Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are only some, but not all embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention. That is, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
The invention provides a sweeping robot.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the sweeping robot of the present invention includes a housing 10, a control module, and a moving module and a dust removing module connected to the control module, and further includes a dust removing module connected to the control module:
a power assembly including a fixed portion relatively stationary with respect to the housing 10 and a movable portion 21 movable with respect to the fixed portion;
the laser radar assembly comprises a bottom plate 31 connected with the movable part 21, a rotating part 32 arranged on the bottom plate 31 and rotating around an axis in the vertical direction relative to the bottom plate 31, and a laser radar connected with the rotating part 32;
wherein the movable part 21 is used for raising or lowering the height of the bottom plate 31 relative to the housing 10; and the floor 31 is elevated to the highest position relative to the housing 10, the lidar is positioned higher than the housing 10; the heights of the power assembly, the control module, the moving module and the dust removal module are not greater than the height of the housing 10.
The invention adopts the movable part 21 for raising or lowering the height of the bottom plate 31 relative to the shell 10, and the rotating part 32 in the laser radar component is arranged on the bottom plate 31, so that the raising and lowering of the rotating part 32 relative to the shell 10 are realized through the movable part 21, and the raising and lowering of the laser radar relative to the shell 10 are driven. By realizing the lifting and lowering of the laser radar, on one hand, a map with a certain height range (the range between the lowest position and the highest position of the laser radar) can be established, so that a more comprehensive cleaning map is obtained, which positions can be accessed by the sweeping robot and which positions can not be accessed by the sweeping robot can be determined; on the other hand, since the position of the lidar is higher than the housing 10 and the position of the lidar is liftable, the highest height of the sweeping robot in the present invention may be determined by the position of the lidar by default (the height of the rotating part 32 is ignored for convenience of understanding), and the highest height of the sweeping robot may be lowered by lowering the position of the lidar, so that when some lower space is encountered, the sweeping robot enters the lower space by lowering the position of the lidar to perform sweeping.
Specifically, when the height of the lower space is 7cm, the lowest height of the housing 10 of the sweeping robot is less than 7cm, and the laser radar component can be accommodated in the housing 10, so that the sweeping robot can enter the lower space when the height of the laser radar component is reduced; when the laser radar is lifted, a more comprehensive cleaning map can be established, for example, the laser radar can be lifted to a height of 9cm from the ground, and then the space in the height range of 7-9cm can be scanned by the laser radar.
It should be noted that the control module mentioned in the present invention may be disposed in the housing 10, the moving module and the dust removing module are partially disposed in the housing 10, after all, the moving module and the dust removing module need to be in contact with the ground, but the housing 10 cannot be in contact with the ground, and the heights of the control module, the moving module and the dust removing module are not greater than the height of the housing 10; the fixing part in the power assembly can be directly connected with the inside of the shell 10 or indirectly connected through other connecting pieces; the rotating portion 32 and the base plate 31 may together form a brushless motor, and the rotating portion 32 corresponds to a rotor of the brushless motor, so as to rotate the rotating portion 32 relative to the base plate 31, although other types of motors are also possible.
The movable portion 21 may be a retractable rod that moves up and down, such as a moving rod in a cylinder structure, and the bottom plate 31 in the laser radar assembly may be directly connected to the moving rod.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the movable portion 21 is provided as a vertically disposed rotating shaft, an external thread 211 is provided on an outer wall of the rotating shaft, a first through hole 312 penetrating through a plate surface of the bottom plate 31 is provided on the bottom plate 31, the rotating shaft is sleeved with the bottom plate 31 through the first through hole 312, and an internal thread 313 matched with the external thread 211 is provided in the through hole. The rotating shaft may be a rotating shaft of a motor, at this time, the fixed portion corresponds to a stator of the motor, and the stator may be directly or indirectly fixedly connected with the housing 10, so as to achieve the purpose that the fixed portion is stationary relative to the housing 10, and the movable portion 21 can move relative to the fixed portion. At this time, the external thread 211 on the outer wall of the rotating shaft is matched with the internal thread 313 in the first through hole 312 on the bottom plate 31, so that the bottom plate 31 can be lifted or lowered relative to the housing 10 in the forward and backward rotation process of the rotating shaft, and the laser radar is finally driven to be lifted or lowered. It is easy to think that the rotating shaft can also be a rotating rod driven by a cylinder or a motor connecting with a gear and/or a belt and other driving parts, as long as the rotating rod can meet the rotating requirement.
In order to further simplify the structure of the sweeping robot, the laser radar is arranged in the rotating part 32, and at this time, a 'perspective structure' for the light of the laser radar to enter and exit, such as glass, can be arranged on the outer wall of the rotating part 32; meanwhile, in order to lower the lowest height of the whole sweeping robot, a second through hole 321 is provided on the lower surface of the rotating part 32 corresponding to the rotating shaft, and when the height of the bottom plate 31 relative to the housing 10 is lowest, the top end of the rotating shaft is inserted into the second through hole 321, preferably, as shown in fig. 1, a second through hole 321 is provided to penetrate the rotating part 32; thus, when the bottom plate 31 is lowered to the lowest position, the top end of the rotating shaft is inserted into the second through hole 321, and at this time, the space occupied by the structure of inserting the rotating shaft into the second through hole 321 can be saved, and the rotating portion 32 can be lowered as much as possible, so as to lower the lowest height of the whole sweeping robot.
In the present invention, an opening (not identified) is provided on the upper surface of the housing 10, the lidar component is accommodated in the housing 10 through the opening, so that the lidar can enter and exit the housing 10 through the opening, and when the lidar component is accommodated in the housing 10, the lowest height of the sweeping robot is the highest height of the housing 10; meanwhile, the laser radar is positioned in the shell 10, so that external dust can be prevented from shielding the transmitting and receiving ports of the laser radar.
In order to maximize the utilization space, the lidar is disposed in the rotating portion 32, and when the rotating portion 32 enters the housing 10, the upper surface of the rotating portion 32 is flush with the upper surface of the housing 10, so that dust is prevented from falling into the housing 10 through the opening. The upper surface of the housing 10 may be planar or curved, and the upper surface of the rotating portion 32 may be matched with the upper surface.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, when the lidar component can be accommodated in the housing 10 through the opening, in order to enhance the stability of the movement of the bottom plate 31 when the height of the bottom plate 31 relative to the housing 10 is raised or lowered, a protrusion 311 is formed on one of the housing 10 and the outer side wall of the bottom plate 31, and a groove for mating with the protrusion 311 is formed on the other; the protrusion 311 or the groove in the housing 10 is arranged in a strip shape, so that the structure forming the protrusion 311 or the groove in the housing 10 forms a guide rail 11, and the corresponding groove or protrusion 311 in the outer side wall of the bottom plate 31 can move along the guide rail 11, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the movement of the bottom plate 31 and ensuring the stability of the movement. Preferably, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the structures of the protrusion 311 and the recess may be arranged in two groups, and the two groups of structures may be arranged oppositely, so as to further enhance the stability of the movement of the bottom plate 31.
As shown in fig. 2, a protrusion 311 protruding outwards from the bottom plate 31 is formed on the outer side wall of the bottom plate 31, and a sliding groove 111 slidably fitted with the protrusion 311 is formed in the housing 10; and a resistor is formed on the wall of the chute 111 along the length direction of the chute 111, the cross-sectional areas of the resistors are the same, and the protrusion 311 is electrically connected with the resistor. At this time, when the bottom plate 31 moves up and down relative to the housing 10, the protrusion 311 on the outer side wall of the bottom plate 31 is electrically connected to the position of the resistor with different resistance along the length direction of the resistor, which is obvious, the protrusion 311 and the resistor form a sliding rheostat, when the sliding rheostat is connected to a circuit, the resistance of the sliding rheostat can be calculated by detecting voltage and/or current, then L can be obtained according to the resistance, the formula r=ρl/S of the law of resistance and the formula i=u/R of the law of ohm, i.e. the distance from the point of the resistor connected to the circuit to the connection point of the protrusion 311 and the resistor, and then the height of the laser radar can be easily calculated according to the L and the heights of the components in the sweeping robot.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, a simple circuit is provided for measuring L, the sliding rheostat R1 is connected in series with a resistor R2, and voltage V2 is measured by sampling voltage between R1 and R2, where V1/(r1+r2) =v2/R2 can be obtained according to ohm' S law, r1= (V1-V2) R2/V2 can be calculated, and l=s (V1-V2) R2/ρv2 can be calculated according to the resistance law formula r=ρl/S. It is easily conceivable that it can also be measured by other circuits, as well as by detecting the current; since the control chip generally has a function of sampling a voltage, a circuit for detecting a voltage is preferable.
The present invention also proposes a method for creating a map of a robot for sweeping floor, wherein the specific structure of the robot for sweeping floor refers to the robot for sweeping floor in the above embodiment, the laser radar has a lowest exceeding position and a highest exceeding position higher than the housing 10, as shown in fig. 4, the method for creating a map of the robot for sweeping floor includes:
s10: dividing the height between the lowest exceeding position and the highest exceeding position into N positions in the vertical direction;
s20: after controlling the lidar to move to each of the N positions, controlling the rotating portion 32 to drive the lidar to rotate at least one circle relative to the bottom plate 31, so as to establish N planar maps corresponding to the N positions.
In order to enhance the accuracy of the map, the larger the value of N is, the better; preferably, the N positions may include a lowest excess position and a highest excess position.
It is worth mentioning that the measuring method of the movement of the lidar to each of the N positions can be implemented by forming a sliding rheostat as mentioned in the above embodiments.
The invention also provides a control method of the sweeping robot, which comprises the method for establishing the three-dimensional map of the sweeping robot, and the control method of the sweeping robot further comprises the following steps:
and when the laser radar is positioned at one position in the N positions, controlling the moving module to move according to the plane map corresponding to the position in the N plane maps. The control method is a control method when the lidar is higher than the housing 10.
It is worth mentioning that the N positions are preferably equally allocated; when the position moved by the laser radar does not belong to any position of the N positions, judging which position of the N positions the position moved by the laser radar belongs to according to a nearby principle, specifically, when the position moved by the laser radar is between an A position and a B position, the A position and the B position are close to the position moved by the laser radar, namely the position moved by the laser radar is defaulted; if the distance between the position a and the position B and the position to which the laser radar moves is the same, the position a and the position B may be a position near the upper side or a position below the upper side.
When the height of the lidar is smaller than or equal to the height of the housing 10, the lidar may be already accommodated in the housing 10, and the scanning effect of the lidar is poor, and the sweeping robot may further include at least one sensor stationary relative to the housing 10, and the control method of the sweeping robot further includes: controlling the movement module to move, and establishing a sensor map through the sensor; and controlling the mobile module to move according to the sensor map. The control method is a control method when the height of the laser radar is equal to or less than the housing 10.
Preferably, the sensor includes at least one of a collision sensor, an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, and an acceleration sensor.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention, but rather should be understood to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following description and drawings or any application directly or indirectly to other relevant art(s).
