下面将结合附图对本发明的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
在本发明的描述中,需要说明的是,除非另有明确的规定和限定,术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”应做广义理解,例如,可以是固定连接,也可以是可拆卸连接,或一体地连接;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。本文所使用的术语“及/或”包括一个或多个相关的所列项目的任意的和所有的组合。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言,可以具体情况理解上述术语在本发明中的具体含义。本文中在本发明的说明书中所使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施例的目的,不是旨在于限制本发明。
下面结合附图1A至附图1B,详细描述本发明第一发明构思下的一种接近性自启动吸尘器及其控制方法的较佳实施方式。如图1A至附图1B所示,本发明的一种接近性自启动吸尘器上安装有传感器I-2,所述传感器I-2被进入所述传感器I-2检测范围内的待测物触发后向所述吸尘器的控制器发送检测信息,吸尘器的所述控制器包括接收单元、比较单元以及处理单元,其中所述接收单元用于接收所述传感器I-2发送过来的所述检测信息;所述比较单元用于将所述接收单元接收的所述检测信息与预设值比较或经过处理后与预设值比较,若比较结果符合预设值范围内时,向所述处理单元发出控制指令;所述处理单元用于接收并执行控制指令,控制所述吸尘器的电机工作。处理单元对电机工作的控制形式有多种,可以为控制所述吸尘器的电机工作预设时间后自动停止;也可以为控制所述吸尘器的电机间歇工作,即工作预设时间后暂停,隔一段时间后再工作预设时间;还可以为在通常情况下电机以小功率工作,在接收控制指令后以大功率工作。在本实施例中,优选控制所述吸尘器的电机工作预设时间后自动停止。
上述方案为本发明的核心方案,通过设置在吸尘器上的传感器I-2直接或间接的方式检测垃圾的接近,并在控制器判断垃圾进入吸尘器吸尘范围内时,自启动吸尘器的电机工作,因此,使得吸尘器使用起来更方便,由于是在垃圾进入吸尘器吸尘范围内才启动,而且电机启动预设时间后能够自动停止,因此,非常节能,不会在整个清扫过程中产生持续的噪音。
为了便于吸尘,至少一个吸尘口I-1设置在所述吸尘器的接近于地面的位置,优选所述传感器I-2设置于所述吸尘器的吸尘口的附近,所述传感器I-2的数量可以设置一个,也可以设置多个,传感器I-2可以设置于吸尘口I-1的上侧、下侧、左侧、右侧,优选传感器I-2设置于所述吸尘口I-1的上侧。
吸尘口I-1处可设置的传感器I-2的种类有多种,以下分多个实施例进行介绍:
实施例1
在本实施例1中,所述传感器I-2为距离传感器,所述距离传感器时时检测所述待测物距所述吸尘器的距离值并发送至所述控制器的所述接收单元,所述控制器的所述比较单元将所述距离传感器所检测的所述距离值与预设值比较或经过处理后与预设值比较,符合预设值范围内时,向所述控制器的所述处理单元发送指令,控制所述处理单元启动电机工作。待测物可以为垃圾,也可以为扫把或拖把等,优选所述待测物为扫把或拖把,这样在扫把或拖把清扫细小颗粒的灰尘时,能够通过感应扫把或拖把来控制电机启动。
在本实施例中,优选所述检测信息为所述距离传感器实时检测到一组距离值,通过所述控制器的所述比较单元的微分计算处理,获得
速度值V2,将速度值V2与所述比较单元内预设的速度值V3比较,当所述速度值V2大于速度值V3时,向所述处理单元发出控制指令,所述处理单元启动所述电机工作。进一步地,为了降低电机误启动的概率,优选所述距离传感器以其发射出的介质方向与水平面之间所形成的夹角为锐角的方式安装在所述吸尘器上,所述距离传感器发射的介质直接照射到地面上,并反射回所述距离传感器测得距离值L1,且所述传感器实时检测到的一组距离值均小于所述距离值L1。
此外,在其它实施例中,还可以优选所述检测信息为所述距离传感器实时测得待测物进入所述距离传感器测量区域的距离值L2,所述距离传感器以其发射出的介质方向与水平面之间所形成的夹角为锐角的方式安装在所述吸尘器上,所述距离传感器发射的介质直接照射到地面上,并反射回所述距离传感器测得距离值L1;
所述控制器的所述比较单元内预设有距离值L3,所述距离值L3小于或等于所述距离值L1;所述控制器的所述比较单元通过比较距离值L2与距离值L3的大小,当距离值L2小于距离值L3时,向所述处理单元发出控制指令,所述处理单元启动所述电机工作。
上述两种实施方式中,由于限定了检测待测物的实时距离值必须小于距离值L1,才有可能启动电机工作,因此,能够将触发启动电机的区域范围缩小,从而能够降低外界因素对电机误启动的概率,使得吸尘器的自启动更为准确。相对而言,第一种方式能够更为准确地判断是否启动电机工作。
优选所述夹角为20°-70°。在本实施例1中,所述距离传感器为红外距离传感器,或激光距离传感器,或超声波距离传感器。
实施例2
在本实施例2中,所述传感器I-2为电磁感应传感器,所述待测物上设有能够自身产生电磁信号的电磁信号产生件,所述电磁感应传感器检测到所述电磁信号产生件产生的磁场强度信息,并将所述磁场强度信息发送至所述控制器的所述接收单元,所述比较单元将所述磁场强度信息与预设磁场强度值比较,若所述磁场强度信息大于预设磁场强度值时,向所述控制器的所述处理单元发出控制指令,所述处理单元启动所述电机工作。优选所述待测物为扫把或拖把。所述电磁信号产生件为安装在扫把或拖把上的磁条或电子标签。所述电磁感应传感器优选为霍尔传感器,或无线射频传感器。
实施例3

实施例4
在本实施例4中,所述传感器I-2为重力传感器,所述吸尘口I-1前端还设有感应平台,所述感应平台检测出待测物的重量信息,并将所述重量信息发送至所述控制器的接收单元,所述控制器的比较单元将所述重量信息与预设重量值比较,若所述重量信息大于预设重量值时,向所述控制器的处理单元发送控制指令,所述处理单元启动所述电机工作。在本实施例中,待测物为垃圾。
本发明的一种控制吸尘器自启动吸尘的方法,包括
检测步骤:通过设置在吸尘器上的传感器检测待测物,所述传感器被待测物触发后向所述吸尘器的控制器发送检测信息;
判断执行步骤:所述控制器将所述传感器发送过来的所述检测信息与预设值比较或经过处理后与预设值比较,若比较结果符合预设值范围内时,控制所述吸尘器的电机工作。
在本实施例中优选所述传感器为距离传感器,所述检测信息为所述距离传感器时时检测待测物距吸尘器的距离值。下面以两种优选实施方式对本发明的一种控制吸尘器自启动吸尘的方法进行具体介绍:
第一种方式
所述检测信息为所述距离传感器实时检测到的一组距离值;所述判断执行步骤为:所述控制器对该组距离值进行微分计算处理,获得速度值V2,将速度值V2与所述控制器内预设的速度值V3比较,当所述速度值V2大于速度值V3时,启动所述电机工作。进一步地,为了降低电机的误启动概率,优选所述距离传感器以其发射出的介质方向与水平面之间所形成的夹角为锐角的方式安装在所述吸尘器上,所述距离传感器发射的介质直接照射到地面上,并反射回所述距离传感器测得距离值L1,所述判断执行步骤中对该组距离值进行微分计算处理前还包括初步判断步骤,该初步判断步骤为将该组距离值与所述距离值L1比较,若该组距离值小于所述距离值L1时,所述控制器对该组距离值开始进行微分计算处理。
第二种方式
所述距离传感器以其发射出的介质方向与水平面之间所形成的夹角为锐角的方式安装在所述吸尘器上,所述距离传感器发射的介质直接照射到地面上,并反射回所述距离传感器测得距离值L1;
所述检测信息为所述距离传感器实时测得待测物进入所述距离传感器测量区域的距离值L2,所述判断执行步骤为所述控制器内预设有距离值L3,且所述距离值L3小于或等于所述距离值L1步骤,所述控制器通过比较距离值L2与距离值L3的大小,当距离值L2小于距离值L3时,启动所述电机工作。
下面结合附图2A-附图2I,详细描述本发明第二发明构思下的自启动吸尘系统的较佳实施方式。
实施例1
请参考图2A,揭示了一种吸尘系统II-100,其包括机壳II-110、风机II-120、电机II-130、控制单元II-140。吸尘系统II-100是一种自启动吸尘系统,其在受到外部事件触发时自动启动吸尘作业。具体地,控制单元II-140用以控制电机II-130的工作。吸尘系统II-100具有手动模式和自启动模式。其中自启动模式下,控制单元II-140用以接收外部信息,并在判断外部信息满足预定条件时启动电机II-130并延时一段时间后关闭;外部信息不满足预定条件时,控制单元II-140控制所述电机II-130不启动,由此实现自启动吸尘的功能,极大地方便了使用者。使用者只需要控制吸尘器移动即可方便地进行清洁作业。
风机II-120用以产生吸尘用的气流。电机II-130用以提供使风机II-120工作的旋转动力。风机II-120、电机II-130均内置在机壳II-110中。给电机II-130供电的电源可以是外部电源,电机II-130通过电源线与外部电源连接。给电机II-130供电的电源也可以是连接在机壳II-110上的电池包。当电源是电池包时,电池包内的电池可以采用多个可充电式电池。可充电式电池可以采用镍镉、镍氢、锂离子、铅蓄、
铁锂等充电电池。电池包也可以是内置在机壳II-110中,利于提高机壳II-110外观的美感。
参考图2B,机壳II-110设置有集尘通道II-112、第一进风风道II-113和第二进风风道II-114。风机II-120可以置于集尘通道II-112中或机壳II-110中的其他位置,只要保证使集尘通道II-112产生吸力即可。集尘通道II-112的一端同时与第一进风风道II-113和第二进风风道II-114相连通,三者构成一个类似三通管的结构。
第一进风风道II-113和第二进风风道II-114均可以用于吸尘,使吸尘系统II-100能够利用不同的风道进行吸尘。其中第一进风风道II-113设置有第一端口II-1132,可用作吸尘入口;第二进风风道1134设置有第二端口II-1142,可用作吸尘入口。集尘通道II-112的另一端用以连接集尘杯、集尘袋、集尘箱等集尘设备。
参考图2B,吸尘系统II-100还包括与机壳II-110组配在一起的切换部件II-150,用以切换第一进风风道II-113与第二进风风道II-114,使第一进风风道II-113和第二进风风道II-114择一地与集尘通道II-112相连通,由此达到切换进风风道的目的。
切换部件II-150包括相对机壳II-110活动设置的活动件II-152。常态下,参考图2B,活动件II-152处于机壳II-110内部遮蔽第一进风风道II-113的位置,使第一进风风道II-113与集尘通道II-112相隔离,此时第二端口II-1142作为吸尘入口使用,气流走向参图2B中箭头所示。当活动件II-152受力时,其可相对机壳II-110运动,具体地,参考图2C,活动件II-152从遮蔽第一进风风道II-113的位置运动至遮蔽第二进风风道II-114的位置,使第二进风风道II-114与集尘通道II-112相隔离,而第一进风风道II-113与集尘通道II-112相连通,此
时第一端口II-1132作为吸尘入口使用,气流走向参图2B中箭头所示。这样,就达到了切换风道的目的,使吸尘系统II-100具备两种工作模式。活动件II-152在第一进风风道II-113与第二进风风道II-114之间运动,其运动方式可以为滑动或转动。
参考图2B和图2C,第一进风风道II-113用以连接外部延长管II-160。本实施例中,切换部件II-150被设置为:当外部延长管II-160与第一进风风道II-113配接时,外部延长管II-160同时还触发切换部件II-150,使得切换部件II-150将第二进风风道II-114与集尘通道II-112相连通切换为第一进风风道II-113与集尘通道II-112相连通。
换言之,外部延长管II-160与第一进风风道II-113配接时,如外部延长管II-160采用插入的方式与第一进风风道II-113连接,当外部延长管II-160插入第一进风风道II-113的过程中,外部延长管II-160逐步推动切换部件II-150的活动件II-152自遮蔽第一进风风道II-113的位置运动至遮蔽第二进风风道II-114的位置。
由此,本实施例在连接外部延长管II-160的同时即实现风道的切换,提供了一种自动切换风道的方式,使用者无需再进行其他的切换动作,提高了使用的便利性,提高工作效率。
此外,活动件II-152与机壳II-110之间还可以设置有弹性件(未图示)。弹性件提供使活动件II-152保持在遮蔽第一进风风道II-113的位置的弹性力。当外部延长管II-160作用于活动件II-152时,活动件II-152克服弹性件的阻力(拉力或弹力)后运动。当外部延长管II-160从第一进风风道II-113上取下后,作用于活动件II-152的外力消失,活动件II-152在弹性件的作用下自动回到原来的位置。弹性件优先采用压簧或扭簧,提供使活动件II-152通过直线运动或转动运动
回复原来的位置的力。
利用外部延长管II-160可以满足用户在不同场景下的不同作业需求。例如,第二进风风道II-114可以设定为贴近地面,此时该第二进风风道II-114较难配接外部管道。当需要清理一些特殊场合时,如沙发角落、缝隙,在第一进风风道II-113配接外部延长管II-160,可以使吸尘系统II-100能够开始利用第一进气气道113进行吸尘。
外部延长管II-160优选使用为柔性管,可以方便地弯曲,以便扩大作业范围,能够伸到一些常规吸尘设备难以达到的场合;同时,还不需要对第二进风风道II-114的位置进行改变,使第二进风风道II-114可以仍然主要用以直行地面的清洁作业。
机壳II-110的外部还可设置有容置外部延长管II-160的存储区II-115。存储区II-115可以是柱状物,供外部延长管II-160卷曲后挂在上面。存储区II-115也可以是卡扣,用以将外部延长管II-160的端部卡在机壳II-110外部。从而,外部延长管II-160与机壳II-110一起携带,使用便利。
本实施例中,设置第一进风风道II-113与第二进风风道II-114,提供了两种工作模式。进一步地,第二进风风道II-114可以设定为在自启动模式下工作;第一进风风道II-113由于是承担一些非常规的清洁作业,其可设定为在手动模式下工作。第一、第二的定义及其使用目的,只是相对而言,可灵活设置。
为此,机壳II-110上还设置有手动调节档位117。控制单元II-140被配置为:当第二进风风道II-114与集尘通道II-112相连通时,控制单元II-140才能够接收外部信息在外部信息满足预定条件时启动电机II-130,而当切换部件II-150切换为第一进风风道II-113与集尘通
道II-112相连通时,控制单元II-140则根据手动调节档位117的档位信息控制电机II-130的工作。
换言之,当外部延长管II-160与第一进风风道II-113连接时,一方面,外部延长管II-160触发切换部件II-150以实现风道切换;另一方面还能自动实现自启动模式至手动模式的转换,使用者无需再另外执行切换工作模式的作业。当然,也可以是由使用者另外执行切换工作模式的作业,例如在机壳II-110的外部设置模式转换开关,外部延长管II-160与第一进风风道II-113连接后,使用者再触发一次模式转换开关即可。
手动模式具有常开状态。具体地,手动调节档位117至少包括一常开档位。此时,可以是只有一个常开档位,意思是:第一进风风道II-113与集尘通道II-112相连通时,控制单元II-140控制电机II-130持续工作,直到外部延长管II-160自第一进风风道II-113上移除,第一进风风道II-113与集尘通道II-112相隔离。
手动调节档位还可以进一步包括停止档位。常开档位可以是包括多个级别的档位。第一进风风道II-113与集尘通道II-112相连通时,需要使用者先手动操作手动调节档位的旋钮或按钮,然后控制单元II-140再根据对应的档位启动并控制电机II-130的转速。
控制单元II-140包括外部信息接收电路和手动调节档位控制电路。切换部件II-150切换为第一进风风道II-113与集尘通道II-112相连通时,外部延长管II-160使切换部件II-150运动时使外部信息接收电路断开,并使手动调节档位控制电路导通。由此达到切换工作模式的目的。外部信息接收电路和手动调节档位控制电路的断开及导通,可以通过设置微动开关、波动开关等适合的方式来实现电路的断
开及导通,不再详述。
外部延长管II-160与第一进风风道II-113连接时还能自动实现自启动模式至手动模式的转换。其中,可以是外部延长管II-160插入的同时,外部延长管II-160自身的运动实现外部信息接收电路和手动调节档位控制电路的断开及导通;还可以是外部延长管II-160使切换部件II-150运动,切换部件II-150的运动实现外部信息接收电路和手动调节档位控制电路的断开及导通。
本实施例中,吸尘系统II-100实现自启动功能,通过在机壳II-110外部设置传感器实现。其中,传感器将检测到的机壳附近的障碍物的距离参数、障碍物靠近机壳II-110的速度参数或障碍物靠近机壳II-110的加速度参数等发送给控制单元II-140,控制单元II-140预设有阈值,当距离小于阈值时,所述控制单元II-140启动电机II-130。或当速度、加速度大于阀值时,控制单元II-140启动电机II-130。
该传感器可以为激光距离传感器,该激光传感器利用激光扫描机壳II-110的一侧是否有垃圾、灰尘等障碍物,当激光距离传感器扫描到垃圾的距离小于设定距离时,控制单元II-140便控制电机II-130进行工作,清除该杂物。
该传感器也可以为超声波距离传感器,该超声波距离传感器利用超声波检测机壳II-110一侧垃圾的距离,当小于设定距离时,控制单元II-140便控制电机II-130进行工作,清除该杂物。
该传感器可以是速度传感器或者加速度传感器。当该传感器检测到障碍物扫把的作用下可能将较快地接近机壳II-110时,则控制单元II-140启动电机II-130,做好吸尘的准备或将灰尘吸入集尘袋中。
实施例2
请参考图2D和图2E,揭示了一种吸尘系统II-200,与吸尘系统II-100相似,其为自启动吸尘系统,自启动原理与实施例1的吸尘系统II-100相同,本实施例不再赘述,下面仅重点介绍与实施例1的区别。
吸尘系统II-200包括机壳II-210、风机、控制单元、切换部件II-250,其中为简化描述,风机、控制单元等省略示出和描述。
参考图2D,机壳II-210设置有集尘通道II-212、第一进风风道II-213和第二进风风道II-214。集尘通道II-212的一端同时与第一进风风道II-213和第二进风风道II-214相连通,三者构成一个类似三通管的结构。第一进风风道II-213和第二进风风道II-214均可以用于吸尘,使吸尘系统II-200能够利用不同的风道进行吸尘。其中第一进风风道II-213设置有第一端口II-2132,可用作吸尘入口;第二进风风道2134设置有第二端2142,可用作吸尘入口。集尘通道II-212的另一端用以连接集尘杯、集尘袋、集尘箱等集尘设备。
切换部件II-250包括相对机壳II-210活动设置的活动件II-252。常态下,参考图2D,活动件II-252处于机壳II-210内部遮蔽第一进风风道II-213的位置,使第一进风风道II-213与集尘通道II-212相隔离,第二端口II-2142作为吸尘入口使用,气流走向参图2D中箭头所示。参考图2E,活动件II-252从遮蔽第一进风风道II-213的位置运动至遮蔽第二进风风道II-214的位置,使第二进风风道II-214与集尘通道II-212相隔离,而第一进风风道II-213与集尘通道II-212相连通,第一端口II-2132作为吸尘入口使用,气流走向参图2E中箭头所示。这样,就达到了切换气道的目的,使吸尘系统II-200具备两种工作模式。
机壳II-210的外部可动连接有操作件II-254,操作件II-254相对于机壳II-210运动时带动活动件II-252运动。
实施例2中,切换部件II-250为转动连接在机壳II-110上的旋钮,其中旋钮具有伸入机壳II-210内部的部分并构成前述的活动件II-252,旋钮还具有位于机壳1210外部可供扳动的部分以构成前述的操作件。换言之,活动件II-252与操作件II-254为组接在一起或为一体设置,通过转动操作件II-254带动活动件II-252在活动件II-252在第一进风风道II-213与第二进风风道II-214之间运动。活动件II-252、操作件II-254也可以被设置为,当操作该操作件II-254时,操作件II-254带动活动件II-252滑动。
与实施例1中可以直接利用外部延长管II-160实现风道切换相比,实施例2中,是使用者来操作切换部件II-250,进而实现风道切换,不需要借助外部延长管。因此,吸尘系统II-200还包括外部延长管II-260,且其可以固定连接在第一进风风道II-213上。这样,使用者不需要每次进行将外部延长管II-260与第一进风风道II-213连接的动作,只需要操作切换部件II-250即可。
进一步地,实施例2中,切换部件II-250被操作时,切换部件II-250同时还可以实现自启动模式至手动模式的转换。换言之,切换部件II-250被操作时,既可以实现风道切换,还可以实现工作模式的转换。
自启动模式至手动模式的转换的原理如下:切换部件II-250切换为第一进风风道II-213与集尘通道II-212相连通时,切换部件II-250运动时使外部信息接收电路断开,并使手动调节档位控制电路导通。由此达到切换工作模式的目的。
图2D和图2E中,活动件II-252为一个挡板,通过自身位置的改变达到切换气道的目的。参考图2F和图2G,活动件II-252也可以是一个能够转动地配置在机壳II-210内部的元件,该活动件II-252具有一内部通道II-2522。
参图2F,活动件II-252在机壳II-210内具有第一位置,内部通道II-2522连通第一进风风道II-213与集尘通道II-212,且第二进风风道II-214与集尘通道II-212不相通,此时第一端口II-2132作为吸尘入口使用。参图2G,活动件II-252在机壳II-210内具有相较第一位置转动一定角度的第二位置,内部通道II-2522连通第二进风风道II-214与集尘通道II-212,且第一进风风道II-213与集尘通道II-212不相通,此时第二端口II-2142作为吸尘入口使用。
进一步地,机壳II-210内部还设置有限制活动件II-252转动范围的阻挡部II-215。阻挡部II-215也可以是设置在机壳II-210外部通过限制操作件II-254来限制活动件II-252的转动范围。转动活动件II-252时,操作者只要保证活动件II-252无法再转动时即可保证内部通道II-2522起到切换气道的作用。
实施例3
请参考图2H和图2I,揭示了一种吸尘系统II-300,与吸尘系统II-100相似,其为自启动吸尘系统,自启动原理与实施例1的吸尘系统II-100相同。
吸尘系统II-300包括风机II-320、电机II-330、控制单元(未图示)、集尘箱II-340、切换部件II-350。
风机II-320和电机II-330集成在一起,然后风机II-320通过进风管路II-322与集尘箱II-340连通。集尘箱II-340内设有集尘通道
II-342和过滤装置II-343,其中集尘通道II-342的一端与外界相通,另一端则通过该过滤装置II-343与进风管路II-322隔离。过滤装置II-343不影响气流通过但会阻止灰尘等杂物,这样,由集尘通道II-342进入集尘箱II-340内部的灰尘无法进入进风管路II-322,将落在集尘箱II-340的底板上从而被收集。
风机II-320和电机II-330集成在一起,二者的外部固定有第一进风风道II-313和第二进风风道II-314,其中第一进风风道II-313设有可以作为吸尘入口使用的第一端口II-3132,第二进风风道II-314设有可以作为吸尘入口使用的第二端口II-3142。
本实施例中,第一进风风道II-313的一端与集尘通道II-342连接在一起,二者保持连通状态。第二进风风道II-314则不与集尘通道II-342连接,二者不保持连通状态。
参考图2H,第一进风风道II-313与集尘通道II-342连通,第一端口II-3132作为吸尘入口使用。第二进风风道II-314的两个端口(其中一个端口为第二端口II-3142)均闲置。
参图2I,当要改变吸尘入口时,以满足不同的使用环境时,使用切换部件II-350将第二进风风道II-314的一端口(第二端口II-3142以外的另一个,第二端口II-3142为进风口时,另一端口为出口)与第一端口II-3132连通,此时第二端口II-3142将被作为吸尘入口使用,携带灰尘的气流从第二端口II-3142进入,先经过第二进风风道II-314,再经过第一进风风道II-313,然后经过集尘通道II-342进入集尘箱II-340内部并被收集。
本实施例中,切换部件II-350为管路,优先使用柔性管。进一步地,该柔性管可以一直连接在第一端口II-3132上。当需要利用第二
端口II-3142将作为吸尘入口使用时,只需要将柔性管的自由端与第二进风风道II-314连接即可,即图2I所示,以简化操作。
类似地,吸尘系统II-300被设置为:第一端口II-3132作为吸尘入口使用时,控制单元处于手动模式。而当切换部件II-350连接第二进风风道II-314的一端口与第一端口II-3132时,控制单元进入自启动模式。此处的控制方式与实施例1相同。
切换部件II-350还被配置为:切换吸尘入口时能自动实现由手动模式至自启动模式的转换。例如,可以在第二进风风道II-314的另一端口上设置压力传感器,这样,该端口上有管道插入时,控制单元即可收到需要切换工作模式的信息。又如,该端口也可以设置接近传感器,用以检测是否有管道插入。
反过来,压力传感器或接近传感器通过感知柔性管的拔出或离开,可以实现由自启动模式至手动模式的转换。
第一端口II-3132和第二端口II-3142的进风方向不同,本实施例中,二者完全相反,相当于转动了180度。第一端口II-3132和第二端口II-3142可满足用户在不同场景下的不同作业需求。第一端口II-3132可以设定为贴近地面,当需要清理一些特殊场合时,如沙发角落、缝隙,使切换部件II-350从第二进风风道II-314上移除即可。具体情况则可以根据使用目的、机器外形等因素灵活配置和设定。利用第一端口II-3132作为吸尘入口时,也可以加上柔性管使用,其他延长管道的目的。
以上所述实施例的各技术特征可以进行任意的组合,为使描述简洁,未对上述实施例中的各个技术特征所有可能的组合都进行描述,
然而,只要这些技术特征的组合不存在矛盾,都应当认为是本说明书记载的范围。
下面结合附图3A至附图3C,详细描述本发明第三发明构思下的吸尘系统的较佳实施方式。结合图3A至图3C所示,本发明公开了一种吸尘系统III-10,该吸尘系统III-10包括吸尘组件III-100及充电基座III-200,一般吸尘组件III-100包括工作单元III-110及电池包III-120,其中该电池包III-120可用于给工作单元III-110提供工作电压,使工作单元III-110能够持续的进行工作。具体地,上述工作单元III-110一般包括集尘通道、风扇及电机,风扇设置集尘通道内,电机具有一驱动轴,风扇设置在该驱动轴的一端,电机通过驱动轴驱动上述风扇进行转动,进而产生轴向流动的气流,以达到吸尘等清洁效果。
当工作单元III-110工作一段时间后,由于电能的消耗,电池包III-120即将或者已经无法支持电机继续工作,这时需要操作者将吸尘组件III-100接触或接近充电基座III-200,使充电基座100对吸尘系统200充电。
该充电基座III-200包括充电模块III-210,当吸尘组件III-100位于该基座100上时,并需要充电基座III-200对其充电时,该充电模块III-210便210给上述电池包III-120充电,具体地,该充电模块III-210包括一充电接口,当吸尘组件III-100接触充电基座III-200后,充电接口便与吸尘组件III-100进行对接,供电电源通过充电基座及该充电接口对吸尘组件III-100的电池包III-120提供充电电压。一般地,充电接口设置在充电基座III-200的顶部,吸尘组件III-100与充电基座III-200的充电接口对接的对接口设置在吸尘组件III-100的底
部,且充电基座III-200的上表面的形状与吸尘组件III-100的底面的形状相匹配,当吸尘组件III-100位于充电基座III-200上时,吸尘组件III-100的对接口的位置正好与充电基座III-200的充电接口相对应,使吸尘组件III-100的电池包III-120通过该充电接口接收驱动电压,并对其电池包III-120充电,电池包向上述电机提供直流工作电压。
一般用于给上述电池包III-120充电的供电电源为220V的家用交流电,而220V的家用交流电的供电电源是无法直接对电池包III-120直接进行充电。为此,该充电模块III-210还包括一个转换单元,该转换单元可将供电电源的22V-的家用交流电转换为适于给上述电池包III-120充电的充电电压,例如是直流12V电压。
该充电基座III-200还包括驱动电源模块III-220,当吸尘组件III-100与充电基座III-200对接后,该驱动电源模块III-220也可与工作单元III-110的电机电性连接,并用于连接供电电源,这样当吸尘组件III-100的电池包III-120在充电的同时,需要该吸尘组件III-100工作时,该驱动电源模块III-220便可直接对吸尘组件III-100的工作单元III-110的电机的工作提供工作电压。
当吸尘组件III-100与充电基座III-200对接后,控制模块III-130分别与上述充电模块III-210及驱动电源模块III-220电性连接,该控制模块III-130可使电池包III-120及驱动电源模块III-220择一地为上述工作单元III-110的电机提供工作电压。详细地说,该控制模块III-130可设置在上述吸尘组件III-100内,也可设置在充电基座III-200内,本实施方式中以控制模块III-130在吸尘组件III-100中为例,该控制模块III-130可通过检测充电基座III-200的充电模块
III-210是否处于工作状态,即电池包III-120是否处于充电状态,控制驱动电源模块III-220是否对工作单元III-110进行供电,当检测到充电模块III-210处于工作状态,控制模块III-130控制驱动电源模块III-220对吸尘组件III-100的工作单元III-110进行供电,并控制电池包III-120停止对工作单元III-110供电;反之,当检测到充电模块III-210处于非工作状态时,控制模块III-130控制电池包对工作单元III-110供电。更详细地说,上述控制模块III-130可包括感应单元,该感应单元可通过检测上述充电模块III-210的充电接口是否与吸尘组件III-100的对接口是否对接,判断电池包处于是否处于充电状态。例如该感应单元为一个或多个接触传感器,这些接触传感器可设置在接近充电接口的位置,当充电接口与吸尘组件III-100对接时,该接触传感器便检测到电池包III-120处于充电状态,此时当吸尘组件III-100需要工作时,上述控制模块III-130便控制驱动电源模块III-220为工作单元III-110的电机提供工作电压;相反,当充电接口与上述吸尘组件III-100分离时,该接触传感器便可检测电池包III-120处于非充电状态,此时,当吸尘组件III-100需要工作时,上述控制模块III-130便控制电池包III-120为工作单元III-110的电机提供工作电压。
当然,上述感应单元除了可为接触传感器,也可为其他的感应装置,例如电流传感器,该电流传感器电性连接在接近充电接口的电路中,当充电接口与充电基座III-200的对接口对接时,供电电源通过该充电接口对电池包进行充电,该电流传感器便检测到
当上述驱动电源模块III-220可以包括降压单元(图未示),该降压单元可用于接收来自供电电源的驱动电压(例如交流电220V),并
将该驱动电压转换为可使上述工作单元III-110的电机工作的工作电压(例如36V)。并且上述驱动电源模块III-220可向上述电机提供交流工作电压。
这样,在吸尘组件III-100的电池包III-120在充电的状态需要吸尘组件III-100进行工作时,控制模块III-130便可控制驱动电源模块III-220为工作单元III-110提供工作电压,这样便避免电池包III-120处于边充电边放电的状态,大大增加了上述电池包III-120的寿命。
详细的说,上述实施例中的吸尘系统III-10的一侧设置有距离传感器,该距离传感器可设置吸尘组件III-100上,可也设置在充电基座III-200上,例如,该距离传感器设置在充电基座III-200的接近底部的侧边,当充电基座III-200的具有距离传感器的一侧具有垃圾、灰尘等杂物时,便控制上述吸尘组件III-100进行工作,将位于充电基座III-200一侧的垃圾清除,这样,即使吸尘系统在充电的状态下,工作人员只要将清扫的垃圾杂物处理到充电基座的周边,该吸尘系统便可将该垃圾杂物收集并清除,简化了工作人员的清扫程序。
该距离传感器可以为激光传感器,该激光传感器利用激光扫描吸尘系统III-10的一侧是否有垃圾、灰尘等杂物,当激光传感器扫描到垃圾时,便控制吸尘组件III-100进行工作,清除该杂物。
该距离传感器可以为超声波传感器,该超声波传感器利用超声波测量吸尘系统III-10离垃圾之间的距离,当小于设定距离时,便控制吸尘组件III-100进行工作,清除该杂物。
上述控制模块III-130控制驱动电源模块III-220对提供吸尘组件III-100的工作单元III-110的提供工作电压的同时,也可控制充电模块III-210对电池包以慢充电的形式进行充电,采用慢充充电模式降
低了对充电组件的性能要求,充电模块成本低,从而降低了吸尘系统III-10的成本。
上述吸尘系统III-10利用充电基座III-200对吸尘组件III-100进行充电的同时,吸尘组件III-100还可利用驱动电源模块III-220为工作单元III-110提供工作电压,使吸尘组件III-100可继续进行工作,上述驱动电源模块III-220可直接对吸尘组件III-100,无需吸尘组件III-100内的电池包III-120处于边充电、边放电的状态,这样便可避免电池包III-120因边充电边工作而对电池包III-120造成的伤害,进而增加电池包III-120的使用寿命。
下面结合附图4A至附图4E,详细描述本发明第四发明构思下的吸尘系统的较佳实施方式。在一个实施例中,请参考图4A,本实施方式揭示了一种吸尘系统IV-100,该吸尘系统IV-100可以在工作环境中进行清洁工作,该吸尘系统IV-100包括壳体、风机IV-121、电机IV-122、识别单元IV-130、误启动检测单元IV-140及控制单元IV-150。风机IV-121用以产生吸尘用的气流,电机IV-122用以提供使风机IV-121工作的动力。电机IV-122、识别单元IV-130、误启动检测单元IV-140可以与控制单元IV-150进行数据交换,并且控制单元140可以控制电机IV-122、识别单元IV-130、误启动检测单元IV-140的状态。
电机IV-122可以设置在壳体内,电机IV-122与风机IV-121连接。控制单元IV-150控制该电机IV-122进入工作模式,电机IV-122驱动风机IV-121工作,尘屑等可以通过设置在壳体上开设的吸尘口进入相应的集尘袋中,当控制单元IV-150控制该电机IV-122进入停机模式时,该电机IV-122停止工作,吸尘系统IV-100停止吸尘工作。该
吸尘系统还可以设置其他相应的清洁工作模块,从而实现不同的清洁任务。这些情节工作模块可以为打扫模块或清洗模块等,这些清洁工作模块可以与风机IV-121相互配合,使得吸尘系统IV-100具有复合工作方式。
在其他实施例中,风机IV-121可以和打扫模块相结合,两者同时工作,打扫模块将尘屑等收集到吸风口附近,电机IV-122驱动风机IV-121工作将附近的尘屑等吸取。风机IV-121还可以和清洗模块相结合,清洗模块利用高压水流等将附着在地面的尘屑等剥离,然后电机IV-122驱动风机IV-121工作将附近的尘屑等吸取。当然,也可以将风机、打扫模块、清洗模块三者相结合,完成相应的清洁任务。本领域技术人员可以理解的是,吸尘系统IV-100除了具有吸尘功能的电机IV-122和风机IV-121以外,还可以包括其他具有清洁效果的清洁工作模块,还可以将其任意组合,完成相应的清洁任务。同样的,控制单元IV-150可以控制这些模块的组合的工作状态,控制单元IV-150可以同时控制这些模块进入工作模式或停机模式,控制单元IV-150也可以分别独立控制这些模块进入相应的工作模式或停机模式。
识别单元IV-130用以检测外部信息,控制单元IV-150可以接收外部信息。控制单元IV-150判断外部信息是否满足识别条件。若外部信息满足识别条件时,说明识别单元IV-130识别到需要吸尘处理的尘屑等;若外部信息不满足识别条件时,说明识别单元IV-130并未识别到需要吸尘处理的尘屑等。
识别单元IV-130可以检测壳体附近的障碍物的距离或障碍物靠近壳体的速度或障碍物靠近壳体的加速度,控制单元IV-150预设有
相应的距离阈值或速度阈值或加速度阈值,当识别单元IV-130检测到的相应的距离小于距离阈值时或速度大于速度阈值或加速度大于加速度阀值时,控制单元IV-150判断外部信息满足识别条件。
在本实施方式中,可以将可能需要吸尘系统需要处理的障碍物定义为标识物,识别单元IV-130可以识别标识物或标识物的状态的改变,识别条件可以根据识别精确性、识别范围等要求来进行设置,其可以为固定范围或人工进行手动调节或根据不同要求进行自动调节。识别单元IV-130可以设置在吸尘口的附近,识别单元IV-130在检测标识物或标识物的状态时,由于吸尘口处于识别单元IV-130的附近,清洁单元120就可以清洁大部分相应的标识物或者标识物产生的尘屑等,提高吸尘效率。该电机IV-122驱动风机IV-121工作一定时间后,控制单元IV-150控制电机IV-122处于停机模式,也可以通过识别单元IV-130发送至控制单元IV-150的外部信息是否满足识别条件,控制单元IV-150来控制电机IV-122是否处于停机模式。
当该识别单元IV-130通过识别标识物来发送检测到的外部信息,该识别单元可以为红外传感器、激光传感器、超声波传感器等,这些传感器具有一定发射距离的发射器以及相应的接收器,当这些发射器发射相应的电磁波碰到标识物,如尘埃、纸屑等,电磁波可以相应的反射,被接收器接收,从而识别单元IV-130识别到标识物。识别单元IV-130也可以为电磁感应传感器,其包括霍尔传感器、无线射频传感器等,这些电磁感应式传感器具有一定的识别距离,将能够被电磁式传感器识别的标识物如磁条或电子标签安装在扫把或拖把上。当带有标识物的物体进入识别距离内,电磁感应传感器便可发送相应的识别信号,控制单元IV-150判断该识别信号与识别信号范围的关系。
当然,标识物还可以为其他形式,根据标识物的不同识别单元IV-130可以为不同的传感装置。
当该识别单元IV-130通过识别标识物的状态改变来发送识别信号时,该识别单元IV-130可以包括距离传感器,距离传感器可以为红外距离传感器、激光距离传感器、超声波距离传感器等,这些距离传感器可以测量得到待测物体的距离,通过待测物体的距离的发生改变,例如该待测物体的距离越来也靠近识别单元IV-130等来发送识别信号,同样的,控制单元来判断该识别信号与识别信号范围的关系。识别单元IV-130还可以为空气颗粒传感器、微压力传感器、重力传感器等,其相应的可以采集相应的空气颗粒浓度的变化、空气颗粒压力的变化、工作环境中垃圾的压力变化发送相应的识别信号,本领域技术人员应当知晓相应的工作原理,在此不再赘述。
误启动检测单元IV-140用以检测工作环境的状态,控制单元IV-150判断工作环境的状态是否满足误启动出发条件。若工作环境满足误启动触发条件时,说明误启动检测单元IV-140检测到的工作环境的状态并不适合工作;若工作环境不满足误启动触发条件时,说明误启动检测单元IV-140检测到的工作环境的状态并适合工作。误启动触发条件可以根据工作环境的状态精确性、检测范围等要求来设置,其可以为固定范围或人工进行手动调节或根据不同要求进行自动调节。
当控制单元IV-150接收到的外部信息满足识别条件,工作环境不满足误启动触发条件时,说明识别单元IV-130识别到了需要清洁处理的物质,并且该工作环境适合进行相应的清洁工作,控制单元IV-150控制电机IV-122进入工作模式,否则进入停机模式。
在另一实施例中,请参考图4B和图4C,该误启动检测单元包括光检测子单元IV-141,光检测子单元IV-141用以检测工作环境中光线的强度,控制单元IV-150接收光检测子单元IV-141发送的数据。在本实施例中,误启动触发条件为工作环境中光线的强度小于光强度开启阈值。控制单元IV-150通过判断工作环境中光线的强度与光强度开启阈值的大小,来判断工作环境是否满足误启动触发条件。在此,该吸尘系统IV-100通过工作环境中的光线的强度来判断时间,一般,白天工作环境光线的强度较强,晚上工作环境光线的强度较弱。更进一步的,白天和晚上,工作环境中,可见光波段的光线的强度区别较为明显,在本实施方式中,光检测子单元IV-141可以只检测光线的波段为可见光波段的光线,并检测该波段内的光线的强度。控制单元IV-150设置的光强开启阈值可以根据不同地理位置、不同日期等来确定,当控制单元IV-150接收的光线的强度小于该光强开启阈值,即可以判断此时光线的强度较小,此时可能为夜间,电机IV-122不便进入工作模式,当控制单元IV-150接收的外部信息满足识别条件时,控制单元仍然控制电机IV-122进入停机模式,直至控制单元IV-150接收的光线的强度不满足误启动触发条件,即光线的强度大于光强度开启阈值,并且控制单元IV-150接收的外部信息满足识别条件。在本实施方式中,当控制单元IV-150接收的光线的强度小于光强度开启阈值时,控制单元IV-150可以控制识别单元IV-130处于停机模式,识别单元IV-130不再检测外部信息,其也不会发送相应的数据至控制单元IV-150,使得电机IV-122始终进入停机模式。此时,识别单元IV-130处于停机模式时,可以大大减小能耗。当识别单元IV-130处于停机模式时,光检测子单元IV-141仍处于工作模式,并发送检
测到的光线的强度至控制单元IV-150,当控制单元IV-150接收的光线的强度不小于光强度开启阈值,即不满足误启动条件时,控制单元IV-150控制识别单元IV-130进入工作模式,开始检测外部信息。由于光检测子单元IV-141的能耗相对较小,其可以实时检测光线的强度;光检测子单元IV-141也可以经过间隔时间段检测光线的强度,在间隔时间段内,识别单元IV-130根据上一次光检测子单元IV-141检测光线的强度的结果是否处于工作模式,这样可以进一步的降低能耗。在其他实施例中,控制单元IV-150可以直接控制电机IV-122进入停机模式,识别单元IV-130可以仍处于工作模式,无论识别单元IV-130检测的外部信息是否满足识别条件,电机IV-122直接处于停机模式。当然,为了降低能耗的考虑,控制单元IV-150同时控制电机IV-122和识别单元IV-130处于停机模式。
吸尘系统IV-100还包括延时单元IV-160,延时单元IV-160与控制单元IV-150连接,当控制单元IV-150接收到的光强度检测信号小于光强度开启阈值时,控制单元IV-150启动延时单元IV-160,延时单元IV-160预设有延时时间,经过该延时时间之后,控制单元IV-150接收经过延时时间后的光强度检测信号,控制单元IV-150判断此时的光线的强度与光强度开启阈值的大小关系,若此时光线的强度仍然小于光强度开启阈值时,控制单元IV-150控制电机IV-122进入停机状态,而若此时光强度检测信号不小于光强度开启阈值时,控制单元IV-150可以根据识别单元IV-130检测的外部信息再控制电机IV-122的工作状态。吸尘系统IV-100设置了该延时单元IV-160后,可以减小工作环境中物体的阴影或用户等遮挡光检测子单元IV-141而造成控制单元IV-150误发送停止信号。
吸尘系统IV-100一般在工作环境的地面上行走并且执行相应的清洁任务,为了提升吸尘系统IV-100判断时间段的精确性,光检测子单元IV-141至少要接收从吸尘系统IV-100上方照射的光线,并检测这些光线的强度。进一步的,光检测子单元IV-141设置在壳体IV-110的顶部,其感光面至少部分是朝向吸尘系统IV-100的上方,从而更容易的获取工作环境中的光线。当然,光检测子单元IV-141设置在壳体IV-110上时,可以根据壳体IV-110的具体形状等来确定光检测子单元IV-141具体的设置位置。
为了进一步的提高吸尘系统IV-100的判断精度,该吸尘系统IV-100可以设置有多个光检测子单元IV-141,这些光检测子单元IV-141均与控制单元IV-150连接。这些光检测子单元IV-141可以设置在壳体IV-110的不同位置或者感光面朝向不同的方向,从而来接收工作环境中不同方向照射的光线,并且检测相应光线的强度。不会由于阴影等正好覆盖光检测子单元IV-141而导致光检测子单元IV-141接收的光线的光强较弱,而导致清电机IV-122处于停机模式,降低了误判率。优选的,这些多个光检测子单元IV-141中,至少一个光检测子单元IV-141用以接收吸尘系统IV-100上方照射的光线,至少一个光检测子单元IV-141用以接收局部从吸尘系统IV-100侧面照射的光线,这样就大幅度的降低误判率。控制单元IV-150可以根据这些光检测子单元IV-141相应的检测结果来判断是否需要发送停止信号。在本实施方式中,当这些光检测子单元IV-141检测到的光线的强度均小于储存在控制单元IV-150内的强度阈值时,才发出停止信号,使得电机IV-122处于停机模式。当然该控制单元IV-150也可以设置有相应的计算程序,根据各个光检测子单元IV-141的位置关系、
相应检测到的光线的强度等关系以及强度阈值等来确定是否需要使得电机IV-122处于停机模式。
请参考图4D,在另一实施例中,误启动检测单元包括热感应子单元IV-142,该热感应子单元IV-142用以检测工作环境中产生外部信息的外部信息源的温度,误启动触发条件为外部信息源的温度大于阈值温度。在工作环境中可能会存在动物等,这些动物在工作环境中会导致识别单元IV-130的误检测,导致控制单元IV-150接收到错误的外部信息,使得清洁单元处于工作模式。由于这些动物的体温与工作环境中的温度不同,本实施方式中,当控制单元IV-150接收的外部信息满足识别条件,控制单元IV-150控制该热感应子单元IV-142用以检测外部信息源的温度,控制单元IV-150可以获取热感应子单元IV-142检测到的温度信息,当控制单元IV-150接收的温度检测信号没有超过温度阈值时,说明识别单元IV-130发送的识别信号并非误识别,控制单元IV-150控制清洁单元进入工作模式;当控制单元IV-150接收的温度小于温度阈值,说明识别单元IV-130发送的识别信号为误识别,控制单元IV-150控制清洁单元进入停机模式。一般情况下,动物的体温高于工作环境的温度,在控制单元IV-150只需预先设置有相应的温度阈值,该温度阈值可以根据大部分动物的体温来确定,例如在家庭室内的工作环境中时,该温度阈值可以设置为略高于37.5摄氏度,因为一般家庭内的动物为猫、狗等的宠物,其体温略高于正常人体体温。在一些情况下,由于工作环境中的尘屑等与工作环境温度会相差无几,控制单元IV-150设有的温度范围可以通过热感应子单元IV-142获取工作环境温度后,控制单元IV-150根据一定的计算得到,如该温度阈值可以为以工作环境温度作为基数,在该
基数上下浮动一定的比例或数值后产生的温度作为该温度范围的上下限。在本实施例中,为了降低能耗,当控制单元IV-150接收到的识别信号超过识别信号范围后,控制单元IV-150才控制热感应子单元IV-142处于工作模式,而在此之前热感应子单元IV-142处于停机模式。在本实施例中,热感应子单元IV-142与识别单元IV-130的感应范围至少局部是重叠的,这样提高吸尘系统IV-100的精确度。更进一步的,热感应子单元IV-142与识别单元IV-130的感应范围完全重叠,热感应子单元IV-142完全可以检测识别单元IV-130识别的标识物的温度,大大降低了其他物体对热感应子单元IV-142的干扰。
请参考图4E,在另一实施例中,误启动检测单元包括光检测子单元IV-141和热感应子单元IV-142。如前实施例所描述的,该光检测子单元IV-141用以检测工作环境中光线的强度,该热感应子单元IV-142用以检测工作环境中标识物的温度。在此识别单元IV-130、光检测子单元IV-141、热感应子单元IV-142之间具有一定的逻辑启动顺序,使得该吸尘系统IV-100具有良好的清洁效率。优选的,当控制单元IV-150接收的光线的强度满足不满足误启动触发条件,即光线的强度超过光强度开启阈值后,控制单元IV-150控制识别单元IV-130进入工作模式,当控制单元IV-150接收的外部信息满足识别条件后,控制单元IV-150控制热感应子单元进入工作模式,来判断识别单元IV-130是否为误识别,当热感应子单元IV-142判断为非误识别时,控制单元IV-150才控制清洁单元进入工作模式。
当然,误启动检测单元还可以包括有其它的检测子单元,这些检测子单元来检测工作环境的状态,例如工作环境的湿度、障碍物分布等,根据这些工作环境的状态来设置清洁单元合适的工作时机。
下面结合附图5A至附图5E,详细描述本发明第五发明构思下的吸尘系统的较佳实施方式。
实施例1
请参考图5A,示意了一种吸尘系统V-100的系统模块图,其包括机壳V-110、风机V-120、电机V-130、控制单元V-140、工作模式切换单元V-170。吸尘系统V-100是一种自启动吸尘系统,其在受到外部事件触发时自动启动吸尘作业。吸尘系统V-100具有第一工作模式和第二工作模式。此处,第一工作模式定义为手动模式,第二工作模式则定义为自启动模式。但必须指出的是,该定义可以互换。
具体地,控制单元V-140用以控制电机V-130的工作。其中自启动模式下,控制单元V-140用以接收外部信息,并在判断外部信息满足预定条件时启动电机V-130,并延时一段时间后关闭;外部信息不满足预定条件时,控制单元V-140控制所述电机V-130不启动,由此实现自启动吸尘的功能,极大地方便了使用者。手动模式至少包括常开模式,其中常开模式下,控制单元V-140则控制电机V-130持续运转。
风机V-120用以产生吸尘用的气流。电机V-130用以提供使风机V-120工作的旋转动力。风机V-120、电机V-130均内置在机壳V-110中。给电机V-130供电的电源可以是外部电源,电机V-130通过电源线与外部电源连接。给电机V-130供电的电源也可以是连接在机壳V-110上的电池包。当电源是电池包时,电池包内的电池可以采用多个可充电式电池。可充电式电池可以采用镍镉、镍氢、锂离子、铅蓄、铁锂等充电电池。电池包也可以是内置在机壳V-110中,利于提高机壳V-110外观的美感。
工作模式切换单元V-170用以在被触发时向控制单元V-140发送工作模式切换的指令信息。
参考图5B和图5C,实施例1的吸尘系统V-100还包括集尘箱V-180、柔性管V-190。其中,风机V-120和电机V-130集成在一起,然后风机V-120通过进风管路V-122与集尘箱V-180连通。集尘箱V-180内设有集尘通道V-182和过滤装置V-183,其中集尘通道V-182的一端与外界相通,另一端则通过该过滤装置V-183与进风管路V-122隔离。过滤装置V-183不影响气流通过但会阻止灰尘等杂物,这样,由集尘通道V-182进入集尘箱V-180内部的灰尘无法进入进风管路V-122,将落在集尘箱V-180的底板上从而被收集。
风机V-120和电机V-130集成在一起,二者的外部固定有第一进风风道V-113和第二进风风道V-114,其中第一进风风道V-113设有可以作为吸尘入口使用的第一端口V-1132,第二进风风道V-114设有可以作为吸尘入口使用的第二端口V-1142。
本实施例中,第一进风风道V-113的一端与集尘通道V-182连接在一起,二者保持连通状态。第二进风风道V-114则不与集尘通道V-182连接,二者不保持连通状态。
参考图5B,第一进风风道V-113与集尘通道V-182连通,第一端口V-1132作为吸尘入口使用。第二进风风道V-114的两个端口(其中一个端口为第二端口V-1142)均闲置。
参图5C,当要改变吸尘入口时,以满足不同的使用环境时,使用柔性管V-190将第二进风风道V-114的另一端口(第二端口V-1142以外的另一个,第二端口V-1142为进风口时,另一端口为出口)与第一端口V-1132连通,此时第二端口V-1142将被作为吸尘入口使用,
携带灰尘的气流从第二端口V-1142进入,先经过第二进风风道V-114,再经过第一进风风道V-113,然后经过集尘通道V-182进入集尘箱V-180内部并被收集。
本实施例中,吸尘系统V-100被这样配置:
参图5B,当柔性管V-190的一端与第一端口V-1132连接,柔性管V-190的另一端作为吸尘入口时,柔性管起到延伸第一端口的作用,控制单元V-140控制电机V-130处于常开模式下,即电机V-130持续运转。当然,在其他实施例中,柔性管与第一进风风道固定连接,柔性管的端口即为第一端口。
参图5C,当柔性管V-190的一端与第一端口V-1132连接,柔性管V-190的另一端与第二进风风道V-114的另一端口连通,柔性管V-190仅作为过渡管路使用。此时,控制单元V-140控制电机V-130处于自启动模式下。
本实施例中,当柔性管V-190与第二进风风道V-114的另一端口连通时,可同时触发工作模式切换单元V-170,使工作模式切换单元V-170向控制单元V-140发出切换指令,进而实现由常开模式(第一工作模式)至自启动模式(第二工作模式)的切换。
柔性管V-190连接时同时触发工作模式切换单元V-170,可以采用如下原理实现:
工作模式切换单元V-170包括在第二进风风道V-114的另一端口上设置的压力传感器,该端口上有管道插入时,控制单元V-140即可收到需要切换工作模式的信息。又如,工作模式切换单元V-170也可以是接近传感器,同样可以检测是否有管道插入,控制单元V-140即可收到需要切换工作模式的信息。
本实施例中,吸尘系统V-100实现自启动模式,通过在机壳V-110上或者外部设置传感器实现。其中,传感器将检测到的机壳附近的障碍物的距离参数、障碍物靠近机壳V-110的速度参数或障碍物靠近机壳V-110的加速度参数等发送给控制单元V-140,控制单元V-140预设有阈值,当距离小于阈值时,所述控制单元V-140启动电机V-130。或当速度、加速度大于阀值时,控制单元V-140启动电机V-130。
该传感器可以为激光距离传感器,该激光传感器利用激光扫描机壳V-110的一侧是否有垃圾、灰尘等障碍物,当激光距离传感器扫描到垃圾的距离小于设定距离时,控制单元V-140便控制电机V-130进行工作,清除该杂物。
该传感器也可以为超声波距离传感器,该超声波距离传感器利用超声波检测机壳V-110一侧垃圾的距离,当小于设定距离时,控制单元V-140便控制电机V-130进行工作,清除该杂物。
该传感器可以是速度传感器或者加速度传感器。当该传感器检测到障碍物扫把的作用下可能将较快地接近机壳V-110时,则控制单元V-140启动电机V-130,做好吸尘的准备或将灰尘吸入集尘袋中。
综上,本实施例中,吸尘入口实际上设置了两个,即第一端口V-1132和第二端口V-1142,两个端口可被选择地作为吸尘入口使用。在此基础上,利用柔性管V-190的连接,可自动实现工作模式的转换。
吸尘系统V-100在启动开机电源后,可自动进入自启动模式。然后,当柔性管V-190仅与第一风道的第一端口V-1132连接时,即可自动进入常开模式,由使用者控制柔性管V-190进行吸尘作业。当柔性管V-190的另一端还与第二风道连通时,控制单元V-140使电机V-130切换为自启动模式。
另外,还需要指出的是,柔性管V-190的连接还同时触发工作模式切换单元V-170,可以是在仅设置一个进风风道和一个吸尘入口的情况下实现。即,当仅设置第一端口V-1132时,柔性管V-190与第一端口V-1132连接时即触发工作模式切换单元V-170,此时柔性管V-190的端口是作为吸尘入口使用,然后电机V-130即进入常开模式。当柔性管V-190从第一端口V-1132拔下时,电机V-130即进入自启动模式。当然,也可以是刚好相反的设置方式,即柔性管V-190与第一端口V-1132连接时为自启动模式,柔性管V-190从第一端口V-1132拔下时电机V-130进入常开模式。本实施例中,优先设定为柔性管V-190仅与第一端口V-1132连接时电机V-130处于常开模式,这样常开模式下,用户手提软管进行吸尘,能够发挥柔性管V-190可以扩展作业范围的优点,更适应于常开模式。
本实施例中,是通过柔性管V-190的连接改变吸尘入口和进风风道,同时触发工作模式切换单元V-170,实现工作模式切换。
此外,也可以是,吸尘系统V-100同时具有两个风道和风道切换部件,其中一个风道上连接柔性管V-190,柔性管V-190的端口作为一个吸尘入口。当需要改变工作模式时,操作风道切换部件,切换进风风道,使柔性管V-190的端口作为实际的吸尘入口使用,同时风道切换部件被操作后,同时触发工作模式切换单元V-170,进而实现工作模式切换。
实施例2
请参考图5D和图5E,揭示了一种吸尘系统V-200,与吸尘系统V-100相似,其为自启动吸尘系统,自启动原理与实施例1的吸尘系统V-200相同,不再赘述。
吸尘系统V-200包括其包括机壳V-210、风机V-220、电机V-230、控制单元(未图示)、工作模式切换单元V-270、集尘箱V-280及柔性管V-290。
风机V-220和电机V-230集成在一起,二者的外部固定有第一进风风道V-213和第二进风风道V-214,其中第一进风风道V-213设有可以作为吸尘入口使用的第一端口V-2132,第二进风风道V-214设有可以作为吸尘入口使用的第二端口V-2142。
本实施例中,第一进风风道V-213的一端与集尘通道V-282连接在一起,二者保持连通状态。第二进风风道V-214则不与集尘通道V-282连接,二者不保持连通状态。
参考图5D,第一进风风道V-213与集尘通道V-282连通,第一端口V-2132作为吸尘入口使用。第二进风风道V-214的两个端口(其中一个端口为第二端口V-2142)均闲置。进一步地,柔性管V-290连接在第一进风风道V-213上,柔性管V-290的端口作为吸尘入口使用。
参图5E,当要改变吸尘入口时,以满足不同的使用环境时,使用柔性管V-290将第二进风风道V-214的一端口(第二端口V-2142以外的另一个,第二端口V-2142为进风口时,另一端口为出口)与第一端口V-2132连通,此时第二端口V-2142将被作为吸尘入口使用,携带灰尘的气流从第二端口V-2142进入,先经过第二进风风道V-214,再经过第一进风风道V-213,然后经过集尘通道V-282进入集尘箱V-280内部并被收集。
本实施例中,工作模式切换单元V-270包括重力感应开关,其位置设置不作具体限定。重力感应开关是一种受重力变化影响而启动的开关。
当重力感应开关因重力变化被触发时,控制单元控制电机V-230切换当前的工作模式。进一步地,重力感应开关的位置在水平位置和竖直位置之间切换时,重力感应开关因重力变化被触发,工作模式切换单元V-270向控制单元发出切换指令。
基于工作模式切换单元V-270包括由随重力变化而改变的开关,本实施例中,吸尘系统V-200被这样配置:
参图5D,当柔性管V-290的一端与第一端口V-2132连接,柔性管V-290的另一端作为吸尘入口时,控制单元控制电机V-230处于常开模式下,即电机V-230持续运转。
参图5E,当吸尘器的位置相较于图5D在竖直面内转动90度时,也可理解为机壳V-210由躺着地面上改为直立在地面上。此时,工作模式切换单元V-270中的重力感应开关因重力变化被触发,工作模式切换单元V-270向控制单元发送信号,控制单元控制电机V-230由常开模式切换为自启动模式。
此时,保持柔性管V-290的一端与第一端口V-2132连接,将柔性管V-290的另一端与第二进风风道V-214的一端口连通,使柔性管V-290仅作为过渡管路使用。此时,控制单元控制电机V-230处于自启动模式下,同时第二端口V-2142作为吸尘入口使用。第二端口V-2142的位置设置为与第一端口V-2132不同,其可以设置在更适应自启动模式的位置。例如,第二端口V-2142的位置设置在机壳V-210横向放置于地面后较第一端口V-2132更接近地面。
与实施例1类似,优先设定为柔性管V-290仅与第一端口V-2132连接时电机V-230处于常开模式,此时柔性管V-290的另一端口作为吸尘入口使用,这样常开模式下,用户手提软管进行吸尘,能够发挥
柔性管V-290可以扩展作业范围的优点,更适应于常开模式。
另外,工作模式切换单元V-270包括由随重力变化而改变的开关,当然也可以应用于在吸尘系统仅设置一个进风风道和一个吸尘入口的情况。
如,当仅设置第一端口V-2132时,柔性管V-290与第一端口V-2132连接,控制单元根据工作模式切换单元V-270的重力感应开关反馈的信号控制电机V-230处于不同的工作模式。具体地,如图5D所示,机壳V-210横向放置于放置时,电机V-230为常开模式;如图5E所示,机壳V-210竖立放置时,电机V-230切换为自启动模式。在切换过程中,不需要有柔性管的连接、移除等动作,直接重力感应开关感应重力变化即可。
实施例3
实施例3提供了一种吸尘系统,与前面两个实施例不同,其通过手动操作工作模式转换单元来向控制单元发出指令。换言之,工作模式转换单元需要使用者在需要时进行手动或遥控的操作来启动,以便向控制单元发送指令。
本实施例中,工作模式转换单元是否向控制单元发送切换指令,与柔性管的连接、插拔无关,取决于使用者合适操作该工作模式转换单元。
本实施例的构思可以应用于如以实施例1的吸尘系统V-100的有两个可选择吸尘端口的吸尘系统,也可以应用于仅设置有一个吸尘端口的吸尘系统。
如果是实施例1的吸尘系统V-100,使用者手动或遥控操作工作模式转换单元,以向控制单元发送切换指令,使电机切换工作模式。
与此同时,通过柔性管V-190可以改变吸尘入口及进风风道,以选取合适位置的吸尘入口,以能更好的匹配当前的工作模式。
如果是仅设置有一个吸尘端口的吸尘系统,则相对简单,使用者根据需求手动或遥控工作模式转换单元,以向控制单元发送切换指令。如果是切换为常开模式,还可以再附加柔性管以延长作业范围。
工作模式切换单元包括模式切换开关,当模式切换开关被操作时,控制单元控制电机切换当前的工作模式。模式切换开关为按钮式开关、旋钮式开关、者滑动开关等。模式切换开关通过工作电路与控制单元连接。
同样地,本实施例中,优先设定为:柔性管的端口作为吸尘入口时,电机为常开模式。这样,常开模式下,用户手提软管进行吸尘,同时,切换为手动模式时,使用户只需操作模式切换开关中的“常开”按钮,更符合使用场景的需求。
显然,上述实施例仅仅是为清楚地说明所作的举例,而并非对实施方式的限定。对于所属领域的普通技术人员来说,在上述说明的基础上还可以做出其它不同形式的变化或变动。这里无需也无法对所有的实施方式予以穷举。而由此所引伸出的显而易见的变化或变动仍处于本发明创造的保护范围之中。
