本申请实施例涉及园林式电动工具,例如涉及一种自驱动设备系统和充电站。
通常,割草机等户外园艺类切割工具上都设置有用于推行的操作把手,操作把手上靠近握持部位设置有方便操作者操作控制的开关盒及控制机构。割草机依靠操作者施加于操作把手的推力于地面行进并进行切割操作,操作者操作这种推行式割草机的劳动强度非常大。随着人工智能的不断发展,能够自行走的自驱动设备也得到了发展。由于自驱动设备可以自动行走,执行预先设置的相关任务,无需人为的操作与干预,极大的节省了人力物力,为操作者带来方便。
自驱动设备的出现给用户带来了极大的便利,让用户可以从繁重的园艺护理劳动中解脱出来。目前自驱动设备系统还包括充电站和边界线,充电站置于地面,边界线和充电站连接,边界线和充电站连接,边界线围绕形成工作区域使自行走设备在工作区域内自动行走进行作业。但是,自驱动设备在工作过程中需要充电时,需要沿着边界线行走才能返回充电站进行充电,浪费了时间,也影响了工作效率。智能割草机可以应用传感技术、定位技术、边界识别技术、全区域覆盖路径规划技术、自主回充技术和店员技术等实现全自动的草坪修剪维护工作,无需人为直接控制和操作,大幅度减低人工成本,是一种适合家庭庭院和公共绿地等场所进行草坪修剪维护的工具。
智能割草机,通常采用边界线规定其工作区域,智能割草机工作时,仅在边界线界定的工作区域内工作。但是,由于存在多个智能割草机的边界线相邻的情况,智能割草机可以收到包括自身第一磁场信号和其他智能割草机的外界磁场信号的多组磁场信号,磁场信号由于发送长度和间隔时间不确定,智能割草机传感单元无法辨别自身第一磁场信号,进而导致智 能割草机对位置信息的判断会产生误差。例如,边界线内的智能割草机如果将相邻的外界磁场信号误识别为自身第一磁场信号,可以得到智能割草机在边界线外的错误信息。所以,亟需一种自驱动设备系统和充电站,减少磁场信号误判,得到更加准确的位置信息。

获取来自充电站的第一电流检测模块44检测的第一充电电流,即第二电流值Ib和来自第二电压检测模块的第一电压,此时第一电压的电压值为第一电压值Ub;
根据第一电流值Ia、第二电流值Ib、第一电压值Ua和第二电压值Ub计算第一电阻值Ra;
在第一电阻值Ra大于或等于第一预设阻值时,发送第三电流控制信号至充电控制模块以降低第一充电回路的第一充电电流。
其中,预设阻值的范围为:0.1Ω-0.5Ω。
可以理解的是,预设阻值可以包括第一值和第二值,第一值小于值。在一些实施例中,如果第一电阻值大于等于第一值且小于第二值,则充电站降低第一充电电流;如果第一电阻值大于等于第二值,则充电站停止输出电能,即降低第一充电电流至0。
由于充电站40通常设置于室外,极易受到风吹雨淋,其第二输出接口45内的第一供电端子452和第二供电端子453容易发生氧化而导致电阻增大。这样,智能割草机10通过计算第一电阻能够监控充电站的第一供电端子和第二供电端子,以及智能割草机的第一充电端子131和第二充电端子132的氧化程度,在监控到充电站40和/或智能割草机10的端子发生氧化时,充电站40能够及时降低第一充电回路的第一充电电流,防止第二输出接口45和充电接口对接后发热而发生危险,由此提高了充电站为智能割草机充电的安全性。
可以理解的是,第一电流检测模块44还可以设置在智能割草机10内,第一电流检测模块44只要能实现检测流经第一充电回路的第一充电电流的目的即可。

其中,第四预设阻值的范围为:0.1Ω-0.5Ω。
由于充电站通50常设置于室外,极易受到风吹雨淋,其第二输出接口55内的第一供电端子551和第二供电端子552,以及输入接口51内的输入正端子511和输入负端子512容易发生氧化而导致电阻增大。这样,智能割草机10通过计算第一电阻、第二电阻或第三电阻能够监控充电站的第一供电端子551、第二供电端子552,以及智能割草机10的第一充电端子131和第二充电端子132的氧化程度,还能够监控充电器的适配正端1011a、适配负端子1011b,以及充电站的输入正端子511和输入负端子512的氧化程度。在监控到充电器101、充电站50、智能割草机10其中一个的端子发生氧化时,充电站50能够及时降低第一充电回路的第一充电电流,防止第二输出接口55和充电接口13对接后发热而发生危险,由此提高了充电站为智能割草机10充电的安全性。
图7示出了作为另一种实施例的充电站60的电路框图。参考图7所示,图7所示实施例的充电站与图3所示实施例的充电站20不同的是,充电站60还包括:充电供电模块68,设置于输入接口61与第二输出接口64之间,用于将输入接口61接入的电能转换为第三交流电。其中,第三交流电的电压范围为20V~60V。
在一些实施例中,输入接口61接入直流电。示例性地,所述输入接口61与充电器电性连接,所述充电器用于将交流市电转换为直流电输出至输入接口61。其中,充电器包括交流电输入接口、交直流转换电路和直流电输出接口。具体地,交流电输入接口用于接入交流电,在一些实施例中,交流电输入接口连接电源插头,电源插头插入交流电插座以接入交流市电。交流电输入接口接入的交流电的取值范围为110V~130V或210V~230V。交流直流转换电路与交流电输入接口电性连接以将交流电转换为直流电;直流电输出接口与交直流转换电路电性连接以输出直流电。输入接口61和直流电输出接口电性连接以接入直流电至充电站。在另一些实施例中,输入接口61接入交流电。输入接口61被构造成交流电插头和与交流电插头电性连接的外围电路。其中,交流电插头插入交流电插座以接入交流市电,从而为充电站提供电能来源。输入接口61还可以被构造成其他的能够接入交流电的结构形式及外围电路,例如,交流电插头接入可移动的变电站等方式接入交流电。
图8示出了作为另一种实施例的充电站的电路框图。参考图8所示,充电供电模块68包括第一电压转换单元681,用于将输入接口61接入的直流电转换为第二交流电。
图9示出了作为另一种实施例的充电站60的电路框图。参考图9所示,充电站还包括第二电压转换单元。其中,第二电压转换单元682,用于将所述输入接口61接入的具有第四电 压值的第四交流电转换为直流电输出,其中,第三电压值小于第四电压值。在一些实施例中,第二电压转换单元682包括整流电路和滤波电容。整流电路用于将第四交流电转换为直流电输出。在一些具体的实施例中,整流电路包括一个整流桥;第一电压转换单元681,与所述第二输出接口64连接,用于将所述第二电压转换单元682输出的直流电转换为第三交流电。

当所述第三开关管Q3和第六开关管Q6同时导通时,电流经第三开关管Q3、与第二输出接口连接的智能割草机和第六开关管Q6共同形成回路;当所述第四开关管Q4和第五开关管Q5同时导通时,电流经第五开关管Q5、与第二输出接口连接的智能割草机和第四开关管Q4形成回路。这样,第三开关管Q3、第四开关管Q4、第五开关管Q5和第六开关管Q6通过改变各自的通断状态使直流电转换为第三交流电。第三开关管Q3、第四开关管Q4、第五开关管Q5和第六开关管Q6的栅极分别和充电站控制模块66连接,依据充电站控制模块66输出的控制信号以一定频率改变导通或关断状态,从而使第二输出接口64输出的电能转换为第三交流电。

这样,通过采用充电供电模块使第二输出接口输出第三交流电,使得通过第二输出接口的第一供电端子和第二供电端子的电流大小和方向不断变化,能够降低第一供电端子和第二 供电端子的氧化速度,从而延长了充电站的使用寿命,也提高了智能割草机系统的安全性。

底板72,安装在工作区域以固定所述智能割草机10。在一些实施例中,底板72的尺寸与智能割草机10的基本相同,用于在充电过程中保持智能割草机10。底板72所覆盖的区域限定了智能割草机10与充电站的对接区域。因此,底板72用于引导智能割草机10使其能够识别和接近充电站的位置。
充电站70还包括第一导线73和第二导线74。第一导线73和第二导线74分别围绕在所述底板72上。参考图13所示,第一导线73和第二导线74围绕形成多个区域。第一导线73围绕在所述底板72上形成第一导线区域,第二导线74围绕在底板72上形成第二导线区域,其中,第一导线区域和第二导线区域部分重合。定义第一引导线区域和第二引导线区域部分重合的区域为第一区域,则第一引导线区域包括第一区域和第二区域,第二引导线区域包括第一区域和第三区域,其中,第二区域与第三区域平行设置。在一些实施例中,第一引导线区域呈L型围绕在底板72上,第二引导线区域与所述第一引导线区域相对于所述底板72的中心线l1对称设置,其中,第一区域的宽度大于第二区域的宽度,且第一区域的宽度大于第三区域的宽度。第一导线73和第二导线74这样设置的目的主要是将智能割草机10引导至底板72内的对接区域的预设位置使智能割草机10与充电站70完成对接,即使得充电站70的第二输出接口71与智能割草机10的充电接口13对接。
充电站70还包括信号发生器75,用于分别与第一导线73和第二导线74连接以输出导引信号至第一导线73和/或第二导线74,导引信号流经第一导线73和第二导线74时产生磁场。第一导线73独立于边界线与信号发生器连接;第二导线74独立于第一导线73和边界线与信号发生器连接。具体地,信号发生器包括第一信号接口751和第二信号接口752,第一信号接口751和第二信号接口752独立于所述第一输出接口22(62)。其中,第一信号接口751与第一导线73连接,用于输出第一引导信号,第一引导信号流经第一导线73时产生第一磁场;第二信号接口752与第二导线74连接,用于输出第二引导信号,第二引导信号流经第二导线74时产生第二磁场。可以理解,导引信号为电流信号。在一些实施例中,第一引导信号和第二引导信号交替输出。
这样,由于导线内外的磁场方向不同,第一导线73和第二导线74围绕形成的多个区域内的磁场信号不同。因此,第一导线73和第二导线74围绕形成的多个区域内至少包括具有第一磁场信号的第一区域,具有第二磁场信号的第二区域以及具有第三磁场信号的第三区域。具体而言,第一磁场信号包括具有第一方向的第一磁场和第一方向的第二磁场;第二磁场信号包括具有第一方向的第一磁场和第二方向的第二磁场;第三磁场包括具有第二方向的第一磁场和第一方向的第二磁场。在一些实施例中,第一导线73和第二导线74围绕形成的多个区域还包括第四区域,其具有第四磁场信号,第四磁场信号包括具有第二方向的第一磁场和第二方向的第二磁场。由于导线内外磁场方向和导线上的电流方向有关,以如图13所示加载在第一导线73和第二导线74的电流方向为例进行说明。在本实施例中,第一区域具有第一磁场信号,第一磁场信号包括具有垂直向上方向的第一磁场和垂直向上方向的第二磁场;第二区域具有第二磁场信号,第二磁场信号包括具有垂直向上方向的第一磁场和垂直向下方向的第二磁场;第三区域具有第三磁场信号,第三磁场信号包括具有垂直向下方向的第一磁场和垂直向下方向的第二磁场;第四区域具有第四磁场信号,第四磁场信号包括具有垂直向下方向的第一磁场和垂直向下方向的第二磁场。
图14至图15所示的智能割草机10,其包括多个传感器和割草机控制模块15,多个传感器用于感应第一导线73和第二导线74围绕形成的多个区域的磁场信号。传感器为磁传感器,作为一种具体的实施方式,传感器为霍尔传感器。为了方便描述,图14中所示的方向分别被定义为充电站的前后方向和左右方向。
具体地,智能割草机10至少包括第一传感器102a和第二传感器102b。第一传感器102a设置在靠近左行走轮,第二传感器102b设置在靠近右行走轮。割草机控制模块15被配置为:当智能割草机10以一路线移动时,判断第一传感器102a位于第一区域,且第二传感器102b位于第一区域时,判断智能割草机10位于第一预设位置,控制行走轮继续以该路线行进。
在一些实施例中,智能割草机10还包括第三传感器102c,所述第三传感器102c设置在靠近智能割草机壳体11的后侧。割草机控制模块15被配置为:当自驱动设备以一路线移动,判断第一传感器102a位于第二区域,第二传感器102b位于第三区域,第三传感器102c位于第一区域时,判断智能割草机10位于第二预设位置并发送停止信号至行走电机以使智能割草机10停止前进。
在一些实施例中,智能割草机10还包括第三传感器102c和第四传感器102d。第三传感器102c和第四传感器102d设置在靠近壳体的后侧,且二者关于智能割草机10壳体的中心线l2对称分布。割草机控制模块15被配置为:割草机控制模块15被配置为:第一传感器102a 位于第二区域,第二传感器102b位于第三区域,第三传感器102c位于第一区域,第四传感器102d位于第一区域时,判断智能割草机10位于第二预设位置并发送停止信号至行走电机以使智能割草机10停止前进。
通过智能割草机10设置多个传感器,使得割草机控制模块15判断智能割草机10相对于底板72的位置更加准确,防止误判。
参考图16来说明充电站70引导智能割草机10充电的功能。当智能割草机10需要充电时,充电站70发送导引信号至第一导线73和第二导线74,导引信号流经导线产生磁场,智能割草机10上的多个传感器检测磁场的强度,割草机割草机控制模块15使智能割草机10朝着更高磁场强度的方向移动。
当智能割草机10以一路线进入底板72,割草机控制模块15根据多个传感器的所在的区域判断所述智能割草机10是否位于预设位置,如果其位于第一预设位置,控制智能割草机10继续以该路线行进,否则控制智能割草机10调整路线前进。
具体的,割草机控制模块15被配置为执行以下操作:接收来自多个传感器的位置信号,获取多个传感器的位置,即获取各个传感器所在的区域;根据各个传感器所在的区域判断智能割草机10是否位于预设位置。进一步,割草机控制模块15还被配置为执行以下操作:根据各个传感器所在的区域判断智能割草机10与底板72的位置关系,依据智能割草机10与底板72的位置关系调整智能割草机10前进路线。后文将结合附图对上述智能割草机10的控制过程进行详细描述。
图17显示了智能割草机10进入底板72可能运动路线中的一种,此时割草机控制模块15识别出第一传感器102a位于第二区域,第二传感器102b位于第一区域,第三传感器102c位于第一区域,则割草机控制模块15判断此时智能割草机10的位置与第一预设位置不符。割草机控制模块15进一步依据第一传感器102a位于第二区域,第二传感器102b位于第一区域,第三传感器102c位于第一区域判断智能割草机10在底板72偏左的方向进入底板72,从而控制智能割草机10向后退出第一导线73和所述第二导线74围绕形成的多个区域,并控制智能割草机10向右侧移动一段距离后驶入底板72。割草机控制模块15通过不断的调整智能割草机10进入底板72的路线直至智能割草机10到达预设位置。
在一些实施例中,当智能割草机10实质上以一路线进入底板72,割草机控制模块15识别出第一传感器102a位于第一区域,且第二传感器102b位于第二区域,判断此时智能割草机10的位置与第一预设位置相符,控制智能割草机10继续以该路线行进;割草机控制模块15进一步识别是否位于第二预设位置,如果是,则控制智能割草机10停止前进,否则控制 智能割草机10调整路线前进。
参考图18所示,一种如前所述的智能割草机10的控制方法,包括如下步骤:
S1.获取多个传感器的位置;
在此步骤中,智能割草机10以一路线进入底板72,割草机控制模块15接收来自多个传感器的位置信号,获取多个传感器的位置,即获取各个传感器所在的区域。
S2.判断智能割草机10是否位于第一预设位置;
在此步骤中,割草机控制模块15根据各个传感器所在的区域判断智能割草机10是否位于第一预设位置。若否则执行S3,若是则执行S5。
S3.判断智能割草机10与底板72的位置关系;
在此步骤中,割草机控制模块15根据各个传感器所在的区域判断智能割草机10与底板72的位置关系。例如,在图16所示的实施例中,割草机控制模块15进一步依据第一传感器102a位于第二区域,第二传感器102b位于第一区域,第三传感器102c位于第一区域判断智能割草机10在底板72偏左的方向进入底板72。
S4.调整智能割草机10前进路线;
在此步骤中,割草机控制模块15依据智能割草机10与底板72的位置关系调整智能割草机10前进路线。例如,在图17所示的实施例中,割草机控制模块15判断智能割草机10在底板72偏左的方向进入底板72,从而控制智能割草机10向后退出第一导线73和所述第二导线74围绕形成的多个区域,并控制智能割草机10向右侧移动一段距离后驶入底板72。割草机控制模块15进一步通过不断的调整智能割草机10进入底板72的路线直至智能割草机10到达预设位置。
S5.控制智能割草机10进一步以该路线行进;
S6.判断智能割草机10是否位于第二预设位置;
在此步骤中,割草机控制模块15根据各个传感器所在的区域判断智能割草机10是否位于第二预设位置。若否则执行S7,若是则执行S4。
S7.控制智能割草机10停止前进。
这样,通过设置底板引导智能割草机10使其能够识别和接近充电站的位置,能够提高智能割草机返回充电站进行充电的效率以及提高充电对接的可靠性。
图19所示的作为一种实施例的充电站80的电路框图,充电站80还包括端子电压检测单元85,与充电站控制模块84连接,用于检测第一供电端子821的电压值。充电站控制模块84用于监控第一供电端子821的电压值,当第一供电端子821的电压为预设电压值且多个传 感器位于预设位置时,判断所述智能割草机10的充电接口13与充电站80的第二输出接口82对接成功,使第二输出接口71输出电能为智能割草机10充电。
辅助供电模块83连接在输入接口81和第二输出接口82之间,用于将提供的电能转换为其他电能提供给第二输出接口82。具体的,辅助供电模块将外部电源提供的电能转换为一电压值提供给第一供电端子821,例如,辅助供电模块将26V电压转换为3.3V电压值加载在第一供电端子821上。
端子电压检测单元85检测第一供电端子821的电压值。当第二输出接口82与智能割草机10的充电接口13对接后,第一供电端子821的电压降低至第一电压值,端子电压检测单元85将包含第一供电端子821的电压值的电压信号发送至充电站控制模块84。充电站控制模块84被配置为:在所述第一电压值为预设电压值且智能割草机10的多个传感器位于预设位置时,发送供电信号至充电供电模块83以控制充电接口13和第二输出接口82间的连接导通,从而使第二输出接口82输出电能为智能割草机10充电。
这样,通过设置端子电压检测单元检测第一供电端子的电压值,提高了充电对接的可靠性。
至少两个如图20所示的自驱动设备系统可以共同工作,该自驱动设备包括:边界线110,用于规划所述自驱动设备120的工作区域;自驱动设备120,在工作区域内自动行走以进行作业;充电站130,与边界线110电性连接,用于产生编码边界信号并将编码边界信号发送给边界线110;编码边界信号流经边界线110,产生第一磁场信号;充电站130包括:信号发射器,用于以预设编码协议编码生成编码边界信号;自驱动设备120,接收外界磁场信号,并以预设解码方式获取解码边界信号;在解码边界信号与编码边界信号匹配时,确定自驱动设备120接收到的外界磁场信号为编码边界信号流经边界线110时生成的第一磁场信号。
其中,边界线110为一条闭合的导线,边界线110的两端可以分别连接充电站130的正极和负极。边界线110围绕形成的区域为自驱动设备120的工作区域。
另外,自驱动设备120可以包括至少一个轮胎使得自驱动设备120能够在草坪上行走,自驱动设备120上还设置有接收传感器,可以接收传感区域内的第一磁场信号转换为相应的电信号。接收传感器还可以包括谐振LC选频电路,LC选频电路可以将第一磁场信号转换为电压信号。
自驱动设备120可以为智能割草机,还可以为扫雪机等园林式电动工具,在此并没有限制。
如图21所示,三个自驱动设备系统共同工作时,其中一个自驱动设备的接收传感器可以 接收到至少三个磁场信号的示意图,如图21所示,包括三个自驱动设备系统,进而包括三个充电站130、三个边界线110和三个自驱动设备120,三个自驱动设备120分别可以接收到至少三个充电站130发出的磁场信号。由于存在不同自驱动设备边界线相邻的情况,一台自驱动设备能收到其他外界磁场信号,从而对当前位置判断会造成干扰。接收传感器无法判别哪个磁场信号为自身自驱动设备系统形成的第一磁场信号,至少三个磁场信号可能解析出至少三种当前位置,可能造成对自驱动设备当前位置的误判。比如说,边界线110内的自驱动设备120如果将相邻的自驱动设备系统的磁场信号误识别为自己的,这样就会得到一个在边界线外的错误信息。所以必须能正确识别哪些磁场信号是自己所在自驱动设备系统的边界线发出的,避免产生误判。
编码边界信号在边界线中传输,可以形成电磁场,进而产生第一磁场信号。根据上述第一磁场信号转换得到的电压信号,也可以为编码后的电压信号,所以需要解码后才能根据电压信号确定自驱动设备的当前位置。
自驱动设备120的工作区域可能存在多种磁场信号,例如,可以包括相邻自驱动设备的磁场信号或者当前环境中的其他外界磁场信号。自驱动设备120可以获取到其传感区域内的所有磁场信号,但是只有根据当前设备对应的第一磁场信号才能确定自驱动设备120的位置信息。
若自驱动设备120接收到的磁场信号包括其他外界磁场信号,其他外界磁场信号可以包括其他编码方式,所以不能进行解码或解码边界信号与编码边界信号不匹配,不会造成多个外界磁场信号转换得到多个电压信号,进而造成对自驱动设备的当前位置的误判。
解码方式与编码边界信号相互对应,解码边界信号和编码边界信号相互匹配,编码协议可以预先进行设定。
