Abstract

A cleaning device control method and a cleaning device. The cleaning device comprises a driving assembly ( 200 ) and a track-type cleaning cloth ( 300 ), and independent power members are provided for the driving assembly ( 200 ) and the track-type cleaning cloth ( 300 ). During normal walking, the corresponding power members drive rotation directions of the driving assembly ( 200 ) and the track-type cleaning cloth ( 300 ) to be opposite, so as to improve cleaning efficiency.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for controlling a sweeping device, the sweeping device comprising a driving assembly and a crawler-type cleaning cloth, the driving assembly being configured to enable the sweeping device to move on a surface to be cleaned, the crawler-type cleaning cloth being configured to sweep the surface to be cleaned, the method comprising:
 providing independent power members for the driving assembly and the crawler-type cleaning cloth, respectively; and   enabling rotation directions of the driving assembly and the crawler-type cleaning cloth that are driven by the corresponding power members to be opposite during normal traveling, so as to improve cleaning efficiency.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein when detecting that the sweeping device is about to travel abnormally or is traveling abnormally, a movement mode of the driving assembly or the crawler-type cleaning cloth is changed to increase a force vector provided by the driving assembly and the crawler-type cleaning cloth to the surface to be cleaned. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the sweeping device being about to travel abnormally or being traveling abnormally comprises any one of being blocked by an obstacle, the driving assembly being stuck, the driving assembly being suspended, or the driving assembly slipping. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 3 , wherein a first abnormality level and a second abnormality level are preset according to a height of the obstacle, the height of the obstacle at the first abnormality level is lower than the height of the obstacle at the second abnormality level, when detecting that the sweeping device is about to be at the first abnormality level, the movement mode of the driving assembly or the crawler-type cleaning cloth is changed to provide a first force vector to the surface to be cleaned, when detecting that the sweeping device is about to be at the second abnormality level, the movement mode of the driving assembly or the crawler wiper is changed to provide a second force vector to the surface to be cleaned, and the first force vector is less than the second force vector. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein when detecting that the sweeping device is about to travel abnormally or is traveling abnormally, the crawler-type cleaning cloth stops rotating autonomously. 
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein when detecting that the sweeping device is about to travel abnormally or is traveling abnormally, the rotation direction of the driving assembly is the same as the rotation direction of the crawler-type cleaning cloth. 
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the crawler-type cleaning cloth is configured to be lifted and lowered, when detecting that the sweeping device is about to travel abnormally or is traveling abnormally, the crawler-type cleaning cloth is lifted to be separated from the surface to be cleaned. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the sweeping device further comprises a scraping strip arranged telescopically relative to the crawler-type cleaning cloth, during normal traveling, the scraping strip extends out to scrape the crawler-type cleaning cloth, when detecting that the sweeping device is about to travel abnormally or is traveling abnormally, the scraping strip retracts and is separated from the crawler-type cleaning cloth. 
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the sweeping device further comprises a housing and a cleaning pump, the crawler-type cleaning cloth and the cleaning pump are mounted in the housing, the housing is provided with a spraying port in communication with the cleaning pump, during normal traveling, the cleaning pump is turned on to spray cleaning liquid to the surface to be cleaned through the spraying port, when detecting that the sweeping device is about to travel abnormally or is traveling abnormally, the cleaning pump is turned off. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the driving assembly is capable of deflecting within a preset range of deflection angle, when detecting that the sweeping device is about to travel abnormally or is traveling abnormally, the deflection angle is reduced compared with traveling normally to increase the force vector provided by the driving assembly and the crawler-type cleaning cloth to the surface to be cleaned. 
     
     
         11 . A method for controlling a sweeping device, the sweeping device comprising a power member, a first crawler-type cleaning cloth, and a second crawler-type cleaning cloth, wherein the power member drives the first crawler-type cleaning cloth and the second crawler-type cleaning cloth to rotate in opposite directions, so as to sweep a surface to be cleaned. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the power member comprises a first power member and a second power member, the first power member drives the first crawler-type cleaning cloth to rotate in a forward direction, and the second power member drives the second crawler-type cleaning cloth to rotate in a reverse direction, so as to improve cleaning efficiency. 
     
     
         13 . A sweeping device, comprising a detection assembly, a driving assembly, and a crawler-type cleaning cloth, wherein the detection assembly is configured to provide detection information that determines a movement mode of the driving assembly and the crawler-type cleaning cloth, so as to implement the method for controlling the sweeping device according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         14 . The device according to  claim 13 , further comprising a control assembly configured to receive detection information provided by the detection assembly and control the movement mode of the driving assembly and the crawler-type cleaning cloth.
