The transmission structure is operatively connected between the housing cover 115 and the wiping structure, so that when the housing cover 115 is moved, the wiping structure wipes the camera 41. Specifically, when the housing cover 115 is opened or closed, the housing cover 115 can drive the transmission structure to move, which in turn drives the wiping structure to wipe the camera 41. When the housing cover 115 is opened or closed, the wiping structure automatically wipes the camera 41, providing convenience for the user.
[0085] For example, the transmission structure may include a connecting rod transmission structure or a gear transmission structure, which is not limited in this application.
[0086] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG17 , the dust storage member 111 further has a dust inlet and a dust outlet 114, and the dust inlet and / or the dust outlet 114 are located within the field of view of the camera 41. The dust inlet may be located within the field of view of the camera 41, the dust outlet 114 may be located within the field of view of the camera 41, or both the dust inlet and the dust outlet 114 may be located within the field of view of the camera 41. When the camera 41 detects that the dust inlet and / or the dust outlet 114 are blocked, the information that the dust inlet and / or the dust outlet 114 are blocked may be promptly fed back to the user, and the user may promptly clean the dust inlet and / or the dust outlet 114 to ensure normal use of the dust collection system 100.
[0087] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 17, the camera 41 is an infrared night vision camera, the dust storage chamber 112 is a closed chamber, and it is difficult for external light to penetrate into the dust storage chamber 112. The dust storage chamber 112 is a dark environment, or when the dust collection system 100 is working at night, the infrared night vision camera can meet the camera 41's need to observe the dust storage chamber 112 in a dark environment, ensuring that the current dust collection amount of the garbage in the dust storage chamber 112 is obtained more clearly and accurately.
[0088] Alternatively, the dust box 11 also includes a light-emitting component, which is arranged in the dust storage chamber 112. When the dust storage chamber 112 is a dark environment, or when the dust collection system 100 is working at night, the light-emitting component can increase the brightness in the dust storage chamber 112 to meet the camera 41's internal observation needs in different environments, ensuring that the current dust collection amount of garbage in the dust storage chamber 112 is obtained more clearly and accurately.
[0089] In some examples, the dust box 11 is a fill light, which can increase the brightness inside the dust box 11, meet the needs of internal observation of the dust box 11 under different situations, ensure that the garbage information in the dust box 11 is obtained more clearly and accurately, and facilitate the identification of garbage in the dust box 11.
[0090] According to some embodiments of the present application, the light-emitting element is a light strip, which can provide a relatively stable light source for the dust storage chamber 112 , and the installation method of the light strip is relatively convenient.
[0091] According to some embodiments of the present application, the dust storage chamber 112 has an assembly groove, and the light strip is installed in the assembly groove, which can avoid garbage in the dust storage chamber 112 and prevent the garbage from damaging the light strip.
[0092] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 17, the dust storage part 111 also has a dust inlet and a dust outlet 114, and the camera 41 is installed on the wall where the dust inlet is located. When the dust collection system 100 is working, since the wind force at the dust inlet is relatively large, the position close to the dust inlet, such as the wall where the dust inlet is located, is not easily contaminated with garbage or dust, thereby avoiding garbage or dust blocking the line of sight of the camera 41 to a certain extent, which is beneficial for the camera 41 to observe the working status of the dust storage part 111.
[0093] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 17, the camera 41 is installed on the wall where the dust outlet 114 is located. Since the wind force at the dust outlet 114 is relatively strong, the position close to the dust outlet 114, such as the wall where the dust outlet 114 is located, is not easily contaminated with garbage or dust, thereby avoiding garbage or dust blocking the line of sight of the camera 41 to a certain extent, which is beneficial for the camera 41 to observe the working status of the dust storage part 111.
[0094] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG17 , the dust storage member 111 includes a housing, a housing cover 115, and a dust storage box. The dust storage box is detachably mounted within the housing and contains a dust storage chamber 112. The dust storage box can be removed from the housing to facilitate cleaning of the dust storage chamber 112 by the user. The dust storage chamber 112 has an opening, and the housing cover 115 is movably mounted on the housing to open or close the opening. The camera 41 is mounted on the dust storage box or the housing cover 115. When cleaning the dust storage chamber 112, the user can open the housing cover 115 and use the wiping mechanism to wipe the camera 41, thereby providing convenience for the user.
[0095] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 17, the dust storage chamber 112 has an air duct connected to the fan, and the dust box 11 also includes a filter element arranged in the dust storage chamber 112, the filter element is installed at the air duct opening of the air duct, and the camera 41 is installed on the wall adjacent to the filter element. Since the wind force at the air duct opening is relatively large, the position near the air duct opening, such as the wall where the filter element is located, is not easily contaminated with garbage or dust, thereby avoiding garbage or dust from blocking the line of sight of the camera 41 to a certain extent, which is beneficial for the camera 41 to observe the working status of the dust storage element 111.
[0096] Of course, it is understandable that the camera 41 can also be installed in a dead corner of airflow according to the flow trajectory of the airflow in the dust storage chamber 112, so that the airflow for cleaning garbage is not easy to flow to the camera 41, that is, the garbage is not easy to cover the camera 41, which can ensure that the line of sight of the camera 41 is not easily blocked.
[0097] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 17, the dust storage part 111 also has a through hole connected to the dust storage chamber 112, the collection module 40 is detachably mounted on the dust storage part 111, and the collection module 40 is suitable for extending into the dust storage chamber 112 through the through hole. The collection module 40 can be removed from the dust storage part 111, which can facilitate the later maintenance or replacement of the collection module 40, and can also facilitate the user to wipe the collection module 40 at any time, thereby ensuring the working stability of the collection module 40.
[0098] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG17 , the dust storage member 111 further includes a dust inlet and a dust outlet 114, and the dust collection box 11 further includes a second sensor, which is disposed at the dust inlet or the dust outlet 114 and is configured to obtain a dust collection flow rate at the dust inlet or the dust outlet 114. When the user detects through the second sensor that the dust collection flow rate at the dust inlet or the dust outlet 114 is lower than a normal dust collection flow rate, the user can promptly clean the dust inlet or the dust outlet 114, thereby ensuring normal use of the dust collection system 100.
[0099] The following describes a dust collection system 100 according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 17 .
[0100] In this embodiment, a dust box 11 is used in a dust collection system 100. The dust box 11 includes a dust storage member 111 and a collection module 40. The dust storage member 111 has a dust storage chamber 112. The collection module 40 includes a camera 41, which is mounted on the wall where the dust inlet or the wall where the dust outlet 114 is located, and is used to obtain the amount of dust collected in the dust storage chamber 112. The camera 41 may be provided with a wrapping film on the outside, which is used to wrap the camera 41. The wrapping film may be made of plastic. The dust storage member 111 also has a dust inlet and a dust outlet 114. The dust inlet and / or the dust outlet 114 are located within the field of view of the camera 41 to obtain the dust collection status of the dust inlet and / or the dust outlet 114. The dust box 11 also includes a second sensor, which is mounted at the dust inlet or the dust outlet 114, and is used to obtain the dust flow rate of the dust inlet or the dust outlet 114.
[0101] The inner wall of the dust storage chamber 112 has a mounting groove, into which the camera 41 is mounted. The dust box 11 also includes a seal for sealing the camera 41 within the mounting groove. The dust box 11 also includes a transmission structure and a wiping structure. The transmission structure is operatively connected between the housing cover 115 and the wiping structure, so that when the housing cover 115 moves, the wiping structure drives the wiping structure to wipe the camera 41.
[0102] The camera 41 may be an infrared night vision camera 41, or the dust box 11 may further include a light-emitting element disposed within the dust storage chamber 112. The light-emitting element may be a light strip, which is mounted within an assembly slot within the dust storage chamber 112. The infrared night vision camera 41 or the light strip disposed within the dust storage chamber 112 can both ensure that the dust storage chamber 112 is in a dark environment and that the dust collection system 100 is used at night.
[0103] The user can obtain the amount of dust collected in the dust storage chamber 112 through the collection module 40. When the amount of dust collected is equal to or close to the maximum amount of dust collected that the dust storage chamber 112 can bear, the user can manually open the shell cover 115 to manually clean the garbage in the dust storage chamber 112; or the dust collection station 20 collects the garbage in the dust storage chamber 112 into the dust collection station 20, and the user can obtain the amount of dust collected in the dust storage chamber 112 through the collection module 40 to determine whether the garbage in the dust storage chamber 112 has been cleaned.
[0104] The user can obtain the amount of dust collected in the dust storage chamber 112 through the collection module 40. When the amount of dust collected is equal to or close to the maximum amount of dust collected that the dust storage chamber 112 can bear, the user can manually clean the garbage in the dust storage chamber 112.
[0105] According to the control method of the dust collection system 100 according to the embodiment of the present application, the dust collection system 100 is the dust collection system 100 according to the embodiment of the present application.
[0106] As shown in FIG5 and FIG12, the control method includes:
[0107] Obtaining real-time garbage information in the dust collection component, for example, the garbage information in the dust collection component can be obtained through the acquisition module 40 or the garbage situation in the dust collection component can be directly observed;
[0108] Obtaining a cleaning condition of the dust collecting component, for example, the cleaning condition may be that the dust collecting component is full of garbage or the garbage in the dust collecting component is moldy;
[0109] When the garbage information meets the cleaning conditions, a prompt message is generated to clean the dust collection component or the dust collection component is cleaned, thereby reminding the user to clean the dust collection component in time, avoiding the problem of garbage piling up in the dust collection component and hindering the dust collection system 100 from collecting dust, ensuring the dust collection effect of the dust collection system 100, making the sweeping robot 10 have a good cleaning effect on the ground, and ensuring the health of the user. In this way, the dust collection component can be visualized, making it easier for the user to judge the garbage in the dust collection component, and by obtaining the garbage information in the dust collection component in real time, the user can clean the garbage in the dust collection component in time, thereby improving the user experience.
[0110] Since the dust collection system 100 according to the embodiment of the present application has the above-mentioned beneficial technical effects, the control method of the dust collection system 100 according to the embodiment of the present application is that the collection module 40 is provided on the dust collection box 11 for collecting garbage information in the dust collection box 11, and / or the collection module 40 is provided on the dust collection piece 21 for collecting garbage information in the dust collection piece 21, and the sweeping robot 10 has a cooperation state with the dust collection station 20 and a separation state with the dust collection station 20. In the cooperation state, the sweeping robot 10 can The dust collection outlet 12 of the floor robot 10 is connected with the dust collection outlet 22 of the dust collection station 20, which can realize the visualization of the dust box 11 and / or the dust collecting part 21, facilitate the judgment of the garbage in the dust box 11 and / or the dust collecting part 21, and can clean the garbage in the dust box 11 and / or the dust collecting part 21 in time, avoiding the problem that the dust collecting part 21 and / or the dust collecting part 21 is full of garbage and is not conducive to the cleaning of the dust collection system 100, so that the cleaning effect of the dust collection system 100 is good and the user experience is improved.
[0111] In some embodiments, the dust collecting component can be a dust box 11 and / or a dust collecting part 21, that is, the dust collecting component can be a dust box 11, or the dust collecting component can be a dust collecting part 21, or the dust collecting component can be a dust box 11 and a dust collecting part 21, which can realize the visualization requirements of the dust box 11 and / or the dust collecting part 21, and facilitate timely cleaning of the dust box 11 and / or the dust collecting part 21.
[0112] For example, in some embodiments, when the dust collection component is a dust box 11, as shown in FIG12 , the control method of the dust collection system 100 includes:
[0113] Obtaining real-time garbage information in the dust box 11, for example, the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 can be obtained through the collection module 40 of the dust box 11 or the garbage situation in the dust box 11 can be directly observed;
[0114] Obtaining a cleaning condition of the dust box 11, for example, the cleaning condition may be that the dust box 11 is full of garbage or the garbage in the dust box 11 is moldy;
[0115] When the garbage information meets the cleaning conditions, the dust box 11 is cleaned, and the dust box 11 can be cleaned in time to prevent the dust box 11 from being filled with garbage and hindering the cleaning of the sweeping robot 10 or to prevent the garbage in the dust box 11 from becoming moldy. This makes the cleaning effect of the sweeping robot 10 good and ensures the health of the user. In this way, the dust box 11 can be visualized, which facilitates the judgment of the garbage information in the dust box 11. By obtaining the garbage information in the dust box 11 in real time, the garbage in the dust box 11 can be cleaned in time, thereby improving the user experience.
[0116] It should be noted that "obtaining real-time garbage information from the dust box 11" here means continuously acquiring garbage information from the dust box 11. For example, garbage information from the dust box 11 may be acquired at regular intervals (e.g., 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds). The interval may be constant or variable, for example, varying from 1 second to 3 seconds based on the progress of dust collection (as time passes, the amount of garbage and dirt to be collected gradually decreases, and the collection interval gradually lengthens), or randomly varying.
[0117] In some embodiments, the control method further includes:
[0118] The cleaning robot 10 is in the mating state, in other words, the dust collection outlet 12 is connected to the dust collection port 22, and the second charging terminal is connected to the first charging terminal 24;
[0119] Controlling the dust collection mode of the dust collection station 20 to start, so as to collect dust from the sweeping robot 10 and meet the required dust collection requirements;
[0120] After the dust collection is completed, the dust collection station 20 is controlled to charge the sweeping robot 10, which can meet the charging needs of the sweeping robot 10. Therefore, the dust collection and charging control are performed separately by the dust collection system 100, which can ensure the charging stability of the sweeping robot 10 and make charging safer and more efficient.
[0121] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG13 , the cleaning conditions include:
[0122] The ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 reaches a threshold value. Therefore, the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 can be controlled, and the position of the dust box 11 occupied by the garbage in the dust box 11 can be determined, which facilitates timely cleaning of the dust box 11 and ensures the need for timely cleaning of the dust box 11.
[0123] In some embodiments, the threshold value is less than or equal to 1. The specific value can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the threshold value can be set before shipment or by the user to meet the cleaning requirements of different amounts of garbage in the dust box 11. In some specific embodiments, the threshold value can be 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, etc.
[0124] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG14 , obtaining the garbage information in the dust box 11 includes:
[0125] Obtaining the garbage image in the dust box 11 so that the user can observe the garbage image and facilitate subsequent operations by the user. For example, the garbage image in the dust box 11 can be collected by the collection module 40 in the dust box 11;
[0126] Based on the garbage image, the garbage information is determined. By determining the garbage information of different garbage, it is convenient to subsequently process the garbage differently according to different garbage, which can meet different garbage processing needs.
[0127] In some embodiments, the garbage information may include type, total amount, size, whether it is easy to clean, whether it is easy to breed bacteria, mold, etc., which facilitates the determination of the garbage status of different garbage and makes garbage judgment more accurate.
[0128] In some embodiments, based on the garbage image, it is determined that the dust box 11 is full of garbage, which facilitates the judgment of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11, making the judgment more intuitive and efficient, and whether to clean the garbage in the dust box 11 can be selected according to the judgment of different users to meet the usage needs of different users.
[0129] It should be noted that the method of obtaining spam information can also be assisted by other sensors, such as infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors or gravity sensors, which can be used alone or in combination with image acquisition components (such as cameras), and are not specifically limited in this application.
[0130] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG14 , the control method further includes:
[0131] Collect garbage information and feed it back to the terminal. For example, the garbage information in the dust box 11 can be the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11, or the garbage situation in the dust box 11 can be the garbage accumulation image in the dust box 11. Alternatively, the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 and the garbage accumulation image in the dust box 11 can be collected at the same time to meet different acquisition needs of users.
[0132] The collected garbage information in the dust box 11 is displayed through the terminal to prompt the user to clean the dust box 11, making it more convenient for the user to view. For example, the terminal can be an application (APP) in a mobile phone, so that the user can obtain the garbage situation in the dust box 11 at any location to meet different viewing needs.
[0133] In some embodiments, a reminder component is provided on the sweeping robot 10. When the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 reaches a threshold, the reminder component can remind the user so that the user can clean the dust box 11 in time after receiving the reminder information, thereby ensuring the dust collection effect of the dust collection system 100 and improving the user experience.
[0134] In some embodiments, the reminder component may include various modules to ensure that the user can promptly receive a reminder that the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 reaches a threshold.
[0135] For example, in some embodiments, the reminder component may include a display alarm module. For example, the display alarm module may be a constant light, a flashing light, a digital display, a text display, an icon display, and the like.
[0136] When the alarm module is displayed in digital form, the digital display can show the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust box 11 in the form of a percentage, so that the user can accurately know the current storage space value of the garbage, and can clean the dust box 11 in time before or when the dust box 11 is full of garbage, to ensure the normal operation of the sweeping robot 10.
[0137] For another example, in some embodiments, the reminder component may include a sound alarm module. For example, the sound alarm module may issue a voice reminder and a ring tone reminder.
[0138] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the reminder component may include a display alarm module and a sound alarm module, which can provide reminders in multiple ways to avoid neglect that causes the dust box 11 to fill up with garbage and affects the cleaning effect of the sweeping robot 10.
[0139] In some embodiments where the acquisition module 40 includes a camera 41, a fill light can be arranged around the camera 41 in the dust box 11. The fill light can provide fill light to the camera 41, allowing the camera 41 to observe the garbage situation in the dust box 11 more clearly, ensuring that the current storage space value of the garbage is obtained more accurately, and facilitating the camera 41 to identify the garbage in the dust box 11.
[0140] As shown in FIG16 , the control method includes:
[0141] Obtaining the current brightness in the dust box 11, for example, the current brightness in the dust box 11 can be obtained by the acquisition module 40 in the dust box 11;
[0142] Determining that the current brightness in the dust box 11 is lower than a preset brightness in the dust box 11 , for example, the preset brightness may be a brightness at which the garbage in the dust box 11 can be accurately observed;
[0143] Control the fill light to turn on. The fill light can increase the brightness inside the dust box 11, making it easier to observe the garbage situation in the dust box 11, so that the current storage space value of the garbage can be obtained more accurately. The fill light can be controlled according to different situations, effectively saving energy waste.
[0144] In some embodiments, the preset brightness can be set by the user according to needs to meet the observation habits and needs of different users, which is conducive to improving the user experience.
[0145] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG10 , the control method further includes:
[0146] Identify the garbage in the dust box 11. For example, the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 can be identified by the collection module 40 provided in the dust box 11.
[0147] According to the preset correspondence between garbage and garbage types, the garbage type corresponding to the garbage in the dust box 11 is determined. Thus, the garbage type in the dust box 11 can be determined, and according to the different garbage types in the dust box 11, the garbage in the dust box 11 can be subsequently processed accordingly to meet different processing needs.
[0148] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG10 , the control method further includes:
[0149] During the cleaning process of the sweeping robot 10, the garbage in the dust box 11 is identified. For example, during the cleaning process of the sweeping robot 10, the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 is identified by the collection module 40 provided in the dust box 11; for another example, during the cleaning process of the sweeping robot 10, the garbage to be collected is identified by the collection module 40 (such as a camera) provided on the body of the sweeping robot 10 (for example, the front bumper, top, bottom, etc.), so that the identification of the collected garbage is more efficient, real-time, convenient and quick.
[0150] For example, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG8 , the control method further includes:
[0151] Determining that the type of garbage in the dust box 11 is a type of garbage that breeds bacteria. In other words, some or all of the garbage in the dust box 11 corresponds to the type of garbage that breeds bacteria, i.e., it is a type of garbage that breeds bacteria.
[0152] The garbage in the dust box 11 is dust collected or sterilized so that the garbage in the dust box 11 can enter the dust collecting part 21, avoiding the growth of bacteria in the dust collecting part 21, and ensuring the health of the user. For example, the garbage entering the dust collecting part 21 can be sterilized by the sterilization device in the dust collecting part 21, effectively avoiding the growth of bacteria; or, the garbage in the dust box 11 is sterilized. In other words, the garbage in the dust box 11 is sterilized by the sterilization device of the sweeping robot 10 to meet the required sterilization requirements, effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria in the dust box 11, avoid the growth of bacteria to the outside, and ensure the health of the user.
[0153] For example, in some embodiments, the control method further includes:
[0154] Determining that the type of garbage in the dust box 11 is a type of garbage with an odor. In other words, some or all of the garbage in the dust box 11 corresponds to the type of garbage with an odor, that is, it is a type of garbage with an odor.
[0155] The garbage in the dust box 11 is subjected to dust collection or sterilization treatment so that the garbage in the dust box 11 can enter the dust collecting part 21, thereby preventing the odor from being transmitted to the outside and ensuring the user's experience. For example, the garbage entering the dust collecting part 21 can be deodorized in the dust collecting part 21; or, the garbage in the dust box 11 is subjected to deodorization treatment, which can achieve the deodorization of the garbage and prevent the odor from being transmitted to the outside and ensuring the user's experience.
[0156] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG10 , the control method includes:
[0157] According to the real-time garbage information, the dust collection parameters of the dust collection station 20 are dynamically adjusted, and the dust collection parameters of the dust collection station 20 are adjusted more quickly, so that the dust collection station 20 can meet the dust collection needs of different types of garbage, ensuring good dust collection effect. Moreover, according to different garbage types, while meeting the dust collection needs, it can reduce noise and realize silent dust collection, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.
[0158] In some embodiments, the control method further includes:
[0159] According to the garbage information, the dust collection parameters of the sweeping robot 10 are adjusted so that the sweeping robot 10 can meet the cleaning needs of different types of garbage, ensure good cleaning effects, and according to different types of garbage, while meeting the cleaning needs, it can reduce noise and achieve silent cleaning, which is conducive to improving the user experience.
[0160] In some embodiments, the control method further includes:
[0161] Based on the garbage information, the dust collection parameters of the dust collection station 20 and the sweeping robot 10 are dynamically adjusted. Depending on the type of garbage, the dust collection station 20 and the sweeping robot 10 can reduce noise while meeting the required dust collection and cleaning needs, thereby improving the user experience. In some embodiments of the present application, the dust collection parameters include at least one of dust collection flow rate, dust collection suction power, and dust collection time. In other words, the dust collection parameters may include dust collection flow rate, dust collection suction power, or dust collection time; or the dust collection parameters may include dust collection flow rate, dust collection suction power, and dust collection time. Alternatively, the dust collection parameters may include dust collection flow rate, dust collection suction power, and dust collection time. Alternatively, the dust collection parameters may include dust collection flow rate, dust collection suction power, and dust collection time. Different dust collection parameters can be selected and adjusted based on different garbage types, so that the dust collection station 20 and / or the sweeping robot 10 can adjust different dust collection parameters based on different garbage types to meet the required dust collection and / or cleaning needs. For example, when the garbage type requires a lower dust collection flow rate or dust collection suction power, the dust collection flow rate or dust collection suction power can be reduced to facilitate silent dust collection or cleaning.
[0162] In some embodiments, the dust collection parameters can be automatically adjusted according to the dust collection system 100, or the dust collection parameters can be manually adjusted by the user to meet different adjustment requirements.
[0163] In some embodiments, the dust collection parameters of the dust collection station 20 can be manually adjusted according to the user, which can ensure that the garbage in the dust box 11 is cleanly collected, meet the different habits and needs of different users, and help improve the user experience.
[0164] According to some embodiments of the present application, the control method further includes:
[0165] Collecting garbage information and feeding it back to the terminal, for example, the garbage information in the dust box 11 may include the type, total amount, size, and whether it is easy to clean the garbage in the dust box 11;
[0166] Adjusting the dust collection parameters of the dust collection station 20 according to the garbage information collected by the terminal display can ensure that the garbage in the dust box 11 is cleanly collected, meet the different habits and needs of different users, and help improve the user experience. It is also easy for users to view through the terminal, making adjustment more convenient.
[0167] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG8 , identifying the garbage in the dust box 11 includes:
[0168] Obtaining garbage image data in the dust box 11 in real time, for example, obtaining garbage image data in the dust box 11 through the camera 41;
[0169] The image data is processed for garbage recognition to identify the shape information of the garbage and determine the type of garbage currently in the dust box 11. Therefore, since the shape data can reflect the shape characteristics of different types of garbage, and the image data can reflect the planar characteristics and color characteristics of different types of garbage, using the shape data and image data as garbage recognition data can accurately reflect the characteristics of the garbage, thereby improving the accuracy of garbage recognition and accurately determining the type of garbage, facilitating different treatment methods for different types of garbage.
[0170] The inventors of this application discovered that in the related art, there are various types of garbage in the cleaning environment of the sweeping robot, for example, dry garbage, including paper scraps, plastic, debris, paper, etc.; wet garbage, including leftovers, fruit peels, fruit cores, milk, liquids, etc.; if various types of garbage are collected in a dust box for dust collection, and then the different garbage in the dust collection box is thrown into a garbage recycling device (such as a trash can, etc.), manual classification is required, which consumes manpower and time, and affects the user experience.
[0171] Therefore, in some embodiments of the present application, the dust collecting part 21 includes multiple (greater than or equal to two) accommodating cavities, which are used to accommodate different types of garbage respectively. The garbage in the dust box 11 can be collected into the corresponding accommodating cavities, which facilitates the classification of the garbage.
[0172] As shown in FIG10 , the control method includes:
[0173] Determine the corresponding accommodation cavity for the garbage in the dust box 11 according to the preset correspondence between the garbage type and the accommodation cavity. For example, the collection module 40 provided in the dust box 11 identifies the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 and determines the accommodation cavity corresponding to the type of garbage in the dust collecting part 21. Alternatively, the collection module 40 provided in the dust collecting part 21 identifies the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 and determines the accommodation cavity corresponding to the type of garbage in the dust collecting part 21.
[0174] The dust collection station 20 is controlled to collect the garbage in the dust box 11 into the corresponding holding cavity, avoiding the need to manually sort the garbage after collecting garbage of different types together. For example, it is convenient to sort dry garbage or wet garbage, etc., reducing the manpower and time consumed by manual sorting, and improving the user experience.
[0175] According to some embodiments of the present application, the control method includes:
[0176] Determining whether different types of garbage exist in the dust box 11, for example, by identifying the garbage in the dust collecting member 21 through the collection module 40 provided in the dust box 11, and confirming that different types of garbage exist in the dust box 11;
[0177] Control the dust collection station 20 to collect the garbage in the dust box 11 into the corresponding receiving cavity, thereby collecting the garbage in the current dust box 11 and avoiding further collecting garbage of a different type from the garbage in the dust box 11 into the dust box 11, thereby affecting the classification of the garbage;
[0178] After the dust collection is completed, the sweeping robot 10 is controlled to continue cleaning, so that the sweeping robot 10 can perform subsequent cleaning, which is convenient for the sweeping robot 10 to classify different types of garbage and ensure more accurate garbage classification.
[0179] For example, in some embodiments, when the dust collection component is a dust collection member 21, as shown in FIG5 , the control method of the dust collection system 100 includes:
[0180] Acquiring real-time garbage information in the dust collecting part 21, for example, by acquiring the garbage information in the dust collecting part 21 through the acquisition module 40 or by directly observing the garbage information in the dust collecting part 21;
[0181] Obtaining a cleaning condition of the dust collecting part 21, for example, the cleaning condition may be that the dust collecting part 21 is full of garbage or the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 is moldy;
[0182] When the garbage information meets the cleaning conditions, a prompt message is generated to clean the dust collecting part 21, thereby reminding the user to clean the dust collecting part 21 in time, avoiding the problem of garbage piling up in the dust collecting part 21 and hindering the dust collection of the sweeping robot 10, ensuring the dust collection effect of the dust collection system 100, making the sweeping robot 10 have a good cleaning effect on the ground, and ensuring the health of the user. In this way, the dust collecting part 21 can be visualized, making it easier for the user to judge the garbage in the dust collecting part 21, and by obtaining the garbage information in the dust collecting part 21 in real time, the user can clean the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 in time, thereby improving the user's experience.
[0183] It should be noted that “obtaining real-time garbage information in the dust collecting part 21 ” here means continuously obtaining the garbage information in the dust collecting part 21 .
[0184] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG6 , the cleaning conditions include:
[0185] The ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 reaches the threshold value. Therefore, the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 can be controlled, and the position of the dust collecting part 21 occupied by the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 can be determined, which facilitates timely cleaning of the dust collecting part 21 and ensures the need for timely cleaning of the dust collecting part 21.
[0186] In some embodiments, the threshold value is less than or equal to 1. The specific value can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the threshold value can be set before shipment or by the user, and can meet the cleaning needs of different amounts of garbage in the dust collecting part 21. In some specific embodiments, the threshold value can be 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, etc. In some embodiments, the dust collecting station 20 is provided with a reminder component. When the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 reaches 1, the reminder component can remind the user so that the user can clean the dust collecting part 21 in time after receiving the reminder information, thereby ensuring the dust collection effect of the dust collection system 100 and improving the user experience.
[0187] In some embodiments, the reminder component may include various modules to ensure that the user can promptly find out that the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 reaches a threshold.
[0188] For example, in some embodiments, the reminder component may include a display alarm module. For example, the display alarm module may be a constant light, a flashing light, a digital display, a text display, an icon display, and the like.
[0189] When the alarm module is displayed digitally, the digital display can show the ratio of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 to the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 in the form of a percentage, so that the user can accurately know the current storage space value of the garbage, and can clean the dust collecting part 21 in time before or when the dust collecting part 21 is full of garbage, which facilitates the subsequent dust collection of the dust collecting system 100 and ensures the normal operation of the dust collecting system 100.
[0190] For another example, in some embodiments, the reminder component may include a sound alarm module. For example, the sound alarm module may issue a voice reminder and a ring tone reminder.
[0191] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the reminder component may include a display alarm module and a sound alarm module, which can provide reminders in multiple ways to avoid neglect that causes garbage to fill up the dust collecting part 21 and affect the dust collection effect of the dust collection system 100.

[0193] Obtaining the garbage image in the dust collecting part 21 so that the user can observe the garbage image and facilitate the user's subsequent judgment. For example, the garbage image in the dust collecting part 21 can be collected by the collection module 40;
[0194] Based on the garbage image, the garbage information is determined. By determining the garbage information of different garbage, it is convenient to subsequently process the garbage differently according to different garbage, which can meet different garbage processing needs.
[0195] In some embodiments, the garbage information may include type, total amount, size, whether it is easy to clean, whether it is easy to breed bacteria, mold, etc., which facilitates the determination of the garbage status of different garbage and makes garbage judgment more accurate.
[0196] In some embodiments, based on the garbage image, it is determined that the dust collecting part 21 is full of garbage, which facilitates the judgment of the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21, making the judgment more intuitive and efficient, and whether to clean the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 can be selected according to the judgment of different users to meet the usage needs of different users.
[0197] In some embodiments, the dust collecting part 21 can be a transparent part, so that the user can directly observe the garbage situation in the dust collecting part 21, which is convenient for the user to determine whether the dust collecting part 21 is full of garbage, making it more convenient for the user to observe and judge; or, the upper part of the dust collecting part 21 can be a transparent area, and the user can determine through the transparent area whether the current storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21 reaches the maximum storage space value of the garbage in the dust collecting part 21, which is convenient for the user to observe and judge, and can ensure that the dust collecting part 21 has good aesthetics.
[0198] In some embodiments, the collection module 40 in the dust collecting part 21 may include a camera, which can collect images of garbage accumulation in the dust collecting part 21, so as to obtain images of garbage accumulation. At the same time, the user can watch the dust collection process of the dust collection system 100 through the camera to satisfy the user's curiosity. During the dust collection process, it avoids the situation where the user is unclear about whether the dust collection is completed and performs erroneous operation on the dust collection system 100, thereby affecting the dust collection, etc., thereby ensuring the normal operation of the dust collection system 100.
[0199] In some embodiments, the camera can be installed on the top wall or side wall of the dust collecting part 21 to facilitate the camera to collect images of garbage accumulation in the dust collecting part 21, avoid garbage blocking the camera and affecting image collection, and ensure more accurate image collection.
[0200] It should be noted that the method of obtaining spam information can also be assisted by other sensors, such as infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors or gravity sensors, which can be used alone or in combination with image acquisition components (such as cameras), and are not specifically limited in this application.

[0229] The cleaning robot 10 receives a cleaning task instruction and obtains cleaning map data corresponding to the cleaning task instruction. For example, during the cleaning process of the cleaning robot 10 according to the cleaning task, the cleaning robot 10 collects information of moving to different positions to obtain cleaning map data.
[0230] Divide the cleaning map data into rooms. For example, the robot vacuum cleaner 10 can divide different rooms by identifying the type of garbage in the dust box 11. The robot vacuum cleaner 10 can intelligently identify the rooms as bedrooms, kitchens, etc. based on the different types of garbage to meet the needs of dividing different rooms. Alternatively, the user can divide the rooms according to actual needs to meet the needs of dividing different rooms.
[0231] Recording the garbage situation in the dust box 11 after the sweeping robot 10 cleans each room can obtain the garbage situation in each room, which is convenient for determining which room has more garbage and facilitating subsequent operations. For example, the garbage situation includes information such as the amount of garbage and the type of garbage;
[0232] According to the garbage situation in different rooms, the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for cleaning the corresponding rooms are adjusted so that the sweeping robot 10 can meet the cleaning needs of different rooms, ensure good cleaning effects, and make the cleaning of the sweeping robot 10 more intelligent, which is conducive to improving the user experience.
[0233] For example, in some embodiments, after the sweeping robot 10 performs a cleaning task, it can obtain cleaning map data corresponding to the cleaning task instructions. The user can divide multiple rooms into room A, room B, and room C through the cleaning map data, and the sweeping robot 10 cleans room A, room B, and room C respectively, and obtains and records the garbage conditions in the dust boxes 11 in room A, room B, and room C respectively. Therefore, when the sweeping robot 10 performs the cleaning task next time, when cleaning room A, it can adjust the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for cleaning room A according to the garbage situation in the dust box 11 recorded before, so as to meet the cleaning needs of room A; when cleaning room B, it can adjust the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for room B according to the garbage situation in the dust box 11 recorded before, so as to meet the cleaning needs of room B; when cleaning room C, it can adjust the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for room C according to the garbage situation in the dust box 11 recorded before, so as to meet the cleaning needs of room B.

[0237] Controlling the sweeping robot 10 to clean a portion of a single room and then collect dust;
[0238] Recording the amount of garbage collected in the dust collecting unit 21 after cleaning each room can help determine the amount of garbage in each room, making it easier to determine which room has more garbage and facilitate subsequent operations. For example, the garbage situation includes information such as the amount of garbage and the type of garbage.
[0239] According to the garbage situation in different rooms, the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for cleaning the corresponding rooms are adjusted so that the sweeping robot 10 can meet the cleaning needs of different rooms, ensure good cleaning effects, and make the cleaning of the sweeping robot 10 more intelligent, which is conducive to improving the user experience.
[0240] For example, in some embodiments, after the sweeping robot 10 performs a cleaning task, it can obtain cleaning map data corresponding to the cleaning task instructions. The user can divide multiple rooms into room A, room B, and room C through the cleaning map data. After the sweeping robot 10 cleans and collects dust in room A, room B, and room C respectively, it obtains and records the different garbage conditions in room A, room B, and room C. Therefore, when the sweeping robot 10 performs the cleaning task next time, when cleaning room A, it can adjust the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for cleaning room A according to the previously recorded dust and garbage situation in the dust collecting part 21, so as to meet the cleaning needs of room A; when cleaning room B, it can adjust the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for room B according to the previously recorded dust and garbage situation in the dust collecting part 21, so as to meet the cleaning needs of room B; when cleaning room C, it can adjust the cleaning parameters of the sweeping robot 10 for room C according to the previously recorded dust and garbage situation in the dust collecting part 21, so as to meet the cleaning needs of room B.
