By applying the method for determining the charging working area of the charging pile of the sweeper, the direction which is perpendicular to the wall body which is placed close to the charging pile and extends towards the target area is taken as the front direction of the charging pile, so that the charging working area of the charging pile of the sweeper can be calculated without any other data processing after the position coordinate of the charging pile is determined, the speed is high, and the implementation process is simple.
The method for determining the charging work area of the charging pile of the sweeper is described in detail by the following specific example.
As shown in fig. 4, the charging post may be placed in four orientations 1, 2, 3, 4. The sweeper goes to find a wall from the initial position, and if the sweeper detects the AD wall, the sweeper can move forward to the position of the point O, and at the moment, the map building is started. Point O is then the origin of coordinates (0, 0), and the coordinate values of four points A, B, C, D at the corners of the four walls are assumed to be as shown in the figure. The charging posts 1, 2, 3, 4 then have coordinates (X1, -60), (-100, Y2), (X3,20), (0, Y4), respectively. Wherein X1, Y2, X3 and Y4 are unknown, which indicates that the charging pile can be placed at any position of the wall.
The machine of sweeping the floor uses right side infrared sensor to detect and fills electric pile at the in-process of walking along the wall, and under the normal condition, the machine of sweeping the floor is towards the wall, can't receive the infrared signal who fills electric pile. When the front infrared distance measurement or the collision sensor detects an obstacle, the right infrared sensor can receive a signal of the charging pile when the sweeper turns, and the coordinate values of (X, Y) of a group of charging piles are recorded.
When the sweeper walks along the wall, when the Y-axis coordinate value in the coordinate values of the sweeper changes within a certain threshold range, the sweeper can be determined to be on an AD wall surface or a BC wall surface, and whether the sweeper is on the AD wall surface or the BC wall surface can be further determined according to the size of Y-axis data.
When the sweeper walks along the wall, when the coordinate value of the X axis in the coordinate values of the sweeper changes within a certain threshold range, the sweeper can be determined to be on an AB wall surface or a CD wall surface, and the AB wall surface or the CD wall surface can be further determined according to the size of the X axis data.
When the wall surface is determined, the forward point coordinates of the charging piles 1, 2, 3 and 4 can be (X1, -60+ L), (-100+ L, Y2), (X3,20-L), (0-L, Y4), respectively.
Wherein L is the distance to the electric pile is filled to forward some distance.
As an example, the forward point of the charging column is one point of the charging working area, and in practical application, the charging working area is one area.
Example four
In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art, the embodiment of the invention provides a sweeper charging control method, wherein the sweeper charging control method provided by the embodiment of the invention is suitable for realizing recharging by using an infrared coding and decoding method, and because the infrared signal distance is short, the approximate position of a charging pile must be determined firstly, and then the sweeper is navigated to a charging working area (within an infrared signal range) of the charging pile to perform automatic recharging.
The charging control method of the sweeper provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps:
according to the method for determining the charging working area of the charging pile of the sweeper in the charging working area of the charging pile, the charging working area of the charging pile is determined;
detecting whether the electric quantity of the sweeper is smaller than a preset electric quantity threshold value in real time:
if so, controlling the sweeper to walk to a charging working area of the charging pile from the current position so as to charge the sweeper by using the charging pile;
if not, no response is given.
Wherein, control machine of sweeping the floor from the current position walking to the work area that charges of filling electric pile, include following step:
by A*The algorithm or the Dijkstra algorithm plans the path from the current position to the charging working area of the sweeper, so that the sweeper can walk from the current position to the charging working area according to the planned path.
