Description

地板清潔設備及其操作方法    Floor cleaning equipment and method of operation   

本發明係有關於一種操作地板清潔設備之方法，其地板清潔設備例如為手持式吸塵器，具有至少一個能以不同工作模式工作的電動清潔馬達、數個用於供使用者手動輸入工作預設值的操作元件以及電子控制裝置，而在該控制裝置中保存有該等工作預設值對諸工作模式之邏輯關聯。 The invention relates to a method for operating a floor cleaning device. The floor cleaning device is, for example, a hand-held vacuum cleaner, having at least one electric cleaning motor that can work in different working modes, and several for the user to manually input work preset values Operating elements and electronic control devices, and the control device stores the logical association of the working preset values with the working modes.

此外，本發明係有關於一種用於實施此方法之地板清潔設備。 In addition, the present invention relates to a floor cleaning device for implementing this method.

例如由DE 10 2016 118 248 A1、DE 10 2012 109 627 A1已知地板清潔設備。兩案所描述之手持式吸塵器具有由抽吸風扇馬達驅動的抽吸風扇以及附加件，而該附加件同樣具有電動馬達。藉由壓力感測器，可測定抽吸管道內部之負壓。 For example, DE 10 2016 118 248 A1, DE 10 2012 109 627 A1 are known for floor cleaning equipment. The handheld vacuum cleaners described in the two cases have a suction fan driven by a suction fan motor and an additional part, and the additional part also has an electric motor. With the pressure sensor, the negative pressure inside the suction pipe can be measured.

DE 10 2015 100 977 A1描述一種清潔機器人，具有用於測定地板類型之光學測量裝置。 DE 10 2015 100 977 A1 describes a cleaning robot with an optical measuring device for determining the type of floor.

由DE 10 2014 110 083 A1已知一種方法，實施該方法時可在由電動馬達驅動的設備上測定操作參數。 From DE 10 2014 110 083 A1, a method is known, in which the operating parameters can be determined on a device driven by an electric motor.

DE 10 2016 101 040描述了用於在抽吸式清潔設備上調節抽吸通道之抽吸橫截面的手段。 DE 10 2016 101 040 describes means for adjusting the suction cross section of the suction channel on a suction cleaning device.

地板清潔設備及特別是手持式吸塵器具有操作面板，該操作面板具有例如由諸多開關所構成的操作元件。使用者可藉由此等開關以輸 入工作預設值。舉例而言，使用者可藉由操縱其中一個開關而例如使抽吸風扇以最高的功率工作，從而啟動其設備。藉由操縱另一個操作元件可改變其工作模式，即，例如使抽吸風扇以減小的功率工作，或者不允許抽吸管道之內部為低於一定的負壓。此外，可藉由操縱操作元件以使地板清潔設備之工作參數適應特定的地板類型。 Floor cleaning devices and in particular hand-held vacuum cleaners have an operating panel with an operating element composed of, for example, switches. The user can input the working preset value through these switches. For example, the user can activate one of the switches to operate the suction fan at the highest power, for example, to activate his device. The operating mode can be changed by manipulating another operating element, ie, for example, the suction fan is operated with reduced power, or the inside of the suction duct is not allowed to be below a certain negative pressure. In addition, the operating parameters of the floor cleaning equipment can be adapted to specific floor types by manipulating the operating elements.

工作預設值與特定的工作模式之關聯係固定地整合於電子控制裝置中，不受使用者操控。 The relationship between the working preset value and the specific working mode is fixedly integrated in the electronic control device and is not controlled by the user.

本發明之目的在於提供能使地板清潔設備之工作範圍適應使用者之個人需求的措施。 The purpose of the present invention is to provide measures that can adapt the working range of the floor cleaning equipment to the personal needs of users.

該目的透過申請專利範圍所給出之發明而達成。 This objective is achieved by applying for the invention given in the patent scope.

根據本發明，工作預設值與工作模式之邏輯關聯係保存在電子控制裝置中，且可被使用者所改變。為此，使用了通用資料顯示及輸入設備，可透過資料傳輸鏈路以連接地板清潔設備。藉由通用資料顯示及輸入設備，亦可修改工作模式，例如，可在各種工作模式之預設的目錄中添加其他工作模式，而使其他工作模式與操作元件相關聯。可設置一或數個操作元件，該等操作元件可各自與一個工作模式相關聯，從而在操縱其中一個操作元件時，啟用對應於該操作元件的工作模式。可從外部改變其對應關係。資料傳輸鏈路可為例如可藉由USB線纜而實現的有線傳輸鏈路。然而，地板清潔設備或其控制裝置較佳係以無線方式與資料顯示及輸入設備進行通訊。此點可藉由WLAN連接(例如藉由WPS)而實現。為此，地板清潔設備特別有利地係接入局域網路(local network)，特別是接入WLAN網路。然而，諸資料顯示及輸入設備之間的資料交換亦可藉由其他的無線協定(例如藍牙)而實現。亦可透過行動無線電網路以實現資料交換。地板清潔 設備例如可具有配置儲存器，當中儲存有各種配置，其中，每種配置對應一個關聯。藉由資料顯示及輸入設備上之圖解的顯示以選擇其關聯，其中，為此亦可使用來自外部的計算裝置(雲端)的資料，藉由該等資料以對使用者提供哪些工作模式例如適於用來清潔特定的地板類型之建議。特別有利地，地板清潔設備具有地板識別感測器，例如，超音波感測器，藉由該地板識別感測器以識別待清潔地板之品質。可用地板類型為待清潔地板進行分類，例如，硬地板或地毯種類。為此，地板感測器可佈置在附加件中。然而，本發明亦提出：使用者係手動地預設地板種類。藉由與資料顯示及輸入設備配合作用或者由資料顯示及輸入設備所驅動的資料處理程式，可為使用者提供關於各種地板類型之目錄。使用者可從此目錄中選出其個別化的清潔任務所針對的地板類型。接著，使用者可從抽吸參數目錄中為每種考慮到的地板類型分配合適的工作模式。不同的操作元件可與不同地板的類型邏輯上相關聯，因此，對某一個操作元件實施操縱，會使得地板清潔設備自行切換至最適合用來清潔此地板類型的參數。亦可預設有別於預設值的工作模式。工作模式特別是包括清潔強度、清潔品質、在地板上推動地板清潔設備所需的推力。此處的推力可為最小或最大的推力。工作模式進一步包括一或數個電動馬達之轉速，且特別是最小或最大的轉速。工作模式還可以是抽吸通道橫截面、抽吸功率或抽吸通道中之最小的負壓。附加件可具有機械元件，例如密封唇，其位置可用作為工作模式。若地板清潔設備為由蓄電池供電的設備，則另一個工作模式可為最短的電池運行時間，或者為最大的音量。藉由資料顯示及輸入設備所生成的配置資料可保存在地板清潔設備之儲存器中。由此形成的關聯或者說從中獲得的電動馬達用之工作參數可被傳輸至附加件，例如，刷子設備。然而，本發明亦提出：附加件具有自有配置儲存器，其中儲存有諸多配置。此外，地板清 潔設備能以自動模式工作，在此自動模式下，地板識別感測器例如係藉由偵測抽吸通道中的負壓或者藉由偵測推力而可測定其地板類型。而後，可基於以此方式測定的地板類型值以設置工作參數。若資料顯示及輸入設備被建構為向使用者提出關於工作模式之選擇的建議，則可進一步地做出如下設置：向使用者顯示其工作模式之優點及缺點，例如，清潔品質、音量、處理方式及/或蓄電池裝置之電池運行時間。為了設置工作模式且特別是抽吸參數，特別是可識別當前的地板並且將該地板編入地板群組。若感測器對應於附加件，則將此資訊傳輸至地板清潔設備之控制裝置。使用者可為此地板種類而採用被推薦的、但可自由選擇的設置。使用者可進一步選擇是否在半自動模式下以此方案處理同一地板群組中之其他的地板。作為替代方案，亦可採用全局例程(global routine)，即，將從某一地板測定的參數沿用於其他的地板。此點可藉由偵測推力而實現。 According to the present invention, the logical relationship between the working preset value and the working mode is stored in the electronic control device and can be changed by the user. For this purpose, universal data display and input devices are used, which can be connected to floor cleaning equipment through data transmission links. With the common data display and input device, the working mode can also be modified. For example, other working modes can be added to the preset directories of various working modes, so that the other working modes are associated with the operating elements. One or several operating elements may be provided, and these operating elements may each be associated with one operating mode, so that when one of the operating elements is manipulated, the operating mode corresponding to that operating element is activated. The corresponding relationship can be changed from the outside. The data transmission link may be, for example, a wired transmission link that can be realized by a USB cable. However, the floor cleaning equipment or its control device preferably communicates with the data display and input equipment wirelessly. This can be achieved by WLAN connection (for example by WPS). For this reason, the floor cleaning equipment is particularly advantageously connected to a local network, especially to a WLAN network. However, data display and data exchange between input devices can also be achieved by other wireless protocols (such as Bluetooth). Data exchange can also be achieved through mobile radio networks. The floor cleaning device may, for example, have a configuration storage in which various configurations are stored, wherein each configuration corresponds to an association. The data display and the graphical display on the input device are used to select its association. Among them, data from an external computing device (cloud) can also be used, and the data can be used to provide users with which working modes such as Recommended for cleaning specific floor types. Particularly advantageously, the floor cleaning device has a floor recognition sensor, for example, an ultrasonic sensor, by which the quality of the floor to be cleaned is recognized. The available floor types are the types of floors to be cleaned, for example, hard floor or carpet types. To this end, the floor sensor may be arranged in the add-on. However, the present invention also proposes that the user manually presets the floor type. By cooperating with the data display and input device or the data processing program driven by the data display and input device, the user can be provided with a list of various floor types. From this list, users can select the type of floor targeted for their individual cleaning tasks. Then, the user can assign a suitable working mode for each type of floor considered from the suction parameter list. Different operating elements can be logically associated with different types of floors. Therefore, manipulating a certain operating element will cause the floor cleaning equipment to switch to the parameters most suitable for cleaning this floor type. It is also possible to preset a working mode different from the preset value. The working mode includes, in particular, cleaning intensity, cleaning quality, and the thrust required to push the floor cleaning equipment on the floor. The thrust here can be the minimum or maximum thrust. The operating mode further includes the rotation speed of one or several electric motors, and in particular the minimum or maximum rotation speed. The operating mode can also be the suction channel cross-section, the suction power or the minimum negative pressure in the suction channel. The attachment can have mechanical elements, such as sealing lips, whose position can be used as a working mode. If the floor cleaning device is a device powered by a battery, another working mode may be the shortest battery runtime or the maximum volume. The configuration data generated by the data display and input device can be stored in the storage of the floor cleaning device. The association thus formed or the operating parameters for the electric motor obtained therefrom can be transmitted to additional parts, for example brush equipment. However, the invention also proposes that the add-on has its own configuration storage, in which many configurations are stored. In addition, the floor cleaning equipment can be operated in an automatic mode. In this automatic mode, the floor recognition sensor can determine the floor type by detecting the negative pressure in the suction channel or by detecting the thrust, for example. Then, the operating parameters can be set based on the floor type value determined in this way. If the data display and input device is constructed to suggest to the user about the choice of working mode, the following settings can be further made: to show the user the advantages and disadvantages of their working mode, such as cleaning quality, volume, processing Method and / or battery operating time of the battery device. In order to set the working mode and in particular the suction parameters, it is possible in particular to identify the current floor and to group the floor into floor groups. If the sensor corresponds to an additional part, this information is transmitted to the control device of the floor cleaning equipment. Users can adopt the recommended but freely selectable settings for this type of floor. The user can further choose whether to process other floors in the same floor group in this scheme in semi-automatic mode. As an alternative, a global routine can also be used, that is, the parameters measured from a certain floor are used for other floors. This can be achieved by detecting thrust.

藉由上述措施而對地板清潔設備進行改良，以便能藉由操縱不同的操作元件以採取使用者所指定的工作模式，其中，諸工作模式中之一者亦可為自動模式。為此，藉由所用的資料顯示及輸入設備以改變工作預設值與工作模式之間的邏輯關聯，其中，改變了電子控制裝置之配置儲存器中的配置資料。 By the above measures, the floor cleaning equipment is improved so that the operation mode specified by the user can be adopted by operating different operating elements, and one of the operation modes can also be an automatic mode. To this end, the logical association between the working preset value and the working mode is changed by the data display and input device used, wherein the configuration data in the configuration memory of the electronic control device is changed.

The floor cleaning apparatus 1 of the present invention has a suction fan 2, which has an electric motor. In addition, a program-controlled electronic control device 6 is provided inside the casing of the floor cleaning device 1, and the control device may be constituted by a microcontroller or similar device together with its peripheral devices. An operation panel 9 including operation elements 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 is provided on the outside of the casing, and these operation elements are switches or buttons, respectively. The suction connection of the floor cleaning device 1 is inserted into an additional part 3, which may have a roller brush driven by an electric motor, for example.

元件符號5用以標示控制指令，電子控制裝置6可向抽吸風扇2之電動馬達或附加件3之電動馬達發出該等控制指令，以例如預設該等電動馬達之轉速、輸入功率或其他工作參數。 The component symbol 5 is used to indicate control commands, and the electronic control device 6 may issue the control commands to the electric motor of the suction fan 2 or the electric motor of the attachment 3, for example, to preset the rotation speed, input power or other of the electric motors Working parameters.

Transmit the sensor data 7 of the sensor 4 to the electronic control device 6. The sensor 4 may correspond to the suction device 2 or the attachment 3. If the sensor 4 corresponds to the add-on 3, a line connection for transmitting sensor data may be provided between the add-on 3 and the control device 6.

操作元件9.0、9.1、9.2及9.3係藉由資料線以連接電子控制裝置6。透過此資料線可輸入工作預設值。此係藉由操縱操作元件9.0、9.1、9.2或9.3中之一者或數者而實現。 The operating elements 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 are connected to the electronic control device 6 via data lines. Through this data line, you can enter the work preset value. This is achieved by manipulating one or more of operating elements 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 or 9.3.

資料顯示及輸入設備13之螢幕向使用者顯示地板類型目錄14，在該目錄中顯示有典型的待清潔地板，例如，硬地板、地毯、木地板等等。在抽吸參數目錄15中提供了典型的及/或最佳的抽吸參數或者是用於控制抽吸風扇或附加件之其他的工作參數，使用者可採用上述參數，或者亦可加以更改。 The screen of the data display and input device 13 displays a list 14 of floor types to the user, in which typical floors to be cleaned, such as hard floors, carpets, wooden floors, etc., are displayed. The suction parameter list 15 provides typical and / or optimal suction parameters or other operating parameters for controlling the suction fan or add-on. The user can use the above parameters or modify them.

使用者可經由選擇而確定使用者指定的模式，即，使用者想要以何種強度清潔哪些地板。作為替選方案，可對操作元件9.1、9.2、9.3之預定義的等級/位置進行調整與更改。如此一來，每個操作元件皆形成個別化的功能按鈕。 The user can determine the mode specified by the user, that is, which floor the user wants to clean with which intensity. As an alternative, the predefined levels / positions of the operating elements 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 can be adjusted and changed. In this way, each operating element forms an individual function button.

較佳地，在行動終端機上藉由應用程式而為功能按鈕之功能重編程式。資料顯示及輸入設備13之螢幕上可顯示當前正在使用哪個附加件。此附加件之工作參數能以選單驅動之方式，藉由在資料顯示及輸入設備13上實施輸入操作而加以修改。如此則可確定其參數，例如，清潔強度或用於地板清潔設備1之推力，或者確定地板清潔設備1與某一附加件3之組合。亦可針對各種不同的附加件而確定此等參數。此外，可例如透過密封唇調節或者藉由限制馬達功率以預設抽吸功率。藉由改變附加件3連同主機之抽吸風扇2之工作參數，皆可實現其抽吸功率。 Preferably, the function of the function button is reprogrammed on the mobile terminal by an application program. The screen of the data display and input device 13 can show which add-on is currently being used. The working parameters of this add-on can be modified in a menu-driven manner by performing input operations on the data display and input device 13. In this way, its parameters can be determined, for example, the cleaning intensity or the thrust for the floor cleaning device 1, or the combination of the floor cleaning device 1 and an additional piece 3. These parameters can also be determined for various additional parts. In addition, the suction power can be preset, for example, by adjusting the sealing lip or by limiting the motor power. By changing the operating parameters of the attachment 3 and the suction fan 2 of the host, the suction power can be achieved.

在資料顯示及輸入設備13上亦可進一步地向使用者呈現使 用者先前所選擇的設置之預期結果，例如，清潔品質、音量、處理方式或蓄電池運行時間。 The data display and input device 13 may further present the user with the expected results of the settings previously selected by the user, such as cleaning quality, volume, processing method, or battery runtime.

較佳地，在使用地板識別感測器4之情況下設置個別化的工作模式，該地板識別感測器為超音波感測器，並且能識別各種地板類型。此感測器可對應於附加件，使其資訊得自附加件經由主機以傳輸至資料顯示及輸入設備13。在此情況下，使用者可針對每個地板種類、且特別是針對當前的地板種類以進行所想要的設置。透過目錄14可選擇其他地板類型，並為該等地板類型分配個別化的設置。地板類型目錄14為使用者呈現所有的備選地板類型，並且，藉由抽吸參數目錄15以針對各地板類型提出能取得最佳清潔效果之清潔方案建議。使用者可採用此等預設值或者做出修改。 Preferably, an individualized working mode is set when the floor recognition sensor 4 is used. The floor recognition sensor is an ultrasonic sensor and can recognize various floor types. The sensor can correspond to an add-on, so that its information can be transmitted from the add-on to the data display and input device 13 through the host. In this case, the user can make the desired setting for each floor type, and particularly for the current floor type. You can select other floor types through the catalog 14 and assign individual settings for those floor types. The floor type list 14 presents the user with all the alternative floor types, and the suction parameter list 15 is used to propose cleaning solutions that can achieve the best cleaning effect for each type of board. Users can adopt these preset values or make changes.

作為替代方案，亦可採用全局例程，即，將從一地板測定的參數沿用於其他的地板，例如，將針對某種地板類型而偵測到的推力沿用於其他的相似地板類型。 As an alternative, a global routine may also be adopted, that is, parameters measured from one floor are used for other floors, for example, thrust detected for a certain floor type is used for other similar floor types.

接著，將想要的配置透過資料通訊鏈路12以傳輸至電子控制裝置6，並儲存於該處之配置儲存器8中。 Then, the desired configuration is transmitted to the electronic control device 6 through the data communication link 12 and stored in the configuration storage 8 there.

在操作地板清潔設備1方面，特別是存在有兩種替選方案。在第一種替選方案中，地板清潔設備係按照個別儲存的配置而控制其抽吸風扇2及附加件3。在第二種替選方案中，附加件3具有自有的控制裝置6，其配置資料可儲存於該控制裝置中。 In terms of operating the floor cleaning device 1, there are in particular two alternatives. In the first alternative, the floor cleaning device controls its suction fan 2 and attachment 3 according to the individually stored configuration. In the second alternative, the add-on 3 has its own control device 6 whose configuration data can be stored in the control device.

元件符號9.0可標示用於接通及關斷之主要操作元件。該元件符號亦可標示用於恢復出廠設置之操作元件。作為替代方案，符號9.0亦可標示單獨的操作元件，操縱該操作元件時，並非採用個別化的配置，而是採用出廠設置之配置。出廠設置例如可保存在主要配置8中。 Element symbol 9.0 can indicate the main operating elements used for switching on and off. The element symbol can also indicate the operating element used to restore the factory settings. As an alternative, the symbol 9.0 can also indicate a separate operating element. When operating the operating element, the individual configuration is not adopted, but the factory-set configuration. The factory settings can be saved in the main configuration 8, for example.

此外，在藉由資料顯示及輸入設備13進行配置時，可使用外部的電腦所提供的資料。其資料可為使用者群中之使用者所提供的經驗值。 In addition, when configuring by the data display and input device 13, data provided by an external computer can be used. The data can be the experience value provided by the users in the user group.
