Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cleaning robots face a blind zone issue when cleaning along edges due to the mopping module's inability to reach areas between the cleaning member and obstacles, affecting cleaning effectiveness.
Innovation Solution
The cleaning robot employs multiple turning motions and backswings of its rear end cleaning member to cover blind zones, ensuring partial overlap or adjacency with previous cleaning zones, and adjusts movements based on distance and turning radius to enhance cleaning efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the cleaning robot travels linearly along the edge, then the cleaning robot can maintain stable movement, but blind zones are formed between the cleaning member and obstacles that cannot be cleaned
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning robot dynamically adjusts its movement pattern by performing multiple turning motions towards the obstacle and backswings away from the obstacle, transforming from static linear travel to dynamic multi-directional cleaning motion, thereby eliminating blind zones while maintaining stable operation
Solution Approach 2:
The cleaning robot transitions from one-dimensional linear edge travel to two-dimensional cleaning motion by incorporating turning motions towards the obstacle and backswings away, adding spatial dimensions to the cleaning path and ensuring comprehensive coverage of previously inaccessible areas
2Manufacturing precision
If the cleaning robot performs multiple turning motions and backswings to clean blind zones, then cleaning coverage is improved, but cleaning time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning robot implements periodic turning motions and backswings at regular intervals during edge cleaning, creating a rhythmic cleaning pattern that systematically covers blind zones without excessive time consumption, balancing thoroughness with efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The cleaning robot performs partial turning motions and backswings only when blind zones are detected, rather than continuously, applying cleaning actions selectively to areas that require attention and avoiding unnecessary movements that would waste time

AI summary
A cleaning method of a cleaning robot includes, when the cleaning robot travels along an obstacle, driving a rear end of the cleaning robot, on which a cleaning member is arranged, to make multiple turning motions towards the obstacle and multiple backswings away from the obstacle, thereby cleaning a blind zone of the cleaning robot relative to the obstacle. In such a way, blind zones are cleaned when cleaning along obstacles.
