如图3C所示，上盖上还设置有相应的指示标记(如吸力低、吸力中和吸力高)，用来给用户指示真空吸力值大小的等级。
具体地，在擦窗机器人的工作过程中，根据检测到的真空吸力值点亮发光组件的相应发光区域，以对用户进行提醒。
举例来讲，如图4A至图4C所示，当判断真空吸力值处于最大时，控制所有的指示灯都亮(如图4A所示，即此时的发光区域为所有的指示灯)；当判断真空吸力值处于中间大小时，则控制一半的指示灯亮(如图4B所示，即此时的发光区域为一半数量的指示灯)；当判断真空吸力值处于最小时，只控制一个指示灯亮(如图4C所示，即此时的发光区域为一个指示灯)。因此，当擦窗机器人的真空吸力值动态的发生变化时，控制发光组件动态的发出对应状态的组合灯光，此种显示方式，方便用户实时监控擦窗机器人在工作时的真空吸力值大小，减少因无法监控真空吸力值而发生擦窗机器人突然掉落的风险，并且提高了擦窗机器人的智能化使用体验。
在本发明的另一个实施例中，擦窗机器人包括上盖，上盖由透明材料制成，发光组件设置在上盖下方。
具体地，当上盖整体由透明材料制成时，则可以不设置透明显示框，直接将发光组件设置在透明上盖的下方。
在本发明的另一个实施例中，擦窗机器人的控制方法，还包括：当检测到真空吸力值小于预设阈值时控制擦窗机器人发出语音提醒。
具体地，当判断擦窗机器人有掉落的可能时(即当真空吸力值小于预设阈值时)，控制擦窗机器人发出语音提醒，以提示用户潜在的危险。

此外，术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的，而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此，限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括至少一个该特征。在本发明的描述中，“多个”的含义是至少两个，例如两个，三个等，除非另有明确具体的限定。
在本发明中，除非另有明确的规定和限定，术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”、“固定”等术语应做广义理解，例如，可以是固定连接，也可以是可拆卸连接，或成一体；可以是 机械连接，也可以是电连接；可以是直接相连，也可以通过中间媒介间接相连，可以是两个元件内部的连通或两个元件的相互作用关系，除非另有明确的限定。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言，可以根据具体情况理解上述术语在本发明中的具体含义。
在本发明中，除非另有明确的规定和限定，第一特征在第二特征“上”或“下”可以是第一和第二特征直接接触，或第一和第二特征通过中间媒介间接接触。而且，第一特征在第二特征“之上”、“上方”和“上面”可是第一特征在第二特征正上方或斜上方，或仅仅表示第一特征水平高度高于第二特征。第一特征在第二特征“之下”、“下方”和“下面”可以是第一特征在第二特征正下方或斜下方，或仅仅表示第一特征水平高度小于第二特征。
在本说明书的描述中，参考术语“一个实施例”、“一些实施例”、“示例”、“具体示例”、或“一些示例”等的描述意指结合该实施例或示例描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点包含于本发明的至少一个实施例或示例中。在本说明书中，对上述术语的示意性表述不必须针对的是相同的实施例或示例。而且，描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点可以在任一个或多个实施例或示例中以合适的方式结合。此外，在不相互矛盾的情况下，本领域的技术人员可以将本说明书中描述的不同实施例或示例以及不同实施例或示例的特征进行结合和组合。
尽管上面已经示出和描述了本发明的实施例，可以理解的是，上述实施例是示例性的，不能理解为对本发明的限制，本领域的普通技术人员在本发明的范围内可以对上述实施例进行变化、修改、替换和变型。
