In modern smart home life, smart sweeping robots have become an indispensable cleaning assistant for many families. In order to ensure that consumers can buy high-quality and reliable sweeping robots, third-party inspection agencies play a vital role. This article will introduce in detail the third-party inspection standards, inspection process and inspection quality points of smart sweeping robots, covering inspection and quality assessment in terms of appearance, quantity, function, cleaning ability, battery life, smart navigation and obstacle avoidance functions.
I. Overview of third-party inspection
Third-party inspection is a comprehensive quality inspection and evaluation of products by independent third-party inspection agencies to ensure that the products meet relevant standards and customer requirements. These agencies usually have professional inspection equipment and experienced technicians, and can provide objective and fair test reports. For smart sweeping robots, third-party inspection not only helps to enhance the market competitiveness of products, but also enhances consumer trust.
II. Inspection standards for smart sweeping robots
Usually refer to relevant national and international standards, such as GB/T (Safety of household and similar electrical appliances), IEC60335-1 (Safety of household and similar electrical appliances: Part 1, General requirements), etc. In addition, detailed inspection plans and testing methods will be developed based on the specific requirements of customers and the functional characteristics of the products.
III. Inspection process of smart sweeping robots
The third-party inspection process of smart sweeping robots usually includes the following steps:
1. Inspection preparation:
Determine the test documents, customer documents and external equipment (such as power meter, noise meter, high-voltage meter, etc.) required for inspection, and confirm whether the equipment is calibrated and the validity period is valid
2. Quantity and packaging inspection:
• Check the integrity of the outer box, inner box and color box, pay attention to the mark and packaging method
• Check whether the accessories are complete, including manuals, warranty cards, service cards, etc., and confirm whether their contents are consistent with the product
• Check whether the language of the packaging material is consistent with the language of the country of sale
3. Appearance inspection:
• Check whether the product is consistent with the sample, product specification standards, order information, color box pictures and contents, manuals, etc. provided by the customer
• Check whether the product model, material, color and appearance have defects (such as dirt, scratches, deformation, mixed colors, etc.)
• Check whether the packaging bag has suffocation warnings and ventilation holes
4. Safety inspection:
• Check whether the product has sharp edges and corners
• Check whether the power cord is broken or copper is exposed
• Conduct electrical safety tests to ensure that the equipment does not have safety problems such as leakage during use
5. Functional inspection:
• Switch and function button function inspection: Turn on and off the machine three times, adjust the adjustment knob or sliding switch to the maximum and minimum respectively, and detect whether there is switch failure
• Abnormal noise and vibration inspection: Turn on the robot vacuum cleaner, do not block the suction port, and listen to the motor for noise; block the suction port with your palm, feel the suction force and listen to the motor for noise
• Reel function inspection: Check whether the reel of the vacuum cleaner reel is flexible, whether it can be self-locked and fully rewound
• Install and assemble all accessories: Check the tightness of the dust box, front cover, hose, extension tube, nozzle and other accessories and the ease of loading and unloading
6. Cleaning ability test:
• Sprinkle a specific amount of dust or debris on different types of floors (such as wooden floors, tiles, carpets, etc.), start the robot vacuum cleaner to clean, and weigh the mass of the collected material in its dust box to calculate the dust collection efficiency
• Evaluate the cleaning effect of the sweeping robot in hard-to-reach areas such as room corners and edges
7. Battery life and charging time test:
• Start the sweeping robot when it is fully charged, and record the time it takes to work until the battery is exhausted to evaluate the battery life
• Connect the sweeping robot with exhausted battery to the charging base and record the time required for full charging
8. Intelligent navigation and obstacle avoidance function test:
• Check the accuracy of the sweeping robot’s path planning and walking route in complex environments
• Evaluate the robot’s responsiveness when it detects obstacles (such as furniture, corners, etc.) to avoid collisions or jams
• Check the robot’s ability to escape when encountering complex terrain (such as thresholds, carpet edges, etc.)
9. Automatic recharge function test:
• When the battery is low, observe whether the sweeping robot can automatically return to the charging base and dock and charge correctly
10. Noise test:
• Use a sound level meter to measure the noise level in different modes when the sweeping robot is running, usually at a distance of 1 meter from the robot
11. Internal structure inspection:
• Check the protection of live parts and hazardous moving parts
• Check the installation position and fixing method of parts, as well as the mechanical strength and reliability of electrical connections
12. Long-term working test:
• Run continuously for a long time in a simulated home environment to evaluate its working stability and durability
• Check the degree of wear of key parts such as brushes, wheels, filters, etc. in long-term use
IV. Key points for quality inspection of smart sweeping robots
1. Cleaning ability:
• Dust collection efficiency: evaluated by weighing the mass of collected materials in the dust box
• Corner cleaning ability: evaluated by evaluating the amount of residual dust after cleaning
• Cleaning coverage: calculated by monitoring the travel path and coverage area of the sweeping robot within a certain period of time
2. Battery life:
• Battery life: record the working time of the sweeping robot from full power to exhausted power
• Charging time: record the time required for the sweeping robot to be fully charged from low power
3. Intelligent navigation and obstacle avoidance function:
• Path planning accuracy: ensure that the sweeping robot can effectively cover the cleaning area
• Obstacle avoidance reaction ability: evaluate the robot’s reaction speed and accuracy when detecting obstacles
• Escape ability: ensure that the robot can escape smoothly and continue to work when encountering complex terrain
4. Appearance and packaging:
• Appearance quality: check whether the product has defects such as dirt, scratches, deformation, etc.
• Packaging integrity: check whether the seals of the outer box, inner box and color box are firm and not damaged
• Consistency of accessories and instructions: check whether the accessories are complete and whether the instructions and other accessories are accurate and consistent
5. Safety:
• Electrical safety: conduct insulation, electrical strength and leakage current tests to ensure that the equipment meets safety standards
• Mechanical safety: evaluate the strength and durability of the robot housing, brushes, rollers and other parts
• Sensor safety: detect the sensitivity of the anti-fall sensor to ensure that the robot will not fall from a height
V. Summary
Third-party inspection of smart sweeping robots is an important part of ensuring product quality and performance. Through strict inspection standards and processes, the performance of sweeping robots in terms of cleaning ability, battery life, intelligent navigation and obstacle avoidance can be comprehensively evaluated. When purchasing a sweeping robot, consumers should pay attention to the product’s testing and certification information and choose products that have been certified by a third-party inspection agency to ensure that they purchase high-performance, safe and reliable products. At the same time, third-party inspection agencies should also continuously improve their own inspection technology and capabilities to adapt to the continuous development and changes in the sweeping robot market.
