Cleaning device, method and system for generating cleaning route, and method and system for generating cleaning map
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cleaning devices, such as sweeping and mopping robots, lack the capability to distinguish and display different cleaning routes on a map, making it difficult for users to visualize and compare cleaning effects and identify missed areas or incorrect cleaning operations.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for generating a cleaning route and map that determines the state mode and water consumption of the cleaning device, allowing for the differentiation of sweeping, mopping, and combined routes, which are then superimposed onto an environmental map for clear visualization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a single cleaning route is displayed on the map, then the map display is simple, but users cannot distinguish between sweeping and mopping routes or identify missed areas
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning route is segmented into distinct types (sweeping route, mopping route, combined route, idle route) based on the operational state of the cleaning device. Each route type is generated and displayed separately on the map with unique visual characteristics, enabling users to distinguish different cleaning activities and identify missed areas without overwhelming system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
Different visual qualities are applied to different route segments based on their type. Sweeping routes, mopping routes, and combined routes are displayed with distinct colors, patterns, or markers on the map, allowing users to locally identify the nature of cleaning operations in specific areas while maintaining an overall simple map display
2Measurement precision
If cleaning routes are distinguished by state mode and water consumption, then cleaning effectiveness is improved, but data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system preliminarily determines the state mode (sweeping, mopping, combined, idle) and water consumption metrics during the cleaning operation itself, before generating the route display. This preliminary data collection and classification enables precise cleaning effect visualization on the map without requiring complex real-time processing during route rendering
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses changes in operational parameters (state mode transitions and water consumption levels) to automatically differentiate and categorize cleaning routes. By monitoring parameter changes during operation, the system precisely identifies different cleaning activities and reflects them accurately on the map display without requiring complex external processing systems

AI summary
A cleaning path acquisition method includes: generating a cleaning path of a cleaning device on the basis of a path of the cleaning device, a state mode of the cleaning device, and the amount of water consumed by the cleaning device, wherein the state modes of the cleaning device comprise one or more of a sweeping state mode, a mopping state mode, a sweeping and mopping state mode, and a sweeping and mopping idle state mode; and the cleaning path comprises one or more of a sweeping path, a mopping path, a sweeping and mopping path, and a sweeping and mopping idle path corresponding to the state modes of the cleaning device.
