Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
In the case of generating a boundary line from a mobile robot or an intelligent power tool, taking an intelligent lawnmower as an example, as shown in fig. 1, when generating a boundary line 120 of an intelligent lawnmower 110, the intelligent lawnmower 110 may be generally controlled to move along the predetermined boundary line 120 manually, a navigation device 130 integrated with the intelligent lawnmower may be attached to the intelligent lawnmower 110, and the navigation device 130 may generally be non-detachable. The navigation device 130 receives the positioning signal of the base station 140, and can obtain continuous coordinate points of the intelligent lawn mower 110 moving along the boundary line 120, and the continuous coordinate points are the boundary line 120. Since the navigation device 130 is not detachable, in order to acquire the coordinate point of the boundary line 120, the intelligent mower 110 and the navigation device 130 must be moved together to acquire the coordinate point of the boundary line 120, but the technical problems of heavy weight, large size, inflexible movement and difficult control of the intelligent mower obviously exist.
For this reason, a conventional simple method of acquiring the coordinate points of the boundary line 120 is, as shown in fig. 2, to control the intelligent lawnmower 110 to move A, B, C, D continuously along the predetermined boundary line 120, etc., for a total of N coordinate points, and then to connect the N coordinate points together as the boundary line. However, the method also has the technical problems that the intelligent mower is heavy and large, is inflexible to move and is difficult to control, and the boundary line formed by connecting the N coordinate points is easy to cause incompleteness.
To solve the above technical problem, as shown in fig. 3, the present embodiment provides a navigation device 130, wherein the navigation device 130 is detached from the intelligent lawn mower 110, and meanwhile, the navigation device 130 can also be reinstalled on the intelligent lawn mower 110, that is, the navigation device 130 is detachably mounted on the intelligent lawn mower 110. With the present embodiment, the coordinate points of the predetermined boundary line 120 can be acquired by the navigation device 130 alone, thereby generating the boundary line.
As shown in fig. 4, the navigation device 130 includes a recording module 131, a storage module 132, and a transmitting module 133.
The recording module 131 is used for recording coordinate data when the navigation device 130 moves according to the preset boundary line 120. As shown in fig. 5, the navigation device 130 detached from the intelligent lawn mower 110 is small and light, and can be easily carried and moved by a human. Therefore, the navigation device 130 can be manually carried to move along the predetermined boundary line 120, so as to obtain coordinate points of the predetermined boundary line 120, wherein the coordinate points are continuous or discontinuous coordinate points, and the connecting lines of the coordinate points are the boundary lines of the final intelligent lawn mower.
The storage module 132 is used for storing the coordinate data recorded by the recording module. The coordinate points acquired by the recording module 131 need to be stored in time, and for this reason, a storage module 132 needs to be provided on the navigation device 130 to prevent data loss.
And a transmitting module 133 for transmitting the coordinate data stored in the storage module to the outside. The sending module 133 can send the coordinate data of the boundary line 120 in time, for example, to the intelligent lawn mower. The transmitting module 133 may be a wireless transmitting module, or may be a wired transmitting module that can be connected to a transmission data interface (including a USB interface, etc.) in the smart mower.
The navigation device can be freely detached or installed in the intelligent mower, when a boundary line of the intelligent mower needs to be generated, the navigation device only needs to be detached from the intelligent mower, the boundary line can be generated simply through the navigation device, and the boundary line is effectively and conveniently generated.
Since the navigation device 130 can be freely detached from or installed in the intelligent lawn mower, when the navigation device is installed in the intelligent lawn mower, in order to ensure the connection stability, the navigation device 130 can be provided with an interface module for fixedly installing the navigation device on the intelligent lawn mower. The interface module can be a socket or a slot, and can be installed in the intelligent mower.
The recording module 131 may be a DGPS recording module, a GPS recording module, a beidou recording module, or a differential beidou recording module. Preferably, in order to ensure the recording accuracy, a DGPS recording module or a differential Beidou recording module can be adopted.
To facilitate power supply, the navigation device 130 also includes a battery for providing power to the navigation device. The battery may be charged separately or may be charged by the smart mower after the navigation device 130 is installed inside the smart mower.
The embodiment also provides a navigation device, which comprises a trolley and the navigation device installed on the trolley.
According to the navigation equipment, after the navigation device is arranged on the trolley, the trolley is pushed to move along the preset boundary line, and then the coordinate data of the boundary line can be generated, so that the generation of the boundary line is effectively facilitated.
Wherein the trolley has at least one rolling wheel.
The present embodiment further provides a self-moving robot, including the above navigation device 130, further including:
a receiving module, configured to establish a connection with the sending module 133 to receive the coordinate data sent by the sending module 133. The receiving module may be a wireless receiving device or a wired receiving module corresponding to the transmitting module 133.

In this embodiment, the self-moving robot further includes a memory for storing the coordinate data received by the receiving module.
The following description of the present embodiment refers to the intelligent lawn mower 110 as a self-moving robot.
When the navigation device 130 is installed in the intelligent lawn mower 110, the storage module 132 in the navigation device 130 usually stores the coordinate data of the boundary line 120, and because the coordinate data is stored, after the navigation device 130 is installed in the intelligent lawn mower 110, the receiving module can directly store the coordinate data of the boundary line 120 read from the storage module 132 by the sending module 133 into the memory of the intelligent lawn mower 110, so as to facilitate the intelligent lawn mower 110 to identify the boundary line 120.
As shown in fig. 6, after the navigation device 130 is installed into the smart lawn mower 110, the smart lawn mower 110 may move inside the boundary line 120 that the navigation device 130 has determined. When the intelligent mower moves, the recording module 131 in the navigation device 130 can record the position coordinate data of the intelligent mower in real time, the sending module 133 can send the position coordinate data of the intelligent mower to the receiving module of the intelligent mower in real time, and the receiving module can send the position coordinate data of the intelligent mower to the memory of the intelligent mower in time for storage.
When the intelligent mower moves, whether the intelligent mower moves in the boundary line 120 needs to be detected in real time, and therefore the intelligent mower further comprises a detection control module for detecting whether the coordinate data of the boundary line stored in the memory is overlapped with the coordinate data of the intelligent mower stored in the memory, and controlling the intelligent mower to move in the boundary line when the coordinate data of the boundary line is overlapped. When the coordinate data of the intelligent mower is overlapped with the coordinate data of the boundary line, the intelligent mower is indicated to exceed the boundary line or be about to exceed the boundary line, and the moving direction of the intelligent mower needs to be controlled in time. For this purpose, the detection control module comprises a detection unit and a movement control unit, wherein the detection unit is used for detecting whether the coordinate data of the boundary line stored in the memory is overlapped with the coordinate data of the intelligent mower stored in the memory; the movement control unit is used for controlling the intelligent mower to move in the boundary line when the coordinate data of the boundary line stored in the memory is overlapped with the coordinate data of the intelligent mower stored in the memory.
