For better understanding of the present invention, a cleaning robot 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 3 to 6.

Referring to fig. 3 to 6, fig. 3 is a top view of a cleaning robot 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 4 shows a bottom view of the cleaning robot 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 5 shows a side view of the cleaning robot 100 of an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 6 shows an isometric view of a cleaning robot 100 of an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 3 to 6, the cleaning robot 100 includes a main body 110, a sensing system 120, a control system 130 (not shown), a driving system 140, a cleaning system, an energy system, and a human-machine interaction system 170.

The machine body 110 includes a forward portion 111 and a rearward portion 112 having an approximately circular shape (circular front to rear), and may have other shapes including, but not limited to, an approximately D-shape with a front to rear circle.

The sensing system 120 includes a position determining device 121 located above the machine body 110, a bumper 122 located at the forward portion 111 of the machine body 110, a cliff sensor 123 and sensing devices such as ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, magnetometers, accelerometers, gyroscopes, odometers, etc., to provide various positional and kinematic state information of the machine to the control system 130. The position determining device 121 includes, but is not limited to, a camera 21, a laser distance measuring device (LDS). The following describes how position determination is performed by taking a laser distance measuring device of the triangulation method as an example. The basic principle of the triangulation method is based on the geometric relation of similar triangles, and is not described herein.

The laser ranging device includes a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit. The light emitting unit may include a light source that emits light, and the light source may include a light emitting element, such as an infrared or visible Light Emitting Diode (LED) that emits infrared light or visible light. Preferably, the light source may be a light emitting element that emits a laser beam. In the present embodiment, a Laser Diode (LD) is taken as an example of the light source. In particular, a light source using a laser beam may make the measurement more accurate than other lights due to the monochromatic, directional, and collimation characteristics of the laser beam. For example, infrared or visible light emitted by a Light Emitting Diode (LED) is affected by ambient environmental factors (e.g., color or texture of an object) as compared to a laser beam, and may be reduced in measurement accuracy. The Laser Diode (LD) may be a spot laser for measuring two-dimensional position information of an obstacle, or a line laser for measuring three-dimensional position information of an obstacle within a certain range.

The light receiving unit may include an image sensor on which a light spot reflected or scattered by an obstacle is formed. The image sensor may be a set of a plurality of unit pixels of a single row or a plurality of rows. These light receiving elements can convert optical signals into electrical signals. The image sensor may be a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) sensor or a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) sensor, and is preferably a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) sensor due to cost advantages. Also, the light receiving unit may include a light receiving lens assembly. Light reflected or scattered by the obstruction may travel through a light receiving lens assembly to form an image on the image sensor. The light receiving lens assembly may comprise a single or multiple lenses.

The base may support the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit, which are disposed on the base and spaced apart from each other by a certain distance. In order to measure the obstacle situation in the 360 degree direction around the robot, the base may be rotatably disposed on the main body 110, or the base itself may be rotated without rotating the emitted light, the received light by providing a rotating element. The rotating angular speed of the rotating element can be obtained by arranging the optical coupling element and the coded disc, the optical coupling element senses tooth gaps on the coded disc, and instantaneous angular speed can be obtained by dividing the sliding time of the tooth gap distance and the tooth gap distance value. The higher the density of the tooth notches on the coded disc is, the higher the measurement accuracy and precision are correspondingly, but the structure is more precise, and the calculated amount is higher; on the contrary, the smaller the density of the tooth defects is, the lower the accuracy and precision of measurement are, but the structure can be relatively simple, the calculation amount is smaller, and the cost can be reduced.

The data processing device, e.g. DSP, connected to the light receiving unit records and transmits the obstacle distance values at all angles in the direction of 0 degrees with respect to the robot to the data processing unit in the control system 130, e.g. Application Processor (AP) comprising CPU running a particle filter based positioning algorithm to obtain the current position of the robot and to map it according to this position for navigation. The positioning algorithm preferably uses instant positioning and mapping (SLAM).

Although the laser distance measuring device based on the triangulation method can measure the distance value at an infinite distance beyond a certain distance in principle, in practice, the realization of the long-distance measurement, for example, more than 6 meters, is difficult, mainly because of the size limitation of the pixel unit on the sensor of the light receiving unit, and at the same time, the laser distance measuring device is also influenced by the photoelectric conversion speed of the sensor, the data transmission speed between the sensor and the connected DSP, and the calculation speed of the DSP. The measured value obtained by the laser ranging device under the influence of temperature can also have variation which cannot be tolerated by a system, mainly because the angle between incident light and emergent light is changed due to thermal expansion deformation of a structure between the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit, and the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit can also have the temperature drift problem. After the laser ranging device is used for a long time, the measurement result is also seriously influenced by deformation caused by accumulation of various factors such as temperature change, vibration and the like. The accuracy of the measuring result directly determines the accuracy of the map drawing, and is the basis for further strategy implementation of the robot, and is particularly important.

The forward portion 111 of the machine body 110 may carry a bumper 122, the bumper 122 detecting one or more events in the travel path of the cleaning robot 100 via a sensor system, such as an infrared sensor, as the drive wheel module 141 propels the robot over the ground during cleaning, the robot controlling the drive wheel module 141 to cause the robot to respond to the events, such as moving away from an obstacle, by the events detected by the bumper 122, such as an obstacle, a wall.

The control system 130 is disposed on a circuit board in the machine body 110, and includes a non-transitory memory, such as a hard disk, a flash memory, and a random access memory, a communication computing processor, such as a central processing unit, and an application processor, and the application processor uses a positioning algorithm, such as SLAM, to map an instant map of the environment where the robot is located according to the obstacle information fed back by the laser ranging device. And the current working state of the sweeper is comprehensively judged by combining distance information and speed information fed back by the buffer 122, the cliff sensor 123, the ultrasonic sensor, the infrared sensor, the magnetometer, the accelerometer, the gyroscope, the odometer and other sensing devices, for example, when the sweeper passes a threshold, a carpet is arranged at the cliff, the upper part or the lower part of the sweeper is clamped, a dust box is full, the sweeper is taken up and the like, and a specific next-step action strategy is provided according to different conditions, so that the robot can work more according with the requirements of an owner, and better user experience is achieved. Further, the control system 130 can plan the most efficient and reasonable cleaning path and cleaning mode based on map information drawn by the SLAM, thereby greatly improving the cleaning efficiency of the robot.

The drive system 140 may steer the cleaning robot 100 across the floor based on drive commands having distance and angle information, such as x, y, and theta components. The drive system 140 includes a drive wheel module 141, and the drive wheel module 141 can control both the left and right wheels, and in order to more precisely control the motion of the machine, it is preferable that the drive wheel module 141 includes a left drive wheel module and a right drive wheel module, respectively. The left and right drive wheel modules are opposed along a transverse axis defined by the body 110. In order for the robot to be able to move more stably or with greater mobility over the ground, the robot may include one or more driven wheels 142, including but not limited to universal wheels. The driving wheel module comprises a traveling wheel, a driving motor and a control circuit for controlling the driving motor, and can also be connected with a circuit for measuring driving current and a milemeter. The driving wheel module 141 may be detachably coupled to the main body 110 to facilitate disassembly and maintenance. The drive wheel may have a biased drop-type suspension system movably secured, e.g., rotatably attached, to the robot body 110 and receiving a spring bias biased downward and away from the robot body 110. The spring bias allows the drive wheels to maintain contact and traction with the floor surface with a certain landing force while the cleaning elements of the cleaning robot 100 also contact the floor surface 10 with a certain pressure.

The cleaning system may be a dry cleaning system 150 and/or a wet cleaning system. As the dry cleaning system 150, a main cleaning function is derived from a sweeping system 151 constituted by a roll brush, a dust box, a fan, an air outlet, and connecting members therebetween. The rolling brush with certain interference with the ground sweeps the garbage on the ground and winds the garbage to the front of a dust suction opening between the rolling brush and the dust box, and then the garbage is sucked into the dust box by air which is generated by the fan and passes through the dust box and has suction force. The dust removal capability of the sweeper can be represented by the sweeping efficiency DPU (dust pick up efficiency), which is influenced by the structure and the material of the rolling brush, the wind power utilization rate of an air duct formed by a dust suction port, a dust box, a fan, an air outlet and connecting parts among the dust suction port, the dust box, the fan, the air outlet and the dust box, the type and the power of the fan, and is a responsible system design problem. Compared with the common plug-in dust collector, the improvement of the dust removal capability is more significant for the cleaning robot with limited energy. Because the improvement of the dust removal capability directly and effectively reduces the energy requirement, namely the machine which can clean the ground of 80 square meters by charging once can be developed into the machine which can clean 100 square meters or more by charging once. And the service life of the battery, which reduces the number of times of charging, is also greatly increased, so that the frequency of replacing the battery by the user is also increased. More intuitively and importantly, the improvement of the dust removal capability is the most obvious and important user experience, and the user can directly draw a conclusion whether the sweeping/wiping is clean. The dry cleaning system 150 can also include an edge brush 152 having an axis of rotation that is angled relative to the floor for moving debris into the roller brush area of the cleaning system.

Energy systems include rechargeable batteries, such as nickel metal hydride batteries and lithium batteries. The charging battery can be connected with a charging control circuit, a battery pack charging temperature detection circuit and a battery under-voltage monitoring circuit, and the charging control circuit, the battery pack charging temperature detection circuit and the battery under-voltage monitoring circuit are connected with the single chip microcomputer control circuit. The host computer is connected with the charging pile through the charging electrode arranged on the side or the lower part of the machine body for charging. If dust is attached to the exposed charging electrode, the plastic body around the electrode is melted and deformed due to the accumulation effect of electric charge in the charging process, even the electrode itself is deformed, and normal charging cannot be continued.

The human-computer interaction system 170 comprises keys on a panel of the host computer, and the keys are used for a user to select functions; the machine control system can further comprise a display screen and/or an indicator light and/or a loudspeaker, wherein the display screen, the indicator light and the loudspeaker show the current state or function selection item of the machine to a user; and a mobile phone client program can be further included. For the path navigation type cleaning equipment, a map of the environment where the equipment is located and the position of a machine can be displayed for a user at a mobile phone client, and richer and more humanized function items can be provided for the user.

To describe the behavior of the robot more clearly, the following directional definitions are made: the cleaning robot 100 can travel over the floor through various combinations of movements relative to the following three mutually perpendicular axes defined by the body 110: a front-back axis X, a lateral axis Y, and a central vertical axis Z. The forward driving direction along the forward-rearward axis X is denoted as "forward", and the rearward driving direction along the forward-rearward axis X is denoted as "rearward". The transverse axis Y extends substantially along the axis defined by the center points of the drive wheel modules 141 between the right and left wheels of the robot.

The cleaning robot 100 may rotate around the Y-axis. The "pitch up" is performed when the forward portion of the cleaning robot 100 is inclined upward and the backward portion is inclined downward, and the "pitch down" is performed when the forward portion of the cleaning robot 100 is inclined downward and the backward portion is inclined upward. In addition, the cleaning robot 100 may rotate about the Z-axis. In the forward direction of the robot, when the cleaning robot 100 is tilted to the right side of the X axis, it turns to the right, and when the cleaning robot 100 is tilted to the left side of the X axis, it turns to the left.

The cleaning robot 100 according to the current embodiment may include: a vision unit for identifying ground obstacles, a communication unit for communicating with a remote control device or other devices, a moving unit for driving the main body, a cleaning unit, and a memory unit for storing information. An input unit (keys of the cleaning robot, etc.), an object detection sensor, a charging unit, a microphone array unit, a direction detection unit, a position detection unit, a communication unit, a driving unit, and a memory, which may be connected to the control unit to transmit or receive predetermined information to or from the control unit.

The vision unit mainly performs the land object recognition and informs the cleaning robot 100 of the avoidance object type of the land object including but not limited to:

A. blocking obstacles: pet excrement, thick and thin cables, a weight scale, a bar chair and a curtain can cause the robot to be stuck or obstacles which are not suitable for cleaning;

b: the class object may be pushed by the cleaning robot 100: toys for children, extension plugs, slippers;

D. other sundries: and setting objects with the length larger than 8cm and the height or thickness larger than 1cm as sundries, and executing an avoidance strategy after identification. Background, illumination, angle are as above.

The direction detection unit transmits the detected direction of the voice to the control unit. The control unit may determine the moving path by using the voice direction detected by the direction detecting unit.

The position detection unit may detect coordinates of the subject within predetermined map information. In one embodiment, the information detected by the camera 21 and the map information stored in the memory unit may be compared with each other to detect the current position of the subject. The position detection unit may use a Global Positioning System (GPS) in addition to the camera 21.

In a broad sense, the position detection unit may detect whether the main body is disposed at a specific position. For example, the position detection unit may include a unit for detecting whether the main body is disposed on the charging pile.

For example, in the method for detecting whether the main body is disposed on the charging pile, whether the main body is disposed at the charging position may be detected according to whether power is input into the charging unit. For another example, whether the main body is disposed at the charging position may be detected by a charging position detecting unit disposed on the main body or the charging pile.

The communication unit may transmit/receive predetermined information to/from a remote control device or other devices. The communication unit may update map information of the cleaning robot.

The driving unit may operate the moving unit and the cleaning unit. The driving unit may move the moving unit along the moving path determined by the control unit.
