Detailed Description
To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings.
At present, sweeping and mopping integration and automatic dust collection are development directions of intelligent sweeping robots. The sweeping and mopping integration can save the trouble of mopping the floor for the user, save a large amount of time for the user, and the automatic dust collection function further lightens the daily cleaning burden. The combination of sweeping and mopping as a whole and automatic dust collection saves a great deal of time for users, and achieves the purpose of really liberating hands.
In order to enable the sweeping robot to continuously run for a long time, a base station is additionally arranged and used for adding water, charging, collecting dust, cleaning mops and the like to the sweeping robot. After working for a period of time, the sweeping robot is in butt joint with the base station, and the base station starts a dust collecting function so as to empty dust and other garbage in a dust box of the sweeping robot.
However, the combination of the sweeping and mopping body and the automatic dust collection brings about the following scenarios: when the floor is mopped, part of dust can be wetted, and the wetted dust is sucked into the dust box by the rolling brush of the sweeping robot. Or, the sweeping robot is likely to sweep a wet area during working, so that garbage with moisture is collected and stored in the dust box. After the sweeping robot is in butt joint with the base station, a dust collecting port of the sweeping robot is communicated with a dust collecting port of the base station through a dust collecting channel, and a fan assembly of the base station rotates to generate air flow so as to suck away dust and other garbage in the dust box.
However, since the dust in the dust box contains moisture, the base station can suck the moisture-containing dust during dust collection, and the dust to be ash can easily block the dust suction opening of the base station, so that the dust suction pressure is increased and the dust collection is difficult. The problems that a fan assembly of a base station is damaged due to high-load work, a dust collection channel is blocked and dust collection is difficult to achieve and the like are easily caused for a long time. In addition, moisture is mixed with dust in a dust box of the sweeping robot, and part of the dust can be adhered to the dust box and is difficult to suck away by a base station.
Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a dust collecting method, apparatus, device and readable storage medium, which improve the convenience of the cleaning robot by automatically collecting dust, and simultaneously avoid blocking the dust collecting channel of the base station by drying the garbage in the dust box of the cleaning robot.

Fig. 4 is a flow chart of a dust collecting method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The present embodiment is explained from the perspective of a cleaning robot, and the present embodiment includes:
401. and controlling the cleaning robot to stop at a base station.
In the embodiment of the application, the base station is provided with the infrared transmitter and the like, and can emit infrared beams of 360 degrees in all directions at a long distance outwards to guide the cleaning robot to approach the base station from a distance. In addition, the base station can also emit short-distance and small-angle infrared beams to guide the cleaning robot moving to the base station to accurately stop at the base station in a fixed posture. Wherein, the fixed posture means: the parking position of the cleaning robot relative to the base station is the same every time, and the parking position is the optimal position for charging, cleaning and rolling the brush and drying the rag of the cleaning robot. And after the cleaning robot stops at the optimal position, determining the humidity of the dust box, and determining whether to send a starting instruction according to the humidity of the dust box.
When the dust and other garbage in the dust box of the cleaning robot are more, controlling the cleaning robot to stop at the base station; or when the cleaning robot needs to add water and charge, the cleaning robot is controlled to stop at the base station.
402. And sending a starting instruction to a base station, wherein the starting instruction is used for indicating a drying part of the base station to heat air to obtain hot air.
The cleaning robot is parked on the base station, which is also called the cleaning robot is docked with the base station. After the cleaning robot is parked on the base station, a start instruction is sent to the base station to instruct the base station to start the drying section. The drying part generates heat in the working process and transfers the heat to the surrounding air so as to form hot air.
403. The fan assembly of the cleaning robot is started to enable the hot air to form hot air flow, and the hot air flow enters the dust box from the dust inlet of the dust box of the cleaning robot and is blown out from the filter screen of the dust box.
In the embodiment of the application, the fan assembly of the cleaning robot is used for collecting dust in the cleaning process and extracting hot air generated by the drying part of the base station to form hot air flow after the cleaning robot stops on the base station.
Referring to fig. 3, the dust box is provided with a dust inlet and a filter screen. In the drying process, hot air flow enters a dust inlet of a dust box of the self-cleaning robot and is blown out of a filter screen of the dust box. Because the hot air flow has high temperature and high speed, the hot air flow can take away the moisture in the garbage when passing through the dust box.
The cleaning robot sweeps the floor in-process, and cleaning robot's fan subassembly work produces suction and inhales rubbish from advancing the dirt mouth and inhaling the dirt box, because the isolation of filter screen, the in-process of circulation of air, the dust is held by the filter screen, and the filter screen is passed to relatively clean air.
404. The fan assembly is turned off.
For example, when the garbage in the dust box is dried, the cleaning robot turns off the fan assembly and does not deliver hot air to the dust box.
405. And sending a dust collection instruction to the base station, wherein the dust collection instruction is used for instructing the base station to clean dust in the dust box.
Illustratively, the cleaning robot sends a dust collection instruction to the base station instructing the base station to clean the dust box. After the base station receives the dust collection instruction, the drying part is closed and the fan assembly on the base station is started, the fan assembly on the base station works to generate dust collection airflow, and the dust collection airflow brings garbage to a dust collection part of the base station from a dust collection port of the dust box.
According to the dust collection method provided by the embodiment of the application, after the cleaning robot stops at the base station, the cleaning robot sends a starting instruction to the base station to start the drying part of the base station, and hot air is generated after the drying part is started. The fan assembly of the cleaning robot extracts the hot air to form hot air flow, and the hot air flow enters from the dust inlet of the dust box of the cleaning robot and is blown out from the filter screen of the dust box, so that the moisture of the garbage in the dust box is taken away, and the garbage in the dust box is dried. Thereafter, the cleaning robot turns off the fan assembly, sends a dust collection command to the base station, and collects dust to clean the dust box. By adopting the scheme, the user does not need to take out the dust box and dump garbage from the cleaning robot, but the convenience of the floor sweeping cleaning robot is improved through automatic dust collection. Simultaneously, through the collection dirt passageway of stoving in the cleaning machines people dirt box in order to avoid blockking up the basic station to effectively prevent the dust collection pipeline of dust jam basic station of taking moisture, reduce the power consumption of basic station, promote the stability of clean effect and product, reduce the fault incidence. Moreover, no additional component is needed, namely, the cost is not increased, and the flow is optimized. In addition, the dust in the dust box is dried, so that the dust box can be prevented from being adhered to the dust box, and the dust box is easy to clean.
Optionally, in the above embodiment, after the cleaning robot stops at the base station each time, a start instruction is sent to the base station; alternatively, a humidity sensor may be disposed on the cleaning robot, and the humidity sensor may be disposed at a side wall of a dust box of the cleaning robot, a filter screen of the dust box, or the like. The cleaning robot utilizes the humidity sensor to detect the humidity of the dust box, and when the humidity is greater than or equal to the preset humidity, if the cleaning robot stops at the base station, the cleaning robot sends a starting instruction to the base station.
When the humidity is smaller than the preset humidity, the dust box is relatively dry and does not need to be dried. After the cleaning robot stops at the base station, the fan assembly of the cleaning robot does not need to work, and the fan assembly of the base station works to clean up garbage in the dust box.
By adopting the scheme, the cleaning robot starts the drying process when the humidity of the dust box is larger, the dust box is not required to be dried when the cleaning robot stops on the base station at every time, and the power and the time of the base station and the cleaning robot are reduced.
In the above embodiments, the cleaning robot does not define the time point at which the humidity of the dust box is determined. For example, the cleaning robot may determine the humidity of the dust box after each docking at the base station. In this way, the cleaning robot does not need to determine the humidity of the dust box during normal operation, and only when the cleaning robot stops at the base station for dust collection, the cleaning robot determines the humidity of the dust box.
By adopting the scheme, the cleaning robot is prevented from frequently stopping on the base station while the purpose of drying the dust box during dust collection is realized.
For another example, the humidity of the dust box is determined when the cleaning robot is in an operating state. In this manner, the humidity of the dust box is periodically detected during operation before the cleaning robot is parked at the base station. Once the humidity of the dust box is larger than or equal to the preset threshold value, the cleaning robot is controlled to stop at the base station, and then a starting instruction is sent to the base station, so that the aim of drying the dust box in time is fulfilled.
In addition, in order to prevent the cleaning robot from frequently parking on the base station, when the cleaning robot in the working state determines that the humidity of the dust box is greater than or equal to the preset humidity, the cleaning robot continues to determine the residual space of the dust box, and only when the residual space is smaller than the preset space, the cleaning robot moves to the base station and parks on the base station.
If the humidity of the dust box is smaller than the preset humidity, or even if the humidity of the dust box is larger than or equal to the preset humidity and the residual space of the dust box is smaller than the preset space, the cleaning robot continues to work, does not move to the base station, and further does not send a starting instruction to the base station.
Optionally, in the above embodiment, the cleaning robot detects the humidity of the airflow generated by the air sucked by the fan assembly by using a humidity sensor disposed between the filter screen on the dust box and the fan assembly, and uses the humidity of the airflow as the humidity of the dust box.

The humidity sensor 53 is used to detect the humidity of the airflow formed by the air drawn by the fan assembly 52.
Referring to fig. 5, if the cleaning robot is not parked on the base station, i.e. the humidity of the dust box is detected during normal operation, the fan assembly 52 sucks air and generates an air flow, the air flow enters the dust box from the dust inlet 511 of the dust box of the cleaning robot and is blown out from the filter screen 512 of the dust box, and the humidity sensor 53 detects the humidity of the air flow, and uses the humidity of the air flow as the humidity of the dust box. At this time, the drying part of the base station is not operated, and thus, the air flow is different from the above-mentioned hot air flow.
If the cleaning robot stops on the base station to detect the humidity of the dust box, the drying part of the base station does not work, the fan assembly of the cleaning robot is in a working state to provide suction force, the suction force sucks air and generates air flow, the air flow automatically cleans the dust box of the cleaning robot, the air flow enters the dust box from a dust inlet of the dust box and is blown out from a filter screen of the dust box, the humidity sensor detects the humidity of the air flow, and the humidity of the air flow is used as the humidity of the dust box.
It should be noted that, although the above description is made by taking the example in which the humidity sensor 53 is disposed between the filter screen 512 and the fan assembly 52 of the cleaning robot. However, the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. For example, in other possible implementations, the humidity sensor 53 may also be disposed on a side wall of the dust box, a filter screen of the dust box, or the like.
By adopting the scheme, the aim of accurately determining the humidity of the dust box is fulfilled.
Optionally, in the above embodiment, the cleaning robot may turn off the fan assembly after the drying portion of the base station operates for a preset time period, and instruct the base station to turn off the drying portion. Or, referring to fig. 5 again, the dust box is further provided with a dust collection port 513, the dust collection port 513 and the dust inlet 511 are located on different surfaces of the dust box, and the dust collection port 513 and the filter screen 512 are located on different surfaces of the dust box. The humidity sensor 53 continuously detects the humidity of the hot air flow during the drying process, and when the humidity of the hot air flow is smaller than the preset humidity, the cleaning robot turns off the fan assembly and instructs the base station to turn off the drying part.
Thereafter, the fan assembly of the base station is operated, and the fan assembly of the base station is rotated to generate a dust collecting airflow which enters the dust box from the dust collecting port 513 to suck away the dust and other garbage in the dust box. Wherein, set up the dust collection passageway between the dust collection mouth 513 and the dust absorption mouth of basic station, the dust absorption mouth of basic station is connected with the collection dirt part of basic station, and collection dirt part can hold a large amount of rubbish.
In the dust collection process, because the fan assembly of the cleaning robot is closed, only the fan assembly of the base station works, the suction force provided by the fan assembly of the base station is not interfered by external connection, and the dust box is cleaned quickly.
