The control module can control the walking module 200, the sweeping module 300 and the mopping module 400 to perform corresponding actions according to the set program, so as to complete the cleaning work of the floor 600.
Alternatively, the control module may send corresponding instructions through a built-in program, or may receive signals from a remote terminal (mobile APP, remote controller, etc.) and send corresponding instructions to the walking module 200, the sweeping module 300, and the mopping module 400 according to the settings.
The mop module 400 is switched to a drop state when mopping is required, the mop module 400 is switched to a lift state when mopping is not required, the process of switching the mop module 400 from the drop state to the lift state is not completed instantaneously, a certain time is required to elapse, and in the process of lifting, sundries 500 such as garbage, dirt and the like can fall due to shaking of the mop module 400.
When the floor sweeping device works, after the control module sends the lifting control signal to the floor sweeping module 400, the control module controls the walking module 200 so that the floor sweeping module 300 can cover a preset area, and the control module controls the floor sweeping module 300 to perform floor sweeping on the preset area, wherein the preset area is an area passing through in the lifting process of the floor sweeping module 400 from a lowering state to a lifting state, namely, an area passing through in the preset time.
The cleaning robot, the control module can control the floor mopping module 400 to switch between a lifting state and a lowering state, after the control module sends a lifting control signal to the floor mopping module 400, the floor mopping module 400 switches from the lowering state to the lifting state and experiences preset time, the control module controls the walking module 200 to walk and enables the floor sweeping module 300 to cover a preset area where the floor mopping module 400 passes in the lifting process of the floor mopping module 400, so that the control module controls the floor sweeping module 300 to perform floor sweeping work on the preset area. So set up, make control module control walking module 200 and sweep module 300 clean debris 500 (such as dust, spot etc.) that mop module 400 dropped in the lifting in-process to ensure cleaning robot's cleaning performance, avoid causing secondary pollution to ground 600.
In an embodiment, referring to fig. 2 to 5, with the traveling direction of the machine body 100 being the front, the floor mopping module 400 is located at the rear of the floor sweeping module 300, and the control module sends a back control signal to the traveling module 200 to control the traveling module 200 to stop traveling and back so that the floor sweeping module 300 covers the preset area, and the back direction is the reverse direction of the traveling direction.
As shown in fig. 2 to 5, in view of the frame 100, the right side is the traveling direction of the frame 100, the right side is the front, the mop module 400 is located on the left side of the frame 100, and the mop module 400 is located behind the sweeper module 300.
As shown in fig. 2, the mop module 400 is contaminated with dust, garbage, or other debris 500; as shown in fig. 3, when the vehicle needs to climb over an obstacle or go over a ground 600 with different gradients or finish mopping, the mopping module 400 needs to be lifted and retracted; as shown in fig. 4, the floor mopping module 400 drops dust, garbage, and other debris 500 onto the floor 600 during the lifting process; as shown in fig. 5, the control module sends a retraction control signal to the walking module 200, so that the walking module 200 stops travelling and drives the machine body 100 to retract, and the retraction direction is the reverse direction of the travelling direction, so that the floor sweeping module 300 can cover a preset area where the lifting module passes in the lifting process; as shown in fig. 6, the cleaning robot continues to travel forward after the cleaning module 300 completes cleaning the foreign objects 500 dropped in the lifting process of the floor mopping module 400.
It will be appreciated that:
because the floor mopping module 400 is located at the rear of the floor mopping module 300, the machine body 100 advances forward, and in the lifting process of the floor mopping module 400, the fallen dust, garbage and other sundries 500 cannot be cleaned by the floor mopping module 300, so that the walking module 200 must be enabled to drive the machine body 100 to retract, and the floor mopping module 300 can cover a preset area where the floor mopping module 400 passes in the lifting process, the retraction direction must be the reverse direction of the advancing direction, so that the secondary pollution floor 600 is cleaned, and the cleaning effect is ensured.
In a specific embodiment, after the control module sends the lift control signal to the floor mopping module 400, the control module sends the rollback control signal to the walking module 200. In one possible application scenario, the mop module 400 executes the lifting control signal sent by the control module, and before the lifting action is not completed, receives the retraction control signal sent by the control module, at this time, the airframe 100 starts to execute the retraction control signal, and retracts along the direction opposite to the travelling direction. For this, the control module is provided to control the walk module 200 to retract to cover at least an area where the mop module 400 walks during the lifting process before the retraction control signal is performed, so that the floor sweeping module 300 can clean up debris dropped during the retraction process at an initial stage where the mop module 400 starts the lifting action. In practice, the debris 500 is mostly dropped during the initial phase of the initiation of the lifting action by the towing module 400. Thus, even if the retraction is performed before the lifting action of the mop assembly 400 is completed, most of the debris falling off the mop assembly can be cleaned. Further, in order to obtain a better cleaning effect, the control module may be further configured to control the traveling module 200 to advance after the traveling module 200 completes the retraction motion, so as to integrally cover a preset area passed by the mop module 400 in the lifting process. Thus, in the application scenario, the coverage of the preset area is realized through the path passing through in the retraction process and the path passing through in the advancing process of the walking assembly 200. In another possible application scenario, the coverage of the preset area may be achieved only through the path that is traversed during the rollback of the walking assembly 200. Specifically, the walking module 200 receives the rollback control signal sent by the control module after the mop module 400 completes the lifting action, and performs rollback to cover a preset area passed by the mop module 400 in the lifting process. Accordingly, the control module is configured to send a rollback control signal to the walk module after the towing module 400 switches to the elevated state.
In one embodiment, the control module controls the walking module 200 to stop the rollback after a preset distance or a preset time.
When the preset area needs to be backed off for secondary cleaning, the purpose of the backing off should enable the floor sweeping module 300 to cover the preset area. Thus, there are two ways to choose from:
first kind: the sweeping module 300 is ensured to cover the preset area by retreating by the preset distance. The preset distance can determine a preset area passed by the floor mopping module 400 in the lifting process according to factors such as forward travelling speed of the cleaning robot, time consumed by the floor mopping module 400 in lifting, and the like, so that the cleaning robot can retract a preset distance relative to the preset area.
Second kind: the scan module 300 is ensured to cover a preset area by backing off the preset time. The preset time may be determined according to the backward speed of the cleaning robot, the time taken for the cleaning robot to lift up the mop module 400, the speed of the cleaning robot to travel forward, and the like, the preset area is determined according to the time taken for the cleaning robot to lift up the mop module 400 and the speed of the cleaning robot to travel forward, and then the backward preset time is determined based on the backward speed of the cleaning robot and the preset area.
In one embodiment, the retraction preset distance is 0.5 times the length of the body 100 to 2 times the length of the body 100.
In this embodiment, the preset distance is set based on the preset area passed by the lifting process of the floor mopping module 400 and the length parameter of the machine body 100, so as to reduce the control calculation amount during the retraction and reduce the control difficulty.
In one embodiment, the sweeping module 300 is selectively in a lifting state or a lowering state relative to the main body 100, and after receiving the lifting control signal sent by the control module, the sweeping module 300 is switched from the lowering state to the lifting state; before the walking module 200 retreats, the control module sends the lifting control signal to the floor sweeping module 300.
In this embodiment, the mop module 400 is located at the rear of the sweeper module 300, and not only the mop module 400 can be in a raised state or a lowered state with respect to the main body 100, but also the sweeper module 300 can be in a raised state or a lowered state with respect to the main body 100.
Before the walk module 200 is retracted, the control module transmits a lift control signal toward the floor sweeping module 300 to switch the floor sweeping module 300 to a lifted state so that the floor sweeping module 300 resumes the cleaning process on the secondary-polluted floor 600 after stopping the retraction.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 7, before the control module sends a lifting control signal to the sweeping module 300, it is determined whether the sweeping module 300 is in a put-down state, when the determination result is yes, the control module sends the lifting control signal to the sweeping module 300, and when the determination result is no, the control module does not send the lifting control signal to the sweeping module 300.
It will be appreciated that:
when the cleaning robot is in the single-sweep mode, there is no work of the mop module 400, and thus, there is no problem that the mop module 400 lifts the falling debris 500 to cause secondary pollution of the floor 600.
When the cleaning robot is in the cleaning mode, before retreating, not only the cleaning module 400 is lifted, but also the cleaning module 300 is lifted, so that the cleaning module 300 can clean the sundries 500 falling on the ground 600 from the cleaning module 400 after retreating.
When the cleaning robot is in the single-mopping mode, before backing, the mopping module 400 is lifted, and after backing in place, the cleaning module 300 is enabled to clean the sundries 500 falling on the ground 600 from the mopping module 400 for the second time.
As can be seen from the three working modes of the cleaning robot, before the cleaning robot backs up, the cleaning module 300 needs to be in a lifting state, and the cleaning module 300 may be in a lifting state before backing up, in this case, the control module is not required to send a lifting control signal, so that it is required to judge whether the cleaning module 300 is in a lowering state or not, if so, the control module sends the lifting control signal to the cleaning module 300, otherwise, the cleaning module is not required to send the lifting control signal.
In another embodiment, referring to fig. 8, with the traveling direction of the machine body 100 as the front, the floor mopping module 400 is located in front of the floor sweeping module 300, and the control module controls the traveling module 200 to continue traveling so that the floor sweeping module 300 covers the preset area.
Unlike the foregoing embodiment, in this embodiment, the mop module 400 is located in front of the mop module 300, and in this case, the control module only needs to control the traveling module 200 to continue traveling, so that the cleaning effect can be ensured by cleaning the debris 500 dropped from the mop module 400 in front by the mop module 300 in the rear.
It should be noted that:
in this embodiment, the cleaning robot also has three modes of operation;
when the cleaning robot is in the single-sweep mode, there is no problem in that the mop module 400 lifts the falling debris 500.
When the cleaning robot is in the sweeping and mopping mode, the mopping module 400 lifts the falling sundries 500, and because the sweeping module 300 is behind the mopping module 400 and in a sweeping executing working state, the cleaning module only needs to control the traveling module 200 to continue traveling so as to cover a preset area where the mopping module 400 passes in the lifting process, and the cleaning of the falling sundries 500 can be completed.
When the cleaning robot is in the single-drag mode, the drag module 400 lifts the falling sundries 500, and since the sweeping module 300 is not in the sweeping work state, on one hand, the walking module 200 needs to drive the machine body 100 to continue to travel so as to cover the preset area through which the drag module 400 passes in the lifting process, and on the other hand, the sweeping module 300 needs to be switched to the drop state so as to clean the sundries 500 falling in the preset area.
In still another embodiment, the control module controls the traveling module 200 to travel in a turning manner such that the sweeping module 300 covers the preset area with the traveling direction of the body 100 as the front.
In this embodiment, the preset area passed by the mopping module 400 in the lifting process is not simply covered by advancing or retreating, so the control module needs to control the walking module 200 to turn, so that the sweeping module 300 covers the preset area, and the preset area passed by the mopping module 400 is cleaned for the second time.
In one embodiment, the control module sends a lift control signal to the mop module 400 in the case where the cleaning robot completes the cleaning/switches the sweeping/crossing the obstacle during the travel of the main body 100.
When the cleaning robot completes the cleaning work or the switching of the sweeping work or the crossing of the obstacle, the control module needs to make the mop module 400 in a retracted state, and thus, a lifting control signal needs to be sent to the mop module 400 to make the mop module 400 in a lifted state.
