In addition, for simplicity and clarity of understanding, elements having the same structure or function in some of the figures may be shown only schematically or only schematically.
Before describing the structure of the pool cleaning robot with the inner cavity and the water paths distributed in a tapered shape (hereinafter referred to as the pool cleaning robot) in the embodiment of the present application, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a brief description is first given to an application scenario of the pool cleaning robot, so as to facilitate understanding.
As shown in fig. 1, the pool cleaning robot can autonomously move within the pool and collect contaminants (e.g., leaves, etc.) within the pool during the movement while cleaning the bottom and/or side walls of the pool. The swimming pool cleaning robot mainly comprises a cleaning robot shell, a driving mechanism, a rolling brush mechanism, a filtering basket 40, a sealed cabin 20 and the like.
Wherein, be provided with water inlet 11 and delivery port 12 on the cleaning machines people's casing, water inlet 11 is located cleaning machines people's casing bottom, and delivery port 12 is located cleaning machines people's casing top. The driving mechanism is arranged on the cleaning robot shell and can drive the cleaning robot shell to move. The rolling brush mechanism is arranged on the cleaning robot shell, and cleans the bottom surface or the side wall of the swimming pool in the moving process of the swimming pool cleaning robot in the swimming pool.
The filtering basket 40 is arranged in the cleaning robot shell and corresponds to the water inlet 11 on the cleaning robot shell, so that water entering the cleaning robot shell from the water inlet 11 can flow out of the water outlet 12 after being filtered by the filtering basket 40, and the filtering and cleaning effects on the water are guaranteed. The filter basket 40 includes a screen through which contaminants are filtered and retained within the filter basket 40.
In order to provide flowing power for water, a sealed cabin 20 is arranged in the cleaning robot shell, a water pump motor 50 is arranged in the sealed cabin 20, an output shaft of the water pump motor 50 extends out of the sealed cabin 20, an impeller is connected to the output shaft, a water outlet duct part 21 is arranged outside the impeller, and the impeller on the output shaft is driven to rotate when the water pump motor 50 rotates, so that water is sucked into the cleaning robot shell from a water inlet 11 and then is discharged from a water outlet 12. In the course of the swimming pool cleaning robot cleaning, pollutants are continuously accumulated in the filter basket 40, which causes the resistance of water flow to be continuously increased, and if the filter basket 40 is blocked, the cleaning efficiency is greatly influenced. In addition, if the pollutants pass through the filter basket 40 or enter the cleaning robot housing from other positions accidentally, the pollutants are wound around the output shaft of the water pump motor 50, the operation safety of the water pump motor 50 is affected, and the cleaning efficiency is also reduced.
To solve these problems, embodiments of the present application provide a method of detecting clogging of a pool cleaning robot, as shown in fig. 2, the method comprising the steps of:
step S102: the actual operating voltage of the water pump motor 50 is collected.
Step S104: if the actual working voltage of the water pump motor 50 meets the trigger condition, whether the swimming pool cleaning robot is blocked or not is judged according to the N actual working voltages of the water pump motor 50 continuously collected within the set time period.
Step S106: if so, determining the clogging degree of the swimming pool cleaning robot of the filter basket 40 according to at least part of the N actual working voltages.
The method utilizes the characteristic that the actual working voltage of the water pump motor 50 is related to the external load, and the actual working voltage of the water pump motor 50 is collected to determine the external load of the water pump motor 50, and the external load is related to the blocking degree of the filter basket 40 and whether foreign matters are wound on the output shaft of the water pump motor 50, so that the blocking degree of the swimming pool cleaning robot can be determined by utilizing the actual working voltage, such as the blocking degree of the filter basket 40, and the blocking degree of the filter basket 40 is detected or whether the foreign matters are wound on the output shaft is judged under the condition that a sensor is not additionally added. The method comprises the steps of collecting continuous N actual working voltages (N is a positive integer) when the actual working voltages of the water pump motor 50 meet a trigger condition, and determining the blockage degree of the swimming pool cleaning robot according to at least part of the N actual working voltages, so that the detection accuracy of the blockage degree is guaranteed.
The method is described in detail below with reference to a specific example as follows:
in this example, as shown in fig. 3, one end of the water pump motor 50 is connected to the power supply terminal, the other end of the water pump motor 50 is connected to one end of the current sampling resistor 60, the other end of the current sampling resistor 60 is grounded, and the operational amplifier circuit (not shown) is connected to the current sampling resistor 60, and the operational amplifier circuit can be connected to the controller of the pool cleaning robot.
In one implementation, step S102 may be implemented as: the actual working voltage of the water pump motor 50 is obtained by collecting the voltage of the current sampling resistor 60 processed by the operational amplifier circuit.
Because the current sampling resistor 60 is connected in series with the water pump motor 50, the currents of the water pump motor 50 and the current sampling resistor 60 are consistent, the current flowing through the water pump motor 50 changes along with the change of an external load of the water pump motor 50, so that the voltages at two ends of the current sampling resistor 60 change, the operational amplification circuit performs operational amplification on the voltage of the current sampling resistor 60 and sends the processed voltage to the controller, and the controller can calculate the actual working voltage of the water pump motor 50 according to the voltage of the current sampling resistor 60.
The relationship between the actual operating voltage and the current of the water pump motor 50 can be known from equation 1.
Equation 1
U is the actual operating voltage of the water pump motor 50, n is the rotational speed of the water pump motor 50, is the constant of the water pump motor 50 (related to its structure and specification), is the magnetic flux of the water pump motor 50, I is the current of the water pump motor 50, and R is the internal resistance of the water pump motor 50.
As can be seen from the above equation 1, since the water pump motor 50 is constant when it is fixed, the actual operating voltage of the water pump voltage and the current are positively correlated with each other when the rotation speed is kept constant. This causes the current and the actual operating voltage of the water pump motor 50 to vary as the external load varies.
And determining whether the collected actual working voltage meets the triggering condition or not based on the collected actual working voltage. If the trigger condition is satisfied, step S104 is executed. Otherwise, no action may be taken.
Wherein, determining whether the actual operating voltage of the water pump motor 50 satisfies the trigger condition may be implemented as: acquiring a mapping relation between voltage and a blockage degree; judging whether the acquired actual working voltage of the water pump motor 50 falls into any voltage interval of the water pump motor 50 corresponding to each of the plurality of blockage degrees; if yes, the triggering condition is met.
The voltage and clogging degree map is used to indicate a voltage range of the water pump motor 50 corresponding to each of the plurality of clogging degrees. For example, the clogging degree is divided into 50%, (50% to 70%, (70% to 90%, (90% to 100%) and the like, and the division method is not limited thereto, and the manner of division may be appropriately adjusted according to the actual situation, and each clogging degree corresponds to one voltage interval, for example, the clogging degree is 50% in the (voltage value 1, voltage value 2) interval, the clogging degree (50% to 70%) in the (voltage value 2, voltage value 3) interval, the clogging degree (70% to 90%) in the (voltage value 3, voltage value 4) interval, the clogging degree (90% to 100%) in the (voltage value 4, voltage value 5) interval, and the like.
The aforementioned mapping relationship may be obtained by: respectively collecting a plurality of voltages of the water pump motor 50 corresponding to each blockage degree aiming at a plurality of blockage degrees of the swimming pool cleaning robot; determining a voltage interval corresponding to each blockage degree according to a plurality of voltages corresponding to each blockage degree; and determining a mapping relation according to the voltage interval corresponding to each blockage degree.
Use the filter screen to block up as the example, drive swimming pool cleaning machines people works in the swimming pool, and along with work carry out the filter screen and block up gradually, when the filter screen blockked up 50%, gather water pump motor 50's voltage. And then cleaning the filter screen to enable the blockage degree of the filter screen to be lower than 50%, continuing to work, collecting the voltage again when the blockage degree reaches 50%, repeating the steps until the required number of voltages are collected, selecting the lowest value of the collected voltage as the lower limit value of the voltage interval, and selecting the highest value of the collected voltage as the upper limit value of the voltage interval. Of course, other adjustments may be performed on the collected voltage, and the voltage interval may be determined, which is not limited. This way the mapping relation can be determined.
When foreign matter is wound around the output shaft of the water pump motor 50, the mapping relationship is determined in a manner similar to that of a filter screen, and therefore, the description is omitted.
If the actual working voltage falls into any one of the voltage intervals, determining that the trigger condition is met; on the contrary, it can be determined that the trigger condition is not satisfied, so that the clogging degree can be judged infrequently, and thus the power consumption can be reduced.
When the trigger condition is satisfied, step S104 may be performed.
In step S104, it is determined whether the pool cleaning robot is clogged based on the N actual operating voltages of the water pump motor 50 continuously collected for the set period of time.
Due to the fact that the actual working environment is complex, the actual working voltage may fluctuate abnormally or fluctuate due to other reasons, therefore, under the condition that the trigger condition is met, N actual working voltages within a set time period (such as 3 seconds, 5 seconds or 10 seconds) can be collected, and whether the swimming pool cleaning robot is really blocked or not can be determined based on the N actual working voltages. Therefore, misjudgment caused by abnormal fluctuation of the actual working voltage can be reduced, and the accuracy is improved.
For example, in one possible approach, step S104 may be implemented as: determining a first average value of the N actual working voltages, and judging whether the first average value falls into any voltage interval of the water pump motor 50 corresponding to each of the plurality of blockage degrees; if yes, the swimming pool cleaning robot is judged to be blocked.
The first average value may be a ratio of the sum of N actual operating voltages to N, and the first average value indicates the external load condition of the water pump motor 50 within a set time period, that is, indicates that the filter basket 40 is clogged and/or the output shaft of the water pump motor 50 is entangled, and if the first average value falls within a certain voltage interval, it indicates that the swimming pool cleaning robot is actually clogged, and it is necessary to further determine the clogging degree.
If it is determined that the pool cleaning robot has a blockage, step S106 is performed.
Step S106: and determining the blockage degree of the swimming pool cleaning robot according to at least part of the N actual working voltages.
In one possible approach, step S106 may be implemented as: intercepting M actual working voltages in the N actual working voltages, and determining a second average value of the M actual working voltages; and determining the current blockage degree of the swimming pool cleaning robot according to the mapping relation and the second average value of the M actual working voltages.
M is a positive integer and less than or equal to N. The M actual operating voltages may be the actual operating voltages collected within the last P seconds (e.g., the last 1 second, or the last 3 seconds, etc.). P is a positive integer. The second average of the M actual operating voltages is a ratio of the sum of the M actual voltages to M.
And determining the blockage degree corresponding to the voltage interval to which the second average value belongs based on the mapping relation, and taking the blockage degree as the blockage degree of the swimming pool cleaning robot. If the second average value falls in the interval of (voltage value 3, voltage value 4), the blockage degree of the swimming pool cleaning robot is (70% -90%).
Further, a more accurate degree of occlusion may be determined based on the location of the second average in the voltage interval, e.g., the degree of occlusion is about 76% if the second average is located at 1/3 of the voltage interval, etc.
In one possible approach, as shown in fig. 4, after determining the clogging degree of the pool cleaning robot, the method further includes step S108.
Step S108: and generating a notification message according to the blockage degree of the swimming pool cleaning robot, and sending the notification message to a notification device to instruct the notification device to display the blockage degree, wherein the notification device comprises at least one of a mobile terminal and a display screen mounted on the swimming pool cleaning robot.
After the clogging degree is determined, in order to facilitate the user to know the clogging degree, or to remind the user to clean the filter screen of the filter basket 40 and/or check whether the output shaft of the water pump motor 50 is wound in time, a notification message is generated based on the clogging degree, and the notification message is sent to a notification device for display. The notification equipment can be a mobile terminal of a user, such as a smart phone, a smart tablet, a smart watch and the like, or the notification equipment can also be a display screen or an indicator light and the like mounted on the swimming pool cleaning robot, as long as the blockage degree can be displayed for the user.
Alternatively, in other embodiments, the method can further include step S110 after determining the clogging degree of the pool cleaning robot at step S106, or after having sent a notification message to the notification apparatus instructing the notification apparatus to exhibit the clogging degree at step S108.
Step S110: after determining that the pool cleaning robot is in a blocked state or having sent a notification message to the notification apparatus to instruct the notification apparatus to display the degree of blocking, continuously collecting the latest Q actual operating voltages of the water pump motor, determining the latest degree of blocking according to the Q actual operating voltages, generating a notification message according to the latest degree of blocking, and sending the notification message to the notification apparatus.
After determining that the swimming pool cleaning robot is in a blocked state or sending a notification message to the notification device to instruct the notification device to show the blocking degree, the blocking degree may change, such as continuously increasing, as the swimming pool cleaning robot continues to work, in this case, in order to more quickly and accurately determine the blocking degree, reduce the amount of calculation and power consumption, when determining that the swimming pool cleaning robot is in the blocked state, the latest Q (Q is a positive integer) actual working voltages are continuously collected, and the latest blocking degree is determined according to the Q actual working voltages; the method comprises the steps of collecting the latest Q (Q is a positive integer) actual working voltages, determining the latest blockage degree according to the Q actual working voltages, collecting the latest Q (Q is a positive integer) actual working voltages, and determining the latest blockage degree according to the Q actual working voltages.
The method for determining the clogging degree based on the Q actual operating voltages may be the same as the method for determining the clogging degree based on the M actual operating voltages, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted. Q may be equal to M, or not, without limitation.
And generating a notification message according to the latest filter screen blockage degree, and sending the notification message to corresponding notification equipment so as to facilitate the user to check. This enables the user to grasp the latest clogging degree in time.
The method can reliably detect the blockage of the swimming pool cleaning robot (such as the blockage degree of a filter screen or whether foreign objects are wound on the output shaft of the water pump motor 50) by monitoring the actual working voltage of the water pump motor 50, thereby ensuring the working reliability and safety of the swimming pool cleaning robot.
