Description

Robot for automatically cleaning and purifying pool
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a robot for automatically cleaning and purifying a pool.
Background
With the acceleration of the urbanization construction process of China, the number of parks and building squares in a city is gradually increased, and pool landscapes are common contents in the parks and the squares. In order to make the water pool rich in layers, people sometimes choose to lay a layer of cobblestones on the bottom of the water pool and then inject water.
However, after water is injected, because dust in the atmosphere is precipitated and algae and microorganisms are bred, the water quality can be obviously changed after a period of time (about one week in summer), for example, the color begins to become dark green, and a layer of scale-like particles begins to precipitate at the bottom of the pool. After a long time, a layer of thick microorganisms of green algae begin to be attached to the stones and the cobblestones, which seriously affects the landscape and even gives off peculiar smell. For this reason, the regulatory agencies have to perform manual cleaning regularly.
For a flat pool bottom, the general flow is that after drainage, a long-handle brush is directly used for cleaning, stubborn dirt is brushed up, a high-pressure water gun is used for washing, sewage is drained, and the pool bottom is washed again until the pool bottom is clean. Under the condition that cobblestones exist, the work becomes more complicated, the cobblestones need to be stirred continuously during flushing, each angle of the surfaces of the cobblestones can be ensured to be flushed, the cobblestones are pushed open to flush the bottom of the pool, and water can be injected again until the surfaces of the bottom of the pool and the cobblestones are flushed clean. The method has two major disadvantages, namely time and labor consumption and water waste. The general pond cleaning needs 2-3 people to cooperate, and the clearance is slow, and manpower cost increases greatly nowadays, is a little spending to management mechanism. In the cleaning process, the whole pool bottom and cobblestones need to be repeatedly washed by water, and the washed water cannot be recycled, so that a large amount of water resource waste is caused. Not only landscape pools, but swimming pools and other hardened flat-bottomed pools have similar problems. Under the condition that water consumption in China is increasingly tense, the phenomenon needs to be gradually optimized and avoided as much as possible.
According to the current practical situation, the cleaning method comprises the following steps:
1. manual cleaning: the manual scrubbing and washing are carried out, and when the cobbles are paved, a spade, a long-handle brush and a high-pressure water gun are required to be arranged.
2. Mechanical or robotic cleaning: currently, an underwater dust collector or an underwater dirt suction machine is available on the market, and can be cleaned under the condition of no water drainage, and most of the underwater dust collectors or the underwater dirt suction machines are operated by remote control.
The two methods have the following defects:
1. manual cleaning is the most primitive method, labor-consuming, inefficient, and water-consuming.
2. The current underwater dust collector or underwater dirt suction machine cannot be applied to the surface of a pool for laying cobblestones, does not have related cleaning function, and does not have the function of autonomous intelligent line-inspection automatic cleaning. Meanwhile, most products do not have the functions of monitoring the cleanliness of pool water and automatically notifying after the filter screen is blocked.

The vehicle body is provided with a height-adjustable bracket 82, and the UWB signal emission source 81 is arranged on the bracket 82.
The main central control module 2 is placed in a cavity 50 of the vehicle body.
The invention also comprises a no-circulation path memory algorithm based on UWB positioning, the positioning is realized by UWB positioning technology, a plurality of anchor nodes 60 are arranged on the bank to respectively position two UWB signal emission sources 81 with independent numbers of the vehicle body, and the position and the orientation of the vehicle body are calculated by combining the positions of the two UWB signal emission sources 81 (as shown in figure 2). The two UWB signal emission sources 81 are supported by a bracket 82 with adjustable height, are higher than the water surface and have equal height, so that the interference of the water body on the precision is reduced.
The "locate and go" threads of both path initialization and auto-purge work use a loop-free path memory algorithm. During initialization, the two UWB signal emission sources 81 are respectively positioned by the anchor nodes 60 arranged on the bank, and the middle point of the connecting line of the two UWB signal emission sources 81 is used as the position of the vehicle body at the moment. And then, continuously detecting and calculating the position of the vehicle body in the whole process, sampling the position into a plurality of coordinate sequences stored in sequence, and forming the running track during automatic cleaning work by the sequences. And during automatic cleaning, the real-time subtask of the vehicle body is to enable the position of the vehicle body to move to the next sampled target point along the stored motion track. After the vehicle body is adjusted to face the target point, the vehicle body automatically advances, and stops when the position of the vehicle body is coincident with the target point. And adjusting the orientation again, and repeating the operation until all the target points are passed.
The working process of the invention is as follows:
when in first use:
at this time, the vehicle body is in a factory mode. The user presses the start key of the remote controller 1 to start up after placing the vehicle body at the expected starting position of the pool, the sensor and sensing module 8 carries out self-checking, whether the arrangement of the power supply state, the filter screen state and the UWB system is finished or not is included, and the self-checking result is displayed on the display screen of the remote controller 1. After confirming that no error exists, a user presses a memory key on the remote controller 1 to send a memory mode starting command to the vehicle body, the longitudinal transportation module 4 is lifted, the vehicle body moves above the pebbles, all three modules including the longitudinal transportation module 4, the transverse transportation module 5 and the brushing module 6 do not operate, the direction key is used for manually controlling the vehicle body to move, the path covers the water pool, and the memory algorithm without the circular path based on UWB positioning is detailed. After the path is covered, the user presses the memory key again to stop the memory mode, and the vehicle body is powered off after the prompt is successful.
When in normal use:
the vehicle body is started after being placed at the initial position set in the memory mode, and when the vehicle body is started, the sensor and sensing module 8 performs self-checking including the power supply condition, the residual capacity (recorded as x1) of the filter screen, whether the UWB system can work normally and whether the vehicle body is located at the initial position set in the memory mode. After the self-checking is finished, the vehicle body is in an initial startup state, and automatic cleaning work is started if no operation is performed after 3 s. The thread of the automatic cleaning work is divided into two parts, namely 'cleaning' and 'positioning and traveling'.
The 'cleaning' thread is mainly realized by four modules, namely a longitudinal transportation module 4, a transverse transportation module 5, a brushing module 6 and a water body purification module 7. In the advancing process of the vehicle body, the longitudinal transportation module 4 transports the pebbles upwards, the pebbles are transported to the top end of the bottom plate and then fall into the gap between the first two rollers 51 in the vehicle body, the four rollers 51 continuously rotate in the same direction to turn over the pebbles, and the first brushing wheel 61 above the pebbles rapidly rotates to clean the surfaces of the pebbles. The transverse transportation module 5 pushes the pebbles to the next gap every 2 seconds until the pebbles are pushed out of the vehicle body, and the batch of pebbles is cleaned. The second brushing wheel 62 of the brushing module 6 continuously rotates under the vehicle body to brush the bottom of the pool, and the generated sewage is sucked into the water body purification module 7 and returns to the pool after being purified, so as to achieve the effect of water saving.
The "positioning and traveling" thread is mainly implemented by the sensor and sensing module 8. See the no-cyclic-path memory algorithm based on UWB positioning for details.
After cleaning is finished, the sensor and sensing module 8 detects the residual capacity (recorded as x2) of the filter screen, if x2< (x1-x2) (namely, the residual capacity is smaller than the used capacity and indicates that the next cleaning of the pool cannot be finished), a signal is sent to the remote controller 1, and a sound alarm prompts that the filter screen is replaced manually.
Or in the cleaning process, if the water quality monitoring sensors in the sensors and sensing module 8 monitor that the water quality reaches the standard, the remote controller 1 reminds the operator.
No cyclic path memory algorithm based on UWB positioning:
the positioning is realized by a UWB positioning technology, a plurality of anchor nodes are arranged on the bank to respectively position two UWB signal emission sources 81 with independent numbers of the vehicle body, and the position and the orientation of the vehicle body are calculated by combining the positions of the two UWB signal emission sources 81 (as shown in figure 2). The two UWB signal emission sources 81 are supported by adjustable supports, are higher than the water surface and have equal height, so that the interference of the water body on the precision is reduced.
The "locate and go" threads of both path initialization and auto-purge work use a loop-free path memory algorithm. During initialization, the two UWB signal emission sources 81 are respectively positioned by anchor nodes disposed on the bank, and the midpoint of the connection line of the two UWB signal emission sources 81 is used as the position of the vehicle body at the moment. And then, continuously detecting and calculating the position of the vehicle body in the whole process, sampling the position into a plurality of coordinate sequences stored in sequence, and forming the running track during automatic cleaning work by the sequences. And during automatic cleaning, the real-time subtask of the vehicle body is to enable the position of the vehicle body to move to the next sampled target point along the stored motion track. After the vehicle body is adjusted to face the target point, the vehicle body automatically advances, and stops when the position of the vehicle body is coincident with the target point. And adjusting the orientation again, and repeating the operation until all the target points are passed.
The functional design and interface of the remote control 1 is shown in fig. 6, and includes:
power key: power on/off/suspend operation. The power-on is pressed in the power-off state, the power-on is suspended/continued to work in the automatic mode, and the power-off is pressed in other cases.
Memory key: switching to a memory mode. When the memory module is used for the first time, the memory module is pressed down, the longitudinal transportation module 4 is lifted, the vehicle body is controlled by the direction key to set a route, and the memory module is detailed in a non-cyclic path memory algorithm based on UWB positioning.
Manual keys and direction keys: the manual mode controls the area. The manual mode is entered by pressing the manual key, and the direction key is moved and can only be used in the manual mode and the memory mode.
A reset key: stop working and automatically land/reset as a whole. And inquiring whether to confirm to stop working after short pressing, canceling resetting after no operation for 3s, lifting the longitudinal transportation module 4 if pressing again within 3s, and automatically returning the vehicle body to the starting position and to the state after starting. And inquiring whether to reset completely or not by continuously pressing 5s, canceling the reset after no operation is carried out for 3s, and completely resetting the vehicle body and deleting the memorized route if the vehicle body is pressed again within 3 s.
The display screen below: a status information display area. And displaying various vehicle body data including electric quantity, filter screen service conditions, current operation mode and working state, cleaning progress and real-time water quality cleanliness.
Built-in sound equipment: and sending out an alarm sound, and giving an alarm sound when the electric quantity is too low or the residual capacity of the filter screen is too low.
The simple use method comprises the following steps: after the computer is started for the first time, the memory key is pressed to start setting a route, and the memory is pressed again to finish the memory. The power key is pressed to wait for 3 seconds to start working at the initial position set by the memory mode.
In summary, the present invention has the following functions:
1. the comprehensive pebble cleaning function and the pool bottom cleaning function are realized by the cooperation of the roller 51 and the first brushing wheel 62.
