Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cleaning robots often have an out-of-order cleaning sequence, leading to redundant cleaning due to inefficient division of cleaning regions.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that divide the cleaning region into subregions using a grid map, establishing connection relationships between them to optimize the cleaning sequence, where uncleaned sections are identified and added to subregions, and boundary lines are used to further divide large subregions, establishing connection relationships between small and large subregions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the cleaning region is divided into subregions using simple methods, then the device complexity is reduced, but the cleaning sequence becomes out of order leading to redundant cleaning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveregion division complexityVSAvoidcleaning efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The cleaning region is divided into multiple subregions with established connection relationships between them. Each subregion is processed in a specific sequence based on these relationships, ensuring systematic cleaning without redundancy while maintaining manageable complexity through structured segmentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If the cleaning sequence is optimized using connection relationships, then the cleaning efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases due to region division and relationship establishment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecleaning efficiencyVSAvoidregion division complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Connection relationships between subregions are established in advance before the cleaning process begins. This preliminary structuring of spatial relationships enables the cleaning robot to navigate and clean efficiently without real-time complex calculations, reducing operational complexity while maintaining high cleaning efficiency.

AI summary

Provided are a communication relationship establishing method and device, a computer readable storage medium, an electronic device, and a cleaning device. The method comprises: first dividing an area to be cleaned into at least two sub-areas to be cleaned, and then classifying, according to the area, a large sub-area to be cleaned and a small sub-area to be cleaned; acquiring a boundary line between the large sub-area to be cleaned and the small sub-area to be cleaned; extending the boundary line and determining whether the extended boundary line can divide the above-mentioned large sub-area to be cleaned; and if yes, dividing the large sub-area to be cleaned into a first sub-area to be cleaned on the same side of the boundary line as the small sub-area to be cleaned and a second sub-area to be cleaned on the different side of the boundary line from the small sub-area to be cleaned, and respectively establishing a communication relationship between the small sub-area to be cleaned and the first sub-area to be cleaned and a communication relationship between the small sub-area to be cleaned and the second sub-area to be cleaned.
