参见图1或图12本发明实施例中自动工作系统的一种应用场景示意图,自 动工作系统100包括:自移动设备101、自移动设备101在由边界107限定的工作区域105内行驶。该边界可以是实体的也可以是电子的,实体的边界可以是由草与非草的边界、障碍物或水池花坛等形成的,电子的边界可以是由电缆铺设形成的。当为实体边界时,自移动设备可以通过安装在其上的导航机构生成工作区域的地图,并基于该地图在工作区域内自动行驶和/或工作。该自动工作系统中还可以包括:停靠站103,该停靠站可以用于供自移动设备充电和/或停靠,即,停靠站可以作为基站供自移动设备充电使用,也可以只是自移动设备的一个临时停靠点。
该系统100还可以包括:门控设备102,用于在自移动设备101行驶的过程中,确定自移动设备101的行驶状态,并在行驶状态为目标行驶状态时,对门104进行目标控制;其中,目标行驶状态指示自移动设备101向门所在的位置处行驶,或者,指示自移动设备101驶离门所在的位置处。进一步的,在本申请的实施例中,当自移动设备满足预设回归条件时,可以向门所在的位置处行驶。
具体的,行驶状态为指示自移动设备向门所在的位置处行驶时,门控设备对门进行开启控制,行驶状态为指示自移动设备驶离门所在的位置处时,门控设备对门进行关闭控制。
在本申请的一个实施例中,门控设备可以控制门的开启距离,以便于自移动设备能够方便的驶入门内。具体的,可以是控制门开启至自移动设备101的主体宽度。当然,门开启的空间也可以大于自移动设101的主体宽度,本申请对此不作限定。进一步的,门控制器也可以控制所述门的开启时间,从而当自移动设备驶入门内时,门控制器可以控制门自动关闭,对门的开启距离或开启时间进行控制,可以减少小动物等进入门内的概率。
本实施例中,门控设备102包括探测模块1021,探测模块1021用于探测目标对象,并获取与目标对象相关联的数据;门控设备102根据与目标对象相关联的数据,确定自移动设备101的行驶状态。
一实施例中,与目标对象相关联的数据包括是否探测到目标对象,探测模块1021探测到目标对象时,门控设备102确定自移动设备101的行驶状态为向门所在的位置处行驶,探测模块探测不到目标对象时,门控设备102确定自移动设备101的行驶状态为驶离门所在的位置。
一实施例中,与目标对象相关联的数据包括与目标对象的距离,探测模块1021探测到目标对象在预设距离内时,门控设备102确定自移动设备的行驶状态为向门所在的位置处行驶,探测模块1021探测到目标对象不在预设距离内时,门控设备102确定自移动设备101的行驶状态为驶离门所在的位置。
本实施例中,门控设备102还包括门控制器1023,根据与目标对象相关联的数据,确定自移动设备101的行驶状态。门控制器1023还可以包括电机控制器,通过控制电机来控制门的开启或关闭。
可以理解的是,探测模块1021与门控制器1023可以设置在一起,也可以分离设置,可以共同设置在自移动设备101上,或共同设置在门上,或自移动设备101的工作环境中,也可以分别设置在自移动设备101、门、自移动设备101的工作环境中的一者上。探测模块1021/门控制器1023可以与自移动设备101或门无线连接或有线连接,例如通过无线通信模块实现无线连接,或通过电性连接实现有线连接。
可以理解的是,门控设备102可以作为自移动设备101的一部分,设置在自移动设备101的主体上;也可以独立于自移动设备101;也可以部分设置在自移动设备101的主体上,例如,一实施例中,探测模块1021设置在自移动设备101的主体上,门控制器1023设置在门上,探测模块1021与门控制器1023之间无线通信连接。
可以理解的是,探测模块1021传输给门控制器1023的数据,可以是对目标对象的感测数据,也可以是将感测数据与预设条件比较后生成的控制指令,也就是说,对探测模块1021探测到的数据进行处理的过程可以发生在探测模块1021中,也可以发生在门控制器1023中,或者部分发生在探测模块1021中, 部分发生在门控制器1023中。当然,也可以由自移动设备101的控制模块完成部分或全部处理过程。探测模块1021也可以包含独立的控制装置。
可选地,一些实施例中,参见图2,门控设备102还包括信号产生模块1022,用于在自移动设备101行驶的过程中,发射待探测信号;探测模块1021,用于实时地探测待探测信号,并在探测到待探测信号时,触发将探测到的持续的待探测信号发送至门控制器1023;门控制器1023,用于对持续的待探测信号进行分析处理,并根据分析处理得到的结果确定自移动设备101的行驶状态。图2所示的实施例中,探测模块1021设置在门上,信号产生模块1022设置在自移动设备101上。
如上,门控设备的实现形式还包括多种,不再赘述。
自移动设备101可以是自动割草机,或者自动吸尘器等,它们自动行驶于工作区域的地面或者表面上,进行割草或者吸尘工作,当然,自移动设备101不限于自动割草机和自动吸尘器,也可以为其它设备,如喷洒设备,监视设备等适合无人值守的设备。在本申请以下的实施例中以自移动设备为自动割草机为例进行说明。
图3为本发明一实施例的自动割草机的结构示意图,如图3所示,自动割草机30包括本体301,移动模块302,工作模块303和控制模块304。移动模块302、工作模块303和控制模块304安装于本体,控制模块304控制移动模块302带动自动割草机移动,并控制工作模块303执行工作任务。移动模块302可以包括轮组、履带等,由驱动马达驱动以带动自动割草机移动。工作模块303包括刀盘,由切割马达驱动旋转以割草。自动割草机30还可以包括若干传感器,用于检测工作区域的边界或工作区域内的障碍物等。
如图4为本发明实施例中自动工作系统的一种应用场景示意图,其中,工作区域具有边界41,在该应用场景中以电子边界为例进行说明,自动割草机42通过感应该实体边界所产生的磁场判断边界的位置,自动割草机42能够在该边界限定的区域内行驶。当然,工作区域中也可以不存在边界,割草机可以通过 安装在其上的导航机构生成工作区域的地图,并基于该地图自动行驶和工作,行驶过程中实现自动过门的方法和本申请其他实施例中所描述的自动过门的方法类似,在此不再赘述。
参见图5,图5为本发明实施例中自动工作系统的另一种应用场景示意图,和图4类似,自动割草机51可以在工作区域内行驶。
探测模块探测的目标对象,可以是自动割草机或门本身,例如可以根据自动割草机或门的形状特征来识别自动割草机或门。目标对象也可以是设置在自动割草机或门上的标记物,例如二维码或具备某特征的标识等。目标对象还可以设置在自动割草机的工作环境中,例如设置在门所在位置的附近,可以是设置在地面的磁钉或磁环等。
参图4和图5,一实施例中,在靠近门的位置沿自动割草机的预设路径设置磁性物,自动割草机可以是沿边界移动,也可以不沿边界在工作区域内移动,也就是说,预设路径包括工作区域的边界,也包括工作区域内的其他预设路径。探测模块包括磁检测传感器,具体的,包括霍尔传感器。当自动割草机沿预设路径向门所在的位置行驶时,自动割草机上的霍尔传感器检测到前院的磁性物,控制模块判断自动割草机靠近门所在位置,向电机控制器发送信号,电机控制器基于接收到的信号控制门打开。当自动割草机沿预设路径驶离门所在的位置时,自动割草机上的霍尔传感器检测到后院的磁性物,控制模块判断自动割草机远离门所在位置,向电机控制器发送信号,电机控制器基于接收到的信号控制门关闭。
一实施例中,探测模块包括图像采集装置,用于捕获图像。当图像采集装置设置在自动割草机上时,目标对象可以为设置在门上或门所在位置附近的标识。当图像采集装置捕获到含有该标识的图像时,控制模块判断自动割草机向门所在位置处行驶,向电机控制器发送信号,电机控制器基于接收到的信号控制门打开。门控设备可以在门打开预设时间后控制门关闭,或者同样通过判断捕获的图像来控制门关闭。当然,图像采集装置也可以设置在门上或门所在位 置附近,目标对象可以为自动割草机本身或其上的标记物。
一实施例中,探测模块包括超声波传感器,具体的,包括超声波发射器和接收器。超声波发射器发出超声波信号,超声波接收器接收经目标对象反射回的超声波信号,由此计算与目标对象的距离。门控设备判断超声波传感器与目标对象的距离是否在预设距离内,若在预设距离内,则判断自动割草机靠近门所在位置,从而控制门打开。探测模块还可以是激光测距传感器等等,实现方式类似。
一实施例中,探测模块包括激光扫描器,目标对象包括激光发射板。例如,激光扫描器设置在自移动设备上,激光反射板设置在门上或门所在位置附近,激光反射板能够反射激光扫描器发出的信号,当激光扫描器接收到反射的信号时,控制模块判断自动割草机向门所在位置处行驶。
再次参考图2,一些实施例中,门控设备包括信号产生模块,目标对象包括待探测信号。探测模块1021可以为:激光测距传感器,在探测模块1021为激光测距传感器时,相对应地,信号产生模块1022产生激光信号,其中,激光测距传感器用于实时地探测激光信号,激光测距传感器探测到激光信号时,门控设备判断自移动设备向门所在的位置处行驶;或者,探测模块1021可以为:超声波传感器,在探测模块1021为超声波传感器时,相对应地,信号产生模块1022产生超声波信号,其中,超声波传感器用于实时地探测超声波信号,超声波传感器探测到超声波信号时,门控设备判断自移动设备向门所在的位置处行驶;等等。
参考图6和图7,图6中的工作区域包括前院和后院,工作区域中包括边界线61、在边界线61上可以设置磁铁或者磁环62,在门35两侧连接设置有篱笆和墙63,自动工作系统包括:自动割草机31、探测模块32、信号产生模块33,以及门控制器34,如图7所示,以探测模块32设置在门35上,信号产生模块33设置在自移动设备31上进行示例,探测模块32的数量可以为多个,各探测模块32可以分别设置在门35边框的角上,以及,信号产生模块33的数量 也可以为多个,各信号产生模块33分别设置在自移动设备31上,如此,通过设置多个探测模块32以及多个信号产生模块33,将采用多种探测方法相结合来实现门控,可以有效提升信号探测的精准度。
本发明实施例在具体执行的过程中,可以根据实际使用需求将探测模块1021配置为合适的传感器,提升系统100应用场景的灵活性,满足个性化的使用需求。
通过上述在行驶状态为指示自移动设备101向门所在的位置处行驶时,对门进行开启控制;或者,在行驶状态为指示自移动设备101驶离门所在的位置处时,对门进行关闭控制,能够有效实现对自移动设备101进行智能化的过门控制。
另一实施例中,也可以配置为,在行驶状态为指示自移动设备101向门所在的位置处行驶时,对门进行关闭控制;或者,在行驶状态为指示自移动设备101驶离门所在的位置处时,对门进行开启控制,通过该种配置方式,能够满足另外一种应用场景的需求,例如,自移动设备101在工作区域内行走的过程中,避免其过门的应用场景,对此不作限制。
如图12所示,在本发明实施例自动工作系统的一种应用场景中,在该应用场景中,自移动设备101通过导航在边界107所限定的工作区域105内行驶。当自移动设备满足预设回归条件时,向门所在的位置处行驶。停靠站103设置于密闭空间106内,该密闭空间106上设置有门104。当门上所安装的门控设备102检测到自移动设备向门锁着位置行驶时,控制门开启,则自移动设备101可以通过门104进入该密闭空间。该密闭空间可以是车库等,该停靠站可以是基站或临时停靠点,当停靠站作为临时停靠点时,可以是车库中的任意位置,本申请不作限定。当发现外面下雨时,自移动设备可以沿着边界或者根据地图中车库门的位置向门所在位置处行驶,当门控设备识别到自移动设备驶向门所在位置的目标状态时则控制门打开,从而自移动设备可以驶入门,在其驶入门之后,自移动设备可以在车库内中的任一位置临时停靠,等雨停后再出去工作。 或者晚上用户可以控制自移动设备停靠在车库内避免被盗走。或者,当自移动设备电量不足时,自移动设备可以沿着边界或者根据地图中车库门的位置向向门所在的位置处行驶,驶入门之后,在车库内寻找基站,并进行对接充电。
在本发明实施例自动工作系统的另一种应用场景中,如图4-7中所示,工作区域中存在门,门将工作区域分为两个部分,包括:第一工作区域以及第二工作区域,即为图6或图7中的前院以及后院。此时,基站也可以设置于第一工作区域或者第二工作区域中的任一位置处,当自移动设备电量不足时,若自移动设备和基站位于同一工作区域时,自移动设备可以沿着边界或者根据地图直接驶向基站所在位置,并进行对接充电;当位于不同工作区域时,自移动设备可以进入另一区域中工作,在门控设备识别到自移动设备驶向门所在位置的目标状态时则控制门打开,自移动设备驶入门后,行驶至基站对接充电。
在本申请的一个实施例中,自移动设备可以基于用户自定义和/或系统中预先设置的指令向另外一个区域行驶。以割草机为例,在割草机的工作过程中,用户可以通过手机中的割草app或者直接在割草机主体界面中输入相关指令,控制割草机在工作区域中的工作;也可以仅仅基于自移动设备出厂时系统预先设置的指令控制割草机在工作区域中的工作。在如图4所示的应用场景中,当存在两个工作区域时,可以通过割草app设置其分别在两个工作区域中的工作时间,在第一工作区域中设置工作2h,在第二工作区域中设置工作5h。当割草机在第一工作区域中的工作时间达到2h时,割草机可以沿着边界或者根据地图进入第二区域中工作,在门控设备识别到自移动设备驶向门所在位置的目标状态时则控制门打开,割草机驶入门后到达第二工作区域,并继续在第二工作区域中的工作,直到工作时间达到5h。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,当自移动设备完成第一工作区域和/或第二工作区域中的工作时,自移动设备向门所在的位置处行驶。在一个应用场景中,以割草机为例,存在两个工作区域时,当割草机完成第一工作区域中的割草工作时,割草机可以进入第二区域中工作,在门控设备识别到自移动设备驶向门 所在位置的目标状态时则控制门打开,从而割草机可以进入门并到达第二工作区域。当割草机完成第二工作区域中工作时的处理方式和上述方法类似,本申请对此不再赘述。
在本申请的另一个实施例中,自动工作系统中还可以包括:人体检测模块,当检测到当前工作区域中存在人体时,控制自移动设备沿着边界或者根据地图离开当前工作区域,当门控设备识别到自移动设备驶向门所在位置的目标状态时则控制门打开,从而自移动设备可以驶入门,进入另一工作区域或车库等密闭空间内,以避免自移动设备工作时伤害到工作区域中的小朋友或用户。该人体检测模块门控可以类似于上面实施例中所提及的探测模块,该探测模块可以用于检测人体,例如:图像采集装置或光学传感器(如红外传感器等)。和上面实施例中类似,探测模块可以安装于门控设备,也可以安装于自移动设备,本申请对此不作限定。
参考图8-10,图8为本发明一实施例中门的控制方式示意图,图9为本发明另一实施例中门的控制方式示意图,图10为本发明另一实施例中门的控制方式示意图,门的打开/关闭方式包括多种,可以由电机直接驱动,或通过传动机构间接驱动。一实施例中,包括电动推开门,由电机直接或者间接控制门绕一根主轴转动实现门开和关。一实施例中,包括电动卷帘门,由电机直接或者间接控制门卷起和放下。一实施例中,包括电动移动门,由电机直接或者间接控制门横移动作实现门开和关。
一实施例中,门被控制打开后,自移动设备利用陀螺仪技术连续控制门的运行方向以及门的开启程度。
本实施例中,通过在自移动设备行驶的过程中,确定自移动设备的行驶状态,并在行驶状态为目标行驶状态时,对门进行目标控制;其中,目标行驶状态指示自移动设备向门所在的位置处行驶,或者,指示自移动设备驶离门所在的位置处,能够有效实现对自移动设备进行智能化的过门控制,使得自移动设备的应用满足更丰富的场景需求。
图11是本发明一实施例提出的自动工作系统的控制方法的流程示意图。
自动工作系统包括自移动设备,在工作区域内行驶。
参见图11,该方法包括:
S111:探测目标对象,并获取与目标对象相关联的数据。
S112:根据与目标对象相关联的数据,确定自移动设备的目标行驶状态。
S113:根据自移动设备的目标行驶状态,对门进行目标控制,其中,目标行驶状态指示自移动设备向门所在的位置处行驶,或者,指示自移动设备驶离门所在的位置处。
需要说明的是,前述图1-图10实施例中对自动工作系统实施例的解释说明也适用于该实施例的自动工作系统的控制方法,其实现原理类似,此处不再赘述。
本实施例中,通过探测目标对象,并获取与目标对象相关联的数据;根据与目标对象相关联的数据,确定自移动设备的目标行驶状态;根据自移动设备的目标行驶状态,对门进行目标控制;其中,目标行驶状态指示自移动设备向门所在的位置处行驶,或者,指示自移动设备驶离门所在的位置处,能够有效实现对自移动设备进行智能化的过门控制,使得自移动设备的应用满足更丰富的场景需求。
