Solution Overview
Problem
Cleaning robots with both sweeping and mopping functions face the challenge of preventing the sweeping member from polluting or dirtying the mopped area, as the ground surface becomes wet after mopping, leading to re-pollution when the sweeping member interacts with accumulated dirt.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning control method and device that adjust the operating parameters to maintain a specific distance between the sweeping and mopping areas, ensuring the sweeping area does not cover the mopped area, thereby preventing re-pollution and allowing the mopping area to clean any contacted areas by the sweeping member.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the sweeping member and mopping member work simultaneously, then cleaning efficiency is improved, but the sweeping member pollutes the mopped area
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning process is segmented into distinct sweeping and mopping operations with separate working areas. The sweeping member and mopping member are controlled to operate in different spatial zones, with the sweeping member working on dry areas and the mopping member working on wet areas, preventing contamination between operations
Solution Approach 2:
The mopping operation is performed first to wet and clean the ground surface, creating a mopped area. Then the sweeping member is controlled to avoid this pre-treated area, performing sweeping only in areas that haven't been mopped yet, thus preventing re-pollution of the freshly mopped surface
2Area of stationary object
If the sweeping area overlaps with the mopped area, then cleaning coverage is improved, but the mopped area gets dirty again
Solution Approach 1:
Different quality requirements are applied to different areas: the mopped area requires a no-sweeping zone to maintain its clean wet surface, while other areas can be swept. The system creates a localized restriction on sweeping operations within the mopped area boundaries, allowing sweeping in non-mopped regions
Solution Approach 2:
The control system acts as an intermediary between the sweeping and mopping operations. It monitors the positions of both members and dynamically adjusts the sweeping area boundaries to prevent overlap with the mopped area, coordinating the operations to avoid contamination

AI summary
A cleaning control method and device including a cleaning robot are provided. The cleaning robot includes a sweeping member and a mopping member which cooperate with each other, and an operating parameter is obtained. A sweeping area formed in real time by the sweeping member, a mopping area formed in real time by the mopping member and a mopped area formed on a lateral side of the cleaning robot are controlled to meet a first preset relationship according to the operating parameter. The first preset relationship includes that a first distance formed between a boundary of the sweeping area closest to the mopped area and a boundary of the mopped area closest to the sweeping area is greater than or equal to a second distance between a boundary of the mopping area closest to the mopped area and a boundary of the mopped area closest to the mopping area.
