其中,该自动行走园艺设备受外力驱动移动时,控制单元减小驱动电机输出的功率。这样使得自动行走园艺设备处在预设的速度,实现抑制自动行走园艺设备的移动速度。
上述实施方式中驱动电机包含用于驱动自动行走园艺设备移动的驱动电机;还可包含用于驱动自动行走园艺设备工作的电机(如,割草电机)。自动行走园艺设备包含有移动组件如滚轮组件、移动件(履带)。
上述实施方式中,驱动电机采用直流电机,直流电机包含有定子组件,转子组件;其中,定子组件是直流无刷电机的静止部分,主要包含有导磁的定子铁芯、导电的电枢绕组及固定铁芯和绕组用的一些零部件、绝缘材料、引出部分等,转子组件包含有永磁体。电机通电后电枢绕组(励磁线圈)通过高频信号会在电机内产生一个磁场,与转子组件上的永磁体相互作用从而产生驱动转子组件旋转的电磁力矩。在一实施方式中,转子组件位于定子组件的内侧(内转子直流电机)。
上述实施方式中,自动行走园艺设备在运行时若受到外力推动或在下坡移动,这时自动行走园艺设备由于受到外力的作用,该外力的方向与自动行走园艺设备的移动方向相同,若维持受外力前的方式进行控制(维持驱动力不变),自动行走园艺设备的移动速度会增大。通过减小驱动电机输出的功率如降低储能单元输出的电流,这样定子组件的绕组产生的磁场强 度减弱,进而与转子组件上的永磁体相互作用产生驱动转子组件旋转的电磁力矩减小(驱动电机的驱动力减小)这样转子组件的旋转速度下降。由驱动电机驱动力引发的驱动自动行走园艺设备移动速度逐渐下降。通过这样的设计调整驱动电机的驱动力抑制自动行走园艺设备的移动速度。这样可保持自动行走园艺设备处于预设的速度(预设的速度范围)。这时驱动电机由于驱动电流减小这样在定子组件的绕组产生的磁场强度减弱进而与转子组件上的永磁体相互作用产生驱动转子组件旋转的电磁力矩减小,导致转子组件的旋转速度下降。降低自动行走园艺设备受到外力(如下坡时或外力推动移动时)由于快速移动引发翻车、碰到障碍物等引发工具损坏的问题,提高了工具的可靠性或者自动行走园艺设备下坡时由于快速移动冲出了边界线导致不能完成预定的任务,冲出边界线后由于自动行走园艺设备不受边界线的约束,无法进行路径的规划,盲开(如驶入水坑)等引发工具损坏的问题。本实施方式中,驱动电机减小的驱动力的大小大致等于自动行走园艺设备受到的额外的外力的大小。在一实施方式中该外力的方向与自动行走园艺设备的移动方向呈一夹角,但通过对该外力进行分解,其一个方向上的分解力的方向与自动行走园艺设备的移动方向相同。
上述实施方式中,在某些场合自动行走园艺设备无须驱动电机提供驱动力仅依靠外力即可移动,这时设备的滚动轮组的滚动带动电机转子组件转动在电机上产生感应电势(即,电机的转子组件的转动电机上产生感应电动势);若该感应电势高于储能单元的电压时,电机产生的电能存储至储能单元。这样提高工具的整体效率。接下来结合附图,详细的描述本公开的电机产生的电能转移至储能单元实施方式。
如图1所示,为本公开实施方式的自动行走园艺设备的结构示意图。本实施例中,沿Y轴方向,其底部的后端部(下端部)配置2个驱动电机(即左电机,右电机),其分别连接至相应的滚动轮组;底部的前端部(上端部)配置2个万向轮(即左万向轮,右万向轮)。该结构通过调节2个驱动电机(即左电机,右电机)的转动状态能够实现工具任意姿态的运动,如,当左右轮同速同向转动时工具实现前进或者后退,当左/右电机同速反向转动时工具原地转动,当左/右电机转速不同时工具沿一定弧线运行。
上述实施方案中,自动行走园艺设备的储能单元搭载有至少一个电池包,该电池包配置在外壳主体的内部(电池包连接至供电连接部进而给向驱动电机及控制单元提供动力);自动行走园艺设备驱动部分由驱动电机组成(左电机,右电机)。除了驱动电机,自动行走园艺设备中还有配置一个用于控制工作(如,割草)的电机(图未示),该电机用来带动刀盘运转,刀盘上安装刀片,在电机高速运行时进行工作如割草。驱动电机包含定子组件、位于所述定子组件内侧的转子组件,转子组件(通过减速结构)连接至滚动轮组。
假定电机的目标转速为V1,此时控制单元以占空比PWM1电机进行控制。若此时自动行走园艺设备受到外力F1(与自动行走园艺设备的移动方向相同)的作用,且仍以PWM1占空比进行控制,则导致电机的转速增加,相应地自动行走园艺设备的移动速度会逐渐增加。为维持电机的目标转速V1,这时可以以降低的占空比PWM2进行控制,并且随着外力的增大,相应地降低占空比,从而使得电机能维持目标转速V1。若外力继续增大,以致占空比为零时,电机仍能以V1转动。此时,若外力继续增大,则仅外力作用,占空比为零,电机也会以大于V1的速度V2进行转动。此时,在外力的作用下,移动组件会带动转子旋转,该转子组件上的永磁体旋转时切割定子组件的绕组在电机上产生感应电势(即,电机的转子组件的转动在电机上产生感应电动势);电机产生的电能存储至储能单元。
在一实施方式中,外力也可为重力,如自动行走园艺设备在斜面向下移动时。在一实施方式中,电机产生的电能通过能量供给电路存储至储能单元。能量供给电路其可通过布线配置在控制单元(控制单元的控制板),还可设置成导线的形式。自动行走园艺设备在正常移动,工作(如割草)时,由储能单元通过能量供给电路供给驱动电机能量。
在一实施方式中,驱动电机包含定子组件、位于所述定子组件内侧的转子组件,转子组件(通过减速结构)连接至移动件,外力推动设备快速移动或设备工作在下坡向下移动时,由于移动件(如,履带)的移动带动所述转子组件转动在电机上产生感应电势(即,电机的转子组件的转动电机上产生感应电动势);若该感应电势高于储能单元的电压时,电机产生的电能存储至储能单元。
在一实施方式中,电池包采用可插拔的方式安装于外壳主体的电池包安装槽,安装槽内配置有供电连接部,电池包连接至该供电连接部进而给向驱动电机及控制单元提供动力。
在一实施方式中,采用前轮驱动的方式或四轮驱动的方式。在一实施方式中,自动行走园艺设备采用后轮驱动的方式,底部的前部中央位置配置1个万向轮。
在一实施方式中,工具还包含有霍尔传感器,以检测工具在运行过程中会遇到各种障碍物或者意外的突发状况如,外部抬起,碰撞信号,等可能发生抬起、碰撞、翻倒等情况;当碰撞霍尔杆或者抬起霍尔杆在外力作用下发生形变或者位移时,霍尔传感器产生霍尔信号并送入控制单元的处理器的I/O端口,再由处理器作出处理。
在一实施方式中,工具还包含有设有倾斜传感器,以减少工具运行时还可能发生翻倒的情况,具体的,工具中包含一个硬件开关型倾斜传感器和一个三轴加速度传感器,当角度大十某一固定值时硬件开关型倾斜传感器输出一个高电平,由控制单元的处理器的I/O端口检测能识别割草机是否被翻倒,三轴加速度传感器则输出三轴方向的产生的感应电势拟量,根据该产生的感应电势拟量能够计算出割草机的俯仰角和翻滚角,从而实现系统保护。
在一实施方式中,工具的本体上还配置有显示产生的感应电势组(如,采用LCD液晶显示),以更好的人机交互,提高用户的参与感。
在一实施方式中,为了实现工具具有智能路径规划功能,其采用(D)GPS以及电予罗盘等模块实现定位导航。

本实施方式中自动行走园艺设备300,包含控制单元,其包含开关电路350,自举电路351,微控制器(图未示),微控制器发出的控制信号至晶体管321及晶体管322的触发端(基极端),经自举电路351后驱动开关电路350(这时,第一开关模块301的栅极端的电压高于其源极端的电压,第一开关模块302的栅极端的电压高于其源极端的电压),开关电路350输出端U1电性连接至驱动电机相应的驱动端。本实施方式中,晶体管321,晶体管322可为三极管,MOS开关。本实施方式中第一开关模块、第二开关模块为为N型MOS,在其它的实施方式中第一开关模块、第二开关模块还可为N型MOS或IGBT模块。控制器(图未示),以PWM的形式驱动自举电路进而驱动开关电路。驱动端Dr+的电压储能单元的正极端的电压一样,也可低于储能单元的正极端的电压(如,选用3V,5V,12V等)。在一实施方式中,该导线以导电层(如,铜箔)布线在控制板上。这样的设计,在下坡时或外力推动机器移动时,驱动电机产生的电力(反向电动势)通过该能量回收导线被输送至储能单元。这时驱动电机M的驱动端U1的电压高于第一开关模块漏极端的电压,驱动电机产生的电能经过二极管303流经能量供给电路至储能单元。储能单元,包含电池包(其内部配置有若干按一定规则电性连接的电芯)。本的实施方式中,还包含电容305,该电容305的一端电性连接所述储能单元的正极端,另一端电性接地,用以滤波及储存驱动电机产生的电力。这样的设计,自动行走园艺设备在下坡向下移动时,由转子组件转动驱动电机产生的电能被输送至储能单元,能抑制下坡时自动行走园艺设备的移动速度,减小快速移动引发的安全隐患。
图2,图3的实施方式中仅示出了驱动电机为单相的示意,若采用三相电机时,这时上述实施方式相当于三相电机中的某一相的驱动(采用2个开关模块的);另外两相的驱动拓扑与此相同,在此不再重复描述。

在一实施方式中,该控制方法包含如下步骤:
若驱动电机输出的功率为零时,检测出自动行走园艺设备的移动信息,驱动电机产生的感应电势高于储能单元的电压时,电机产生的电能存储至储能单元。
驱动电机输出的功率为零即驱动电路没有向驱动电机提供电能,如开关电路未被驱动,即认为驱动电路没有向驱动电机提供电能。本公开未对此作限定,只要能通过检测判断储能单位没有向驱动电机提供驱动电能即可。
储能单元可为电池包,超级电容。自动行走园艺设备的移动信息即移动速度信息通过速度传感器获得。

本公开还提供自动行走园艺设备的第二种实施例,具体地,如图4和5所示,自动行走园艺设备包括:壳体2,驱动电机(5,25(包括25a和25b)),移动组件4,控制单元40,以及储能单元。驱动电机(5,25)设置在壳体2内,包括定子和转子。定子包括定子铁芯和绕在定子铁芯上的绕组。本实施例中,驱动电机包括如图所示的驱动左驱动轮的左行走电机25b、驱动右驱动轮的右行走电机25a、以及驱动切割刀盘的工作电机5。在其他实施例中,驱动电机可以为仅包括一个同时驱动左右两个驱动轮的行走电机,或包括驱动工作部件的工作电机,工作部件如切割刀盘,清洁设备等。移动组件4包括左驱动轮4b,右驱动轮4a,以及万向轮4c,4d。移动组件4由驱动电机25驱动,从而带动自动行走园艺设备自动行走。控制单元40控制驱动电机(5,25)的运行,至少包括控制驱动电机(5,25)的转子在目标转速下运行。储能单元向驱动电机(5,25)和/或控制单元40提供电能。其中,当转子的实际转速高于目标转速时,转子旋转切割绕组产生感应电能,且感应电能转移至储能单元。
控制单元40基于目标转速,按照预设程序有规律地将储能单元的电能输送到驱动电机(5,25)的绕组,从而驱动转子以目标转速旋转。基于此控制过程,通常情况下,转子的实际速度与目标转速基本相同。但在例外情况下,转子的实际速度会大于目标转速。以下对几种例外情况进行介绍。
第一种情形如图6所示,自动行走园艺设备沿坡道向下移动。设定驱动电机的目标转速为V1,对应的自动行走设备的移动速度为V1’,坡道与水平面的倾斜角度为θ,自动行走园艺设备的质量为M,重力为G,自动行走园艺设备的移动方向为X,与X垂直的方向为Y。基于此,重力G沿X方向的分量Fx=G*sin(θ),重力G沿Y方向的分量Fy=G*cos(θ),即移动组件受到沿移动方向的外力大小为Fx=G*sin(θ)。根据物理学原理可知,当θ逐渐增大时,Fx逐渐增大,为维持驱动电机的目标转速V1,控制单元需降低占空比,以使驱动电机从储能单元获取的电能逐渐减少。当θ达到预设值θ1时,会出现Fx达到预设外力F1=M*V1’的情形。此时,控制单元将占空比降至为零,仅凭借F1的作用,也能维持驱动电机以目标转速V1运转,自动行走设备以V1’进行移动。当θ进一步增大,达到θ>θ1时,Fx>F1,即移动组件沿移动方向受到的外力大于预设外力。在外力Fx的作用下,自动行走设备的实际移动速度会进一步增大到V2’,V2’>V1’。此时驱动轮会带动转子以大于目标转速V1的速度进行转动,转子旋转切割绕组产生感应电能,且感应电能转移至储能单元。
第二种情形为,自动行走园艺设备在水平地面上受到人为的推力Fx,该推力Fx大于F1。由于F=M*V。此时,自动行走设备的实际移动速度V’>V1’。对应地,驱动轮会带动转子以大于目标转速V1的速度进行转动,转子旋转切割绕组产生感应电能,且感应电能转移至储能单元。
上述两种情形为:移动组件在移动方向上受到的外力大于预设外力,此时移动组件驱动转子以高于目标转速的速度旋转
第三种情形为,自动行走园艺设备需要停止行走或停止工作时,控制单元控制驱动电机刹车,以使驱动电机的目标速度为零,以停止驱动轮或切割刀盘。在惯性力作用下,驱动轮或切割刀盘继续旋转,带动转子继续旋转,使得所述转子的实际转速高于目标转速0,转子旋转切割绕组产生感应电能,且感应电能转移至储能单元。
本实施例中,可选地,自动行走园艺设备还包括传感器组件。传感器组件电性连接至控制单元。传感器组件检测自动行走园艺设备的环境信息并将检测的信息反馈至控制单元。控制单元基于传感器组件的检测信息控制驱动电机的运转,以实现自动行走园艺设备的转弯,前进,后退,停止行走,停止工作等动作。
可选的,本实施例中的控制单元同图2或图3所示的控制单元。在此不再赘述。
上述的实施例中,自动行走园艺设备可为具有自驱功能的割草机、清扫机等;在有的实施方式中割草机、清扫机,还具有避障功能,功能自主路径规划功能,其采用(D)GPS以及电予罗盘等模块实现定位导航,可应用于有边界线及无边界线的场合。
也就是说,可以将上述特征作任意的排列组合,并用于自动行走园艺设备的改进。
以上描述的实施方式仅表达了本公开的几种实施方式,由于文字表达得有限性,而在客观上存在无限的可能结构,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本公开原理的前提下,还可以作出若干改进和润饰,这些改进和润饰也应视为本公开的保护范围。因此,本公开专利的保护范围应以所附权利要求为准。
