Detailed ways

In order to enable those in the technical field to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the present application.

Some of the processes described in the specification, claims, and above-mentioned drawings of this application include multiple operations that appear in a specific order. These operations may not be performed in the order in which they appear in this document or may be performed in parallel. The sequence numbers of operations, such as 101, 102, etc., are only used to distinguish different operations. The sequence numbers themselves do not represent any execution order. Additionally, these processes may include more or fewer operations, and the operations may be performed sequentially or in parallel. It should be noted that the descriptions such as "first" and "second" in this article are used to distinguish different messages, devices, modules, etc., and do not represent the order, nor do they limit "first" and "second" are different types. In addition, the embodiments described below are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

The design idea of the technical solution of each embodiment of the present application is: when the user uses the cleaning equipment, if the initial liquid storage tank is full or empty (such as the clean water tank in the clean water tank is full or the sewage tank is empty), the battery is fully charged. After the user starts using the liquid storage tank until it is empty or full (such as the clean water tank is empty or the sewage tank is full), the power of the battery component is almost exhausted or reaches the minimum power (recharging is required). This allows the user to switch off and charge the cleaning device. And the reduction appears as follows Probability of the situation: The user uses it for a while, and the liquid storage bucket needs to be filled or poured. After the user adds liquid or pours it, the user does not use it for a while and then runs out of power.

This application innovates from multiple perspectives. One angle is the static angle. During the design stage, the capacity of the liquid storage tank and the electric capacity of the battery component are designed to match. For example, based on the cleaning area of most home users, the capacity of the liquid storage tank is designed to clean the entire house or more than 80% (or higher) of the area in a certain working mode, and the battery life of the battery component can also ensure that the entire house is cleaned. House clean or above 80% (or higher). For example, in this working mode: the power of the main motor is low, the pump output connected to the liquid storage tank is low, etc. Or other working modes, which are not limited in this embodiment. For example, the above working mode is the working mode corresponding to the lightly polluted environment, that is, the working mode when the pollution detected by the cleaning device in the intelligent mode is low pollution. Among them, the degree of dirtiness can be obtained by detecting the ground through a sensor on the floor brush, or by detecting sewage through a detection device in the recycling pipe. Another angle is the dynamic angle. Innovate in control. Through control, the parts of the cleaning equipment can be adapted to each other, so that the liquid life corresponding to the liquid storage tank is adapted to the battery life of the battery component, so that the cleaning equipment can work as much as possible. Possibly as long as possible, reducing the probability of the user working on the liquid storage tank for a while and then ending the work due to lack of power.

The following embodiments will illustrate these two innovative perspectives respectively.

Figures 1 and 2 show a schematic structural diagram of a cleaning device provided by an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment is designed to match the capacity of the liquid storage tank and the electric capacity of the battery assembly from a static perspective. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the cleaning equipment includes: an equipment body 1, a liquid storage tank 2 and a battery assembly (not shown in the figure). Among them, the equipment main body 2 is provided with a cleaning device. The cleaning device is the floor brush 3 shown in Figure 1 . The floor brush 3 may include a roller brush and a floor brush motor, and the floor brush motor drives the roller brush to rotate. The liquid storage barrel 2 is arranged on the main body 1 of the equipment and is used for storing cleaning liquid or recycling sewage. The liquid in the liquid storage barrel 2 is called a full barrel when it reaches a set high volume, and is called an empty barrel when it reaches a set low volume; When the main body of the equipment is working, the time required for the liquid storage barrel to move from a full barrel to an empty barrel or from an empty barrel to a full barrel is the liquid endurance time. A battery component is disposed on the device body 1 for powering the cleaning device. The battery life of the battery component is the battery life. Specifically, the liquid battery life is adapted to the electric battery life.

Among them, "adaptation" can specifically mean that the liquid endurance time is equal to the electric endurance time; or the liquid endurance time is less than the electric endurance time, and the less than that is within the set tolerance of the adaptation requirements. For example, the setting tolerance is: 0 to 5 minutes.

In another feasible solution, the electric battery life is N times or more than the liquid battery life. More specifically, the liquid storage bucket is a sewage bucket, and accordingly, the liquid endurance time refers to the sewage endurance time corresponding to the sewage bucket. The battery life is N times or more than the battery life in sewage. For example, the whole house cleaning scenario is suitable for cleaning a larger area. The battery life can be long enough, and the number of cleaning of the sewage bucket can be controlled to 2 to 3 times. Optionally, the value range of N can be 2 to 6. Preferably, the electric battery life is an integer multiple of the sewage battery life. This integer can take the values 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. On this basis, considering that the actual operation is not completely accurate and there is a certain amount of ambiguity, the electric battery life The duration can be an integral multiple of the sewage battery life, such as 2 times more, 3 times more, 4 times more, 5 times more, or 6 times more.

Different types or functions of cleaning equipment have different functions of the liquid storage barrel. For example, some cleaning equipment only has a liquid storage tank for storing cleaning liquid. When the cleaning equipment cleans floors, carpets, etc., the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank continuously or intermittently outputs liquid outward through dripping or pump action. . The liquid output from the liquid storage tank can be sprayed directly to the ground, or dripped/sprayed to roller brushes, rags, etc. This embodiment is not limited to this. Or, the cleaning equipment specially used to collect sewage has only a liquid storage tank for recycling sewage. For another example, in the cleaning equipment shown in Figures 1 and 2, the liquid storage tank 2 provided thereon includes a clean water tank 21 and a sewage tank 22.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , in this embodiment, the liquid storage barrel 2 may include a clean water barrel 21 and a sewage barrel 22 . The clean water bucket 21 is used to store cleaning liquid. When the liquid in the clean water bucket 21 reaches the first set high capacity, it is called a full bucket, and when it reaches the first set low capacity, it is called an empty bucket; the clean water bucket 21 changes from full to empty. The time required for the bucket is the duration of the clean water cycle. The sewage bucket 22 is used to recycle sewage. The sewage in the sewage bucket 22 reaches the second set high capacity and is called a full bucket, and the sewage in the sewage bucket 22 reaches the second set low capacity is called an empty bucket; the sewage bucket 22 changes from empty bucket to full bucket. The required time is the sewage life time. The clean water endurance time is basically equal to the sewage endurance time.

What needs to be explained here is that from the perspective of product design, in order to make the clean water battery life equal to the sewage battery life, it is not simply to simply design the capacity of the clean water bucket to be the same as the capacity of the sewage bucket. Here we need to consider: the amount of water absorbed by the roller brush, the sewage recovery rate, the recovery amount of sewage per unit time under the action of the suction force generated by the main motor, the amount remaining in the main pipe of the equipment, etc. Therefore, these factors need to be taken into account. For example, the ratio of the capacity of the clean water tank to the capacity of the sewage tank may be 1.1-2. Preferably, the ratio of the capacity of the clean water bucket to the capacity of the sewage bucket can be 1.1 to 1.3. What needs to be noted here is that the capacity of the sewage barrel is not the actual capacity of the sewage barrel, but the maximum marked capacity of the sewage barrel, that is, the capacity of the max water level of the sewage barrel; the reason is: when the cleaning equipment is working, the main body of the equipment will Inclined, the setting of the max water level ensures that water will not contact the filter (HEPA) at the top of the sewage tank in the inclined state.

Or, in another implementation solution, the clean water battery life is M times or more than the sewage battery life. Among them, M can be 2 to 3. If M is too large, the capacity of the clean water bucket will be very large, which will increase the size of the equipment and make it less portable to use. Preferably, the clean water endurance time is an integer multiple of the sewage endurance time, such as 2 times or 3 times. On this basis, considering that the actual operation is not completely accurate and there is a certain amount of ambiguity, the clean water endurance time can be 2 times of the sewage endurance time. Double or 3 times more.

The above content is a design innovation based on the premise that the main body of the equipment works in one working mode. For example, the main body of the equipment has multiple working modes, such as low-end working mode, high-end working mode, intelligent mode, etc. Take household cleaning equipment as an example. Since the internal environment of the home is not very dirty, in most cases, users can clean it using low-end working mode or smart mode. It is assumed that in the design stage of cleaning equipment, it is considered that the cleaning area in most homes is 80 to 120 square meters, and low-end working modes are used in most cases. When designing, use the low-end working mode to determine the amount of electricity and cleaning fluid required to clean a 50-square-meter floor to design the battery capacity, clean water bucket capacity, and sewage bucket capacity.

That is, corresponding to the different working modes of the equipment body, the liquid storage barrel has multiple working gears. Among them, the various working gears of the liquid storage barrel are related to the power of the pump or the main motor. For example, if the liquid storage barrel is a clean water barrel, the various working gears of the liquid storage barrel are related to the power of the pump. If the liquid storage tank is a sewage tank, the various working gears of the liquid storage tank are related to the power of the main motor. For example, the liquid storage tank works in the first gear When in position, the liquid battery life is equal to the electric battery life. Wherein, the first gear is the gear with the lowest water output or water inflow per unit time among the multiple working gears.

It can be seen that the technical solution provided by this embodiment is to design the liquid endurance time corresponding to the liquid storage tank to be adapted to the electric endurance time of the battery component. In this way, the cleaning device can operate when the liquid storage tank is full or empty and the battery component is fully charged. Next, the user uses the cleaning equipment to clean indoor or outdoor floors. When the liquid storage tank is used from full to empty or from empty to full, the remaining power of the battery component is almost exhausted or reaches the lowest level and needs to be charged. . That is to say, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application is from the perspective of work adaptation between components during the use of the cleaning equipment, so that the liquid life time and the battery life time are adapted, reducing the user's discovery of battery failure after handling the liquid storage tank midway. The probability of being almost out of power and needing to be recharged and unable to continue working makes the product use experience better.

The design idea of this embodiment will be described below with reference to a specific product.

Assume that the product has a clean water bucket and a waste water bucket. The maximum capacity of the sewage bucket is 720ml. The 720ml here refers to the capacity of the max water level of the sewage barrel; not the actual capacity of the sewage barrel. The reason is that the main body of the cleaning equipment will tilt when it is working, and the max water level is set so that the water will not contact the filter (HEPA) on the top of the sewage tank in the tilted state. The capacity of the clean water bucket is 880ml.

Table 1 below shows the pump flow rate (ml/min) of the pump in the corresponding working mode of each gear of the cleaning equipment, that is, the water output (ml) of the clean water bucket per unit time (i.e. 1 minute).

Each of the above-mentioned gear modes can be selected by the user through the interactive device of the cleaning equipment, or can be automatically determined by the cleaning equipment based on the degree of dirtiness. The degree of contamination may be determined based on detection information from a detection device (such as a second detection device that will be mentioned below) provided on the cleaning equipment. For example, the second detection device can be installed in the sewage recovery pipe or the sewage bucket to detect the dirtiness of the recovered sewage. The controller of the cleaning equipment can measure the contamination of the sewage based on the detection information detected by the second detection device to obtain the corresponding degree of contamination.

Take the cleaning equipment working in 1st gear mode as an example:

The nominal capacity of the cells in the battery assembly is 4000mAh, and the actual output capacity of the battery assembly is approximately 3600mAh. In the 1st gear mode, the pump flow rate is 20ml/min (that is, the clean water bucket works in the 1st gear), and the main motor power is 90W.

According to the following formula 1, the calculated theoretical battery life is:
Battery life=(battery pack rated voltage*actual capacity)/machine power=(3.6V*7*3600mAh)/90W=(3.6*7*3.6)/90=1.008h (Formula 1)

In formula 1, the rated voltage of the battery pack is the rated voltage of each battery 3.6V * the number of batteries. The battery pack on the current product includes 7 batteries. According to laboratory measurements, during actual operation, the battery life was measured to be 43 minutes, which is shorter than the calculated 1 hour. This is because in addition to the work of the main motor, it actually also includes the power of other components such as the floor brush motor, pump, and display screen. loss.
Clean water battery life = clean water bucket capacity/pump flow rate = (880*98%)/20 = 43.12 minutes (Formula 2)
Sewage life time = (sewage bucket capacity + roller brush water absorption capacity 25ml + residual amount on the barrel wall and pipe 5ml)/
(Water recovery rate * pump flow rate) = (720+25+5)/(90%*20) (The 1st gear mode corresponds to a water recovery rate of 90%, which can be measured experimentally) = 41.6 minutes (Formula 3)

It can be seen from the above calculation that the battery life, clean water life and sewage life are basically the same. Judging from the specific numerical values, the battery life of clean water is slightly longer than the battery life of sewage.

When designing the battery life adaptation between components, in order to make the battery life of the above three products basically the same, we can start with the following three parameters: clean water bucket capacity, sewage bucket capacity, and battery capacity.

According to Formula 2 and Formula 3, it can be concluded that the capacity of the clean water bucket * water recovery rate = the capacity of the sewage bucket + the water absorption capacity of the roller brush 25ml + the residual volume of the barrel wall and pipe 5ml. In order to keep the clean water battery life basically consistent with the sewage battery life, the capacity proportional relationship between the clean water bucket and the sewage bucket can be designed according to Formula 2 and Formula 3.

Or, in another embodiment, when the clean water endurance time is required to be more than N times the sewage endurance time (N=2 or 3), the capacity proportional relationship between the clean water bucket and the sewage bucket can also be obtained according to Formula 2 and Formula 3. .

The electric battery life in the 1st gear mode is basically the same as the water battery life (clean water battery life or sewage battery life). In other gear modes, it is necessary to ensure that the electric battery life is longer than the water battery life.

Take the cleaning equipment working in the 5th gear mode as an example: the pump flow rate of the pump is 100ml/min (that is, the clean water bucket works in the 5th gear), and the main motor power is 120W.

According to the above formula 1, the calculated theoretical battery life is:
Battery life=(battery pack rated voltage*actual capacity)/machine power=(3.6V*7*3600mAh)/120W=(3.6*7*3.6)/90=45min

According to laboratory measurements, the measured battery life is approximately 36 minutes during actual operation.
Clean water battery life = clean water bucket capacity/pump flow rate
= (880*98%)/100 = 8.62 minutes of sewage life = (sewage bucket capacity + roller brush water absorption 25ml + barrel wall and pipe residual volume 5ml)/
(Water recovery rate * pump flow rate) = (720+25+5)/(92%*100) (the 5th gear mode corresponds to a water recovery rate of 92%) = 8.15 minutes

It can be seen from the above that in the 5-speed mode, the clean water battery life and the sewage battery life are basically the same. Judging from the specific numerical values, the battery life of clean water is slightly longer than the battery life of sewage.

The above content is based on a certain mode as the design basis, and the cleaning equipment is designed to match the parameters of the sewage bucket, the bucket parameters of the clean water bucket and the battery capacity. In essence, the smart mode of the cleaning device can also be used as a design baseline. When the cleaning equipment is working in smart mode, when the dirt sensor in the recycling channel detects that the sewage is heavily polluted, the main motor will increase the power, and the pump flow rate will be increased simultaneously to increase the output of clean water; when sewage is detected When the pollution is medium or low, the main motor power decreases and the pump flow rate decreases simultaneously. Therefore, after obtaining the parameters of each component in smart mode, we can make a matching design for the battery, clean water bucket, sewage bucket and other parameters based on the following formulas, so that the parameters, selection and design of each component of the cleaning equipment are more suitable. Matching, science.

M (sewage bucket capacity + liquid consumption)/water recovery rate = clean water bucket capacity;

Battery life = N (sewage bucket capacity + liquid consumption) / (water recovery rate * pump flow rate)

Among them, the pump flow rate is the working parameter of the pump in intelligent mode, and the liquid consumption is a default value (the water absorption capacity of the roller brush above is 25ml + the residual amount of the barrel wall and pipe is 5ml); the water recovery rate is related to the power of the main motor in intelligent mode. The greater the power of the motor, the higher the water recovery rate. N=2～6; M=1～3.

Furthermore, this embodiment also innovates the control of the cleaning equipment from a dynamic perspective. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6 , the cleaning equipment provided in this embodiment may further include: a first detection device 4 and a controller 9 . The first detection device 4 is used to detect the available amount of the liquid storage barrel 2 , where the available amount is the current available cleaning liquid amount or the current recyclable liquid amount in the liquid storage barrel 2 . The controller 9 is electrically connected to the battery component 10 and the first detection device 4, and is used to obtain the remaining power of the battery component 10, based on the available amount and the remaining power, and calculate it using a battery life adaptation algorithm. The working parameters of the equipment main body; the operation of the equipment main body is controlled according to the working parameters, so that the liquid endurance time corresponding to the available amount of the liquid storage barrel is suitable for the electric endurance time corresponding to the remaining power of the battery component. match.

Specifically, the operating parameters of the equipment body may include but are not limited to at least one of the following:

The pump water volume of the cleaning liquid pumped out from the liquid storage barrel, the main motor power related to the water output of the liquid storage barrel, the output speed of the floor brush motor, the brightness of the display screen on the equipment body, and the voice playback on the equipment body Functions are turned on or off, etc.

The core purpose of the calculation of the battery life adaptation algorithm in this embodiment is to adapt the liquid battery life to the electric battery life by adjusting the working parameters of the working parts of the cleaning equipment, so that the cleaning equipment can be used between the current available volume of the liquid storage tank and the current With remaining battery power, you can continue working longer without interruption. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the battery life adaptation algorithm.

For example, if there is not much remaining power in the battery and there is still a lot of water left in the clean water bucket, you can turn off some power-consuming functions, such as the voice playback function, the display function of the display, etc., to reduce the power consumption of the cleaning equipment. Make every effort to ensure the cleaning time of cleaning equipment.

In a specific embodiment, the liquid storage barrel 2 includes a clean water barrel 21 and a sewage barrel 22 . The cleaning equipment also includes a second detection device 5 . The second detection device 5 is electrically connected to the controller 9 and is used to detect the contamination degree of the sewage recovered to the sewage barrel 22 . Correspondingly, the first detection device 4 mentioned above can be used to detect the currently available amount of cleaning liquid in the clean water bucket 21 . For example, the first detection device may be a liquid level sensor, and the amount of cleaning liquid in the clean water bucket can be obtained from the liquid level information sensed by the liquid level sensor.

Correspondingly, when the controller 9 calculates the operating parameters of the device body based on the available amount and the remaining power and using the endurance adaptation algorithm, it can be used to:

When the currently available cleaning liquid volume is greater than or equal to the threshold, the working parameters of the equipment body are determined based on the sewage contamination degree. The working parameters mainly include main motor power and pump water volume;

When the currently available cleaning liquid volume is less than the threshold, the battery life adaptation algorithm is used to calculate the working parameters of the equipment body based on the currently available cleaning liquid volume and the remaining power. The working parameters mainly include the main body. Motor power, pump water volume.
