【Detailed ways】

Hereinafter, the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" in the description and claims of the present application and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, but not necessarily used to describe a specific sequence or sequence.

As mentioned in the background technology, in the related art, the cleaning equipment usually returns to the base station to clean the mop after the continuous cleaning area reaches the corresponding preset threshold or the continuous cleaning time reaches the corresponding preset threshold, so as to ensure that the cleaning degree of the mop can meet the cleaning requirements . However, since different types of rooms may have different stains, for example, there may be oil stains on the kitchen floor, and if the cleaning equipment does not reach the corresponding preset threshold due to the continuous cleaning time or the continuous cleaning area after cleaning the kitchen If the mop directly enters the living room and other areas for cleaning, it is easy to bring oil stains into the living room and other areas, causing stains to cross in different areas.

In order to solve the above technical problem, according to one aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a method for controlling a cleaning device is proposed. Optionally, in this embodiment, the above cleaning device control method may be applied to a hardware environment composed of a terminal 102, a cleaning device 104, and a base station 106 (also called a dust collection station) as shown in FIG. 1 . As shown in FIG. 1 , the terminal 102 can be connected to the cleaning device 104 and/or the base station 106 through the network to configure the functions of the cleaning device 104 and/or the base station 106 , for example, configure the cleaning function of the cleaning device 104 . The cleaning device 104 can be connected to the base station 106 through the network to determine the current status of the peer (eg, battery status, working status, location information, etc.).

The foregoing network may include but not limited to at least one of the following: a wired network and a wireless network. The above-mentioned wired network may include but not limited to at least one of the following: wide area network, metropolitan area network, local area network, and the above-mentioned wireless network may include but not limited to at least one of the following: WIFI (Wireless Fidelity, Wireless Fidelity), bluetooth, infrared. The network used by the terminal 102 to communicate with the cleaning device 104 and/or the base station 106 and the network used by the cleaning device 104 to communicate with the base station 106 may be the same or different. The terminal 102 may not be limited to PC, mobile phone, tablet computer, etc., the cleaning device 104 may be the host of a self-cleaning robot (for example, a washing and mopping integrated robot), for example, an automatic mop washing machine, and the base station 106 may be a self-cleaning robot. base station.

The cleaning device control method in this embodiment of the present application may be executed by the terminal 102, the cleaning device 104, or the base station 106 alone, or may be jointly executed by at least two of the terminal 102, the cleaning device 104, and the base station 106. Wherein, the method for controlling the cleaning device in the embodiment of the present application performed by the terminal 102, the cleaning device 104 or the base station 106 may also be performed by a client installed on it.

Taking the cleaning device 104 to execute the cleaning device control method in this embodiment as an example, FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of an optional cleaning device control method according to the embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2 , the The flow of the method may include the following steps:

Step S202, determining an area to be cleaned of the cleaning device, wherein the area to be cleaned includes one or more partitions to be cleaned according to room types.

The cleaning device control method in this embodiment may be applied to a scene where cleaning devices clean an area to be cleaned. The above-mentioned area to be cleaned may be an indoor area in a family, or other areas such as an office or a studio, or any other area with partitions according to room types. The above-mentioned cleaning equipment may be the host of the aforementioned self-cleaning robot (for example, an integrated washing and mopping robot), or other equipment with an area cleaning function. The above-mentioned cleaning may be any achievable cleaning operation such as mopping, mopping or sweeping. This is not limited in this embodiment.

When performing area cleaning, the cleaning device may first determine the area to be cleaned by the device, that is, the area to be cleaned. The area to be cleaned may also include one or more partitions to be cleaned according to room types. There are many ways to determine the partition to be cleaned. For example, it can be determined based on the partition identifier, or it can be determined according to the default configuration information. The default configuration information is used to indicate the partition that the cleaning device needs to clean. In this embodiment, Not limited.

The aforementioned partitions to be cleaned may be partial partitions selected from multiple candidate partitions, or may be all candidate partitions. Each partition to be cleaned can be a room, or a type of room (one or more rooms of the same type), or other partitions that allow simultaneous cleaning, for example, sub-rooms divided into rooms Partitions (or rather, subregions). In this embodiment, no limitation is imposed on the partitioning manner for obtaining partitions.

Step S204, determining the target backwashing mode corresponding to the cleaning device.

In order to ensure the cleanliness of the area cleaning, at least one backwashing mode can be configured for the cleaning equipment to control the cleaning equipment to automatically return to the base station for mop cleaning during the mopping or sweeping process. After the cleaning is completed, the cleaning equipment can continue to perform cleaning Work. Each backwashing mode is used to indicate the manner in which the cleaning device returns to the base station to perform mop cleaning during the process of cleaning the area to be cleaned, which may correspond to a backwashing frequency.

There are many ways to set the backwash frequency. For example, the default backwash frequency of the cleaning equipment cannot be set by the user; another example, the default backwash frequency of the cleaning equipment, the user can manually set how many square meters to clean before backwashing (that is, the backwashing mode of backwashing according to the area); another example, The cleaning device defaults to the backwashing frequency, and the user can manually set how long to wash back after cleaning (that is, the backwashing mode that performs backwashing according to time). For the above setting method, since the area area and area cleaning time are not fixed, there is a possibility that the cleaning equipment will clean multiple room areas during one round of cleaning, and it cannot automatically backwash after cleaning a room. In order to alleviate the problem of cross-appearing stains in different partitions (for example, all over the room), it is also possible to set a backwashing mode for backwashing by partition.

Before starting to clean the area to be cleaned, or during the process of cleaning the area to be cleaned, the cleaning device can also determine the target backwashing mode corresponding to the device, that is, the cleaning device returns to the base station during the process of cleaning the area to be cleaned Mode for mop cleaning.

Step S206, when the target backwashing mode is backwashing by partition, the cleaning device cleans the partitions to be cleaned and moves to the base station for mop cleaning after each partition to be cleaned is cleaned.

The cleaning equipment can clean each partition to be cleaned. The order of cleaning each partition to be cleaned may be determined according to the positional relationship of the partitions to be cleaned, or may be determined according to the priority of each partition to be cleaned. This is not limited in this embodiment.

If the determined target backwashing mode is backwashing by partition, in the process of cleaning each partition to be cleaned, after each partition to be cleaned is cleaned, the cleaning equipment can move to the base station for mop cleaning. The above-mentioned mop cleaning may include cleaning the mop by the base station, or changing the mop by the base station, or sending a prompt message for changing the mop after the cleaning device returns to the base station so that the user can manually replace the mop according to the prompt information. No limit. The cleaning frequency of each partition to be cleaned can be the same, for example, both are cleaned once, and both are cleaned twice, etc., and can also be different. For example, for indoor areas such as living rooms and bedrooms, each partition to be cleaned can only be cleaned Once, for indoor areas such as kitchens and toilets, each partition to be cleaned can be cleaned multiple times (for example, twice, three times, etc.), which is not limited in this embodiment.

Optionally, one mop can be used to clean all the partitions to be cleaned, or multiple mops can be used to clean all the areas to be cleaned, and each mop is used to clean part of the areas to be cleaned. For example, indoor areas such as living room and bedroom can be cleaned with the same mop, while indoor areas such as kitchen and bathroom can be cleaned with another mop.

The mop replacement can be performed manually, that is, the cleaning device sends a prompt message for changing the mop, and after the user replaces the mop, the cleaning device continues to clean other partitions. Mop replacement can also be carried out automatically, for example, different mop can be fixed in different adsorbable parts (for example, magnetic suction parts), and the mop can be fixed on the bottom of the cleaning equipment by the adsorbable parts, when the mop needs to be replaced, The polarity of the magnet in the cleaning device can be rotated, or the first absorbable part can be pushed to a specific position of the base station by other mechanical components, and the polarity of the magnet in the cleaning device can be rotated again, and the mop to be used can be placed The second adsorbable part is pushed to the bottom of the cleaning device, and is connected to the cleaning device by adsorption to complete the replacement of the mop. Other methods of changing the mop may also be used, which are not limited in this embodiment.

Through the above steps S202 to S206, by determining the area to be cleaned of the cleaning equipment, wherein the area to be cleaned includes one or more partitions to be cleaned according to the room type; determine the target backwashing mode corresponding to the cleaning equipment; When the washing mode is backwashing by partition, the cleaning equipment cleans the partitions to be cleaned and moves to the base station for mop cleaning after cleaning each partition to be cleaned, which solves the problem of easy stains caused by improper backwashing frequency settings of cleaning equipment in related technologies The problem of cross-appearing in different areas reduces the probability of stains easily cross-appearing in different areas and improves the rationality of area cleaning.

In an exemplary embodiment, determining the area to be cleaned of the cleaning device includes:

S11. Determine the room to be cleaned corresponding to the cleaning device according to the received cleaning instruction;

S12. According to the room type of the room to be cleaned, the room to be cleaned is divided into partitions to be cleaned, wherein all the rooms to be cleaned contained in the partition to be cleaned are of the same room type and the number of room types contained is not more than one.

The execution of the above operation of determining the cleaning area of the cleaning device may be triggered by a cleaning instruction. The cleaning instruction can be issued by the user by operating the base station, by operating the cleaning device or the target terminal, or automatically generated according to the preset daily cleaning tasks. In this embodiment, the method of issuing the cleaning instruction is not specified. limited.

Wherein, the target terminal is a terminal having control authority over the cleaning device, which can send a cleaning instruction to the cleaning device through the network, so that the cleaning device performs a corresponding cleaning operation according to the cleaning instruction.

Based on the received cleaning instruction, the cleaning device can determine the area to be cleaned. For example, the cleaning instruction may carry an identification of the area to be cleaned for identifying the area to be cleaned, and based on the identification of the area to be cleaned and the preset area map, the cleaning device may determine all the above-mentioned areas to be cleaned. The preset area map may be the same as the area map of the current area where the cleaning device is located (for example, the house map of the user's family), which may be pre-stored or carried in the cleaning instruction. The preset region map contains partition information for identifying multiple candidate partitions into which the preset region map is divided (may include partition boundaries, partition identifiers of candidate partitions, etc.), based on the partition identifier to be cleaned and multiple candidate partitions According to the partition information, the cleaning device can determine the above-mentioned one or more partitions to be cleaned.

Optionally, in order to ensure the flexibility of the configuration of the backwashing mode and reduce the complexity of the map configuration, the cleaning device may determine the above-mentioned one or more partitions to be cleaned according to the received cleaning instruction. After receiving the cleaning instruction, the cleaning device may determine the room to be cleaned for this cleaning task, that is, the room to be cleaned. The room to be cleaned may be all or part of multiple candidate rooms corresponding to the cleaning equipment. That is, the cleaning instruction may carry the room type identification corresponding to the specified room type to be cleaned or the room identification corresponding to the specified room type to be cleaned. Based on the above identification and the preset area map, the cleaning device may determine the room to be cleaned and The area to be cleaned is further determined, and the corresponding area to be cleaned is determined based on the area to be cleaned. According to the room type of the room to be cleaned, the cleaning device may divide the room to be cleaned into partitions to be cleaned. All the rooms to be cleaned in each partition to be cleaned are of the same room type, and the number of room types contained is not more than one, that is, a partition to be cleaned contains a room to be cleaned of a room type, or a room type part of the room to be cleaned. For example, the cleaning device can determine a room to be cleaned as a partition to be cleaned, that is, the two have a one-to-one correspondence. For another example, the cleaning device may determine all rooms to be cleaned of a room type as a partition to be cleaned. For another example, the cleaning device may determine a partial area of a room to be cleaned (ie, a sub-room area) as a partition to be cleaned. This is not limited in this embodiment.

In addition, the aforementioned operation of determining the partition to be cleaned may also be performed by other devices, for example, a target terminal, a server, etc. The process of determining the partition to be cleaned by other devices is similar to the above, and will not be repeated here.

Through this embodiment, the room to be cleaned is determined in response to the received cleaning instruction, and the room to be cleaned is divided into partitions to be cleaned based on the room type, which can improve the flexibility of backwashing mode configuration and reduce the complexity of map configuration.

In an exemplary embodiment, according to the room type of the room to be cleaned, the room to be cleaned is divided into partitions to be cleaned, including:

S21. When there is a room to be cleaned including at least one preset sub-room area in the room to be cleaned, determine the partition to be cleaned corresponding to each sub-room area according to the room type of the sub-room area.

Based on the function of the house (for example, a room is used as both a kitchen and a living room, that is, an open kitchen), the types of dirt generated in different areas of a room can be different; based on the house area, if the house area is too large, each time Cleaning a complete room and then cleaning the rag can easily lead to dirty cleaning. In this embodiment, all or part of the rooms in the preset area map may be divided into multiple sub-room areas as required, and one sub-room area may correspond to one partition to be cleaned.

After the room to be cleaned is determined, the cleaning device may further determine whether the room to be cleaned is divided into multiple sub-room areas. If there is a room to be cleaned that includes at least one preset sub-room area in the room to be cleaned, the cleaning device may determine the partition to be cleaned corresponding to each sub-room area according to the room type of the sub-room area.

For example, if the room to be cleaned includes a living room, and the living room is divided into two living room partitions, that is, two sub-room areas, the cleaning device may determine each living room partition as a partition to be cleaned.

Through this embodiment, the partition to be cleaned is determined according to the sub-room area divided by the room, and the sub-room area can be used as a unit to carry out partition cleaning, thereby reducing the cross occurrence of stains in different areas of the same room and improving the rationality of area cleaning.

In an exemplary embodiment, the cleaning instruction includes a to-be-cleaned area identifier, and the to-be-cleaned area identifier is used to identify the aforementioned room to be cleaned. According to the received cleaning instructions, determine the room to be cleaned corresponding to the cleaning equipment, including:

S31. According to the identification of the area to be cleaned included in the cleaning instruction, identify and locate the room to be cleaned included in the preset area map.

After the cleaning device receives the cleaning instruction, it can extract the identification of the area to be cleaned. Based on the identification of the area to be cleaned and the preset area map, the cleaning device can identify and locate the room to be cleaned in the preset room map. In this case, the preset area map includes room information for identifying multiple candidate rooms included in the preset area map (may include room boundaries, room identifiers of candidate rooms, room types of candidate rooms, etc.).

Correspondingly, when the target backwashing mode is backwashing by partition, the cleaning equipment cleans the partitions to be cleaned and moves to the base station for mop cleaning after cleaning each partition to be cleaned, including:

S32, the cleaning device moves to the room to be cleaned included in the area to be cleaned according to the preset area map for cleaning, and moves to the base station for mop cleaning after each area to be cleaned is cleaned.

When cleaning the area to be cleaned, the cleaning device can move to the room to be cleaned contained in the area to be cleaned according to the preset area map, and move to the base station for mop cleaning after each area to be cleaned is cleaned. For example, the room position of the room to be cleaned contained in the current zone to be cleaned can be located according to the preset area map, and the room position of the room to be cleaned is moved to, and the current cleaning is carried out from the preset point of the room to be cleaned along the preset direction. The cleaning of the partition to be cleaned. After cleaning the current partition to be cleaned, the cleaning equipment can move to the base station for mop cleaning.

If all the rooms to be cleaned belong to a partition to be cleaned, the cleaning device can determine the room to be cleaned corresponding to the next partition to be cleaned, move to the room to be cleaned contained in the next partition to be cleaned according to the preset area map, and After cleaning the next area to be cleaned, move to the base station for mop cleaning. If the part of the room to be cleaned belongs to a partition to be cleaned (that is, each sub-room area of the room to be cleaned corresponds to a partition to be cleaned), the cleaning device can move back to the current room to be cleaned after finishing the mop cleaning, and the room to be cleaned Clean the next partition to be cleaned in, and move to the base station for mop cleaning after cleaning the next partition to be cleaned.

Through this embodiment, the room to be cleaned is located and identified based on the preset area map, and the cleaning device is controlled to clean the room to be cleaned, which can improve the accuracy of room cleaning.

In an exemplary embodiment, the above method also includes:

S41. The target terminal visually displays the cleaning configuration interface to the user;
