This application is capable of implementation in many different ways than those herein set forth and of similar import by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of this application and is therefore not limited to the specific implementations disclosed below.

The current robot is one of intelligent household appliances, and can automatically walk in certain occasions by means of certain artificial intelligence. Various sensors are arranged on the robot body, and can detect the walking distance, the walking angle, the body state, obstacles and the like, and if the robot body touches a wall or other obstacles, the robot body can turn by itself, and can walk along different routes according to different settings, thereby walking in a planned place.

The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings:

an intelligent mobile garbage can system as shown in fig. 1 comprises a base station 10, a robot 20, a garbage can 30 and a mobile terminal 40. The base station 10 includes a placement stage, a guide module 12, and a charging terminal. The placing table further comprises a bottom plate 11 and a baffle plate 13, wherein the bottom plate 11 is used for placing the robot 20 and the garbage can 30. In order to fix the garbage can 30, baffle plates 13 are vertically arranged on two sides of the placing table, the baffle plates 13 are provided with magnets, and similarly, the magnets are also arranged at the corresponding positions of the garbage can 30. The magnet on the baffle 13 can assist the placing table to adjust the position of the garbage can 30, and the position deviation caused by the sliding of the roller 33 is avoided. The guiding module 12 guides the robot 20 to correctly reach the position of the trash can 30 by means of the positioning signal sent by itself, the signal may be a positioning signal generated by UWB positioning technology, zigbee positioning technology, wifi positioning technology, infrared positioning technology, or the like, and the robot 20 is provided with a positioning module 23 corresponding to the relevant positioning technology for searching the positioning signal sent by the guiding module 12. If the distance between the robot 20 and the base station 10 is too far and the positioning signal cannot be detected, a path to the base station 10 is searched according to a map created by the robot 20, and then the navigation is performed to the base station 10. After approaching the base station 10, the accurate position is found according to the positioning signal, and the navigation is performed into the base station 10. If the charging interface of the robot 20 is completely connected with the charging end of the base station 10, indicating that the robot 20 has successfully reached the position of the trash can 30, the related operations of sucking or releasing the trash can 30 can be performed.

Robot 20 includes electromagnet 21, light sensor 22, positioning module 23 and the interface that charges. The electromagnets 21 are disposed on the left and right sides of the robot 20, and the number of the electromagnets 21 is not limited, for example, two or three electromagnets 21 may be disposed on each side of the robot 20 to enhance the stability and firmness of the robot 20 when it sucks the trash can 30. The electromagnet 21 generates magnetic force with different intensity according to the current, and the magnetic force is larger than the magnetic force of the baffle 13 of the placing platform on the garbage can 30 and is enough to suck the garbage can 30 from the placing platform. The utility model discloses the magnetic force size of well electro-magnet 21 and magnet reachs through the continuous test of technical staff in the field, has considered several kinds of factors below at least in the test procedure: the weight of the base station, the weight of the trash can under different trash loads, and the positions and the number of the electromagnets 21 and the magnets. Consider the result that above factor carries out the test, confirmed the utility model discloses the magnetic force size that each position of intelligent movement garbage bin system should be used, in order to realize an intelligent movement garbage bin control method. The light sensor 22 is disposed on the upper surface of the robot 20, and may be a laser sensor or an infrared sensor, which scans the transparent belt 32 on the trash can 30 at a predetermined angle. When the height of the trash in the trash can 30 is below the transparent annular belt 32, the light emitted by the light sensor 22 will enter from one side of the transparent annular belt 32 of the trash can 30 and exit from the other side. At this time, the light sensor 22 can receive only a small amount of reflected light. When the height of the garbage in the garbage can 30 exceeds the transparent ring belt 32, the light emitted from the light sensor 22 cannot "escape" through the transparent ring belt 32. At this time, the light sensor 22 receives a large amount of reflected light. According to the above principle, the light sensor 22 can detect the garbage loading amount in the garbage bin 30, so as to avoid the situation that the robot 20 carries the full garbage bin 30 and the user cannot use the garbage bin.

The trash can 30 comprises a magnetic component 31, a transparent ring belt 32, a roller 33, a movable can cover 34 and a magnet. The magnetic member 31 is provided at the same height as the electromagnet 21 so that the robot 20 and the garbage can 30 can be properly docked. The side surface of the garbage can 30, on which the magnetic component 31 is arranged, is bent into an arc shape towards the inside of the garbage can 30, so that the contact area with the robot 20 can be increased, and the firmness of the robot 20 when the garbage can 30 is sucked is improved. It should be noted that the entire side surface with the magnetic member 31 may be provided with an inwardly curved arc, or only the portion contacting with the robot 20 may be provided with an arc, which may increase the volume of the trash can 30. The transparent ring belt 32 is used in cooperation with the above-mentioned light sensor 22 to detect the garbage load, and is disposed at the upper half of the garbage can 30. The transparent endless belt 32 on the side where the magnetic member 31 is provided is positioned lower than the transparent endless belt 32 on the opposite side, so that the light generated by the light sensor 22 can be incident from the lower transparent endless belt 32 and emitted from the upper transparent endless belt 32 when the amount of the dust is less than a predetermined amount. The rollers 33 comprise three universal wheels distributed in a triangular shape, so that the garbage can 30 can move in cooperation with the robot 20 conveniently. The movable barrel cover 34 is of a structure which is turned downwards and opened, so that a user can throw garbage conveniently and smell generated by the garbage can be isolated, and the movable barrel cover 34 can be detached from the garbage barrel 30, so that the user can clean the garbage conveniently. As shown in fig. 2, the movable barrel cover 34 includes a cap 341, a rotating shaft 342, and a limiting plate 343. The two covers 341 are disposed on two sides of the top of the trash can 30, and the covers 341 can freely rotate on the rotating shaft 342 by being mounted on the inner wall of the trash can 30 through the rotating shaft 342. It should be noted that the cap 341 is lighter on the side of the stopper 343, so that one side of the cap 341 sinks downward and the other side rises upward due to gravity. And because the spacing piece 343 is arranged above the cover 341, the cover 341 is limited from tilting to exceed the surface of the garbage can, so that the cover 341 is just level with the surface of the garbage can. The aforementioned effect can also be achieved by moving the rotating shaft 342 a small distance from the middle position of the cover 341 to the position of the position-limiting plate 343, for example, by disposing the rotating shaft 342 at a third to a half of the side of the cover 341 close to the position-limiting plate 343, which is also achieved by using the gravity of the cover 341 itself. The magnet is matched with the magnet on the baffle 13 of the placing table for use so as to fix the garbage can 30. It should be noted that the magnetic force generated by the magnet is smaller than the magnetic force generated by the electromagnet 21 of the robot 20. The magnetic force of each part is obtained after repeated tests of technicians, the magnetic force generated by the magnets is enough to attract the garbage can 30 when the garbage can 30 is close to the baffle 13, and the magnetic force generated by the electromagnets 21 is enough to bring the attracted garbage can 30 out of the placing table.

The mobile terminal 40 may be a mobile phone or a smart mobile device such as a tablet, and a corresponding APP is installed on the device. The mobile terminal 40 is used for sending a control command to the robot 20 to realize remote control. The control command includes information of sucking and releasing the trash can 30, position information of a designated position, information of position fine adjustment, and the like.

In the method for controlling the intelligent mobile trash can shown in fig. 3, it is assumed that a user needs the trash can to throw away trash while following a tv drama and eating snacks in a living room, but does not want to pause the tv drama. At the moment, the user opens the APP on the intelligent device, sends a control instruction to the robot, and enables the robot to carry the garbage can to the living room. Assuming that the robot is a floor sweeping robot and is sweeping a room, after receiving the control instruction, the robot records the current sweeping progress and then returns to the base station. According to a guide signal sent by the base station, the robot successfully climbs the bottom plate of the placing table and stops moving after the charging interface of the robot is in butt joint with the charging end of the base station. The robot opens the light sensor, scans the transparent ring belts of the garbage cans on two sides according to the set angle, and each side can feed back a group of reflected light intensity. The robot compares the fed back intensity with a preset intensity, if the intensity of the reflected light received by the robot is always greater than the preset intensity, the situation that the garbage loading amount reaches a specified amount is indicated, namely the garbage bin is full, the robot gives up absorbing the full garbage bin and sends related information to the mobile terminal to inform a user. If the intensity of the reflected light received by the robot is less than or equal to the preset intensity, the garbage loading amount is lower than the specified amount. The preset intensity is obtained by scanning the transparent annular band in an empty barrel state by the light sensor, performing mean value operation on the reflected light intensity at the middle moment, and setting the operation result to be the preset intensity and storing the preset intensity. The mean value operation is carried out by adopting the reflected light intensity obtained at the middle moment, so that the influence of the reflected light intensity of the non-transparent annular band part on the operation can be avoided, and the accuracy of the obtained preset intensity is improved.

At the moment, the electromagnets at the left side and the right side of the robot just face the magnetic components of the garbage can. The robot is electrified by the electromagnet, so that the electromagnet generates magnetic force to absorb the garbage can. It should be noted that the robot only sucks garbage cans with garbage loads lower than a specified amount. In addition, the user can also appoint the garbage bin that needs to let the robot carry through the APP, for example, only carry dry garbage bin and be used for throwing away the melon seed shell, perhaps only carry wet garbage bin and be used for throwing away the banana skin. After the robot absorbs the needed garbage can, the route is automatically planned to advance according to the position information sent by the mobile terminal. It should be noted that, since the robot carries the trash can, the radius value used for the internal algorithm operation of the robot changes accordingly, and the radius value at this time is equal to the actual radius of the robot plus the width of the trash can, or plus a constant greater than the width of the trash can. Therefore, when the robot exits the base station, collision can not occur when the robot turns because of insufficient retreat distance. And in the same way, unnecessary collision can be avoided when the obstacle is avoided.

After the robot carries the garbage can to arrive at the living room, a user can send an instruction through the mobile terminal to enable the robot to clean the room or charge the room, and the robot can be left in the living room to stand by. If the cleaning progress is the former, the robot releases the garbage can and then continues cleaning or returns to the base station for charging according to the stored cleaning progress. If the garbage can is used, after the garbage can is used, the user can send an instruction for the robot to return to the base station by carrying the garbage can through the mobile terminal. After the robot returns to the base station, the current of the electromagnet is cut off, and the garbage can is released, so that the garbage can be fixed on the baffle of the placing table. In addition, the robot may stop at a position different from the position desired by the user, and the user may adjust the position of the robot through the button on the APP to meet the user's expectation. When a plurality of users exist, the position of the robot can be adjusted by using the method so as to meet the requirements of different users.
