The switch module is connected with the second control unit, the second control unit can control the on-off of the switch module according to the received electric quantity detection signal obtained by the stored energy detection unit, and the circuit is switched on to charge when the electric quantity of the energy storage unit is low.
The automatic walking equipment also comprises a signal identification unit for identifying the boundary line signal and the station-entering induction magnetic field. The signal identification unit can specifically realize the two functions through a boundary signal acquisition device such as a magnetic sensor.
The first communication unit on the charging station can be connected with the second communication unit of the automatic walking equipment in a wireless communication mode, and information interaction between the charging station and the automatic walking equipment is achieved. The first communication unit is connected with the first control unit, and the second communication unit is connected with the second control unit.
In the charging process:
and 2, at the moment, the automatic walking device continues to walk along the boundary line in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction under the control of the second control unit. The guiding signal in the walking process is a boundary line signal. The boundary line signal is generated by inputting a current signal into the boundary line by the signal generating device. The traveling device induces a magnetic field of the boundary line signal and returns to the charging station along the boundary line. In another embodiment, in the process of controlling the automatic traveling device to move to the charging station, the position of the charging station may be determined by satellite navigation, UWB, image recognition, or the like, and the automatic traveling device may be controlled to return.
And 3, when the automatic walking equipment is about to arrive at the charging station, generating a station-entering signal after a signal detection unit of the automatic walking equipment detects a station-entering induction magnetic field 3 generated by an induction coil or an electric lead near the charging station, feeding the station-entering signal back to a second control unit by the signal detection unit, and controlling the automatic walking equipment to execute a station-entering mode by the second control unit. In the station entering mode, the automatic walking equipment decelerates and is in butt joint with the electrode of the charging station, and the second control unit controls the second switch unit to be closed. Meanwhile, the second communication unit on the automatic walking device can also be in interactive communication with the first communication unit on the charging station, and the station entering signal detected by the automatic walking device is sent to the first control unit of the charging station. At this time, after receiving the station entering signal, the first control unit controls the first switch unit to be powered on, so that the voltage of the first electrode unit of the charging station is provided with the charging voltage, and the charging voltage can be directly output for charging after the first control unit is electrically connected with the second electrode unit of the automatic traveling equipment. In the charging process, the edge of the triggering area defined by the induction coil or the electric conductor near the charging station can be arranged outside the charging contact position of the charging station, so that the charging station can be switched to the triggering state in time, and the automatic walking equipment can directly receive charging voltage to realize charging after running in place.
In this embodiment, in a non-charging state where the automatic traveling apparatus is away from the charging station, the first electrode unit of the charging station may be not powered by cutting off the main power supply circuit.
The embodiment adopts the existing approach detection mode, can avoid using additional electronic devices such as sensors and the like, and has higher accuracy for detecting the approach of the automatic walking equipment by utilizing the approach identification signals output by the approach signal generating devices such as induction coils or electric leads and the like. After the automatic walking equipment is detected to be close to the charging station, the main power supply circuit can be controlled to be switched on in advance, so that the electrode of the charging station is electrified, and the response speed of charging is improved.
Example 2
In this embodiment, the other contents are the same as those in embodiment 1, and the points are that: in the non-charging state, the main power supply circuit of the charging station may also be switched on. Except that the voltage supplied to the first electrode unit is a non-charging voltage at this time. By setting the non-charging voltage to be smaller than the normal charging voltage, the energy consumption of the charging station in a non-charging state can be reduced. And after the first control unit of the charging station receives the signal of the automatic walking equipment entering the station, the first control unit can quickly control the main power supply circuit to increase the voltage provided for the first electrode unit to the charging voltage so as to ensure the response speed of charging.
In this embodiment, the edge of the trigger area may be determined to be located outside the charging contact position of the charging station by the threshold circle set by the automatic traveling device position detection unit, so that the charging station can be also ensured to be switched to the trigger state in time, and the automatic traveling device can directly receive the charging voltage to realize charging after running in place
Example 3
In this embodiment, the other contents are the same as those in embodiment 1, and the points are that: in this embodiment, the manner of detecting whether the automatic walking device is close to charging is as follows:
the distance between the automatic walking equipment and the charging station is detected by utilizing the time and the speed of signal transmission between the first communication unit and the second communication unit, the distance information is correspondingly transmitted to the first control unit, the first control unit compares the real-time distance information with a set value according to the real-time distance information between the automatic walking equipment and the charging station, and when the distance between the automatic walking equipment and the charging station is detected to be smaller than the set value, the automatic walking equipment is judged to be about to enter the station, and the first switch unit is controlled to be switched on and switched off. The set value can be set to be outside the charging contact position of the corresponding charging station so as to reserve sufficient time to trigger the charging station to perform charging response and adjust the running state of the charging station.
The mode of utilizing the communication unit to judge the distance between the charging station and the automatic walking equipment does not need to additionally increase other sensors, and the cost can be effectively reduced.
In addition, in this embodiment, a distance sensor may be further disposed on the charging station to form a position detection unit of the automatic traveling device, and the distance sensor may be specifically implemented by an ultrasonic sensor, a laser sensor, an infrared distance measurement sensor, and other elements. The automatic walking equipment position detection unit can also be realized by a contact switch, a positioning device and the like. The automatic walking equipment utilizes the induction of a corresponding distance sensor or a contact switch and a positioning device, and the position detection units are arranged on the automatic walking equipment or a charging station so as to realize the detection of the distance between the automatic walking equipment and the charging station and judge whether the automatic walking equipment reaches a trigger area. Therefore, the distance change between the charging station and the automatic walking equipment can be detected in real time, or the distance change between the charging station and the automatic walking equipment can be judged by detecting the change of the signal intensity emitted by the sensor. In this way, the charging station can still be triggered to switch to the charging state when the traveling robot reaches the trigger area near the charging station, due to the positional relationship between the traveling robot and the charging station.
Thus, the present invention can:
1. the invention can judge whether the machine is close to the charging station by detecting the incoming coil signal and the like, thereby controlling the working state of the charging station and reducing the energy consumption of the charging station in a non-charging state.
2. When the automatic walking equipment approaches the charging station, the controller of the charging station is controlled to increase the voltage of the charging station to the charging voltage, or the switch on the charging circuit is controlled to be closed and electrified, so that the charging station is switched to a state suitable for butt-joint charging of the automatic walking equipment in advance, and the circuit connection efficiency of the butt-joint charging is improved.
The above are merely embodiments of the present invention, which are described in detail and with particularity, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these changes and modifications are within the scope of the present invention.
