3 . The roller brush assembly according to claim 2 , comprising:
a driver, connected to the roller brush body and configured to drive the roller brush body, along with the magnetic member, to rotate.
4 . The roller brush assembly according to claim 2 , wherein
the magnetic member comprises: a radially magnetized magnet; and the magnetic detector comprises: a Hall sensor, arranged in a magnetization direction of the radially magnetized magnet.
5 . A cleaning device, comprising:
a roller brush assembly, comprising: a roller brush housing; a roller brush, located inside the roller brush housing; and a magnetic detector, located on an outer surface of the roller brush housing and configured to detect a magnetic signal, wherein the magnetic signal is configured to determine a type of the roller brush; and a processor, connected to the magnetic detector of the roller brush assembly and configured to determine the type of the roller brush in the roller brush assembly based on whether the magnetic signal is detected by the magnetic detector.
6 . The cleaning device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to instruct the roller brush to perform a cleaning function corresponding to the type of the roller brush, wherein different types of roller brushes correspond to different cleaning functions.
7 . The cleaning device according to claim 5 , wherein
the processor is connected to a driver in the roller brush assembly and configured to determine a rotation direction and/or a rotation time period of a roller brush body based on the type of the roller brush, and generate a first driving signal; and the driver is configured to drive the roller brush body, along with a magnetic member on the roller brush body, to rotate according to the rotation direction and/or the rotation time period based on the first driving signal.
8 . The cleaning device according to claim 5 , wherein
the magnetic detector is configured to generate a pulse signal in response to determining that a magnetic pole of a magnetic member on a roller brush body approaches the magnetic detector; and the processor is configured to determine a number of rotations of the magnetic member based on the pulse signal, and generate a second driving signal based on the number of rotations, wherein the second driving signal is configured to adjust a rotation direction and/or a rotation time period of the roller brush body.
9 . The cleaning device according to claim 5 , wherein the roller brush comprises:
a roller brush body, assembled in the roller brush housing; and a magnetic member, arranged at an end of the roller brush body; and the magnetic detector, arranged at an end of the roller brush housing, wherein the end of the roller brush body where the magnetic member is arranged and the end of the roller brush housing where the magnetic detector is arranged are located at a same side.
10 . The cleaning device according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to generate, in response to determining that a number of rotations during which the roller brush body along with the magnetic member rotates in a first rotation direction reaches a predetermined number of rotations, the second driving signal, to adjust the rotation direction of the roller brush body to a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction.
11 . A detection method, applied to a cleaning device, wherein
the cleaning device comprises: a roller brush assembly, comprising: a roller brush housing; a roller brush, located inside the roller brush housing; and a magnetic detector, located on an outer surface of the roller brush housing and configured to detect a magnetic signal, wherein the magnetic signal is configured to determine a type of the roller brush; and a processor, connected to the magnetic detector of the roller brush assembly and configured to determine the type of the roller brush in the roller brush assembly based on whether the magnetic signal is detected by the magnetic detector; and the detection method comprises: determining whether the magnetic signal is detected by the magnetic detector; and determining the type of the roller brush mounted inside the roller brush housing based on whether the magnetic signal is detected by the magnetic detector.
12 . The detection method according to claim 11 , wherein determining the type of the roller brush mounted inside the roller brush housing based on whether the magnetic signal is detected by the magnetic detector comprises:
determining the type of the roller brush as a first type in response to determining that the magnetic signal is detected by the magnetic detector; or determining the type of the roller brush as a second type in response to determining that the magnetic signal is not detected by the magnetic detector, wherein the first type is different from the second type.
13 . The detection method according to claim 11 , further comprising:
controlling the roller brush to perform a cleaning function corresponding to the type of the roller brush, wherein different types of roller brushes correspond to different cleaning functions.
14 . The detection method according to claim 13 , wherein controlling the roller brush to perform a cleaning function corresponding to the type of the roller brush comprises:
determining a rotation direction and/or a rotation time period of a roller brush body of the roller brush based on the type of the roller brush, wherein the roller brush body is assembled in the roller brush housing of the cleaning device; generating a first driving signal based on the rotation direction and/or the rotation time period; and driving the roller brush body along with a magnetic member to rotate according to the rotation direction and/or the rotation time period based on the first driving signal.
15 . The detection method according to claim 11 , further comprising:
generating, in a case where a roller brush body of the roller brush rotates and the roller brush body is provided with a magnetic member, a pulse signal in response to determining that a magnetic pole of the magnetic member approaches the magnetic detector; determining a number of rotations of the magnetic member based on the pulse signal; generating a second driving signal based on the number of rotations; and adjusting a rotation direction and/or a rotation time period based on the second driving signal.
16 . The detection method according to claim 14 , wherein determining the rotation direction and/or the rotation time period based on the type of the roller brush comprises:
determining, in response to determining that the type of the roller brush is a first type, that the roller brush body of the roller brush rotates in a second rotation direction for a predetermined time period, followed by rotating in a first rotation direction by a predetermined number of rotations; or determining, in response to determining that the type of the roller brush is a second type, that the roller brush body constantly rotates in the second rotation direction.
17 . The detection method according to claim 15 , wherein determining the number of rotations of the magnetic member based on the pulse signal comprises:
