2、通过图像采集装置21对洗碗机内的清洗区域中的餐具进行图像采集,图像不限定于餐具的图像或者污染物的图像。
以上是本申请实施例所提供的洗碗机所拥有的基础结构以及所能执行的功能,其他结构暂未阐述,在后文的方法实施例进一步补充。本领域技术人员应当理解,在以上结构上做出和本申请实施例所提供的发明构思相同或者等同的改进,仍属于本申请实施例所保护的范围内。
本申请实施例还提供一种用于洗碗机的清洗方法,该清洗方法为一个整体的实施例。该实施例中有多个方案,分别包括对洗碗机中清洗区域餐具的图像识别,洗涤模式的选择,以及洗涤模式的配置等多个方面。下面具体阐述本清洗方法所包含的内容。
请参阅图2,图2示意性示出了根据本申请一实施例的用于洗碗机的清洗方法的流程示意图本申请。本申请实施例包括用于洗碗机的清洗方法中的洗涤模式的选择和配置的方法。在本申请一实施例中,提供一种用于洗碗机的清洗方法。具体来说为一种用于上述洗碗机的喷淋臂所进行喷淋的方法,该方法旨在解决现有的洗碗机仅按照固定的模式进行喷淋,喷淋臂在喷淋清洗介质时,不管餐具上的污染物是否可以被洗掉,到了所设定的清洗时 间就结束清洗,如一些粘稠的饭团、鸡蛋羹、糊巴,固定的模式很难清洗掉,从而导致达不到用户所预期的体验效果的问题。
对于本申请实施例所提供的清洗方法,通过上述的洗碗机的结构予以实现。上述所提到的术语“清洗介质”可以是让喷淋臂连通市水供应端提供清水,也可以是混合其他清洗物质所组成的清洗液。该清洗方法包括:
步骤S11、控制洗碗机以至少一种洗涤模式分别对洗碗机的餐具进行清洗;
步骤S12、获取经清洗后餐具的图像;
步骤S13、根据图像确定经清洗后餐具上的污染物是否被清除;
步骤S14、在污染物未被清除的情况下,更换洗涤模式;
步骤S15、控制洗碗机以更换后的洗涤模式对餐具再次清洗。
其中,在步骤S11中,可以通过在洗碗机的处理器中进行编码以预先配置好多种洗涤模式,每种洗涤模式可以处理与该洗涤模式对应的一种污染物类型。洗涤模式主要是基于不同污染物类型在餐具上的洗涤敏感性所设定的。
其中污染物类型可以包括但不限于:洗涤剂敏感型、温度敏感型和压力敏感型。因此对应地,在本申请实施例中提供的洗涤模式可以包括:洗涤模式A、调节洗涤剂;洗涤模式B、调节洗涤温度;洗涤模式C、调节洗涤的压力;洗涤模式D、默认洗涤模式。
可以理解,洗涤剂敏感型可以是如粘稠的脂类或者油类污染物,温度敏感性如油类污染物,压力敏感型可以是如附着在餐具上的菜叶、骨头、汤汁、鸡蛋羹、糊巴等。对于洗涤模式A、洗涤模式B以及洗涤模式C为大类的洗涤模式,可以继续将洗涤模式A细分包括洗涤模式A1、洗涤模式A2以及洗涤模式A3。其中洗涤模式A1、洗涤模式A2以及洗涤模式A3的区别在于洗涤剂的种类或者剂量不同。同理,洗涤模式B可以包括不同洗涤温度的洗涤模式B1、洗涤模式B2以及洗涤模式B3。对应地,洗涤模式C可以是不同压力下的洗涤模式C1、洗涤模式C2以及洗涤模式C3等,其中洗涤模式D为清洗介质为清水或者默认的洗涤液、初始压力下、初始温度下的洗涤模式。
在步骤S11的具体实现方案中,可以包括以下方式:先控制洗碗机以默认洗涤模式对洗碗机内的餐具进行清洗。
可以理解,大部分的情况下,洗碗机在默认洗涤模式下即可以将餐具上的污染物洗干净。因为默认洗涤模式是有一定温度和压强的,餐具不会每次都出现洗不干净的污染物,因此正常情况下的流程即为:通过洗碗机以默认洗涤模式D进行清洗,获取经清洗后餐具的图像,根据图像确定经清洗后餐具上的污染物被清除,从而结束清洗。
而当餐具上出现其他污染物时,如餐具上粘稠的糊巴,则在默认洗涤模式洗完后,更换其他洗涤模式。更换其他洗涤模式的方式可以是依次性更换洗涤模式,也可以是随机不重复的更换。例如,将洗涤模式A1和洗涤模式A2依次执行清洗预设的时间,如每5s一次。每次清洗完均检测一次污染物是否被清除。直至污染物被清除时,认定当前洗涤模式有效,继续使用当前洗涤模式,从而实现彻底清除污染物。
因此,在一个具体的实施例中,步骤S11可以包括:
首先通过默认洗涤模式对餐具进行清洗;
在接收到更换洗地模式指令时,依次更换洗涤模式,或者随机(不重复)更换洗涤模式的更换洗涤模式;
控制洗碗机按照每种洗涤模式进行清洗预设的时间后停止。
请参阅图3,图3示意性示出了根据本申请一实施例的用于洗碗机的清洗方法中步骤S13的流程示意图。步骤S12可以获取经清洗后餐具的图像,该图像用于执行步骤S13,即根据图像确定经清洗后餐具上的污染物是否被清除.需要说明的是,本申请实施例中所提到的污染物是否被清除,是指代污染物有被洗掉的痕迹,不是限定为完全洗干净。
步骤S13可以包括以下方式:
步骤S131、获取餐具在经清洗前的第一图像;
步骤S132、获取餐具在经清洗后的第二图像;
步骤S133、根据第一图像和第二图像进行对比,以确定污染物被清除。
其中,根据第一图像和第二图像的对比可以是:通过分别在清洗前后读取第一图像和第二图像的图像数据,将第一图像和第二图像转换为灰色(256灰阶图),通过边界特征法识别第一图像和第二图像中餐具上的污染物的特征量,并根据污染物的边缘特征分割出污染物的轮廓(该步骤是考虑到在清洗过程中,可能污染物会在清洗区域非餐具上的其他位置,或者由于餐具晃动,从而导致第一图像和第二图像形成差异,而并不是污染物被清洗掉所形成的差异,从而导致误判),分别提取第一图片污染物的第一轮廓和第二图像中污染物的第二轮廓,根据将第一轮廓和第二轮廓进行对比,从而确定污染物是否有减少,以确定污染物被清除。
在一个实施例中,第一轮廓和第二轮廓进行对比可以是像素直方图的对比,通过观测污染物的像素点是否发生变化,从而确定污染物是否被清除。
请参阅图4,图4示意性示出了根据一实施例的用于洗碗机的清洗方法的逻辑示意图;本申请;步骤S14和步骤S15中阐述了在污染物未被清除的情况下,当前洗涤模式对于该污染物对应的污染物类型无效。通过执行更换洗涤模式,控制洗碗机以更换后的洗涤模式对餐具再次清洗。循环步骤S14和步骤S15,可以实现彻底将餐具洗干净。从而使得餐具上的污染物在洗干净的情况下才结束清洗,实现更好的清洗效果,给与用户更好的体验。
另一方面,请参阅图5,图5示意性示出了根据一实施例的用于洗碗机的清洗方法进一步的流程示意图;在本申请实施例中,清洗方法还包括:
步骤S16、在污染物被清除的情况下,根据图像对洗涤模式进行配置;
步骤S17、控制洗碗机以配置后的洗涤模式对餐具进行清洗。
步骤S16和步骤S17可以理解为在污染物被清除后,该洗涤模式则被认为是有效的,当确定洗涤模式清洗预设的时间后且对污染物为有效的后,此时不执行步骤S14,即不更换洗涤模式,进而对有效的洗涤模式对其进行配置,配置包括清洗时间、清洗位置的任一种,在配置完后,根据配置后的洗涤模式对餐具进行清洗。
请参阅图6,图6示意性示出了根据本申请一实施例的用于洗碗机的清洗方法中步骤S16的流程示意图。在本申请实施例中,步骤S16、根据图像对洗涤模式进行配置可以包括:
步骤S161、根据图像,确定餐具的第一特征,或餐具剩余的污染物的第二特征;
步骤S162、根据第一特征或第二特征,对洗涤模式进行配置,其中配置包括清洗时间、清洗位置的任一种。
为了更进一步阐述步骤S161至步骤S162,可以参见图1D所示,在利用洗涤模式进行清洗的时候,即实施步骤S11的时候,喷淋臂25上的出水孔251可以先全部打开,喷淋臂25的转速可以是恒定速度,其他参数如水压,温度都可以是恒定数值,目的是仅以洗涤模式为可变量来测试该洗涤模式的有效性。但是在后续的正式清洗中,为了更快更有效地进行清洗,可以根据餐具的第一特征和污染物的第二特征进一步对洗涤模式进行配置,从而加快清洗效率。
在本申请实施例中,第一特征可以包括以下的至少一种:餐具的数量、餐具的材质、餐具的位置;可以理解,餐具的“数量”可以根据餐具图像进行目标提取分析得出,如提取餐具轮廓,也可根据用户自行输入。餐具的“位置”可以根据餐具图像轮廓所落在洗碗机内的清洗位置获取,例如:将洗碗机的清洗区域建立坐标系,获取餐具图像的坐标位置,即餐具的位置。进一步地,通过将餐具图像灰度二值化以及局部阀值分隔将餐具上有污染物的部分分离出来,再计算污染物的面积和所在的位置。更进一步地,可以通过餐具的数量对该洗涤模式的清洗时间进行配置,餐具数量越多,清洗时间越长,从而确保清洗的彻底性。
在本申请实施例中,还可以通过餐具的位置对洗涤模式的清洗范围进行配置,如对洗碗机中所使用的出水孔进行配置。具体地,通过使用餐具位置对应的出水孔喷淋清洗介质,关闭其他出水孔,使得其他出水孔不喷淋清洗介质,从而实现节约水能和集中清洗。
在本申请实施例中,第二特征包括以下的至少一种:污染物的面积、污染物的位置。根据污染物的面积和/或污染物的位置,也可以对洗涤模式进行配置,从而使得清洗效率更高。
请参阅图7,图7示意性示出了根据本申请一实施例的用于洗碗机的清洗方法中步骤S162的流程示意图。在步骤S162中,根据第一特征或第二特征,对有效的洗涤模式进行配置包括:
步骤S1621、获取餐具上污染物对应的面积;
步骤S1622、根据面积对洗涤模式的清洗时间进行配置。
可以理解,将餐具图像灰度二值化后,将每种污染物类型作为轮廓提取。根据污染物所反映的黑像素点污染 物面积,从而得到所需配置的洗涤模式的清洗时间。在一个示例中,可以通过如下方式对洗涤模式的清洗时间进行配置:1、通过将餐具图像灰度二值化;2、通过局部阀值分隔将餐具上的污染物的部分分离出来;3、计算污染物的面积;4、根据面积设定对应的清洗时间。具体地,用户可以设定阀值,当污染物的面积在阈值内时清洗时间为第一时间,超过阈值则为第二时间,即认为较难清洗,此时将当前时间设定为第二时间。
请参阅图8,图8示意性示出了根据本申请一实施例的用于洗碗机的清洗方法中步骤S162的另一流程示意图。在步骤S162中,根据第一特征或第二特征,对有效的洗涤模式进行配置包括:
步骤S1621'、获取餐具上污染物的位置;
步骤S1621'、根据位置对洗涤模式的清洗位置进行配置。
本申请实施例可以通过污染物的位置对洗涤模式的清洗范围进行配置,所使用的出水孔进行配置,通过使用有污染物的位置对应的出水孔处喷淋清洗介质,关闭其他出水孔;从而实现节约水能和集中清洗。
综上,本申请实施例提供了一种清洗方法,具体来说为一种用于上述洗碗机的喷淋臂所进行喷淋的方法。该方法通过控制洗碗机以至少一种洗涤模式分别对洗碗机的餐具进行清洗,从而找到可以彻底清洗污染物的洗涤模式。本申请实施例旨在解决现有的洗碗机按照固定的模式进行喷淋,喷淋臂在喷淋清洗介质时,不管餐具上的污染物是否可以被洗掉,到了所设定的清洗时间就结束,如一些粘稠的饭团、鸡蛋羹、糊巴,固定的模式很难清洗掉,从而导致达不到用户所预期的产品体验的问题,提高清洗的彻底性,以及用户的使用体验。
请参阅图9,图9示意性示出了根据本申请另一实施例所提供的用于洗碗机的清洗方法的流程示意图。本申请实施例包括用于洗碗机的清洗方法中的图像识别方法。在本申请另一实施例中,提供一种用于洗碗机的清洗方法,具体来说为一种用于上述洗碗机的喷淋臂所进行喷淋的方法,该方法基于上述方法的基础上的改进。在选择洗涤模式和配置洗涤模式的基础上,本申请实施例还可以根据洗碗机内的餐具图像,对污染物类型进行识别,并且通过清洗前和清洗后的图像的比较,确定洗涤模式的有效性。
在本申请另一实施例中,提供一种改进的清洗方法,该清洗方法可以包括:
步骤S21、获取洗碗机内餐具的第一图像;
步骤S22、根据第一图像识别餐具上的污染物类型;
步骤S23、根据污染物类型确定对应的洗涤模式;
步骤S24、控制洗碗机按照洗涤模式依次对餐具进行清洗;
步骤S25、在每次清洗完成后,获取洗碗机内餐具的第二图像;
步骤S26、将第一图像和第二图像进行对比,以确定洗涤模式的有效性。
在步骤S21中,首先获取洗碗机餐具还未清洗的第一图像,例如,可以通过设置于洗碗机内的图像采集装置进行获取。在一个示例中,第一图像可以在开始清洗时被触发获取,该方法可以通过编辑图像采集装置的作业属性实现。步骤S21为本领域技术人员常见手段,不予过多阐述。
为了更清楚的阐述本申请实施例所提供的步骤S21至步骤S25的清洗方法,首先解释洗碗机的传统方式下的清洗方法以及所存在的弊端:
现有洗碗机的清洗方法为了实现更节能以及更精准高效的清洗,通常采用图像识别予以配合。在洗碗图像识别的应用中,首先就需要识别出餐具和污染物的各种特征,根据特征启动不同的洗涤模式。通常,洗碗机会预设几种模式,然后根据特征予以匹配对应的洗涤模式,根据所匹配的洗涤模式进行清洗。以上的传统清洗方法存在以下弊端:在图像识别方面,图像识别很难将附着在餐具上面的污染物与其自身的餐具上的花纹区分开。仅靠图像识别很难实现精确,导致后续匹配的洗涤模式不精准,很难确定洗涤模式的有效性,从而最终的洗涤效果不理想。
因此,本申请实施例提供的清洗方法首先获取洗碗机内餐具的第一图像,根据第一图像选取洗涤模式,控制洗涤模式餐具进行清洗,根据清洗前后的第二图像与第一图像进行对比,从而直接确定洗涤模式的有效性。
在上述步骤S22中,可以通过在洗碗机的处理器中进行编码以预先配置好多种洗涤模式,每种洗涤模式可以处理与该洗涤模式对应的一种污染物类型。洗涤模式主要是基于不同污染物类型在餐具上的洗涤敏感性所设定的,其中污染物类型可以包括:洗涤剂敏感型、温度敏感型、压力敏感型。
因此对应地,在本申请实施例中提供的洗涤模式可以包括:洗涤模式A、调节洗涤剂;洗涤模式B、洗涤模 式调节洗涤温度;洗涤模式C、调节洗涤的压力;洗涤模式D、默认模式。
可以理解,洗涤剂敏感型可以是如粘稠的脂类或者油类污染物,温度敏感性如油类污染物,压力敏感型可以是如附着在餐具上的菜叶、骨头、汤汁、鸡蛋羹、糊巴等。对于洗涤模式A、洗涤模式B以及洗涤模式C为大类的洗涤模式,可以继续细分将洗涤模式A包括洗涤模式A1、洗涤模式A2以及洗涤模式A3。其中洗涤模式A1、洗涤模式A2以及洗涤模式A3的区别在于洗涤剂的种类或者剂量不同。同理,洗涤模式B可以包括不同洗涤温度的洗涤模式B1、洗涤模式B2以及洗涤模式B3。对应地洗涤模式C可以是不同压力下的洗涤模式C1、洗涤模式C2以及洗涤模式C3等,其中洗涤模式D为固定的洗涤模式。
在本申请一实施例中,步骤S21至步骤S23是通过预通过图像识别洗碗机的餐具上的污染物类型,从而初步制定一个清洗所需的洗涤模式组合。
可以理解的是,步骤S22根据第一图像识别餐具的污染物类型。由于餐具可能存在花纹,污染物很难被分割出来,第一图像所识别的污染物类型可能是不准确的,因此根据第一图像识别餐具的污染物类型为一个模糊算法,仅仅为选取几个洗涤模式,从而相比所有的洗涤模式依次运行,具备更高效、快捷的优势。
为了更清楚的阐述步骤S21至步骤S24,在一个示例中,如根据第一图像,识别餐具上污染物类型可能是a1和b1,通过步骤S23可以先初步制定一个清洗所需的洗涤模式组合为:洗涤模式A1和洗涤模式B1。其中,洗涤模式A1对应污染物类型a1,洗涤模式B1对应污染物类型b1,通过洗涤模式A1和洗涤模式B1对洗碗机的餐具进行清洗,清洗的方式和上述实施例一样,可以是洗涤模式A1和洗涤模式B1依次对洗碗机的餐具进行清洗,如洗涤模式A1洗涤5s后洗涤模式B1再洗涤5s。在洗涤模式A1洗涤完后,对餐具进行一次图像识别,确定污染物类型a1是否有被清除的迹象,如果污染物类型a1被清除的情况下,则认定洗涤模式A1为有效的洗涤模式,同理,在洗涤模式B1洗涤完后对餐具再进行一次图像识别,以同样的步骤判定洗涤模式B1是否有效。
请参阅图10,图10示意性示出了根据本申请另一实施例所提供的清洗方法中步骤S22的流程示意图。步骤S22、根据第一图像识别餐具上的污染物类型可以包括:
步骤S221、根据预先采集的污染物图像和污染物图像的污染物类型标签建立数据库;
步骤S222、通过数据库对图像识别模型进行预训练;
步骤S223、将获取的第一图像输入到预训练后的图像识别模型以确定污染物类型。
可以理解,洗碗机的处理器可以预先采集一些污染物图像,以及污染物类型标签,如标签:油污,以对预先创建的图像识别模型进行模型预训练。其中,图像识别模型可以为神经网络模型,也可为其他模型。在实际使用过程中,用户每次放入餐具,可以触发洗碗机采集其清洗区域的餐具图像,并将其第一图像输入到预训练后的图像识别模型以确定污染物类型。
进一步地,可以将污染物图像和污染物图像的污染物类型标签建立云端数据库。其中。获取的第一图像还可以通过移动通信网络上传至云端数据库,以作为图像识别模型的训练样本,以增加识别的精准性。
可以理解,通过将洗碗机通过移动通信网络连接云端数据库,每个用户所实践拍摄的污染物图像会上传至云端数据库,从而作为图像识别模型的训练样本,以使得图像识别模型不断更新从而提高图像是被模型的精准性。到了一定时间周期,云端可以将更新后的图像识别模型通过OTA(OTA:空中下载技术)下载至每个用户端的洗碗机中,从而提高洗碗机的识别精准度,以给用户带来更好的体验。
请参阅图11,图11示意性示出了根据本申请另一实施例所提供的清洗方法中步骤S23的流程示意图。步骤S23中根据污染物类型确定所需的洗涤模式包括:
步骤S231、建立污染物类型和洗涤模式的映射关系;
步骤S232、根据映射关系匹配与污染物类型对应的洗涤模式。
可以理解,洗碗机的处理器可以在对应的数据库中建立污染物类型和洗涤模式的映射关系,如洗涤模式A1对应污染物类型a1,洗涤模式B1对应污染物类型b1。通过将步骤S22中所识别的污染物类型作为Key值(Key值:键值)输入至数据库,通过映射关系根据污染物类型匹配对应的洗涤模式。
步骤S25中即在清洗后,可以识别餐具的第二图像。第二图像用于在步骤S26中确定清洗后对应洗涤模式的污染物类型是否已经被清洗掉。
请参阅图12,图12示意性示出了根据本申请另一实施例所提供的清洗方法中步骤S26的流程示意图。步骤 S26、将第一图像和第二图像进行对比,以确定洗涤模式的有效性可以包括:
步骤S261、根据第一图像与第二图像进行对比,以确定被去除的污染物类型;
步骤S262、通过洗涤模式对被去除的污染物类型进行匹配,以确定洗涤模式的有效性。
可以理解,通过将第一图像与第二图像进行对比,可以分析出在经过清洗后,所被去除的污染物类型。该污染物类型是通过步骤S22在第一图像所识别判定的,通过洗涤模式对被去除的污染物类型进行匹配,以确定洗涤模式的有效性,即步骤S23的二次确定。
为了更好地理解上述内容,假定通过清洗前的第一图像识别出来餐具上某一区域的污染物类型为污染物类型b1,其中污染物类型b1对应为油污类的温度敏感型。此时,在执行步骤S22中根据第一图像所识别出来的污染物类型b1不一定是正确的,仅仅是一个初步识别的结果,在执行步骤S23中上述污染物类型b1匹配了洗涤模式B1,但是洗涤模式B1一定是针对温度敏感型的污染物b1的,因此,当步骤S24通过洗涤模式B1进行清洗后,如果通过第一图像与第二图像进行对比,发现对应餐具上污染物类型b1的区域被去除了,那么确定被去除的污染物类型就是污染物类型b1,即确定了洗涤模式B1的有效性。如果通过第一图像与第二图像进行对比,发现对应餐具上污染物类型b1的区域并没有被去除干净,则确定当前洗涤模式B1的有效性较低,需要改变当前污染物类型对应的洗涤模式。
综上,本申请实施例通过获取第一图像,并根据第一图像的污染物类型预先制定对应的洗涤模式,根据洗涤模式依次对餐具进行清洗,根据第一图像和第二图像进行对比,从而确定洗涤模式的有效性,这种方式可以解决现有技术无法精确识别污染物类型,找寻合适的洗涤模式的问题,从而实现清洗干净彻底,耗时短效率高,且节省水能和电能。
