Detailed Description
In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular system configurations, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present disclosure with unnecessary detail.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method of a cleaning apparatus, including:
s101, obtaining a track of continuous movement of a ground brush on the ground, wherein the track comprises a plurality of steering nodes, and each steering node is a turning point of the reverse movement ground brush;
s102, taking a start point of a track as a first steering node, calculating a first cleaning area of a ground brush moving from the first steering node to a second steering node and a second cleaning area of a ground brush moving from a third steering node to a fourth steering node, and taking the fourth steering node as a new first steering node;
s103, calculating the superposition area of the first cleaning area and the second cleaning area;
s104, calculating the proportion of the overlapped area to the first cleaning area;
s105, comparing the proportion with a preset proportion threshold value, and automatically adjusting the working state of the cleaning equipment based on the comparison result.
Specifically, the cleaning device herein may be a power mop, a cleaner, a scrubber, or the like, and the floor brush is one of cleaning members of the cleaning device, and generally, the shape of the floor brush may be configured as a disk or a cylinder. If the floor brush is a disc, the center point of the disc can be regarded as the position of the floor brush to acquire the track of the floor brush continuously moving on the ground; if the ground brush is a cylinder, the center point of the cylinder can be regarded as the position of the ground brush to acquire the track of the continuous movement of the ground brush on the ground. For example, as shown in fig. 2, the brush is a cylinder, the center point of the axis of the cylinder is regarded as the position of the brush, and the brush is dragged to move along the track of a→b→c→d, and A, B, C, D is the steering node of the brush, where A1 is the start point of the track.
The turning node represents a turning position point for changing the direction of the floor brush in a back and forth movement manner when a user drags the floor brush to clean. For example, when a user drags the floor with the floor brush, the user pushes the floor brush forward and then pushes the floor brush backward, and then the position point of the floor brush when the floor brush is changed from forward movement to backward movement is a steering node of the floor brush in the continuous movement process of the floor; then, the user pushes the ground brush forward, and the position point when the ground brush is changed from backward movement to forward movement is the other steering node in the ground pasting movement process of the ground brush.
In connection with fig. 2, the line segments of two adjacent turning nodes may represent that the user uses the floor brush to perform a cleaning action along the track direction. For example, the line segments AB, BC, and CD correspond to one cleaning action, respectively, along the trajectory a→b→c→d in fig. 2. Preferably, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a cleaning area through which the floor brush passes along the line segment AB is denoted as a first cleaning area, denoted as S1, and a cleaning area through which the floor brush passes along the line segment CD is denoted as a second cleaning area, denoted as S2.
Obviously, the cleaning area of the line segment BC is also passed during the movement process of the floor brush along the track from A to B to C to D, corresponding to the cleaning area corresponding to one cleaning action between the second cleaning area and the first cleaning area. In practical applications, the first cleaning area and the second cleaning area may be calculated at intervals of one or more cleaning actions, or the first cleaning area and the second cleaning area may be calculated without intervals of the cleaning actions, for example, a cleaning area where the floor brush passes along the line segment AB in fig. 2 is taken as the first cleaning area, and a cleaning area where the floor brush passes along the line segment BC is taken as the second cleaning area, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
In the following, the overlapping area of the first cleaning area and the second cleaning area can reflect the overlapping ratio of the cleaning areas of the floor brush after the floor surface continuously passes through a plurality of cleaning actions. Specifically, if the overlapping area is larger, the probability that the floor brush repeatedly moves back and forth in the same area is larger, which means that the cleaning effect of the floor brush is not obvious in the area is larger; conversely, if the overlapping area is smaller, the probability that the brush repeatedly moves back and forth in the same area is smaller, which means that the cleaning effect of the brush in the area is less likely to be remarkable. Therefore, according to the embodiment of the disclosure, the working state of the cleaning equipment is adjusted by calculating the superposition degree of the cleaning areas of the ground brush after passing through different steering nodes in the continuous moving process, so that the working state of the cleaning equipment can be changed in a self-adaptive manner along with the moving action change of the ground brush on the ground, the trouble of manually adjusting the working state of the cleaning equipment in the cleaning process is avoided, the user operation is simplified, and the cleaning equipment is more intelligent.
In some embodiments, according to the control method of the cleaning apparatus provided in fig. 1, obtaining a track of continuous movement of the floor brush on the floor includes: a coordinate system is established by taking the starting point of a track of the movement of the ground brush as an origin; acquiring the direction, the angular speed and the mileage of the ground brush moving on the ground; determining a steering node of the moving track based on the azimuth; calculating coordinates of the steering node based on the angular velocity and the mileage; and generating a track of the linear movement of the ground brush along the steering node based on the coordinates of the steering node.
Specifically, taking the cleaning device as an example of a dust collector, taking the shape of a ground brush as a cylinder, taking the central point of the axis of the cylinder as the position of the ground brush, taking the position of each touch of the ground brush as an origin, establishing a two-dimensional coordinate system taking the axis direction of the cylinder as an X axis, wherein the Y axis direction is perpendicular to the axis direction, and the planes of the X axis and the Y axis are parallel to the ground, wherein when the ground brush continuously moves on the ground, the origin is equivalent to the starting point of the moving track of the ground brush.
In practical application, the magnetic induction sensor, the angular velocity sensor and the encoder can be arranged on the ground brush to correspondingly acquire the direction, the angular velocity and the mileage of the movement of the ground brush.
The method for determining the steering node of the ground brush in the continuous moving process of the ground brush according to the direction of the ground brush can be specifically realized by calculating the direction component of the ground brush in the Y-axis direction based on the established two-dimensional coordinate system and determining the steering node according to the change of the direction component. For example, as shown in fig. 2, during the movement of the brush along the line segment AB, calculating that the azimuth component of the brush in the Y-axis direction is positive, and when the brush moves to the point B to move along the line segment BC, the azimuth component of the brush in the Y-axis direction becomes negative, thereby determining the point B as a steering node; similarly, when the brush moves to the point C and moves along the line segment CD, the azimuth component of the brush in the Y-axis direction becomes positive again, and at the moment, the point C is determined to be a steering node.
With continued reference to fig. 2, the direction angle of the movement of the ground brush relative to the two-dimensional coordinate system can be calculated by the angular velocity of the ground brush, and the mileage is the displacement of the actual movement of the ground brush. Then, if the user pushes the brush to move along the track from a to B to C to D, let a be the origin of coordinates (0, 0), let the length of the brush be t, let the length vectors of the line segments AB, BC and CD be r1, r2 and r3, respectively, let the angle between the line segment AB and the positive direction of the X-axis be α, let the angle between the line segment BC and the positive direction of the X-axis be β, and let the angle between the line segment CD and the positive direction of the X-axis be γ, then, by combining the angular speed and mileage of the brush movement, it can be calculated:
the coordinates of A are (0, 0);
the coordinates of B are (r 1. Times. Cos alpha., r 1. Times. Sin alpha.);
the coordinates of C are (r1×cosα+r2×cosβ, r1×sinα+r2×sinβ);
d has the coordinates (r1×cosα+r2×cosβ+r3×cosγ, r1×sinα+r2×sinβ+r3×sinγ).
After the coordinates of the steering nodes A, B, C and D are calculated, the vectors of two adjacent steering nodes can be calculated, and a vector array of the brush movement track can be generated:
it should be noted that, the movement track of the brush generated here is a straight line track moving along the steering node, and the actual movement track of the brush between two adjacent steering nodes may not be an integral straight line, but a broken line. For example, the angular velocity may change during the movement of the brush from steering node a to steering node B, although the orientations are all in the same direction, and thus the actual trajectory of the brush from steering node a to steering node B may be a broken line, not a straight line. However, whether the actual movement trajectory of the brush is a straight line or a broken line, the coordinates of the steering node B point can be calculated according to the mileage and angular velocity of the movement. In the embodiment of the disclosure, by calculating the mileage vectors of two adjacent steering nodes as the track of the ground brush movement, the calculation amount of the subsequent cleaning area can be simplified, and a large error is not caused to the final calculation of the overlapping area.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the origin of the track of the ground brush movement is used as the origin, the coordinate system is established, the steering nodes in the ground brush movement process can be accurately identified by combining the azimuth, the angular speed and the mileage of the ground brush movement, the coordinates of each steering node are calculated, and the track of the ground brush movement can be rapidly generated by utilizing the coordinates of each steering node.
In some embodiments, calculating a first swept area of the ground brush moving from the first steering node to the second steering node includes: acquiring coordinates of a first steering node and a second steering node; based on the shape of the brush, the planar area of the brush moving straight from the first turning node to the second turning node is calculated and used as the first cleaning area.
Specifically, in the case where the shape of the brush is a cylinder, please refer to fig. 2, the cleaning area moving straight from the first turning node a to the second turning node B is a parallelogram, wherein assuming that the length of the brush is t, the coordinates of the first turning node a are (0, 0), the coordinates of the second turning node B are (r 1×cos α, r1×sin α), the area of the parallelogram is taken as the first cleaning area, and S1 is marked, then the first cleaning area can be calculated:
S1=r1*sinα*t。
next, a second swept area of the brush moving from the third steering node to the fourth steering node is calculated, comprising:
acquiring coordinates of a third steering node and a fourth steering node;
based on the shape of the brush, the planar area of the brush moving straight from the third turning node to the fourth turning node is calculated and used as the second cleaning area.
Also, in the case where the shape of the ground brush is a cylinder, please refer to fig. 2, the cleaning area moving straight from the third steering node C to the fourth steering node D is another parallelogram, where the coordinates of the third steering node C are (r1×cosα+r2×cosβ, r1×sinα+r2×sinβ), the coordinates of the fourth steering node D are (r1×cosα+r2×cosβ+r3×cosγ, r1×sinα+r2×sβ+r3×sinγ), and the other parallelogram is taken as the second cleaning area, and S2 is marked, then the second cleaning area can be calculated:
S2=r3*sinγ*t。
in some embodiments, calculating the overlap area of the first swept area and the second swept area includes: calculating all vertex coordinates of the shapes of the first cleaning area and the second cleaning area; based on the vertex coordinates, a coincident area of the first cleaning area and the second cleaning area is determined.
In practical applications, the implementation of calculating the overlapping area of two known shapes is not unique, and here, a specific embodiment of calculating the overlapping area S0 of the cleaning area S1 and the second cleaning area S2 is given in connection with fig. 2.
Referring to fig. 2, the shape of the floor brush is a cylinder, the shapes of the first cleaning area S1 and the second cleaning area S2 are both parallelograms, wherein four vertexes of the parallelogram where the first cleaning area S1 is located are a, b, c, d, and four vertexes of the parallelogram where the second cleaning area S2 is located are e, f, g, h. Then, it can be calculated that:
a has a coordinate (-t/2, 0);
b has the coordinates of (t/2, 0);
c has the coordinates of (r1×cosα+t/2, r1×sinα);
d has the coordinates of (r 1. Times. Cos alpha. -t/2, r 1. Times. Sin alpha.);
e has the coordinates of (r1×cosα+r2×cosβ -t/2, r1×sinα+r2×sinβ);
the coordinates of f are (r1×cosα+r2×cosβ+t/2, r1×sinα+r2×sinβ);
the coordinates of g are (r1+r2+r3+rβ+rγ+t/2, r1+r2+r3+rβ_sjγ;
the coordinates of h are (r1×cosα+r2×cosβ+r3×cosγ -t/2, r1×sinα+r2×sinβ+r3×sinγ).
On this basis, the intersection points of the four sides ab, bc, cd and da of the quadrangle where the first cleaning area S1 is located and the four sides ef, fg, gh, he of the quadrangle where the second cleaning area S2 is located can be calculated in sequence, so that the intersection points of the quadrangle where the first cleaning area S1 and the second cleaning area S2 are located can be determined.
For example, assuming that x1=r1×cos α+r2×cos β -t/2, y1=r1×sin α+r2×sin β, x2=r1×cos α+r2×cos β+r3×cos γ -t/2, y2=r1×sin α+r2×sin β+r3×sin γ, the coordinates of the two vertices e, h are reduced to (x 1, y 1) and (x 2, y 2), respectively, the he linear equation can be obtained as:
y=(y2-y1)*x/(x2-x1)+(y1-y2)*x1/(x2-x1)+y1;
assuming that k1= (y 2-y 1)/(x 2-x 1), b1= (y 1-y 2) ×1/(x 2-x 1) +y1, the he straight line equation can be simplified as: y=k1 x+b1.
Similarly, assuming that x3=r1×cos α+t/2, y3=r1×sin α, x4=r1×cos α -t/2, y4=r1×sin α, the coordinates of the two vertices c and d are respectively reduced to (x 3, y 3) and (x 4, y 4), the cd linear equation can be obtained as:
y=(y4-y3)*x/(x4-x3)+(y3-y4)*x3/(x4-x3)+y3;
assuming that k2= (y 4-y 3)/(x 4-x 3), b2= (y 3-y 4) ×3/(x 4-x 3) +y3, the cd linear equation can be simplified as: y=k2 x+b2.
Next, the two equations are combined into a system of equations:
by calculating the solution of this equation set (1), the coordinates of the intersection point k of the two straight lines he and cd can be obtained. Obviously, the coordinates of the intersection point j of the straight lines bc and ef can also be calculated by adopting the same method, and are not described herein.
Further, after the coordinates of the intersections k and j are obtained, the coordinates of the four vertices e, j, c, k of the quadrangle where the overlapping area S0 is located are obtained. Then, given that the implementation of the area calculation of the vertex coordinates of any quadrilateral is not unique, a specific implementation is given below.
Assume that the coordinates of the four vertices e, j, c, k are:
e(x1,y1);
j(x6,y6);
c(x3,y3);
k(x5,y5);
wherein, four vertices e, j, c, k can be sequentially connected into any quadrilateral ejck, and then the quadrilateral ejck (area) = Δabc+Δacd can be calculated:
Δabc (area) =1/2 (x1y6+x6y3+x3y1-x1y3+x6y1+x3y6);
Δacd (area) =1/2 (x1y3+x3y5+x5y1-x1y5+x3y1+x5y3).
From this, it can be seen that by the specific embodiment provided in the examples above, the overlapping area of arbitrary shapes can be calculated.
In some embodiments, for the control method of the cleaning apparatus provided in fig. 1, the operation state of the cleaning apparatus includes a power gear, a rotation speed gear of a motor in the cleaning apparatus, and a spray amount gear of the cleaning apparatus, and automatically adjusting the operation state of the cleaning apparatus based on a result of the comparison includes: under the condition that the ratio is greater than or equal to a first ratio threshold, the power gear, the rotating speed gear or/and the liquid spraying amount gear of the cleaning equipment are increased by one gear; under the condition that the proportion is smaller than or equal to a second proportion threshold value, reducing the power gear, the rotating speed gear or/and the liquid spraying amount gear of the cleaning equipment by one gear; under the condition that the proportion is smaller than the first proportion threshold value and larger than the second proportion threshold value, the power gear, the rotating speed gear or/and the liquid spraying amount gear of the cleaning equipment are/is kept unchanged; wherein the first proportional threshold is greater than the second proportional threshold.
Specifically, the power gear, the rotating speed gear and the liquid spraying amount gear can have a plurality of gears, when one gear needs to be increased according to the comparison result, if the gear in which the current working state of the cleaning equipment is located is the highest gear, the current highest gear is kept; in contrast, when the first gear needs to be lowered according to the comparison result, if the gear in which the current working state of the cleaning device is located is already the lowest gear, the current lowest gear is maintained.
Furthermore, the cleaning device differs in the operating state to be adjusted.

Specifically, the first proportional threshold and the second proportional threshold may be thresholds that are set in advance according to empirical data or experiments, or may be new thresholds after the thresholds that have been set are adjusted according to user data, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.
In some embodiments, the first proportional threshold is generally set between 50% -80%, e.g., the first proportional threshold may be set to 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, etc.; while the second ratio threshold is typically set below 20% -45%, for example, the second ratio threshold may be set at 45%, 40%, 35%, 30%, 25%, 20%, etc. Preferably, in one embodiment, the first proportional threshold is set to 60% and the second proportional threshold is set to 30%.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, another control method of a cleaning apparatus is provided in an embodiment of the disclosure, including:
