Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing smart cleaning apparatuses, such as sweeping robots, face challenges in accurately controlling the rotational speed of their side brushes, leading to inefficient cleaning due to either knocking away small obstacles or failing to thoroughly clean when the speed is too low.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that determine the target rotational speed of the side brush based on the working mode and detected obstacle information, adjusting the speed according to size or type of obstacles, allowing for flexible control and improved cleaning effectiveness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the side brush maintains the same rotational speed during the entire cleaning task, then the control system is simple, but the cleaning accuracy is low because small obstacles are knocked away when speed is too high and cleaning is not thorough when speed is too low
Solution Approach 1:
The side brush rotational speed is changed from a static fixed value to a dynamic adjustable parameter. The control system dynamically adjusts the rotational speed based on real-time detection of obstacle information and cleaning progress, allowing the brush to adapt its speed to different cleaning scenarios rather than maintaining a constant speed throughout the task
Solution Approach 2:
The control system implements feedback by detecting obstacle information in the cleaning area and using this information to adjust the side brush rotational speed. The system continuously monitors the cleaning environment and modifies the brush speed accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that improves cleaning accuracy while managing complexity through intelligent decision-making
2Productivity
If the side brush rotational speed is increased to improve cleaning thoroughness, then cleaning effectiveness improves, but small obstacles are knocked away causing loss of cleaning precision
Solution Approach 1:
Different rotational speeds are applied based on local conditions in the cleaning area. When obstacles are detected, the system adjusts the brush speed locally for that specific cleaning task rather than maintaining a uniform high speed, allowing thorough cleaning of appropriate areas while preserving small obstacles that require gentler handling
Solution Approach 2:
The rotational speed parameter is changed dynamically based on obstacle detection results. The system modifies the brush speed parameter in response to detected obstacles, transitioning between different speed levels to balance cleaning thoroughness with the preservation of small obstacles, thereby maintaining both productivity and precision
