Specific embodiment
In order to keep technical characterstic and effect of the invention more obvious, technical solution of the present invention is done with reference to the accompanying drawing It further illustrates, the specific example that the present invention can also have other different is illustrated or implements, anyone skilled in the art The equivalents done within the scope of the claims belong to protection category of the invention.
In the description of this specification, reference term " embodiment ", " specific embodiment ", " such as " or " some realities Apply example " etc. description mean that particular features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with this embodiment or example are contained in this hair In at least one bright embodiment or example.In the present specification, schematic expression of the above terms are not necessarily referring to phase Same embodiment or example.Moreover, particular features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be in any one or more It can be combined in any suitable manner in embodiment or example.The step of involved in each embodiment, sequentially is used to schematically illustrate of the invention Implement, sequence of steps therein is not construed as limiting, can appropriately adjust as needed.
As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is the flow charts of the clean method of the clean robot of the embodiment of the present invention.The present embodiment is suitable In the case where without initial map, by dividing virtual region in real work region, and clean robot is controlled to void Clean method is carried out inside quasi- region, realizes the high-efficiency cleaning to zone of ignorance.Specifically, including:
Step S100, sets virtual region, and clean robot is located inside the virtual region or on boundary;
Step S200, control clean robot clean the virtual region inside real work region.
In one embodiment of the invention, the virtual region in above-mentioned steps S100 is by pre-set, control clean robot The instruction of move distance and rotational angle is set, the operation rail that these instructions run clean robot in real work region The enclosure space that mark surrounds constitutes virtual region.Controlling the instruction of clean robot move distance and rotational angle such as can be with Are as follows: 1) using clean robot current location as initial position, control clean robot runs the first preset length along when front direction (can be obtained by the odometer measurement on clean robot), such as a point in Fig. 2A to b point;2) default turn to is turned to (to preset and turn To both including rotation direction or including rotational angle, in this case, it is rotated counterclockwise on the basis of front direction by clean robot 90°);3) the second preset length is run along when front direction, such as the b point in Fig. 2A to c point;4) default turn to (in this example is turned to It is still to rotate counterclockwise 90 °);5) the first preset length is run along when front direction, such as the c point in Fig. 2A to d point;6) it turns to default It turns to (ibid);7) continue to return to initial position along when front direction runs the second preset length, such as the d point in Fig. 2A to a point.By Fig. 2A as it can be seen that the enclosure space that surrounds of the running track that described instruction runs clean robot in real work region (i.e. Rectangle abcd) constitute the virtual region.The present invention to the first preset length and the second preset length without limitation, can be according to need It asks and is set.Default steering both can be left-hand rotation, or turn right, every time including rotation direction or including rotational angle The angle of steering can be set as needed, and the present invention is not construed as limiting this.When the first preset length is 2m, the second preset length The finger of control clean robot move distance and rotational angle is executed when default steering is left-hand rotation, steering angle is 90 ° for 1m So that the enclosure space arrived is as shown in Figure 2 A.
When implementation, it is contemplated that the influence of barrier, in the instruction of control clean robot move distance and rotational angle The operation logic for encountering barrier is added, such as encounters barrier, as shown in Figure 2 B, then controls cleaner after encountering barrier Device people turns to default steering (being to turn 90 ° counterclockwise in this example) and operation (can be abutting barrier along the barrier edge Edge can also keep constant distance or a certain range of distance with barrier edge;Refer in this example clean robot from C1 point arrives the running track of c3 point to c2 point again), it calculates encountering barrier along the track that the barrier edge is run in real time The projected length worked as on front direction (i.e. from b point to the direction of c1 point) before (is equal to c2 point to line c3 point in this example The length of section) with described work as front direction (being still from b point to the direction of c1 point) running length (i.e. b point to line segment c1 point Length) the sum of (i.e. the sum of line segment length of b point to c1 point and c2 point to c3 point length), when the calculated value described greater than working as (referring to the length of the b point in Fig. 2A to line segment between c point) when pre-determined distance in front direction, then no longer along barrier after reforwarding Row, then the instruction for continuing to execute control clean robot move distance and rotational angle (performs similarly to figure in this example To the instruction of c point, i.e., control clean robot is turned to preset from c3 point to d point and be turned to b point, and is moved from c3 point to d point in 2A Instruction).
Further, as shown in Figure 3A, in above-mentioned steps S200 control clean robot to real work region inside Virtual region carries out cleaning
Step S210, the instruction for executing the control clean robot move distance and rotational angle obtain enclosure space, Boundary of the boundary visualization of enclosure space as virtual region.The process executed instruction is no longer superfluous herein referring to a upper embodiment State, the present invention to instruction setting enclosure space shape without limitation.
Step S220, to being cleaned inside the enclosure space.
In one embodiment of the invention, the virtual region in above-mentioned steps S100 is determined by predeterminable area and preset ratio.
Wherein, by user, in display, (display can be set on clean robot predeterminable area, also can be set On mobile terminal) on set, the predeterminable area on display is corresponding with the virtual region in real work region, corresponding relationship Preset ratio, which can be calculated, (can be understood as the expansion for the virtual region that the predeterminable area on display is expanded in real work region Big multiple).The label for representing clean robot can be shown in predeterminable area on display, can not also show that the representative is clear The label of clean robot, in the latter case, can default clean robot the center of predeterminable area or some fixed point or Some specific position (such as midpoint on certain boundary).In some specific real modes, the setting means of predeterminable area is as follows:
User by picture frame over the display (including select preset shape over the display and it pulled, is amplified, The operation such as reduce) form set the predeterminable area;And/or
User is by way of the length of input virtual region, width, or the length or width and length of input virtual region The mode of degree and the ratio of width sets the predeterminable area, and corresponding preset ratio is 1;And/or
User sets the predeterminable area by way of input coordinate range, and specifically, coordinate range is opposite sits Mark, i.e., over the display relative to the display relative coordinate of clean robot, or relative to clean robot in virtual region Relative coordinate.Under above situation, obtained in virtual region relatively by the display relative coordinate on display multiplied by preset ratio In the relative coordinate of clean robot.
Preset ratio both can rule of thumb be preset by program, can also be (practical by room in initial phase by user Working region) longest and the input of the widest part size, by algorithm by the maximum possible size meter of the size of mobile telephone display and room Calculation obtains a proper ratio, and the present invention specifically sets form without limitation to it.For example set display and real work area The preset ratio in domain is 1:100, and mobile telephone display size is 12cm × 7cm, and corresponding real work region area is 6m × 6m, The 1m for representing real work region by 1cm on mobile telephone display, 6cm × 6cm virtual region on mobile phone represent practical work Make the range of the 6m × 6m in region.
Further, as shown in Figure 3B, in the case where determining virtual region by predeterminable area and preset ratio, virtual region It is preset with clean robot current Ubiety, for example clean robot is at the center of predeterminable area or some is pinpointed or certain A specific position (such as midpoint on certain boundary), above-mentioned steps S200 control clean robot to real work region inside Virtual region carry out clean process and include:
Step S210 ', control clean robot are run along when front direction to the point of interface on the boundary with virtual region.Its In, virtual region boundary is that the boundary of virtual region surrounding is deserved front direction and worked as clean robot as shown in Fig. 4 A dotted line frame Preceding locating direction, as shown in the initial position arrow in Fig. 4 A, point of interface is as shown in the A point in Fig. 4 A.
When implementation, as shown in Figure 4 B, if operation encounters barrier into virtual region boundary process, cleaner is controlled Device people runs in virtual region along the edge of barrier;If encountering new barrier along the edge operational process of barrier, Clean robot is then controlled to run in virtual region along the edge of new barrier;If being examined along barrier edge operational process The point of interface for measuring the boundary that clean robot is run to barrier edge and virtual region, thens follow the steps S220 ';If encountering Never encounter barrier after barrier again within certain continuous time, then it is assumed that obstacle is moved, and step is executed S210’。
Step S220 ', control clean robot is from the point of interface (the A point in Fig. 4 B) along the bounded around the void Quasi- area operation, until returning to the point of interface (as shown in Figure 4 C), the enclosure space that the running track of clean robot surrounds The virtual region is constituted, the boundary of enclosure space is exactly the boundary of virtual region;
Step S230 ', to being cleaned inside the enclosure space.
In above-mentioned steps S220 ', if clean robot encounters barrier when running along the bounded around the virtual region Hinder object (for example perceived after colliding by crash sensor, or by distance measuring sensor robot measurement and front obstacle away from From less than certain threshold value), it controls clean robot and is run in virtual region along the edge of the barrier.If encountering obstacle Never encounter barrier after object again within certain continuous time, then it is assumed that encountering dynamic disorder, (such as barrier is moved It is dynamic, as shown in Figure 4 D), since range detection sensor is close, robot can only determine that surrounding barrier is moved at this time , but can not determine that its center of current distance is more than that (such as 30cm, clean robot radius is usually not more than for predetermined threshold Environment 15cm), for this kind of situation, meeting return step S210 ' to find nearest virtual region boundary again, but can also Using point of interface before as end position (as shown in Figure 4 E).
In one embodiment of the invention, enclosure space inside is cleaned using bow font cleaning mode, as shown in figure 5, Include:
S510: control clean robot is run along the first cleaning direction to the boundary with virtual region inside virtual region Or cleaned the boundary in region and met, specifically, operation can be understood as clean robot to meeting with virtual region boundary The boundary of virtual region will be reached, is such as separated by a certain distance with virtual region boundary.
When implementation, the first cleaning direction can be depending on the direction on boundary where clean robot current location, this hair It is bright that this is not especially limited.Before step S510 is executed, also controllable clean robot runs into virtual region either boundary One end, it is preferred that control clean robot run to the most proximal end apart from the nearest boundary in clean robot current location.
S520: control clean robot is diverted to the first offset identical with the boundary direction to meet to first Direction continues to run the first deflected length, and it is clear to be diverted to second parallel and opposite with the first cleaning direction to first Clean direction.
Preferably, the first steering and the second steering are all both including rotation direction or including rotational angle.First steering can Think left-hand rotation, or turn right, specific steering direction and steering angle are preset by program or according to virtual region Distribution character determines.First deflected length is the throwing along first offset direction running track on the first cleaning direction vertical line Shadow length.Preferably, the first deflected length and the second deflected length it is general based on brush width, preferably 10cm to 15cm, in this way Clean robot can be enable to avoid omitting not clean region when adjacent cleaning direction cleans in cleaning process.
S530: control clean robot is run along the second cleaning direction to the boundary with virtual region inside virtual region Or it cleans the boundary in region and has met.
S540: control clean robot is diverted to the second offset identical with the boundary direction to meet to second Direction continues to run the second deflected length, is diverted to first cleaning direction to second.
Preferably, it second turns to the first steering on the contrary, the first offset direction and the second offset direction can be identical, it can also With difference, but the direction of the first offset direction and the second offset direction on cleaning direction vertical line is identical.First deflected length Identical as the second deflected length, the first deflected length is to clean on the vertical line of direction along the first offset direction running track first Projected length, the second deflected length are long along projection of second offset direction running track on the second cleaning direction vertical line Degree.
S550: repeating step S510 to S540, until the track of sweeping robot traverses transporting in the virtual region Row region.
If clean robot encounters barrier when running in virtual region along current cleaning direction, cleaning machine is controlled People runs along the edge of the barrier, calculates track the hanging down in currently cleaning direction run along the barrier edge in real time Projected length on line, when the projected length is equal to third deflected length, control clean robot is diverted to and currently cleans Contrary cleaning direction continues to run, and when the projected length is equal to 0, control clean robot is diverted to current cleaning direction It continues to run.It should be noted that in the present invention, current direction of cleaning is the first cleaning direction or the second cleaning direction.Clearly Direction of clean robot when along barrier border movement is not the first cleaning direction, the second cleaning direction or current cleaning side To.
Those skilled in the art also can be used other modes and clean to enclosure space inside, and the present invention is to enclosure space Internal specific cleaning process is without limitation.
