Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing 1-6 and embodiment the utility model is described in further detail.
A kind of mower list perform region is defined and guidance system, sees Fig. 1, comprises that at least one is installed in signal generating system 8 and a receiving system 3 on the automatic equipment 2, and automatic equipment 2 comprises drive unit 10; Receiving system 3 is used for defining and dividing of perform region 21 with the cable that is connected 1.Signal generating system 8 is installed on the automatic equipment 2; Move with automatic equipment 2; Signal generating system 8 has the oscillatory circuit and the signal transmitting coil that can produce the certain frequency exchange current usually; Signal generating system 8 produces an alternating magnetic fields signal in the course of the work in certain zone, produce field signal and pass through air borne; Receiving system 3 is connected with a cable 1, receiving system 3 detect by signal generating system 8 move or static process in produce and through airborne field signal; Cable 1 is used for confirming 21 borders, perform region that receiving system 3 is installed in the fixed position usually.Receiving system 3 is transferred to automatic equipment 2 with wireless mode with detected field signal through wireless communication module 13 according to detected field signal; Signal generating system 8 produces at least one static or alternating magnetic fields in special time, detected through airborne field signal by receiving system 3.Receiving system 3 comprises at least one detecting signal unit 11, signal processing unit 12 and wireless communication module 13, and detecting signal unit 11 links to each other with cable 1, and constitutes closed loop with cable 1.
The field signal that receiving system 3 receives is to be produced by the signal generating system 8 that is installed on the automatic equipment 2, and therefore received magnetic field intensity is relevant with cable 1 relative position with automatic equipment 2.When automatic equipment 2 encloses perform region 21 when inner on 1 on cable, because negative function, the magnetic field intensity that cable 1 is sensed is less.When automatic equipment 2 during near cable 1, the magnetic field intensity that receives increases gradually, when striding across cable 1, reaches maximum.When automatic equipment 2 strode across cable 1 and encloses perform region 21 away from 1 on cable, the magnetic field intensity that receives weakened gradually, but big when still inner than the perform region of being enclosed at cable 1 21 within the specific limits.This just means, receiving system 3 can judge that automatic equipment 2 is to be positioned at inside that 1 on cable encloses perform region 21, critical or outside according to the size of detected magnetic field intensity and variation tendency.
Receiving system 3 generally comprises detecting signal unit 11, signal Processing 12 and wireless communication module 13.The border cable 1 that is used to define is typically connected to detecting signal unit 11, detects the field signal that is produced by signal generating system 8, and sends automatic equipment 2 to through after the signal Processing.Disturb the influence to system in order to reduce other, what signal generating system 8 produced usually is the alternating magnetic field of certain frequency, and detecting unit filters out interference component, detects the alternating magnetic field of certain frequency, has stronger antijamming capability.
Fig. 3 is the synoptic diagram of automatic equipment 2 working in reciprocating mode in the perform region that is surrounded by cable 1 21.Automatic equipment 2 advances by certain way according to being born of task in perform region 21; When its near and when crossing over cable 1; Receiving system 3 detects the magnetic field intensity that increases sharply; Judge that thus automatic equipment 2 is crossing the border,, make automatic equipment 2 turn around to get into again perform region 21 sending automatic equipment 2 to through wireless communication module 13 after the signal Processing.So back and forth, make automatic equipment 2 working in reciprocating mode in perform region 21 all the time.
Fig. 4 has provided a kind of guiding route and the method when automatic equipment 2 need be got back to appointed place (like the base station).Automatic equipment 2 advances according to certain mode earlier; When running to approaching and crossing over cable 1; This moment, detecting signal unit can detect stronger field signal, and cable 1 advances by the mode of zigzag along the border can to make automatic equipment 2 according to certain control algolithm then.In general, the zigzag motion is in fact very limited.When automatic equipment 2 when cable advances along the border, adopt sensing element and a good control algolithm can reduce the zigzag behavior as best one can.
The automatic equipment 2 of present embodiment is a kind of automatic mower device, and the automatic mower device comprises the mowing blade.
A kind of mower multi-work space territory is defined and guidance system, sees Fig. 2, and structure and embodiment 1 difference are; On the basis of embodiment 1, increase some contents, specific as follows, what embodiment 1 adopted is a cable 1; Constitute a perform region 21; And embodiment 2 increases by two cables on the basis of cable 1, i.e. second cable 5 and the 3rd cable 6, how several cables; Such as cable 4; Be that receiving system 3 links to each other with cable 1, second cable 5 and the 3rd cable 6, cable 1, second cable 5, cable 6 constitute closed loop, second closed loop and the 3rd closed loops, and closed loop, second closed loop and the 3rd closed loop are divided into a plurality of sub-perform regions with perform region 21.Cable 1, second cable 5 and the 3rd cable 6 can be connected to identical detecting signal unit 11, also can be connected to separate signal detecting unit 11 separately.Different cables can comprise each other, also can intersect each other, and this is also just according to a superiority of the utility model institute implementation system.
Fig. 5 has provided route and the method that another kind of guiding automatic equipment 2 is got back to the base station.In this method, perform region 21 is divided into a plurality of sub-perform regions by a plurality of cables, and a sub-perform region is wherein arranged especially, and the place that automatic equipment 2 need return has been represented in the zone that is for example surrounded by cable 4.When automatic equipment 2 need return the appointed place, can make automatic equipment 2 get into certain sub-perform region successively according to certain control algolithm, finally get back near the base station, need not to return along the border, therefore, a kind of method will be got well before its efficiency ratio.
A kind of cleaning surfaces machine list perform region is defined and guidance system, be that with embodiment 2 differences the automatic equipment of embodiment 2 is a mower, and the automatic equipment 2 of present embodiment is a kind of cleaning surfaces machine.
Fig. 6 has provided a kind of synoptic diagram of avoiding automatic equipment 2 to get into certain regional area.The zone that is surrounded by second cable 5 is that automatic equipment 2 is off-limits for a certain reason.A special mark of field signal that therefore can receive to this cable at input and signal processing unit is to show difference.Make automatic equipment 2 when getting into this zone, turn around to get back to the normal operation region that surrounds by cable 1 according to certain control algolithm.
The above is merely the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and all equalizations of being done according to the utility model claim change and modify, and all should belong to the covering scope of the utility model patent.
