As an embodiment, the application discloses a multi-floor cleaning control method of a robot, which is used for a cleaning robot to execute a cross-floor cleaning task through an elevator, namely, the robot which is idle at a first target floor, the robot which works at the first target floor or the robot which is idle at the elevator is transported to a second target floor which needs cleaning through the lifting motion of the elevator under the control of an internal or external central controller (including remote wireless control) of the cleaning robot. As shown in fig. 1, the basic concept of the multi-floor cleaning control method includes: firstly, at least one cleaning robot is allocated to each floor to be cleaned; then transferring the cleaning robot to a corresponding floor to be cleaned according to the height information of the floor to be cleaned, or the cleaning area of each floor, or the grade of the dirt degree marked in the cleaning area of each floor; wherein the cleaning robot initially allocated in each floor to be cleaned serves as a source of a subsequent dispatch robot.
The cleaning robot acquires the total floor number and the regional position information of each floor in advance. Preferably, the cleaning area of each floor comprises a work area of a public place of the same floor; the cleaning robot performs a map construction task of a cleaning area of the same floor while cleaning the work.
As one embodiment, the multi-floor cleaning control method includes: if the floor to be cleaned is detected to be higher, transferring fewer cleaning robots to the floor to be cleaned which is currently detected, specifically, in the process of executing a map construction task or cleaning operation, if the floor to be cleaned is detected to be higher than the floor to be cleaned by five layers, transferring the fewer cleaning robots to the floor to be cleaned by one floor, and if the floor to be cleaned is detected to be higher than the floor to be cleaned by one floor, transferring more than five floors; while fewer robots are transferred to the higher floors to be cleaned, robots of the lower floors are successively dispatched to the higher floors to support cleaning and mapping after synchronously completing the mapping task and the cleaning task of the preset work area of the floor where they are located. Further, the relative floor heights and corresponding transfer amounts involved in the comparison may be adaptively adjusted based on the floor information and the environmental information.
As an embodiment, if the cleaning area of the floor to be cleaned is detected to be larger, more cleaning robots are transferred to the floor to be cleaned which is currently detected, so that the cleaning efficiency of the floor to be cleaned is improved. The specific steps can be as follows: transferring three cleaning robots to the next floor to be cleaned if the area of the cleaning area of the next floor to be cleaned is more than five times the area of the cleaning area of the current floor to be cleaned each time, wherein the transfer operation involved includes, but is not limited to, dispatching cleaning robots from the current floor to be cleaned and the floors adjacent to each other up and down of the current floor to be cleaned; further, the area ratio of the relevant cleaning areas involved in the comparison and the corresponding transfer number can be adaptively adjusted according to the floor information and the environment information. Notably, the cleaning area disclosed in this embodiment does not account for the area of the working area of each room, one of the reasons is: the working area of the public place is more easily polluted and the pollution degree is deeper than the working area of the room; the second reason is that when the working area of the public place of the floor to be cleaned is larger, the number of rooms existing in the floor to be cleaned is also larger, and more cleaning robots need to be scheduled for cleaning the rooms. It should be noted that, the sources of the working area of the public place of the floor to be cleaned are: the cleaning robot of the floor to be cleaned is controlled to traverse the related area, position and boundary and collect the corresponding coordinate information, the working area of the public place is divided into a plurality of regular geometric figures by utilizing the coordinate information, and then the area is calculated graphically one by utilizing a geometric formula and is accumulated and summed. When the working area of the public place of the current floor is calculated to be larger, more cleaning robots are required to be scheduled from other floors to cooperate with cleaning to improve cleaning efficiency, specifically, regional planning cleaning can be performed, each divided subarea is responsible for cleaning and performing map construction tasks by one cleaning robot until cleaning traversal and map construction of the working area of the public place of the same floor to be cleaned are completed.
As an embodiment, if it is detected that the level of the dirt level of the cleaning robot marked in real time in the cleaning area of the floor to be cleaned is higher, more cleaning robots are transferred to the currently detected floor to be cleaned, so that the cleaning efficiency and the cleaning effect of the floor are improved. Specifically, there may be: if each time the level of the degree of soiling of the next floor to be cleaned is detected to be higher than the level of soiling of the current floor to be cleaned by more than five levels, transferring three cleaning robots to the next floor to be cleaned, wherein the transfer operation involved includes, but is not limited to, dispatching cleaning robots from the current floor to be cleaned and the floors adjacent to each other above and below the current floor to be cleaned. The basis of the dirt degree of the cleaning robot marked in real time in the cleaning area of the floor to be cleaned is determined by the acquisition information of a sensor for detecting the ground surface, or the floor wiping frequency of the cleaning robot, or the combination of the factors. The higher the dirt level is, the more cleaning robots are required to be scheduled to repeatedly clean, so that the number of cleaning operations of the single cleaning robot is reduced, and the overall cleaning efficiency of the currently detected cleaning area of the floor to be cleaned is improved.
In summary, the number of robots corresponding to one floor is distributed according to the floor and the public area of each floor, and the cleaning working state of the robots is scheduled; the cleaning robot can record dirty areas and grade the dirty areas when executing cleaning work, and the dirty areas are transmitted to the central controller, so that the central controller records the cleaning work state of the cleaning condition dynamic dispatching robot of each floor and the corresponding position in real time, the maximization of the cleaning efficiency of the cross-floor is achieved, and each floor can be ensured to be cleaned by the cleaning robot which is dispatched successively.
Preferably, if the level of the dirt level of all relevant position marks in the cleaning area of the current floor to be cleaned is detected to be equal to a preset cleaning level, at least one cleaning robot is controlled to stay on the current floor to be cleaned, and then the cleaning robot starts a camera to monitor the environment in the current floor to be cleaned and feeds back the real-time monitored environment information to the central controller, wherein the relevant position is preferably a preset boundary position. Is favorable for forming an uninterrupted cleaning state and keeps the building body in a clean state all the time. In some implementation scenes, the cleaning robot is controlled to maintain cleaning work in a cleaning area of a current floor to be cleaned, so that a state of uninterrupted cleaning is formed, and cleaning of the floor body by the robot is always kept.
On the other hand, if the dirt degree of one position mark in the cleaning area of the current floor to be cleaned is detected to be higher than the preset dirt grade, transferring at least one cleaning robot to the current floor to be cleaned so as to increase the cleaning efficiency, reduce the influence of dirt on the ground surface on the robot construction map, and indirectly increase the map construction speed.
It should be noted that, if the current first floor to be cleaned of the first floor-crossing task with the earliest time generated by the central controller is larger than the next floor to be cleaned, determining that the carrying direction of the first floor-crossing task with the earliest time generated is downlink; and if the current floor to be cleaned of the first floor-crossing task with the earliest generation time of the central controller is smaller than the floor to be cleaned of the next floor, determining the carrying direction of the first floor-crossing task with the earliest generation time as the uplink.
When a plurality of robots receive the cross-floor task at the same time, the transfer order of the plurality of robots to execute the cross-floor task can be set according to floor information of floors to be cleaned, cleaning area of each floor, and the level of dirt marked in the cleaning area of each floor. When one of the cleaning robots receives the cross-floor task and another cleaning robot waits for the cross-floor task to be executed, whether to enqueue the robot can be determined according to a preset traversal priority related to the position of the robot just receiving the cross-floor task, floor information of a floor to be cleaned, cleaning area of each floor and the marked dirt level in the cleaning area of each floor. That is, the priority order of executing the cross-floor task by different robots may be determined according to information such as different materials. Of course, the sorting may also be performed according to the natural time the cleaning robot receives the tasks.
The application is based on the general consideration that the types of elevators responsible for the transportation of the cleaning robot include passenger elevators, freight elevators, medical elevators, sundry elevators, sightseeing elevators, vehicle elevators, ship elevators, building construction elevators, and elevators with special purposes such as freezer elevators, explosion-proof elevators, mine elevators, power station elevators, firefighter elevators, diagonal elevators, nuclear island elevators and the like.
According to practical situations, floors of floors to be cleaned are roughly classified into floor tiles, floors and short-hair carpets (long-hair carpets are not suitable for cleaning robots). How to judge the material of ground, this patent is not described. Dirt that is common on floors includes dust particles and sticky objects that adhere to the floor. The cleaning robot cleans the floor in a manner including dust suction and mopping. Wherein, the dust collection is used for cleaning particles such as dust and the like and is equivalent to sweeping the floor by human beings, and the floor wiping is used for cleaning attachments and is equivalent to mopping the floor by human beings. The carpet is cleaned only by dust collection, and the floor tiles are cleaned by dust collection and then floor cleaning. According to the classification of the ground dirt, the ground dirt recognition includes dust recognition and attachment recognition.
The dust recognition adopts a dust recognition device, namely a dust sensor, and the working principle of the dust sensor is that the dust is sensed and recognized through infrared sensing, a pair of optical signal elements are arranged on two sides of a dust channel in the robot, one of the optical signal elements is used for emitting infrared rays, and the other optical signal element is used for sensing the infrared rays, so that a pair of dust sensors is formed. When dust enters the dust channel, the infrared induction between the two optical signal elements is weakened by interference, and the more the dust is, the weaker the infrared signal received by the induction element is, so that the robot can judge the dust amount of the cleaning area through the strength of the infrared induction signal.
For floor tiles and floors, the floor is cleaned after dust collection, and the amount of attachments is detected. In this embodiment, the cleaning robot is a sweeping robot assembled as an integrated dust collection and mopping; the bottom of the cleaning robot is also provided with a visual detection module, the visual detection module comprises a light source and a camera, the light source adopts an LED (light-emitting diode) area light source and is uniformly distributed at the bottom of the cleaning robot corresponding to a measured range, so that the ground in the measured range is ensured to obtain uniform light, and large differences are not generated due to the change of the type of ground medium of a floor, so that the characteristics of each point can be reflected into the camera; the camera adopts a wide-angle CCD camera and is arranged at the center of the bottom of the cleaning robot, and a larger visual range can be ensured under the condition that the lens is close to the ground; in the moving process of the cleaning robot, after the ground surface of the cleaning area continuously collects multi-frame ground surface images, the current collected two frames of ground surface images before and after cleaning are subjected to imaging processing to obtain a group of pixel characteristic values, and each pixel characteristic value is respectively subjected to difference value with a preset threshold value to be used for detecting the attachment quantity of the ground in real time, and the influence of external light and ground textures is eliminated, so that the comprehensive dirt degree of the ground is accurately and comprehensively judged. The camera is used for acquiring image information of the ground surface of a cleaning area of each floor to be cleaned of the mobile robot, and specifically comprises two images acquired before and after dust collection of the cleaning robot at the same position or two images acquired before and after floor cleaning of the cleaning robot at the same position, difference processing is carried out on a pair of ground surface images acquired before and after cleaning at the present time, the obtained difference images are ground surface approximate images after cleaning traversal, then the absolute value of a difference matrix is obtained, the average value is calculated and is used as a pixel characteristic value of the two ground surface images before and after cleaning, and then the pixel characteristic value is compared with a preset threshold value to obtain a matched difference value and correspondingly mark the grade of the dirt degree belonging to the position so as to determine whether the cleaning robot of other floors needs to be scheduled to the current floor to be cleaned.
On the basis of the above embodiment, when the difference is larger, the level of the degree of dirt marked in the corresponding position is higher; and controlling the cleaning robot to stop working until the level of the dirt level is higher than the preset dirt level, namely controlling the related sensor and the cleaning assembly to stop working so as to wait for the support of the cleaning robot dispatched by other floors and reduce the probability of the cleaning robot of the current floor to be cleaned to break down. And when the difference value is smaller, the grade of the dirt degree marked in the corresponding position is lower, and when the grade of the dirt degree is equal to a preset clean grade, the cleaning robot starts a camera in the corresponding position to monitor the environment and feeds back the environment information monitored in real time to a central controller of the cross-floor transfer device. The cleaning robot is convenient to control to perform uninterrupted cleaning work on the same floor, and the floor body is kept in a clean state all the time.
Therefore, the multi-floor cleaning control method controls the cleaning robot to perform uninterrupted cleaning work in the same floor to be cleaned, and the floor body is kept in a clean state all the time, so that the floor is cleaned efficiently on the premise of ensuring the cleaning quality of each floor.
It should be added that, in this embodiment, a mapping relationship between a difference value between a pixel characteristic value and a preset threshold value and a level of the dirt level are preset, and the mapping relationship is used to mark the level of the dirt level according to the difference value, where the mapping relationship adaptively adjusts and changes along with a change of a floor medium of a floor. It should be added that the preset threshold value is set smaller, which means that the vision detection module is sensitive to attachments on the ground and is easier to detect the attachments; if the preset threshold value is larger, the visual detection module is used for making a ton later on the attachment, and the attachment is not easy to detect.
In some embodiments, the dust collection time and power of the cleaning robot are determined by the dust amount detected in real time, and the floor wiping times of the cleaning robot are determined by the floor deposit amount.
Thus, when it is detected that the cleaning robot takes longer to absorb a preset dust amount in a preset unit working area of a floor to be cleaned, the grade mark of the dirt degree of the corresponding area is higher, otherwise the grade mark of the dirt degree of the corresponding area is lower; wherein, the dust sensor that the inside dust absorption passageway of cleaning robot installed is used for detecting the dust absorption volume. The floor adapted to the floor to be cleaned is a carpet embodiment. When detecting that the cleaning robot erases the preset attachment amount in the preset unit working area of one floor to be cleaned, the more the floor mopping times or the larger the floor mopping intervals are, the higher the grade marks of the dirt degree of the corresponding area are, otherwise, the lower the grade marks of the dirt degree of the corresponding area are, and otherwise, the lower the grade marks of the dirt degree of the corresponding area are. Wherein the preset amount of attachment is determined by the difference. The ground surface adapted to the floor to be cleaned is a floor or a floor tile implementation.
