The following explains the working principle of the sweeping robot provided in this embodiment:
after the square wave pulse of the microprocessor passes through the driver, the ultrasonic transducer is triggered to emit ultrasonic waves, and the ultrasonic waves are emitted to the ground to be detected. Meanwhile, the ultrasonic transducer can also receive ultrasonic reflection echoes from the ground. Since the reflected echo (voltage signal) is very weak, the reflected echo is subjected to secondary amplification by an operational amplifier (an amplification circuit is shown in fig. 3), and is converted into a voltage signal with a larger amplitude, and the voltage signal is connected to a microprocessor.
Because the absorption rates of the ultrasonic waves of hard ground (such as floor tiles and floors) and soft ground (carpet) are different, the reflected echoes have obvious difference after being amplified, an AD converter (an analog-to-digital converter) carried by a microprocessor is used for collecting and converting the amplified voltage signal (the reflected echoes) into a digital result, then the smooth filtering processing is carried out on the results of multiple measurements, and the maximum numerical value result is determined from the measurement results. Comparing the obtained maximum value result with a preset threshold value, wherein if the maximum value result is greater than the threshold value, the hard floor is determined, and if the maximum value result is less than the threshold value, the carpet is determined. In the case of a carpet, the sweeping mode requires increased suction and the mopping mode requires avoidance. Therefore, the floor sweeping robot realizes the detection of the carpet through the mode, the response speed is high, and the detection result is accurate.
The embodiment of the utility model provides a robot of sweeping floor, including the robot body and set up in the ultrasonic transducer on the robot body, the robot body includes casing, microprocessor and driver set up in the casing, microprocessor with the driver is connected, the driver with the ultrasonic transducer is connected; wherein the microprocessor is configured to send a drive signal to the driver, the driver is configured to power amplify the drive signal and transmit the amplified drive signal to the ultrasonic transducer; the ultrasonic transducer is arranged on the shell and is configured to emit ultrasonic waves to the ground to be detected for ground detection. Therefore, the technical scheme that this embodiment provided can alleviate the lower problem of the degree of accuracy that exists among the prior art, can improve the degree of accuracy that detects, simultaneously, can also avoid causing the harm to the carpet.
As shown in fig. 4, the present embodiment provides a method for detecting a floor, which is applied to a microcontroller of a sweeping robot, and the method includes:

step S420, obtaining a reflection echo from the ground to be detected, which is received by an ultrasonic transducer;
and step S430, determining the ground type of the ground to be detected based on the reflected echo.
For step S410, the microprocessor drives the ultrasonic transducer to emit ultrasonic waves to the ground to be detected by emitting a driving signal.
In an alternative embodiment, step S410 may be performed by:
1. the microprocessor sends a driving signal to the driver every preset time; the driver amplifies the driving signal, sends the amplified driving signal to the ultrasonic transducer and triggers the ultrasonic transducer to transmit ultrasonic waves to the ground to be detected;

And when the digital value is larger than a preset threshold value, determining that the ground to be detected is a hard ground.
In an alternative embodiment, the value determined from the filtered echo profile may result in a maximum digital value in the reflected echo.
It should be noted that, considering that, due to the different absorption rates of the ultrasonic waves by the hard ground (such as a floor tile and a floor) and the soft ground (such as a carpet), the reflected echoes have a relatively obvious difference after being amplified, that is, the waveforms of the reflected echoes of different ground are different, in one embodiment, the type of the ground can be determined by the waveforms, that is, the acquired waveform of the reflected echo is compared with the preset waveform of the carpet, and when the comparison result indicates matching (the coincidence degree of the two waveforms is greater than the preset value), the type of the ground is determined to be the carpet; comparing the waveform of the obtained reflection echo with a preset floor waveform, and when the comparison result indicates matching (the coincidence degree of the waveforms of the two is greater than the preset value), determining that the ground type is the floor, wherein fig. 5 shows an amplified reflection echo waveform diagram of a hard ground; figure 6 shows a magnified reflected echo waveform of a carpet.
It should be understood that other ground types may be determined based on the same waveform comparison described above.
According to the ground detection method provided by the embodiment of the application, the ultrasonic transducer is controlled to emit ultrasonic waves to the ground to be detected, and then the reflected echo from the ground to be detected, which is received by the ultrasonic transducer, is obtained; and finally, determining the ground type of the ground to be detected based on the reflected echo, wherein the ground type comprises a carpet. Therefore, the ground detection method provided by the embodiment is a method for realizing carpet detection by using the ultrasonic transducer, the ultrasonic transducer is installed at the bottom of the sweeper close to the advancing direction, and the ultrasonic emitting surface is parallel to the ground and emits ultrasonic waves vertically downwards. Whether the carpet is detected can be judged by obtaining the reflection echo signal, the problem that the detection precision is low in the prior art is solved, the detection precision is improved, and meanwhile the detection efficiency is also improved.
For step S410, the microprocessor is driven by transmitting a driving signal.
As shown in fig. 7, another method for ground detection, applied to a microprocessor, is provided in the embodiments of the present application, and includes:
step S710, controlling an ultrasonic transducer to emit ultrasonic waves to the ground to be detected;
s720, acquiring a reflected echo from the ground to be detected, which is received by an ultrasonic transducer;
step S730, determining the ground type of the ground to be detected based on the reflection echo; the floor type comprises a carpet;

step S750, when the current mode of the sweeping robot is a sweeping mode, controlling the sweeping robot to increase suction;
and step S760, controlling the sweeping robot to change direction to avoid the carpet when the current mode of the sweeping robot is the mopping mode.
