Detailed Description
So that the manner in which the features and aspects of the embodiments of the present invention can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the embodiments of the invention, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to the embodiments, some of which are illustrated in the appended drawings.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling a state, as shown in fig. 1, where fig. 1 is a flowchart of the method for controlling a state according to the embodiment of the present invention.
S101, determining a first area to be entered based on the cleaning path.
Specifically, the first area is an area to be entered and cleaned by the cleaning robot.
The sweeping robot is generally preset with a sweeping path, for example, the sweeping robot is preset to sweep the environment according to a 'U' -shaped path, then, when the sweeping robot is placed at any position, the sweeping robot is defaulted to be the right ahead where the sweeping robot can recognize according to the 'U' -shaped path, the sweeping robot travels and sweeps along the 'U' -shaped path, and at the moment, the sweeping robot can determine that the sweeping area to be entered is the first area. That is, even if the sweeping robot is placed beside the carpet area, the sweeping robot will not determine that the carpet area is the first area as long as the carpet area is not directly in front of the sweeping robot.
It will be appreciated that the zone type may be represented by the type of material or material of the ground in the zone, or alternatively, the zone type may be represented by an identification of the zone type.
Further, if the area type is represented by the area type identifier, the different area type identifiers may correspond to different types of materials or materials on the ground of the area, and this correspondence may be default or may be preset.
The sweeping robot is preset with an area type and sweeping state corresponding table, after the area type of the first area is determined, the sweeping robot searches the area type and sweeping state corresponding table, finds the corresponding sweeping state, and determines that the sweeping state is the sweeping state suitable for the first area.
The state control method further includes: identifying the region type of a first region to be entered; the method for identifying the area type of the first area to be entered comprises at least one of the following steps:
identifying a region type of the first region based on a virtual wall signal;
identifying a region type for the first region based on a vision sensor;
identifying an area type of the first area based on a capacitive proximity sensor.
After determining a first area to be entered, the sweeping robot identifies the area type of the first area by virtue of the sweeping robot, and determines a corresponding sweeping mode according to the area type of the first area.
The embodiment of the invention identifies the first area by at least one of the above manners. It is noted that the way in which the sweeping robot identifies the area type of the first area to be accessed includes, but is not limited to, all of the ways described above. The person skilled in the art can set the identification mode according to the actual situation.
The following describes the manner of identifying the area type of the first area to be entered:
the identifying the area type of the first area based on the virtual wall signal includes: identifying a first virtual wall signal, determining a region type corresponding to the first virtual wall signal based on a first corresponding relation, and taking the determined region type as the region type of the first region; the first corresponding relation comprises corresponding relations between different virtual wall signals and different area types.
In the embodiment of the invention, the special area is surrounded by the virtual wall, and if one side or two sides or three sides of the special area are surrounded by the wall, the virtual wall only needs to surround three sides or two sides or one side of the special area correspondingly. The specific area is relatively speaking, which means that the material used for the ground of the area is different from that of other areas.
In order to enable the sweeping robot to identify special areas with different ground materials, different virtual walls are used for surrounding different areas, specifically, one virtual wall is used for surrounding the periphery of a carpet for a carpet area, the other virtual wall is used for surrounding the periphery of a floor for a wooden floor, and the like; meanwhile, in order to scan the virtual wall, the sweeping robot in the embodiment of the invention is provided with a scanning device.
In addition, in order to distinguish different virtual walls, the embodiment of the present invention sets different labels on the virtual walls, specifically: the light absorbing areas and the light reflecting areas are arranged on the virtual wall, as shown in fig. 2, wherein the size of each light absorbing area and each light reflecting area may be equal or different, and the areas are arranged at regular intervals, and here, the size of each light absorbing area and each light reflecting area is taken as an example. It is only necessary that the width of each light absorption region and each light reflection region is L and the height is not more than the height of the virtual wall. The light absorption areas and the light reflection areas of the virtual wall may be sequentially arranged at intervals in a 2:1 arrangement manner, as shown in fig. 3, or may be arranged in a 3:2 arrangement manner, and the arrangement manner of the light absorption areas and the light reflection areas is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. When laying a virtual wall, a user can surround the carpet with a virtual wall provided with light absorption areas and light reflection areas in a 2:1 arrangement mode, as shown in fig. 4, then a sweeping robot is used for emitting light to the virtual wall in the arrangement mode, due to the arrangement mode of the light absorption areas and the light reflection areas, a virtual wall signal corresponding to the arrangement mode is generated for the absorption and reflection of the light, and the virtual wall signal generated by the virtual wall is recorded. The user can surround another special area with another virtual wall in the same way and record a virtual wall signal generated by such virtual wall. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a label structure of a virtual wall according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an arrangement structure of tags disposed on a virtual wall according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 4 is a schematic view of a virtual wall structure surrounding a carpet area according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Therefore, the virtual wall is firstly used to surround the special area, and then the sweeping robot scans the virtual wall to record the virtual wall signals generated by the virtual wall, so that the flexibility of the sweeping robot for identifying different areas is increased, more actual operability is brought to the arrangement of different indoor areas for a user, and the user experience is improved.
After the floor sweeping robot records various virtual wall signals, a user can set a first corresponding relation through the floor sweeping robot APP, wherein corresponding relations between different virtual wall signals and various region types can be set.
For example, the first virtual wall signal corresponds to porcelain or stone, the second virtual wall signal corresponds to wood, the third virtual wall signal corresponds to cotton, and so on. It can be understood that if the user does not regard a certain area as a special area and uses a virtual wall to enclose the area, the sweeping robot cannot recognize the particularity of the floor of the area, and uses the same sweeping state as that of the previous area to sweep the area.
Specifically, the first corresponding relationship may be a corresponding relationship as shown in table 1, where the area type may be a material or a material used by the area or an identifier of the area type, and in an example, the first corresponding relationship is described with reference to table 1 by taking the material as an example:
porcelain or stone Wood material Cotton material
First virtual wall signal Second virtual wall signal Third virtual wall signal
TABLE 1 first correspondence
After the scanning function is turned on, the sweeping robot can identify the virtual wall signal surrounding the special area, then search the area type corresponding to the virtual wall signal in the first corresponding relation, and take the searched area type as the area type of the first area.
Acquiring an image corresponding to at least part of the first area through the vision sensor, searching an area image matched with the image corresponding to the at least part of the first area in a second corresponding relation, determining an area type corresponding to the area image matched with the image corresponding to the at least part of the first area based on the second corresponding relation, and taking the searched area type as the area type of the first area;
and the second corresponding relation comprises corresponding relations between different region images and different region types.
According to the embodiment of the invention, after the sweeping robot is initialized, all the floor areas needing to be swept in the whole room are subjected to image acquisition, and the acquired images are classified. For example, the collected carpet image is used as a type of area image, the collected wood floor image is used as another type of area image, the collected tile image is used as a type of area image, and then the classified area images are respectively corresponding to the area types and stored in the second corresponding relation. The embodiment of the invention includes, but is not limited to, adopting the image acquisition and classification mode to make the image of each region correspond to the region type.
The second corresponding relationship may be the corresponding relationship shown in table 2, where the region type may be a material or a material used by the region or an identifier of the region type, and in an example, the second corresponding relationship is described with reference to table 2 by taking the material as an example. Specifically, the first area type is porcelain or stone and corresponds to images of the floors of a kitchen, a balcony and a toilet, the second area type is wood and corresponds to images of the floors of a living room and a dining room, and the third area type is cotton and corresponds to images of the floors of a carpet area. At least one image in each type of area image.

TABLE 2 second correspondences
Further, a vision sensor is arranged on the sweeping robot, when the sweeping robot determines a first area to which the sweeping robot enters, an image corresponding to at least part of the first area is acquired through the vision sensor, then an area image corresponding to the image acquired by the sweeping robot at this time is searched in a second corresponding relation, an area type corresponding to the area image is determined through the area image, so that the area type corresponding to the image acquired by the sweeping robot at least part of the area is determined, and the searched area type is used as the area type of the first area.
The identifying the area type of the first area based on a capacitive proximity sensor comprises: detecting an electric signal value corresponding to the ground material in the first area through the capacitive proximity sensor, determining an area type corresponding to an electric signal interval in which the electric signal value corresponding to the ground material in the first area is located based on a third corresponding relation, and taking the found area type as the area type of the first area;
and the third corresponding relation comprises corresponding relations between different electric signal intervals and different region types. The embodiment of the invention can also be provided with the capacitive proximity sensor which can output different electric signal values when approaching media of different materials, so that when approaching the first area, the sweeping robot can also generate and output an electric signal value aiming at the first area, the sweeping robot firstly judges which electric signal interval the electric signal value belongs to, and then searches the area type corresponding to the electric signal interval based on the third corresponding relation, namely, searches the material type corresponding to the electric signal, and takes the searched area type as the area type of the first area.
The third corresponding relationship may be the corresponding relationship shown in table 3, where the region type may be a material or a material used by the region or a region type identifier, and in an example, refer to table 3 by taking the material as an example. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: the electric signal interval 1 is [ a1, a2] corresponding to porcelain or stone, the electric signal interval 2 is [ b1, b2] corresponding to wood, and the electric signal interval 3 is [ c1, c2] corresponding to cotton. And after the capacitive proximity sensor detects the first area, outputting an electric signal value a, and judging that the value is between [ a1, a2], wherein the type of the area detected by the capacitive proximity sensor can be determined to be porcelain or stone through the third corresponding relation.

S102, entering the first area, and cleaning in the first area by adopting a first cleaning state corresponding to the area type of the first area.
After the sweeping robot identifies the area type of the first area, the sweeping robot enters the first area and adopts a first sweeping state matched with the first area to sweep the first area.
It should be noted that, when S101 is executed, if the area where the sweeping robot is located is taken as the second area, the sweeping robot may adopt the second cleaning state in the second area;
when the cleaning method is executed in S102, if the second cleaning state is different from the first cleaning state, after the cleaning robot enters the first area, the second cleaning mode needs to be switched to the first cleaning state corresponding to the area type of the first area, and then the cleaning robot performs cleaning in the first area in the first cleaning state.
Alternatively, if the second cleaning state is the same as the first cleaning state, it can be understood that the sweeping robot enters the first area to perform cleaning in the first area while maintaining the current cleaning state.
For example, when the sweeping robot recognizes that the area type of the first area is cotton, a sweeping mode for the cotton is required to sweep the area, the sweeping mode needs to be a large suction force, otherwise, dust on the carpet cannot be sucked out, and a waterless sweeping mode is required, otherwise, the carpet is wetted; when the sweeping robot recognizes that the area type of the first area is wood, a cleaning mode aiming at the wood is needed to clean the area, and the suction force in the cleaning mode cannot be too large, otherwise, the material of the floor is easily damaged.
In addition, in another example different from the foregoing embodiment, the sweeping robot may determine the sweeping state in the first area and perform sweeping in another manner, specifically:
identifying relevant information of the environment based on the laser radar, and sending the relevant information to the terminal equipment; and the relevant information of the environment identified by the laser radar is used for the terminal equipment to draw a map corresponding to the environment.
Namely, the sweeping robot can be provided with the laser radar, when the sweeping robot is used for the first time, the sweeping robot identifies the environment where the sweeping robot is located through the laser radar to obtain information related to the environment; then, the sweeping robot sends the relevant information identified by the laser radar to the APP installed on the terminal equipment, and the APP can accurately draw a map of the environment where the sweeping robot is located according to the received relevant information and store the map on the terminal equipment.
Then, before executing S101 and S102, the state control method may further include:
receiving an instruction sent by the terminal equipment; wherein the instructions include: a cleaning path, different zones included in the cleaning path, and cleaning states adapted to the zone types to be adopted in the different zones.
Accordingly, the aforementioned S101 and S102, that is, the determining a first area to enter based on the cleaning path, entering the first area, and performing cleaning in the first cleaning state corresponding to the area type of the first area, may specifically include:
determining a cleaning path based on the instruction, and determining a first area to enter based on the current position and the instruction; determining a first cleaning state matched with the area type to be adopted for entering the first area based on the instruction;
entering the first area, and performing sweeping based on the determined first sweeping state.
In particular, the method comprises the following steps of,
because the environment map can be established on the terminal device APP in advance, different regions and corresponding region types in the environment map can be preset in the APP of the terminal device.
During the cleaning operation, a cleaning path of the cleaning robot is determined on the terminal device APP, at least one passing area in the cleaning path can be determined, the area types of different areas can be determined, and then the cleaning states corresponding to different area types are determined;
then, the terminal device APP may generate a corresponding instruction for the cleaning, and the specific included content is as described above and is not described again.
Regarding the aforementioned different regions and their corresponding region types, on the terminal device side, the following may be: information of position coordinate intervals corresponding to at least one region for each region type, for example, the position intervals corresponding to region type 1 are (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3), (x4, y4), and the position intervals corresponding to region type 3 are (x5, y5), (x6, y 6); correspondingly, the type 1 of the area corresponding to the first area is porcelain or stone, the type of the second area is wood, and the type of the third area is cotton and the like. See, for example, table 4.
Porcelain or stone Wood material Cotton material
(x1,y1),(x2,y2) (x3,y3),(x4,y4) (x5,y5),(x6,y6)
TABLE 4 fourth correspondences
When an operator of the terminal equipment, namely a user, wants to enable the sweeping robot to sweep a certain room (or several rooms), the operator can determine that the room comprises several areas, determine the type of each area and the corresponding sweeping state, and then generate an instruction to be sent to the sweeping robot;
the sweeping robot can determine the current area according to the received instruction and by combining the current position of the sweeping robot, and further determine the corresponding sweeping state by combining the instruction; and entering a current area, and sweeping the current area based on the determined first sweeping state.
According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the sweeping robot can sweep the first area by adopting the sweeping mode which is adaptive to the first area to be entered, so that the damage to the ground of the area caused by the sweeping robot sweeping the area by adopting the sweeping mode which is not adaptive to the area to be swept is avoided, the intelligent degree of the sweeping robot is improved, and the user experience is improved.
