Problems solved by technology

However, the cost of virtual lighthouses is relatively high. If users need to divide the room into multiple areas, they need to purchase additional virtual lighthouses, which greatly increases the cost of use. In addition, virtual lighthouses are too large, for example, placing them next to the door will affect the normal use of the door , the user needs to place it when using it, and put it away when it is used up. The operation is cumbersome

Embodiment Construction

[0038] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

[0039] refer to figure 1 , a method for indoor area division, comprising the steps of:

[0040] S1. The sweeping robot detects the markers set on the door frame of the indoor room.

[0041] S2. Determine the spatial coordinate position of the marker, and determine the position of the virtual boundary between the cleaning areas separated by the door according to the spatial coordinate position.

[0042] In the above step S1, the marker is set on the position of the door frame; the marker is flat and can be set for a long time without affecting the opening and closing of the door. It does not need to be removed after use, reducing human intervention, more convenient to use, and better user experience. it is good.

[0043] In the above step S2, the entire space to be cleaned can be divided into various cleaning areas ...

Abstract

The invention discloses an indoor area dividing method and a sweeping robot. The indoor area dividing method comprises: detecting, by the sweeping robot, markers arranged on door frames of indoor rooms; determining spatial coordinates of the marker, determining positions of virtual boundaries of cleaning areas divided by doors. Boundaries are judged via graphical labels, area dividing is reasonable, the size is smaller, long-time setting is available, operating is more convenient, and cost can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of area recognition, in particular to an indoor area division method and a sweeping robot. Background technique [0002] With the development of technology and the improvement of people's living standards, sweeping robots with autonomous mobility have been greatly popularized. Sweeping robot, also known as robot vacuum cleaner, uses the fan on the fuselage to suck the garbage on the ground into the dust box, and moves autonomously through the walking wheels to achieve the purpose of automatically cleaning the room. [0003] In order to clean more effectively, the sweeping robot needs to divide the indoor environment into areas. At present, there are two main ways to divide the area: the first one is to divide the environment into several parts according to the fixed size according to the position information of the robot and clean them in turn. However, this method cannot adapt to the different characteristics of di...
