The control scheme is as follows:
as shown in fig. 14, in the conventional self-propelled machine, the sensor position is relatively fixed, and for the data acquisition device such as a camera and an ultrasonic wave, because of factors such as shooting visual angle, ultrasonic wave emission taper and the like, when the ultrasonic wave transmission device is arranged at the top of the machine, a data acquisition blind area inevitably occurs, fig. 14 illustrates a camera as an example, and it can be seen that when the camera is at the position a and the position B, the blind areas are different in size, during actual data acquisition, the camera of the machine may be required to be located more forward (to identify an object close to the machine, so as to facilitate data collection of the machine in a closer range, such as identification of an obstacle in a close range) or more rearward (to enlarge a picture-taking view angle, to improve environmental data information contained in a picture, so as to facilitate collection of environmental data of the machine in a large range, such as mapping and establishing of a work map and planning of a map traversal path) as required.
For the laser sensor, generally, the laser sensor performs obstacle judgment by emitting a laser beam and receiving the reflected laser beam, and generally, the laser sensor emits a single laser beam, and the detection range of the laser sensor is limited. Sensors that emit multiple beams of laser light (point cloud laser sensors) are prohibitively expensive.
Under the condition that the laser emission height and the laser emission angle of the laser sensor are fixed, the laser sensor cannot acquire data information for the obstacle 300 lower than and equal to the laser emission height of the laser sensor.
When the laser sensor can swing up and down, the coverage range of the laser beam can be greatly enlarged, and the integrity of data acquisition is improved.
For some short obstacles close to the machine, the obstacles close to the machine can be better identified by changing the emission angle of the laser sensor.
Based on the background and by combining the sensor additional platform in the scheme, the following machine operation modes and corresponding control modes and flows are provided.
The first mode is as follows:
and the data acquisition mode is used for acquiring data of the environment around the machine, and the acquired data is used for constructing a map of the environment around the machine. The steps for performing this mode are as follows:
1. the machine enters a data acquisition mode, and specifically, the machine can enter the data acquisition mode in an automatic or manual control mode, wherein the manual control mode is a mode for manually controlling the machine to enter, such as a control button, a terminal, an app and the like; the automatic control mode is that the machine enters when the observation data is detected to meet the conditions, for example, when the ultrasonic wave/laser sensor detects that an obstacle exists in a specified distance range, the machine enters a data acquisition mode. The prescribed distance may be set artificially, for example, 10 m.
2. The machine performs a collection action in the data collection mode, the collection action being as follows:
the machine sequentially performs steering operation at certain interval angles, as shown in fig. 17, after the machine is steered each time, a laser sensor swing acquisition action is executed, and after the laser sensor swing acquisition action is executed, the next steering operation is executed; the swing collecting action of the laser sensor is as shown in fig. 15, in the additional platform 200, the laser sensor is driven by the second mounting bracket to swing, the pitch angle changes, and data are collected. The angular interval may be artificially set, for example, 5 °. During the action of acquiring the swing of the laser sensor, the laser sensor can acquire the height data of the complete obstacles in the front laser coverage area, when the machine turns to a circle, the width data of the obstacles around the machine can be acquired, and after the acquisition action is finished, the complete data of the environment around the machine can be acquired.
The condition for the machine to enter the data collection mode is illustrated in fig. 18, where the condition for the machine to use laser data as the operation data is that there are enough obstacles in a certain distance range around the machine, and the machine can collect enough laser data for decision of operation action. When the surrounding environment of the machine is spacious, the machine cannot use the laser data as the decision of the operation action. Therefore, in the map building process, when the machine runs into the area 700 around the house 500 or the area 700 around the obstacle 600 in the working map, the machine can acquire a data acquisition mode, acquire laser data and construct map information as reference data for the subsequent running of the machine. In the using process, for a machine with a GPS (global positioning system) constructed map, a surrounding area 700 can be set around an obstacle in the constructed map, and when the machine enters the area, a data acquisition mode is started to acquire laser data for the machine and construct a laser information map. The surrounding area 700 may also be identified in a map interface displayed in the user terminal or app, providing a prompt for the user to initiate a data collection mode when the machine enters the surrounding area 700. The action is only needed to be executed for the first time, and the action decision can be made by utilizing the laser data in the subsequent machine operation process.
And a second mode:
and in the obstacle avoidance mode, the emission angle of a machine laser sensor is adjusted, and the device is used for detecting obstacles close to the machine and avoiding obstacles.
The specific execution steps are as follows:
1. when the machine meets the obstacle avoidance condition, the machine enters an obstacle avoidance mode;
the conditions that are met may be any one or more of the following:
a. the machine enters the surrounding area 700 identified in the GPS map;
b. the sensors in the machine detect the presence of obstacles within a certain threshold distance around the machine, and the specific threshold distance can be set artificially, for example, 5 m.
2. In the additional platform 200, the camera module is driven by the first mounting bracket to move forward, and meanwhile, the laser sensor is driven by the second mounting bracket to swing forward and downward by a certain angle.
The above steps 1 and 2 can be operated circularly, and the smaller the threshold distance in step 1, the more the camera head moves forward in step 2, and the larger the angle of forward and downward swing of the laser sensor.
In the above mode, the obstacle in the near distance of the machine can be detected more accurately. Avoid because the blind area is too big, lead to leaking the inspection to the closely less barrier of height of the height of machine.
