Description

The dirty dirt method for detecting of self-propelled cleaning equipment and device
[technical field]
Present invention is directed to a kind of self-propelled cleaning equipment, espespecially a kind of use is at the dirty dirt method for detecting and the device that carry out the self-propelled cleaning equipment of cleaning with independence displacement.
[prior art]
Because modern works busy, for family matters, cleaning more feels it is the time-consuming work again of an effort, for solving such problem, there is on the market the product of so-called self-propelled cleaning equipment, control by artificial intelligence, automatically cleaning and dedusting back and forth on the ground, reaches the convenience without manual operation.
Commonly use self-propelled cleaning equipment and all can dust-collecting box be set to collect dirty dirt at internal body, except toppling over the opening that dirty dirt uses, this dust-collecting box is separately provided with two openings, one opening links the dirty dirt suction inlet that dirty dirt runner leads to organism bottom, another opening is connected with negative pressure device, makes the dirty dirt suction inlet being communicated with dust-collecting box produce suction, in order to promote its cleaning effect, part can arrange main brush or in body both sides, side brush is set at the dirty dirt suction inlet of body place, coordinate the movement of self-propelled cleaning equipment, side brush meeting is dialled and is swept main brush or the dirty dirt outside the dirty dirt suction inlet on ground on mobile route, seeing through main brush or dirty dirt suction inlet sucks dirty dirt be stored in the dust-collecting box in body again, but be arranged at internal body owing to commonly using the dust-collecting box system of self-propelled cleaning equipment, therefore user cannot be directly with the dirty dirt collecting amount in the current dust-collecting box of the instant judgement of naked eyes, cause user through after a period of time, just must remove to check the collecting amount of the dirty dirt of internal body dust-collecting box, just can guarantee the effective operation that this self-propelled cleaning equipment can continue, so design needs user constantly initiatively to remove to check dust-collecting box, after cannot waiting until passively the dust-full box of dirt of dust-collecting box, go again cleaning, quite not convenient for user, if and self-propelled cleaning equipment moves to the environmental cleanup of a certain how dirty especially dirt, cause the quick-fried increasing of the dirty dirt collecting amount of dust-collecting box in the short time, under the situation that user also not yet finds, excessive dirty dirt causes negative pressure device certainly will improve its running power in dust-collecting box, cause the unnecessary consumption of electric energy, dirty dirt also may overflow from dust-collecting box along dirty dirt runner, along with the movement of self-propelled cleaning equipment is scattered everywhere, ground after clean is formed to secondary pollution, therefore then there is the design that infrared inductor is set at dirty dirt runner, see through infrared ray and respond to dirty dirt, it mainly ties up to dirty dirt runner both sides one relative infrared signal element is set, one is used for launching infrared ray, another is used for responding to infrared ray, and on infrared signal element, translucent element is set, performance protective effect and not overslaugh Infrared emitting and receiving, when dirty dirt runner has dirty dirt to enter, the interelement infrared induction of two infrared signals is disturbed and weakens, increase along with dirty dust quantity, the received infrared signal of sensing element successively decreases, see through the power of calculating infrared signal, one can judge the dirty dust quantity that dust-collecting box has been collected, two can judge the dirty dust quantity of current cleaning environment.
[summary of the invention]
Because self-propelled cleaning equipment is mainly carry out dirty dirt clean, therefore adhere to unavoidably dirty dirt on translucent element, dirty dirt on it is accumulate to when a certain amount of, the induction of infrared signal will be affected, make completely box or at the environmental cleanup of a how dirty especially dirt of self-propelled cleaning equipment erroneous judgement dust-collecting box, and then carry out incorrect control; And infrared ray is subject to the impact of ambient light, stability is not enough; On the other hand, the long-time lasting transmitting of infrared ray also produces many consumption to electric energy with reception.
Whence is that object of the present invention, the dirty dirt method for detecting of self-propelled cleaning equipment that provides a kind of dirt of not getting dirty to affect is provided.
Another object of the present invention, the dirty dirt arrangement for detecting of self-propelled cleaning equipment that provides a kind of dirt of not getting dirty to affect is provided.
The dirty dirt method for detecting of self-propelled cleaning equipment according to the object of the invention, comprising: with a capacitor sensing unit, being located at self-propelled cleaning equipment body can be for dust by sensing area therebetween; Make this capacitor sensing unit electrically connect one control module, utilize the capacitance of capacitor sensing unit sensing body sensing area, control module is compared the capacitance of sensing area and a predetermined capacitance, and export a control signal.
The dirty dirt arrangement for detecting of self-propelled cleaning equipment according to another object of the present invention, comprising: a sensing area, to be located on the body of self-propelled cleaning equipment, and it is the space that can pass through for dirty dirt; One capacitor sensing unit, is located at this sensing area in order to the capacitance of this sensing area of sensing; One control module, with this capacitor sensing unit electrically connect, in order to capacitance and a predetermined capacitance of this sensing area relatively and export a control signal.
The method of the embodiment of the present invention and device, the sensing element be arrangeding in parallel by capacitor sensing unit two carries out the dielectric coefficient between the two that sensing changes along with the increase and decrease of dirty dust quantity, make capacitor sensing unit sense different capacitances, and via control module, the capacitance recording and a predetermined capacitance are compared, can learn the number of the current dirty dirt collecting amount of dust-collecting mechanism on the one hand, also can judge on the other hand the number of the dirty dust quantity of current cleaning environment, and capacitor sensing unit is different from infrared induction, can not affect its capacitance because dirty dirt is attached to a surface, also relative energy-conservation and be not subject to the impact of ambient light.
