Description

Control methods and cleaning systems

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410843259.6, filed on June 26, 2024, entitled "Control Method for Cleaning System and Cleaning System", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of cleaning system technology, and in particular to a control method for a cleaning system and a cleaning system. Background Technology

[0003] With the improvement of people's living standards and the development of home appliance manufacturing technology, there are more and more cleaning devices in people's homes. Mobile cleaning equipment such as sweepers are becoming increasingly common in our lives. They can replace manual sweeping, saving time and effort. When not in use, sweepers are usually in standby or charging stations. When cleaning is needed, the sweeper leaves the station to clean the floor.

[0004] In related technologies, robotic vacuum cleaners and base stations are typically connected via Bluetooth communication networks. If the distance between the base station and the robotic vacuum cleaner exceeds the effective data transmission distance of the Bluetooth network, the Bluetooth connection between the base station and the robotic vacuum cleaner will be lost. When the distance between the base station and the robotic vacuum cleaner falls within the effective data transmission distance of the Bluetooth network, the base station and the robotic vacuum cleaner will automatically reconnect. However, in actual use, there may be occasional instances where the base station and the robotic vacuum cleaner fail to automatically reconnect via Bluetooth. In such cases, manual intervention is required, such as the user triggering the Bluetooth reconnection button on both the base station and the robotic vacuum cleaner. This operation is complex, and the Bluetooth reconnection operation cannot be performed when the user is away.

[0045] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0046] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0047] In related technologies, robotic vacuum cleaners and base stations are typically connected via Bluetooth communication networks. If the distance between the base station and the robotic vacuum cleaner exceeds the effective data transmission distance of the Bluetooth network, the Bluetooth connection between the base station and the robotic vacuum cleaner will be lost. When the distance between the base station and the robotic vacuum cleaner falls within the effective data transmission distance of the Bluetooth network, the base station and the robotic vacuum cleaner will automatically reconnect. However, in actual use, there may be occasional instances where the base station and the robotic vacuum cleaner fail to automatically reconnect via Bluetooth. In such cases, manual intervention is required, such as the user triggering the Bluetooth reconnection button on both the base station and the robotic vacuum cleaner to reconnect them. This operation is complex, and the Bluetooth reconnection operation cannot be performed when the user is away.

[0048] To address the aforementioned problems, this disclosure provides a control method for a cleaning system. The cleaning equipment may include, for example, a laundry handling device, a base station, and a mobile cleaning device. The base station and the laundry handling device are connected via wired or wireless means. The laundry handling device may be, for example, a washing machine, a dryer, or a washer-dryer combo; this disclosure does not limit this type of device. The mobile cleaning device may be, for example, a robotic vacuum cleaner. The cleaning systems provided in subsequent embodiments can be understood in the same way and will not be described further.

[0049] Figure 1 is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a cleaning system provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure. This method can be executed by a control device for the cleaning system provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure. The control device can be implemented using software and / or hardware, for example, it can be integrated into a mobile terminal. The control method for the cleaning system provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure is applicable to application scenarios where mobile cleaning equipment is performing cleaning work. As shown in Figure 1, the control method includes the following steps:

[0050] S101. Obtain information indicating that the second wireless communication network between the base station and the mobile cleaning device is disconnected, transmitted through the first wireless communication network by the garment handling device and / or the mobile cleaning device.

[0051] Specifically, mobile cleaning equipment and base stations are typically connected via a second wireless network, through which relevant information is transmitted between the base station and the mobile cleaning equipment. When performing floor cleaning operations using the mobile cleaning equipment, the equipment needs to move away from the base station. If the distance between the mobile cleaning equipment and the base station is too great or the signal is weak, the second wireless communication network will be disconnected.

[0052] The garment processing device communicates with the base station via wired or wireless means, and the garment processing device connects with the mobile terminal via a first wireless communication network. When the mobile cleaning device approaches the base station, and the distance between the base station and the mobile cleaning device is within the effective data transmission distance of the second wireless communication network, but the base station and the mobile cleaning device cannot automatically reconnect to the second wireless communication network (e.g., due to excessive reconnection attempts), the base station sends a disconnection message between the base station and the mobile cleaning device and the second wireless communication network to the garment processing device via wired or wireless means.

[0053] In some embodiments, the mobile terminal can obtain information about a disconnection of a second wireless communication network between the base station and the mobile cleaning device, sent by the clothing handling device, through a first wireless communication network. In other embodiments, the mobile terminal obtains information about a disconnection of a second wireless communication network between the base station and the mobile cleaning device, sent by the mobile cleaning device, through the first wireless communication network. In still other embodiments, the mobile terminal obtains information about a disconnection of a second wireless communication network between the base station and the mobile cleaning device, sent by both the clothing handling device and the mobile cleaning device, through the first wireless communication network.

[0054] S102. Based on the disconnection information of the second wireless communication network between the base station and the mobile cleaning device, a second wireless communication network reconnection command is sent to the clothing handling device and the mobile cleaning device through the first wireless communication network, so that the base station and the mobile cleaning device can reconnect to the second wireless communication network based on the second wireless communication network reconnection command.

[0055] Specifically, in order to enable the mobile cleaning device and the base station to establish a second wireless communication network connection, based on the information indicating that the second wireless communication network between the base station and the mobile cleaning device has been disconnected, the mobile terminal sends a second wireless communication network reconnection command to the clothing handling device through the first wireless communication network, and sends a second wireless communication network reconnection command to the mobile cleaning device through the first wireless communication network, so that the base station and the mobile cleaning device can establish a second wireless communication network connection based on the second wireless communication network reconnection command.

[0056] In some embodiments, the mobile terminal can use a cloud server as a relay for information transmission. The mobile terminal sends a second wireless communication network reconnection command to the cloud server, and the cloud server sends the second wireless communication network reconnection command to the mobile cleaning device and the laundry handling device. The laundry handling device and / or the mobile cleaning device sends a second wireless communication network disconnection information between the base station and the mobile cleaning device to the cloud server through the first wireless communication network, and the cloud server sends the second wireless communication network disconnection information between the base station and the mobile cleaning device to the mobile cleaning device.

[0057] This embodiment of the disclosure sends a second wireless communication network reconnection command to the clothing handling device and the mobile cleaning device through the first wireless communication network, so that the base station and the mobile cleaning device can reconnect to the second wireless communication network based on the second wireless communication network reconnection command. This simplifies the way the base station and the mobile cleaning device reconnect to the second wireless communication network. Users can remotely control the base station and the mobile cleaning device to reconnect to the second wireless communication network through a mobile terminal, which reduces the difficulty of reconnecting the base station and the mobile cleaning device to the second wireless communication network. It avoids the problem that users need to trigger the reconnection of the second wireless communication network on the clothing handling device and the mobile cleaning device separately, which leads to the problem of difficult reconnection, and improves the user experience.

[0058] This disclosure also provides another control method for a cleaning system. The cleaning equipment may include, for example, a garment handling device, a base station, and a mobile cleaning device. The base station and the garment handling device are connected via wired or wireless means. Figure 2 is a flowchart illustrating another control method for a cleaning system provided in this disclosure. This method can be executed by a control device for another cleaning system provided in this disclosure. The control device can be implemented using software and / or hardware and can be integrated into the garment handling device. The control method for the cleaning system provided in this disclosure is applicable to application scenarios where mobile cleaning devices are performing cleaning work. As shown in Figure 2, the control method includes the following steps:

[0059] S201. Obtain the reconnection command of the second wireless communication network sent by the mobile terminal through the first wireless communication network.

[0060] The second wireless communication network reconnection instruction is sent by the mobile terminal based on the second wireless communication network disconnection information between the base station and the mobile cleaning device; the second wireless communication network disconnection information between the base station and the mobile cleaning device is sent by the laundry handling device and / or the mobile cleaning device.

[0061] Specifically, after the second wireless communication network between the base station and the mobile cleaning device is disconnected, the laundry handling device and / or the mobile cleaning device send a second wireless communication network disconnection information to the mobile terminal through the first wireless communication network. Based on the second wireless communication network disconnection information, the laundry handling device obtains the second wireless communication network reconnection command sent by the mobile terminal through the first wireless communication network.

[0062] S202: Control the base station and the mobile cleaning equipment to connect to the second wireless communication network based on the reconnection command of the second wireless communication network.

[0063] Specifically, based on a reconnection command to the second wireless communication network, the garment handling device establishes a communication connection with the base station. Therefore, the garment handling device controls the base station to reconnect with the mobile cleaning device via the second wireless communication network. This allows users to remotely control the base station and mobile cleaning device to reconnect to the second wireless communication network, reducing the difficulty of reconnecting and avoiding the problem of users needing to trigger reconnection separately on both the garment handling device and the mobile cleaning device, thus improving the user experience.

[0064] This disclosure also provides another control method for a cleaning system. The cleaning equipment may include, for example, a garment handling device, a base station, and a mobile cleaning device. The base station and the garment handling device are connected via wired or wireless means. Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating the control method for another cleaning system provided in this disclosure. This method can be executed by a control device for the cleaning system provided in this disclosure. The control device can be implemented using software and / or hardware and can be integrated into the mobile cleaning device. The control method for the cleaning system provided in this disclosure is applicable to application scenarios where the mobile cleaning device is performing cleaning work. As shown in Figure 3, the control method includes the following steps:

[0065] S301. Obtain the reconnection command of the second wireless communication network sent by the mobile terminal through the first wireless communication network.

[0066] The second wireless communication network reconnection instruction is sent by the mobile terminal based on the second wireless communication network disconnection information between the base station and the mobile cleaning device; the second wireless communication network disconnection information between the base station and the mobile cleaning device is sent by the laundry handling device and / or the mobile cleaning device.

[0067] Specifically, after the second wireless communication network between the base station and the mobile cleaning device is disconnected, the laundry handling device and / or the mobile cleaning device sends a second wireless communication network disconnection information to the mobile terminal through the first wireless communication network. Based on the second wireless communication network disconnection information, the mobile cleaning device obtains the second wireless communication network reconnection command sent by the mobile terminal through the first wireless communication network.

[0068] S302. Connect to the second wireless communication network with the base station based on the second wireless communication network reconnection command.

[0069] Specifically, after receiving a reconnection command from the mobile terminal to the second wireless communication network, the mobile cleaning device reconnects to the base station via the second wireless communication network. This allows users to remotely control the base station and the mobile cleaning device to reconnect to the second wireless communication network, reducing the difficulty of reconnection and avoiding the problem of users having to trigger reconnection separately on both the clothing handling device and the mobile cleaning device, which would otherwise be difficult and improve the user experience.

[0070] Optionally, the base station can be connected to the garment processing equipment via wired or wireless communication.

[0071] For example, the garment processing device can be connected via wired or wireless communication networks to ensure communication between the device and the base station. For instance, the base station can be placed near the garment processing device, and wired communication between the device and the base station reduces the length of the data cable. Simultaneously, since the garment processing device is also used for cleaning clothes, the presence of nearby water pipes or drainpipes facilitates cleaning when the mobile cleaning device returns to the base station. If the garment processing device and the base station are directly connected via a wireless communication network, the type of wireless communication network can be selected based on the distance between them, such as using Bluetooth. Since the base station and the mobile cleaning device are connected via a second wireless communication network, and the base station includes modules for this second wireless communication network, the garment processing device and the base station can be connected via this second wireless communication network without requiring changes to the base station's structure, thus saving costs.

[0072] Optionally, the first communication network includes a WiFi communication network.

[0073] Specifically, the mobile cleaning device and the mobile terminal are connected via a first wireless communication network, and the mobile terminal and the garment processing device are also connected via the first wireless communication network. WiFi communication networks offer high flexibility and mobility, allowing access to the network from anywhere within the wireless signal coverage area, and users connected to the wireless LAN can move while maintaining network connectivity. Even when the mobile cleaning device moves over a large area, it can maintain communication with the mobile terminal. Since the garment processing device typically has its own first wireless communication network, the mobile terminal and the garment processing device can also connect via the first wireless communication network, i.e., the WiFi communication network, without causing the communication network connection between the aforementioned devices to be lost.

[0074] For example, when a user is out and discovers that the Bluetooth communication network between the base station and the mobile cleaning device is disconnected via a mobile terminal, the user can directly send a Bluetooth communication network reconnection command to the clothing handling device and the mobile cleaning device via a WiFi communication network. The clothing handling device controls the base station to establish a Bluetooth communication network connection with the mobile cleaning device via wired or wireless communication. The mobile cleaning device then establishes a Bluetooth communication network connection with the base station based on the Bluetooth communication network reconnection command.

[0075] Optionally, the second communication network includes a Bluetooth communication network.

[0076] Specifically, communication between the mobile cleaning device and the base station is achieved through a second wireless communication network, which can be a Bluetooth communication network. Bluetooth communication networks are primarily used for short-range data exchange. Using Bluetooth, the device has low power consumption, strong anti-interference capabilities, and low cost, making it suitable for large-scale deployment. In most cases, the distance between the mobile cleaning device and the base station is not too great, which can meet the communication needs in most situations.

[0077] This disclosure also provides a control device for a cleaning system. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a control device for a cleaning system provided in this disclosure. As shown in Figure 4, the control device for the cleaning system includes: a disconnection information acquisition module 401 and a reconnection command sending module 402. The disconnection information acquisition module 401 is used to acquire disconnection information of a second wireless communication network between the base station and the mobile cleaning device, sent by the laundry handling device and / or the mobile cleaning device through a first wireless communication network. The reconnection command sending module 402 is used to send a second wireless communication network reconnection command to the laundry handling device and the mobile cleaning device through the first wireless communication network based on the second wireless communication network disconnection information between the base station and the mobile cleaning device, so that the base station and the mobile cleaning device can reconnect to the second wireless communication network based on the second wireless communication network reconnection command.
