The author is no exception, a hobby and followers of science and technology, sweeping machine this thing should be in contact with 2011, when few domestic sweeping machine, also a foreign brand (we all know), and a domestic brand (a subject) , Principles, random collisions, commonly known as dumplings, then the assessment of a good sweeping machine is coverage! Because it is random walking, it is inevitable that there will be repeated cleaning areas and areas that have not passed. This is the true skill of testing software algorithms. Because of the domestic use environment and research and development capabilities, early domestic sweeping machines are actually effective in algorithmic calculations. It is also bad!
In 2014, we started with a so-called planning sweeper, a 360-degree laser scanning modelling, a planned path, no detours, and a “sweeping artifactâ€, neato-xv, the experience of this machine is indeed far-reaching. Exceeding the random collision type, after turning on the power, the rotating laser head at the top is used to scan the whole house environment to create a map and a subarea. Then the specific boundary is found according to the Yanbian pattern, and finally the bow-shaped route is cleaned in this area. After an area is completed, the next area repeats. Finally, according to the distance sensor, it returns to the starting point and enters the charging station to automatically compensate. The entire design logic and actual operation rate are actually very perfect. It also represents the highest technology and level of sweeping machine industry at the time, and even now, completeness, algorithm, and efficiency. However, the author used less than 3 months, shelved, and why? Because the failure rate is too high, the top of his rotating laser head is very easy to damage, a slight collision will lead to laser ranging errors or large deviations, because of the complex structure (motor rotation), there is stuck, stall, etc. A series of questions. After a while, the machine was either in maintenance or on the way to maintenance!
In 2015, the project that was invented by Jungdong Crowdfunding Co., Ltd. was found to be launched by inxni sweepers. It was also called planning sweeper but it did not have the “beacon†at the top. After careful study, it was found that the sweeper used in this sweeper was fixed. Laser sensor, relying on the rotation of the fuselage to achieve the purpose of 360-degree ranging, although it feels more conservative than neato's laser, but for the author of this injured person, it may well be an alternative good solution . At the time, the reason why the crowdfunding writer didn't start was because of lack of confidence in the domestic machine. In addition, the price has reached the mainstream level of neato cash, so for the writer, it is indeed a more difficult thing to choose. Well now, with this opportunity to experience, I do not want too much nostalgia, right now to get it!
Out of the box is not filming, so excited!
The front of the fuselage, orange and silver color, bold, very cool! The middle ∞ represents infinite, but also the inxni's logo, which means that it is very good. We also hope that we can really use our infinite potential to achieve world leadership!
Speaking of this brand within, many people may not know, I also understand for a long time, he is actually a brand newly launched by Shenzhen Yinxing Technology, the Chinese name "inside", the English name "inxni", Silver Star Technology in the industry fame Quite large, mainly in the early generation of export processing and OEM OEM production, etc. way to produce sweeping machine, after the launch of its own brand Silver Star series sweeping machine, the biggest name is the KV8 model, relatively best-selling, in fact, inxni body In my opinion, inxni is a super-upgraded version of KV8. The qualitative change is to upgrade from random collision to laser navigation. Of course, because there is no dismantling and contrast, so we can't leave a conclusion, do not spray!
Back to the fuselage, the front of the five buttons, touch-sensitive, and the other with two digital display units, a display time and fault code, a display of electricity. Simple operation is the trend of today's technology products. The fewer buttons, the better. More functions are all integrated into the mobile phone APP.
Speaking of APP, it is also supported, but the current compatibility and stability have yet to be improved. It is hoped that the engineering personnel will seize the time to improve and upgrade. After all, the products have been listed for more than half a year.
Charger I want to give praise! With indicator light, red indicates charging, green indicates full, when this small light is off, it is invisible to the lamp, and it is combined with the shell as one, and the light is kind of very soft light, which does not affect the home environment. like very much!
Charging the base, the same cool style, with the general charging seat is quite different. Don't know what the starting point of this designer's design is because it looks good? Or because of the specific significance? From the point of view of the author's personal opinion, it is a bit too big. As the saying goes, it is a bit like the goods, how to talk about it, and the analysis behind it.
The side of the fuselage is very beautiful, the color and logo shape of the outlet is cool
This side may seem complicated. Pressing the buckle will remove the entire dust box module. The fan module will also be integrated. The fan module can be removed separately and the remaining dust boxes can be washed.
Turtles turned over, and there were many things on the bottom. We went from the top to the next:
1. There are three infrared sensor sensors on the bottom, one on the front and one on the side. The role is to measure the distance from the ground to prevent falling from high altitudes, such as stairs and elevations. Another is to pass the left and right when the fuselage is inclined or overhead. From the distance from the ground, the system can decide to choose a suitable escape procedure to ensure that the fuselage is not stuck.
2, charging interface, two large pieces of metal, to ensure that the automatic sweeping machine automatically recharge when there is sufficient margin.
3, universal wheel, this is nothing to say, in addition to the main drive wheel, rely on him to support the fuselage, and overall, is a tricycle shape,
4, side brush module, the general sweeping machine is standard, the role is to help some of the edge of the dust into the embrace of sweeping machine!
5, battery compartment, this is nothing to say, installed battery, random gift bag with a screwdriver and a spare screw, this is very intimate. There is also a detail, through which you can see the circuit board inside, from the perspective of workmanship, more surprises, patch capacitors, ICs and other layouts are very precise.
6, the main drive wheel, sweeping machine has, big wheel, rubber tire, wrong tooth pattern, enhance anti-skid ability, and off-road ability, from the actual effect point of view, should be used high-precision motor drive, with the gear set to reduce speed, In order to achieve precise control of speed and steering and a series of complex drive actions. In addition, the reduction gears use plastic parts, so the noise is very low.
7, the main suspension arm, this is worth mentioning is that the suspension arm in order to support the weight of the machine and high passability, work more solid, the actual operation to see 0-4cm obstacles can easily climb, such as at home All kinds of carpets, thresholds and so on.
8, plastic brush, the main role is to rotate at high speed, beat the ground at high frequency, the dust of some cracks, debris stuck to the ground can beat up, with the brush, together complement each other. The advantage of the plastic brush lies in the strong cleaning ability, which is equivalent to scraping the ground. The disadvantage is that the flapping noise is slightly larger.
9, brush, spiral-shaped hair in turn, orderly dust into the dust box, with a powerful brush glue sweep, opposite the scroll, so that dust and garbage nowhere to hide, into the dust box.
10, dust-proof wall, in the role of the combination of the brush, some dust will be bouncing, this time the role of the dust wall came, on the one hand to prevent the proliferation of dust, on the other hand by the two strips of suction The dust trough forms a set of suction nozzles with a suction force of 600 Pa. All dust in the area will be sucked into the dust box by the wind.
8,9,10 three components together to form an all-dimensional vacuum structure. Relative to the traditional sweeping machine, either equipped with a brush, or you can change the glue brush, or no brush only suction mouth, this time is a large set of one-time full coverage in the inside, first shoot after the sweep and then suck, large particles first After being swept into the dust box, the escaping dust dust was sucked in all through the suction mouth. I have to say that the “combination boxing†within this group is still quite good, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the complex structure is also Bringing complicated components, this complex component is actually not conducive to cleaning and maintenance. Fortunately, the staff within the company simplifies the structure through maximization, thus ensuring the convenience of use while realizing the functions.
11, the overall dust box module, above the dismantling instructions, because the structure is relatively complex, the description is also very detailed.
The main power switch on the side of the fuselage, remember to turn off when not in use for a long time, because the various sensors are in working condition during standby, and it is not good news for the battery. Manufacturers are also considered thoughtful.
At the front of the fuselage, a large black area is where the laser sensor is located, and it is also the essence of this sweeping machine. Before that, domestic machines and even most of the machines in the world were randomly colliding. They did not look back at the South Wall. This laser is the most shining eye inside. Through him, he can recognize the home environment and advance scientifically. The principle of the laser sensor is : The laser transmitter emits light waves. When the light wave encounters obstacles and returns, the laser receiver receives the signal. This time spent in the whole process, divided by the speed of light, is the distance. In the course of hundreds of measurements per second, Gradually scan out the home room type and build a map of the entire house.
Here to talk about the difference between within and neato, within the fixed laser emitting device, rely on the rotation of the body to scan the terrain, neato is to rely on the top of the rotating laser module to scan, specifically, neato boot can be forward, within the boot needs Two laps in situ, and then start again. From the point of view of initial efficiency, neato really has an advantage, but sweeping ground is not necessarily so fast. The use of fixed laser modules within it is estimated from the point of view of life and cost. Then again, the hardware is only one aspect. The real test of the machine is the various software algorithms that deal with the complex home environment. The algorithm is perfect and it will reflect the efficiency. So, next we will focus on the practical application within, and see how perfect his laser algorithm is.
At the bottom of the fuselage, the dust box is removed. Two metal contacts are used to power the fan. The shrapnel structure is more stable and durable. The black U-shaped strip is the mating part with the dust box to prevent dust leakage. The clip in the upper right corner is a fixed combination brush holder. When the clip is opened, the combination brush holder is disassembled to facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of the brush. Here to highlight that models with rolling brush, generally can not escape the topic of being wrapped in hair, only the pure suction vent model, do not consider hair winding, in addition, the probability of brush hair sticking is much greater than the brush,
Dust box body, the volume is relatively large, the structure is quite complex, the picture for the inlet above the two metal sheet is the fan's electrical port, and then the top half of the arc structure, that is, turbine fan module, let's look at the big picture
Feeling distorted
After taking off the fan, it is exposed to the air inlet, equipped with a seal ring and high efficiency filter to prevent dust from entering the motor and extending the life of the motor.
Cool fan module, smaller body is hard to convince people about his ability to vacuum
The analysis of the stereoscopic dust collection just described is a bit ambiguous. Below is the opening diagram of a dust box. Let's study together. The top dust-proof negative film and the bottom-most dust-proof positive film are combined together. 8mm width gap, this gap is the suction outlet, dust-proof negatives with serrated dust guide groove, on the one hand to prevent large particles being sucked into the auxiliary dust box, on the one hand to play a role in air diversion, which will help smooth the tiny dust enter. In this way, it can be seen that the large cavity part is used to store the large particles that the combination brush rolls into, and the auxiliary dust box is responsible for receiving the small dust sucked by the suction mouth. The division of labor is clear, and it also reduces the working intensity of the vacuum cleaner and the high dependence on the suction to some extent. It really deserved that sentence, sweeping machine is not a suction machine, sweep the main suction as a supplement!
Clean mode
Combination brush removable cleaning
Then look at how this machine's power reserve, BYD's lithium-ion battery, can see that manufacturers are still more willing to work hard on quality, 38.48wh capacity measured down enough for about 90 minutes of life, basically the author 140 square meters of home can easily run.
This is a randomly gifted gift bag with a cleaning brush, a side brush, a high-efficiency filter, 8 furniture pads, a screwdriver, and a spare screw. Warm and intimate!
Semi-resolved Daquan, the daily maintenance and cleaning needs of the dismantling, basically all, and then demolished, is the need for maintenance!
Next, we look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of industrial sweepers in the internal sweeper through several simple comparison charts:
Comparison models: inxni533 VS neato xv VS Cobos 520
(Note: 520 is an early product, not comparable in different generations, here only reference products, forgive the author on such a Cobos)
Contrast the appearance, the shape is certainly the most cool inside, but because it is not a period of products, comparison, it is inevitable that there is an unfair, look at the official do not spray, want to say is that neato's flat head shape actually continues to the present, the external claims right angle The edge treatment is more advantageous, but only the user can know the pain of the side brush. The round body, whether it is the degree of beauty or the ability to get out of trouble, is a comparative solution.
The main sensor, neato's rotating laser head on the top has the highest scanning efficiency, but also brings about the instability of the quality. Due to the high-speed rotation, collision and drop, etc., it may bring fatal damage to the laser module! With the internal laser module inside the body, the theoretically simple structure is not prone to problems. However, efficiency is much less than that of neato.
The structure of the dust box is the largest and the most complex. The structure of the neato and the small family is the simplest and it is easier to manage. Of these three models, only the internal fans are detachable. Do not know why the original design of the manufacturer.
Look at the dust box of the three, personally prefer the design of the dust box of Xiaoke. It is simple and convenient. There are handles.
Does anyone else know why I added a napkin on Neato's filter and tore it into this virtue?
The main brush structure, where the combination of brushes within the obvious advantages, but the neato ultra-narrow margin of the main brush brings a larger area of ​​cleaning, this point is within reach, the figure can see the neato side brush off the machine The edge of the body is only 2-3cm. The advantage is that the cleaning coverage is higher and the corner cleaning effect is better. If you add the side brush, the effect is very good. (In fact, D80 and later products have been added side brush)
In terms of the control panel, the newest product was used, and the button was the ultimate. Neato used a black and white screen. At that time, it was a very advanced configuration. In addition, the control of the remote control and the mobile phone APP is also supported within this area, which is incomparable.
Finally, take a look at the power system, Xiaoke uses a 1600mah nickel-metal hydride battery, the battery life time is 45 minutes, has now been the author's collection, neato uses a 7.2v 3200mah nickel-metal hydride battery, and Dual battery, because neato uses super-absorption motor, so it belongs to large households in power consumption, this point from the moment when neato starts up, the author thinks about anything, and neato's startup process cannot be described by words. In fact, it is an amazing similar to the moment the plane took off. The 14.8v2600mah lithium-ion battery is used internally, which represents the latest technology and usage habits. Of course, the fans within it are not so amazing. Naturally, there is not much problem in life. The actual measurement is about 90 minutes.
In order to avoid being described as a gun script or causing too much criticism, it is not necessary to make too many in-depth comparisons. In fact, these three models have no contrast, but I believe that one represents an international advanced brand and one represents Domestically experienced veterans, a representative of new players, no matter how old or new the models, the orientation and attitude represented by each design should be reflected.
Above said so much nonsense, here's how to talk about the actual use of this model in the end:
Startup modeling process:
First of all, the boot time is about 20 seconds, and the four lights are flashing. The manufacturer calls this a process of scanning the home environment. Then the machine rotates for two weeks and then starts to go. It is different from my previous experience. After simply delaying Yanbian, he will immediately enter the bow-shaped sweeping program, and Neato will need to circle a specific area before starting a specific sweep. I prefer to set the program within this area, which is more efficient. Scanning and constructing the map, in the case of a powerful processor, in fact, can be done, neato is very regular, enclosure, cleaning, enclosure, cleaning, it is a matter of completion. This point I think the domestic algorithm is superior.
Partition cleaning process:
In the edge sweeping modeling process, I used the mobile phone app to observe the scanning mechanism inside, and found that he should be a built-in gyroscope design. Although unlike neato's part-by-area sweeping, he can remember his passing. Areas and areas that have been cleaned, this is probably what the manufacturer claims to be “self-inspection trapping†function. After gradually perfecting the map, the interior area will be excluded according to its own gyro positioning, so as to filter out areas that have already passed and screen out The area that is not cleaned. However, this also brings the problem that the map will not be completely established until the end. If the midway card machine is interrupted or interrupted, all the previous scanning processes will be completely abandoned and will need to be repeated. In fact, this neato is similar, so we have to assist the machine is to arrange a relatively simple cleaning environment for sweepers, for example, tables and chairs as much as possible to close together the table, the best conditions to move up and down on the table The foot of the sofa table is either higher than the machine or lower than the machine. It must not be of the same height, so that the machine may not be able to come in. This point of view is also more thoughtful manufacturers, in the random package, there are eight hard plastic mats, if you encounter the above situation, please use the mat to raise the furniture a few, to facilitate sweeping machine in and out to clean.
Complex environment barriers:
In the complex environment, the author carried out repeated experiments in the restaurant area. In the case of many dining tables and chairs, the basic walking around the pile can be relatively easily performed. However, in the interlaced terrain, there will be repeated trial and error. In the situation, this is a level with neato, but he has a better point than neato in that his body is round and the innate advantages bring him better passability and obstacle avoidance, but in this case Local, to talk about what ability to clean up, it is a bit difficult to sweep the machine, and it is good to be able to get out of the autonomy, cleaning ability will not talk about, after all, are the corners of the place. However, it is worth mentioning that although neato is capable of getting out of trouble, in this case, his cleaning ability is better than that of his opponent. Therefore, both parties have a tie, both have a hand, a strong ability to get out of trouble, a good cleaning ability.
Automatic back flush experience:
The author would like to know how to find the charging base for the sweeper, so he took a look around and over again with the charging seat. Besides the charging interface, the whole body did not have any inductive emission devices. Checked the information and confirmed my guess. Sweeping machine. The charging cradle should be identified by a large and small square matrix on the front of the charging cradle rather than being automatically returned by conventional infrared sensing. However, I personally think that the recognition rate of this method is not very high, and that a large area of ​​the charging seat must not be covered by objects. The author tried several times to allow the sweeper to return to the seat. You can see that the author put the charging stand. There are cabinets on the left and curtains on the right, so the line of sight is not very good. Therefore, the success rate is not very high. We also hope that there will be better alternatives for future models. As far as the author is concerned, this design, and not talk about function, in terms of appearance, the author is not very cold, a little too unconventional, so in this link, the author should give a bad review.
Customer usage:
This part mainly talks about the practicality of the sweeper and the position of the machine in the industry. First of all, it is said that the development of the sweeper in the past 10 years has not been able to say To be independent, or to completely replace people to work, it can be said that up to now, there is no one brand and one product can be said to be completely out of manual intervention, but also to achieve a person's expectations of a product, the current sweeper can only say is A toy that is more like a tool. Although we hope he can become a tool, unfortunately, they can't do it. But we can't deny that, under normal conditions, sweepers can help us alleviate some of the burden of housework. For example, he can do a lot of sweeping work. For example, at the bottom of some furniture, we need to bend down or even pick it up to clean it. He can easily clean it, etc. These are all he can do, except this one. The arrival also brought joy and vitality to our lives. Sometimes he was more like a pet than a child. Turn back, very strange very happy. Therefore, we also need to report a sweeping development to the new type of industrial products. With the rapid development of sensors and control chips, we believe that in the short-term future, we will see some more perfect and more intelligent. Sweeping products come out. The development of science and technology is what we are happy to see and accept.
Then talk about what kind of products this machine belongs to in the end, from the price point of view more than 3,000 yuan price is definitely the industry's top position, and even beyond neato's flagship product positioning, visible manufacturers on this The expectation value of the machine is very high, and unfortunately, from the author's entire experience experience, although inside the flagship appearance, the flagship quality, the flagship product, but he did not achieve the flagship brand, the flagship algorithm, The completeness of the flagship. From this point of view, the author personally feels that the price of 2000-2500 is more in line with the current pricing and positioning within the current stage. If the Youth Edition can achieve a price between 1600-2000, I believe that a sweeping machine revolution will be set off. A revolution from random collisions to laser navigation. Because sweeping the domestic sweeper market, 1600 is a watershed, few manufacturers dare to price their main model to more than 1600, and boldly crossed this watershed, but the author thinks that too much! In fact, the author can also predict that the manufacturer's psychological expectations should be followed by the author's guess should be a level, but at this stage there are several aspects of pricing, first, the product including software is still iterative update, some supporting system costs Can not fall down, on the other hand, through the price lever to control part of the sales, on the one hand to verify the product takes time and a certain amount of user groups, on the other hand to use this time to accumulate word of mouth and brand influence within the brand, after A period of verification and product design, and then adjust the price to a reasonable range, forming a strong market competitiveness! In addition, from the inside of the fuselage, especially the dust box structure, obviously inherited the old design of the KV8, I think it is also a conservative strategy, with the old body + new technology strategy to throw stones to ask for directions, a bit like a car The mid-term changes in the sector, the author will personally guess that after a period of verification, within the replacement product will soon come!
Well, guess too many manufacturers mentality, and finally summed up the approximate advantages and disadvantages of this model within it, for you to see if the officer to buy:
advantage:
1, the appearance of cool, high-end color matching
2. High-end start-up, laser navigation, absolute future market direction, broad prospects
3, solid materials, quality can be trusted
4, comprehensive cleaning mode, three-dimensional full consideration, clearing ability
5, lithium battery power, long life and long life,
6, strong obstacles, smart planning efficiency
7, low noise
Disadvantages:
1, high pricing, low market acceptance
2, the control panel is not very scientific, creative enough, but slightly lack of practicality
3, dust box design is too complicated, cleaning mechanism to be optimized and improved
4. It is easy to collect dust between dust box, fan and roller brush, and still needs improvement in design.
5, the software algorithm needs optimization and improvement, such as: the judgment of the staircase is not very efficient, prone to misjudgment, repeated entering the area
6, charging seat ID design is too unconventional, there is no signal positioning, relying solely on appearance, relying on the host laser to find the characteristics of the home position, the charging seat is too harsh requirements
7, app perfection is not enough, often there is a connection failure, the phenomenon of signal loss
8, for the body corner parts of the general cleaning ability, such as corners, tables and chairs feet and other parts.
9, dust box, or dust box, dust box cleaning is relatively complicated!
Finally, to sum up: If you want to buy a little guy who can bring you life fun, and at the same time can help you to complete part of the housework, the inside is very suitable for you. If you want to buy a sweeping machine and want to completely free yourself from the tedious chores, I'm sorry, there is not yet a product for you! In fact, it can already represent the existence of the top domestic product arrays for sweeping machine products, and it will not lose too much points in the international market. However, if we can optimize and improve the airframe structure, I believe that there will be a Very promising prospects!
