The automatic homing method of Indoor Robot
[technical field]
The present invention relates to robot field more particularly to a kind of automatic homing methods of Indoor Robot.
[background technique]
In the prior art, at present the automatic homing charging method for indoor consumer robot application as shown in Figure 1, It is essentially all that (i.e. infrared positioning signal is used in Fig. 1 for the infrared beam that is emitted by the infrared localizing emission head of charging pile 1 Arrow indicates direction) contraposition realization, infrared advantage is that closely contraposition is accurate, and cost and power consumption are all very low, are conducive to be commercialized.
The infrared positioning signal of charging pile transmitting can mutually conflict with the infrared anti-collision signal of Indoor Robot itself, cause red Outer anticollision module cannot use, and can not inform the transmission of infrared signal between charging pile and Indoor Robot mutually, thus Cause during using infrared positioning signal automatic homing, Indoor Robot can only be blocked by impact switch detection front Object.If Indoor Robot centainly needs impact switch, the appearance and use of robot are significantly limited, and collision is opened It is extremely short to close detecting distance, the detecting distance for the infrared detection 10cm or more that is far from, so also not for the robot of heavier-weight It can use, since it is desired that certain braking distance.
Therefore, prior art problem is, Indoor Robot infrared positioning signal during automatic homing is prevented with infrared It hits signal coherence to disturb, leads to not normal use collision prevention function.
[summary of the invention]
It is of the existing technology in order to solve the problems, such as, a kind of method for homing of Indoor Robot is now provided, and take into account room Inner machine people other need it is unaffected using the function of infrared signal.
A kind of automatic homing method of Indoor Robot, Indoor Robot are returned using the infrared positioning signal of charging pile The infrared positioning signal of position, charging pile is sent with the infrared anti-collision signal sending cycle of Indoor Robot alternately, and Infrared anti-collision signal and infrared positioning signal are sent at times in signal period, and the period is less than Indoor Robot Anticollision minimum detection distance subtract difference obtained by the braking distance of Indoor Robot divided by the movement speed institute of Indoor Robot Obtained quotient, meanwhile, infrared positioning signal is met within the period and infrared anti-collision signal is sequentially completed.
Furthermore, charging pile sends the infrared positioning signal of multichannel, in signal period, the infrared positioning signal collection of multichannel In within the same period timesharing send, being sent in another period for infrared anti-collision signal carries out.
Furthermore, in signal period, one section of free time of interval carries out down again after being sent each time Primary transmission.
Furthermore, Indoor Robot is infrared anti-according to the infrared positioning signal adjustment received every several periods The transmission of signal is hit, method of adjustment includes:
Infrared anti-collision signal is judged whether it is when receiving infrared signal: if it is, handling into anticollision and complete Continue the reception and judgement of infrared signal after: otherwise, calculating the sending time for obtaining remaining infrared positioning signal, and It is adjusted according to the sending time of calculated result infrared anti-collision signal to infrared positioning signals all in current period after sending.
Furthermore, in the case where the adjustment of infrared anti-collision signal sending time had been carried out within a upper period, current It further include that verifying is adjusted after cycle detection calculates the transmission of the infrared positioning signal in each road to infrared positioning signal and carrying out Whether sending time is after all infrared positioning signals are sent: if it is not, then continuing the adjustment of sending time.
Furthermore, in signal period, Indoor Robot judges whether sending infrared anti-collision signal, and according to sentencing Disconnected result controls the transmission and stopping of the infrared positioning signal of charging pile by wireless communication, make the transmission of infrared positioning signal with The transmission of infrared anti-collision signal is alternately.
The invention has the advantages that the infrared positioning signal of alternately charging pile is sent and the infrared anti-collision of Indoor Robot Signal is sent so that during automatic homing also can smooth Infrared anticollision function: be during periodicity sending Stored counts error is avoided, the adjustment of sending time is carried out every several periods, avoids the overlapping of two sides transmission: using wireless It is tired in timing that the open and close control that communication mode carries out infrared positioning signal also avoids charging pile and Indoor Robot Product error, to avoid conflicting.
[Detailed description of the invention]
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram that the charging pile infrared lamp of prior art Indoor Robot emits:
Fig. 2 is the period composition schematic diagram of the infrared signal of one embodiment of the invention:
Fig. 3 is the method flow diagram that present example adjusts that infrared anti-collision emits the launch time of scanning signal.
[specific embodiment]
Explanation is further explained now in conjunction with drawings and examples to be illustrated that the present invention in further detail.
Present example refers to Fig. 2, and Indoor Robot is playbacked using the infrared positioning signal of charging pile, wherein is filled The infrared positioning signal of electric stake is sent with the infrared anti-collision signal sending cycle of Indoor Robot alternately, and single Infrared anti-collision signal and infrared positioning signal are sent at times in period.
As shown in Fig. 2, (present example is 3 to the infrared positioning signal of charging pile periodicity sending multichannel process coding Road), Indoor Robot distinguishes positioning to being decoded after receiving infrared positioning signal, determines the direction of charging pile.When The infrared positioning signal control of charging pile is completed to send within the previous period (Time 1) by preceding embodiment, and periodically raw At cycle time sets T.The signal of the anticollision of infrared anti-collision module is also to be emitted according to same periodicity simultaneously, one Equally control is completed within the latter period (Time2) in a period.Need to meet condition T > (Time l+Time 2) i.e. at this The signal for needing to be able to satisfy both sides in period is sequentially completed.Interaction between charging pile and Indoor Robot is as shown in Figure 3.Because The anticollision minimum detection distance of Indoor Robot is D, and considers most extreme case, and robot braking needs certain braking distance D, wherein the movement speed of Indoor Robot is V, therefore the selection of cycle T needs to meet robot present speed V*T+d < D.Institute It should be for less than or equal to (D-d)/V and greater than (Time l+Time 2) with T value range.Cycle T composition can refer to Fig. 2.Wherein Contraposition lamp A, contraposition lamp B and the range light of charging pile in turn send infrared positioning signal at times, infrared positioning signal Previous period Time 1 completion for concentrating on a cycle T is sent, and in latter period Time 2 then for Indoor Robot Infrared scan hair penetrates infrared anti-collision signal, is scanned, to realize anticollision purpose.It wherein aligns lamp A, contraposition lamp B and leads Infrared positioning signal transmitted by lamp of navigating is the encoded signal of 38KHz, i.e., different coding letters is superimposed with using the carrier wave of 38KHz Resulting encoded signal is ceased, encoded information is generally 8 or 16 addresses by coding, for distinguishing infrared positioning signal Sender, robot is parsed to obtain the infrared positioning signal to be which is red after receiving infrared positioning signal indoors Outer positioning signal, is calculated the infrared positioning signal sending time of remaining corresponding two-way, and then extrapolates infrared anti-collision The sending time of signal.
During alternately sending, because charging pile is generally between Indoor Robot, none is temporal together Step, so it is difficult to ensure that even, but both sides time counting is that have difference as robot with charging pile start time is It is other, so the time, which has been grown, also has temporal cumulative errors.It thus needs robot that can adjust infrared anti-collision transmitting to sweep Retouch the launch time of signal.It therefore can be temporal " right to charging pile and Indoor Robot progress after several periods It is quasi- ", one embodiment of the invention uses the method such as Fig. 3 to be adjusted every five periods, and method of adjustment includes: to receive Infrared anti-collision signal is judged whether it is when infrared signal: if it is, handling and continuing in the completed infrared into anticollision The reception and judgement of signal: otherwise, the sending time for obtaining remaining infrared positioning signal is calculated, and infrared according to calculated result The sending time of anticollision signal is adjusted to infrared positioning signals transmissions all in current period.
Sometimes since the time of adjustment is smaller, or the factors such as infrared positioning signal delay when next period starts, Cause infrared anti-collision signal adjusted still can conflict with infrared positioning signal, at this moment just needs to carry out verification processing.Therefore In the case that present example had carried out the adjustment of infrared anti-collision signal sending time within a upper period, detected in current period It further include that the adjusted sending time of verifying is after infrared positioning signal and carrying out calculates the transmission of the infrared positioning signal in each road It is no after all infrared positioning signals are sent: if it is not, then continuing the adjustment of sending time.
And the free time in Fig. 2 between each infrared signal transmission, i.e. Time 5, Time 6, Time7 and Time 8 The error in adjustment and treatment process is allowed for, so that each signal transmission process does not conflict with each other interference.
Another method for effectively avoiding conflict is to be implanted into wireless communication module, such as bluetooth, Wi-Fi in charging pile And ZigBee etc., the infrared signal transmit cycle on both sides is synchronized with wireless communication, as Indoor Robot completes infrared anti-collision letter Number transmission after the order for opening infrared positioning signal is sent to charging pile by wireless communication, to notify charging pile not emit Infrared positioning signal, then Indoor Robot retransmits the order for closing infrared positioning signal after charging complete, and starts to carry out red The transmission of outer anticollision signal is periodically carried out to scan, and also can reach the effect for avoiding conflict.
Invention is the advantage is that the infrared positioning signal of alternately charging pile is sent and the infrared anti-collision of Indoor Robot is believed Number send so that during automatic homing also can smooth Infrared anticollision function: kept away during periodicity sending Exempt from stored counts error, the adjustment of sending time is carried out every several periods, avoid the overlapping of two sides transmission: using channel radio The open and close control that letter mode carries out infrared positioning signal also avoids the accumulation of charging pile and Indoor Robot in timing Error, to avoid conflicting.
