Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the examples given herein without any inventive step, are within the scope of the present invention.
The term "cliff" as used herein is a term specific to the field of autonomous mobile devices, and refers to a state in which the ground in front of the autonomous mobile device in the traveling direction is uneven, and thus the ground has undulations, such as a sunken, downward-falling ground state, e.g., downward steps/stairs, downward steep slopes, etc., or a ground state having protrusions lower than the height of the chassis of the autonomous mobile device, e.g., sill stones, doorbars, floor fan or floor lamp bases, upward-protruding small steps, upward slopes, which are all considered to have "cliffs" in the present invention. A cliff is a ground undulation state; the flat ground is also a ground rolling state, i.e. a ground rolling state with zero rolling. In the present invention, the ground detector detects ground heave information, that is, information on the ground heave state, to detect whether the ground has a ground heave state such as the "cliff", and for example, detects "ground heave information" indicating the distance from the ground detector to the ground to determine the ground heave state.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a ground detection method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the ground detection method according to this embodiment includes:
s110: transmitting an ultrasonic detection signal to the ground;
s120: receiving detection signal feedback information;
further, the probe signal feedback information includes: echo time and echo intensity;
the echo time is the time difference between an ultrasonic detection signal sent by an ultrasonic transmitting end arranged on a ground detector and detection signal feedback information of an ultrasonic echo received by an ultrasonic receiving end;
after being reflected by the ground, the ultrasonic detection signal transmitted to the ground by the ultrasonic transmitting end becomes an ultrasonic echo carrying ground material and/or distance information, which is called detection signal feedback information. The echo sound intensity is the sound intensity of the ultrasonic echo received by the ultrasonic receiving end.
S130: and determining the ground material according to the detection signal feedback information.
Further, determining the ground material according to the detection signal feedback information includes:
determining the distance from a ground detector to the ground according to the echo time;
and acquiring the ground material corresponding to the echo sound intensity at the distance according to the distance from the ground detector to the ground in a preset calibrated distance-material-echo sound intensity corresponding relation chart.
Further, the distance-material-echo sound intensity correspondence chart may be obtained by one of the following methods:
the first method is as follows: fixing the distance from the ground detector to the ground, changing the ground material, acquiring echo sound intensities corresponding to different ground materials, and acquiring the relationship between the ground material and the echo sound intensity; then changing the distance from the ground detector to the ground, and acquiring the relationship between the distance from the ground detector to the ground and the ground material and the echo sound intensity; or the like, or, alternatively,
the second method comprises the following steps: under the condition of the same ground material, adjusting the distance between the ground detector and the ground to obtain the corresponding relation between the distance between the ground detector and the ground and the echo sound intensity; then changing the ground material, and obtaining the relation between the distance from the ground detector to the ground and the ground material and the echo sound intensity; or the like, or, alternatively,
the third method comprises the following steps: and measuring the echo sound intensity under the conditions of changing the ground material and changing the distance from the ground detector to the ground, and acquiring the relationship between the distance from the ground detector to the ground and the ground material and the echo sound intensity.
In actual operation, the specific process of the first mode is as follows:
measuring the distance from the ground detector to the floor from d; the ground detector is fixedly provided with an ultrasonic transmitting end and an ultrasonic receiving end.
S131: the method comprises the following steps of respectively placing a ground detector under the environment of covering the ground by a wood floor, a ceramic tile and a carpet, setting the distance from the ground detector to the ground as d, emitting ultrasonic signals with the same intensity by an ultrasonic emitting end, reflecting the ultrasonic signals by the ground to form ultrasonic echoes carrying ground material and/or distance information, namely detecting signal feedback information, receiving the ultrasonic echoes by an ultrasonic receiving end, and respectively recording the echo sound intensity received by the ultrasonic receiving end under each ground material; at this time, recording as finishing one measurement;
s132: changing the distance from the ground detector to the ground, namely d + delta d, and carrying out next measurement according to the step S131 to obtain the corresponding relation of distance, material and echo sound intensity under each ground material;
s133: when d is less than or equal to S, repeating the step S132, wherein S is the calibrated maximum distance value;
s134: and (4) making a chart of the distance-echo sound intensity corresponding relation under each obtained ground material.
It should be noted that, in order to ensure the accuracy of the graph, when the echo sound intensity is measured at different distances for each ground material, a mode of measuring and averaging for multiple times may be adopted to finally determine the echo sound intensity, and then the distance-material-echo sound intensity corresponding relationship is determined to form a calibrated distance-material-echo sound intensity corresponding relationship graph.
Similarly, in the second mode, under the same ground material, the distance from the ground detector to the ground is adjusted, and the corresponding relation between the distance from the ground detector to the ground and the echo sound intensity is obtained; and then changing the ground material to obtain the relation between the distance from the ground detector to the ground and the ground material and the echo sound intensity. And the third mode is to obtain the relation between the distance from the ground detector to the ground and the sound intensity of the ground material and the echo under the condition of simultaneously changing the ground material and the distance from the ground detector to the ground. And will not be described in detail herein.
It can be understood that the distance from the ground detector to the ground is determined by the echo time, and in the implementation of this embodiment, the echo time-material-echo sound intensity corresponding relation chart can be established by completely referring to the above process.
In the actual ground detection process, echo time and echo sound intensity are obtained, the distance d ' from the bottom of the autonomous mobile equipment to the ground is calculated according to the echo time, comparison is carried out according to the distance d ' and a distance-material-echo sound intensity corresponding relation chart of the echo sound intensity after calibration, and if the echo sound intensity is in an echo sound intensity range corresponding to a certain ground material at the distance d ', the ground material where the ground detector is located is judged to be the ground material corresponding to the echo sound intensity range.
It should be noted that the distance d from the ground detector to the ground may be the same as or different from the distance d' from the bottom of the autonomous moving apparatus to the ground. If the ground probe is installed at the bottom of the autonomous mobile device and the lower end surface 203 of the ground probe (i.e., the lower end surface of the ultrasonic transmitting end 201 and/or the lower end surface of the ultrasonic receiving end 202) is flush with the lower surface of the bottom of the autonomous mobile device, as shown in fig. 6c, d is d'; otherwise, if the ground finder is installed in an inwardly concave recess of the bottom of the autonomous moving apparatus, as shown in fig. 6d, the distance d from the lower end surface 203 of the ground finder to the ground is greater than the distance d 'from the lower surface of the bottom of the autonomous moving apparatus (i.e., the lower surface of the chassis 400) to the ground, i.e., d > d'.
Since the ultrasonic waves cannot detect a surface at a short distance (for example, a normal ultrasonic detector cannot detect a surface within 2 cm), that is, the ultrasonic ground detector can only measure a surface beyond the error distance threshold D, the ultrasonic ground detector can be disposed in the concave portion of the bottom of the autonomous moving apparatus, as shown in fig. 6D, so that the depth of the concave portion is greater than the error distance threshold D, and thus, the range from the bottom of the autonomous moving apparatus to the ground 200 within the distance D' is a meaningful measurable distance for the ultrasonic ground detector. Of course, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the distance d from the ground finder to the ground and the distance d' from the bottom of the autonomous mobile apparatus on which the ground finder is mounted to the same ground differ by only one depth of the inwardly recessed portion of the bottom of the autonomous mobile apparatus, and the depth of the recessed portion is a constant determined after the ground finder is installed, as long as d is determined, i.e., d 'is determined, and vice versa, the "ground finder to ground distance" d of the present invention is only numerically different from the "bottom to ground distance" d' of the autonomous mobile device, but are identical in physical sense, therefore, the scope of the technical solution referred to by the "ground detector-to-ground distance" d of the present invention is equivalent to the scope of the "bottom-to-ground distance" d' of the autonomous mobile device, and shall be within the scope of the present invention.
For example, as shown in fig. 2, a curve 1 is a corresponding relationship diagram of a distance d' from the bottom of the autonomous moving apparatus to the ground and an echo sound intensity under a tile material; the curve 2 is a corresponding relation graph of the distance d' from the bottom of the autonomous mobile equipment to the ground and the echo sound intensity under the condition of the wood board material; curve 3 is a corresponding relationship diagram of the distance d' from the bottom of the autonomous moving apparatus to the ground and the echo sound intensity under the carpet material. For example, the detected distance d' from the bottom of the autonomous mobile device to the ground is 20mm, and the echo intensity is 0.021w/m2Then, according to the distance-material-echo intensity mapping table in fig. 2, when the distance d 'is 20mm, the echo intensity range corresponding to each ground material is found, and as can be seen from fig. 2, when the distance d' is 20mm, the echo intensity is 0.021w/m2And if the echo sound intensity range corresponding to the ceramic tile ground material is included, judging that the ground material where the ground detector is located is the ceramic tile ground.
The ground detection method of the embodiment obtains the feedback information of the ultrasonic echo detection signal carrying ground information by emitting the ultrasonic detection signal to the ground and reflecting the ultrasonic detection signal on the ground, receives the feedback information of the detection signal, and finally determines the ground material according to the feedback information of the detection signal; the method provided by the embodiment is not influenced by environmental factors such as the color of the ground, the light reflecting performance of the ground, the ambient illumination intensity and the like, the detection accuracy is high, and the processing process of the detection method is simple.
Fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of a second embodiment of the ground detection method according to the present invention.
As shown in fig. 3, the ground detection method according to the present embodiment includes:
s110: transmitting an ultrasonic detection signal to the ground;
s120: receiving detection signal feedback information;
further, the probe signal feedback information includes: echo time and echo intensity;
the echo time is the time difference between an ultrasonic detection signal sent by an ultrasonic transmitting end arranged on a ground detector and detection signal feedback information of an ultrasonic echo received by an ultrasonic receiving end;
after being reflected by the ground, the ultrasonic detection signal transmitted to the ground by the ultrasonic transmitting end becomes an ultrasonic echo carrying ground material and/or distance information, which is called detection signal feedback information. The echo sound intensity is the sound intensity of the ultrasonic echo received by the ultrasonic receiving end.
S130': and determining the ground material according to the echo time and the echo intensity, and determining the fluctuation information of the ground according to the echo time.
Determining the ground material according to the echo time and the echo intensity is described in the above embodiments, and will not be described herein.
Further, determining the ground material according to the echo time and the echo intensity comprises:
determining the distance from a ground detector to the ground according to the echo time;
and acquiring the ground material corresponding to the echo sound intensity at the distance according to the distance from the ground detector to the ground in a preset calibrated distance-material-echo sound intensity corresponding relation chart. The obtaining method of the distance-material-echo sound intensity correspondence chart refers to the above embodiment, and is not described herein again.
Further, determining the fluctuation information of the ground according to the echo time and the echo intensity comprises:
determining the distance from a ground detector to the ground according to the echo time;
judging whether the distance from the ground detector to the ground is within a preset safety threshold range or not;
if the distance from the ground detector to the ground is within a preset safety threshold range, judging that the ground does not have a cliff, such as the ground is flat, or the ground has small fluctuation, and the normal operation of the autonomous mobile equipment is not influenced;
if the distance from the ground detector to the ground is out of the range of a preset safety threshold value, judging that the ground has a cliff; if the distance d 'from the bottom of the autonomous mobile device to the ground exceeds a safety threshold (e.g., d' > 25mm), it may be determined that the ground in front may have a sunken, concave cliff, such as a downward step/staircase, a downward steep slope, or other ground heave condition; or if the distance d 'from the bottom of the autonomous mobile device to the ground is below a safety threshold range (e.g., d' <2mm), a cliff with a protrusion from the front ground that is below the height of the autonomous mobile device chassis, such as a sill stone, a passing door strip, a pedestal of a floor fan or floor lamp, a small step protruding upward, an upward slope, or other ground heave condition, may be determined. The safety threshold in this case ranges from 2mm to 25 mm. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that different safety threshold ranges may be set for different application scenarios or autonomous mobile device types, for example, for a cleaning robot, a safety threshold range of 0mm to 40mm may also be set, and thus the safety threshold range should not limit the scope of the present invention.
In the actual ground detection process, echo time and echo sound intensity are obtained, the distance d ' from the autonomous mobile equipment to the ground is calculated according to the echo time, comparison is carried out according to the distance d ' and a distance-material-echo sound intensity corresponding relation chart of the echo sound intensity after calibration, and if the echo sound intensity is in an echo sound intensity range corresponding to a certain ground material at the distance d ', the ground material where the ground detector is located is judged to be the ground material corresponding to the echo sound intensity range. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, such as detected autonomous mobile device arrivalThe distance d' of the ground is 20mm, and the echo sound intensity is 0.012w/m2From the distance-material-echo intensity correspondence table in fig. 2, when the distance d 'is 20mm, the echo intensity range corresponding to each ground material is found, and as can be seen from fig. 2, when the distance d' is 20mm, the echo intensity is 0.012w/m2And if the position belongs to the echo sound intensity range corresponding to the carpet floor material, judging that the floor material below the floor detector is the floor covered by the carpet at the moment. And further judging whether the distance d 'is 20mm within a preset safety threshold range (0-40mm), and judging that the ground does not have the cliff because the distance d' is 20mm within the preset safety threshold range (0-40 mm). It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above examples for identifying various floor materials such as wood boards, ceramic tiles, carpets, etc. are only illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the technical solution of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 6a, the ground finder 7 is used to detect ground relief information on the autonomous mobile device's motion path. In the prior art, most of ground detectors for detecting ground relief information belong to light detectors for acquiring ground relief information through electromagnetic waves, for example, infrared pair transistors detect the ground through infrared rays, and TOF (time of flight ranging sensor) detects the ground through laser. The basic mode of the light detector is that a transmitting end emits detection light (such as infrared rays or laser light), a receiving end receives incident light of the detection light which enters the receiving end after passing through a surface to be detected, and distance information from the light detector to the ground is obtained, so that whether the ground to be detected rises or falls is judged. The light detector is often interfered by factors such as ground color, light intensity, light source change and the like, for example, a dark floor can cause the light detector to be misjudged as a cliff; and the excessively bright light rays are reflected into the receiving end after being reflected by the mirror surface, so that the receiving end of the light ray detector is saturated, and the ground state cannot be judged.
The ground detection method of the embodiment transmits the ultrasonic detection signal to the ground, obtains the ultrasonic echo detection signal feedback information carrying the ground information through ground reflection, receives the detection signal feedback information, finally determines the fluctuation information of the ground material and the ground according to the detection signal feedback information, can detect the fluctuation state of the ground material and the ground simultaneously only by using one group of ultrasonic sensors, and has simple processing process; the method can ensure that the corresponding ground detector has simple structure, small volume and low requirement on the installation space at the bottom of the autonomous mobile equipment; in addition, the method can effectively avoid the interference of light to the ground detector, is not influenced by environmental factors such as ground color, ground light reflection performance, environmental illumination intensity and the like, and has high detection accuracy.
