本申请的有益效果至少包括:充电设备包括:壳体;设置在壳体中的第一信号发射器和第二信号发射器;第一信号发射器用于发射第一无线信号;第二信号发射器用于发射第二无线信号;以供自移动设备基于第一无线信号和/或第二无线信号确定充电设备的位置;其中,第二无线信号的传输距离小于第一无线信号的传输距离,且使用第二无线信号进行无线定位的定位精度大于使用第一无线信号进行无线定位的定位精度;自移动设备包括:第一信号接收器,用于接收第一无线信号;第二 信号接收器,用于接收第二无线信号;与第一信号接收器和第二信号接收器分别相连的处理器,用于响应于对自移动设备进行充电的指令,基于第一无线信号和/或第二无线信号,确定充电设备的位置信息;控制自移动设备根据位置信息移动至充电设备进行充电;可以解决现有的自移动设备回充方法由于红外发射器的发射角度受限,自移动设备识别充电设备的位置时具有信号盲区;为了保证自移动设备能实现回充,自移动设备通常被禁止进入信号盲区,而导致的自移动设备存在工作盲区的问题;由于第一信号发射器和第二信号发射器对发射角度均无限制,所以自移动设备识别充电设备的位置时不具有信号盲区,所以可以扩大自移动设备的工作范围。
同时,由于充电设备设置有第一信号发射器和第二信号发射器,自移动设备设置有第一信号接收器和第二信号接收器,自移动设备可以根据第一无线信号和/或第二无线信号确定充电设备的位置,由于第二无线信号的传输距离小于第一无线信号的传输距离,而使用第二无线信号定位的精度大于使用第一无线信号定位的精度,因而第一无线信号可以保证自移动设备在第二无线信号的发射范围外能接收到充电设备发射的第一无线信号从而判断充电设备的位置,同时第二无线信号可以保证自移动设备能够根据接收到的第二无线信号精确判断充电设备的位置,最终实现回充,所以可以提高自移动设备的回充效率。
另外,由于不用使用红外发射器,可以解决现有的自移动设备回充方法由于红外发射器的发射角度受限,为了保证红外发射器能够向远处发射红外信号,红外发射器在充电座的安装位置通常较高,会导致充电设备的设备壳体的厚度较厚,占用空间较大的问题;由于充电设备无需安装红外发射器即可实现自移动设备的对充电设备的定位,且信号发射器对安装高度没有要求,所以本申请中充电设备壳体的厚度较薄,便于充电设备的部署。
另外,通过在自移动设备与充电设备之间的距离大于距离阈值的情况下,基于第一无线信号确定充电设备的位置信息;在自移动设备与充电设备之间的距离小于或等于距离阈值的情况下,基于第二无线信号确 定充电设备的位置信息;且第二无线信号的传输距离小于第一无线信号的传输距离,使用第二无线信号进行无线定位的定位精度大于使用第一无线信号进行无线定位的定位精度,所以可以根据自移动设备与充电设备之间的距离选择最佳的定位方案,可以提高回充效率。
另外,由于充电设备的第一信号发射器和第二信号发射器在预设时间段内均发射无线信号,自移动设备可以根据当前与充电设备的距离选择基于第一无线信号或第二无线信号确定充电设备的位置,可以解决在充电设备同一时刻只发射一种信号时,需要进行信号切换的问题,可以提高回充效率。
另外,由于充电设备同一时刻只发射一种无线信号,自移动设备同一时刻也只接收有一种无线信号,可以解决充电设备需要同时接收第一无线信号和第二无线信号导致自移动设备的电量消耗大的问题,自移动设备不需要同时接收第一无线信号和第二无线信号,所以可以减少自移动设备和充电设备的电量消耗。
另外,由于自移动设备能获取自移动设备与充电设备之间的距离,并在距离由小于或等于距离阈值变化为大于距离阈值的情况下,基于通信连接向充电设备发送第一发射指令,在距离由大于距离阈值变化为小于或等于距离阈值的情况下,基于通信连接向充电设备发送第二发射指令;可以实现在充电设备只发射一种无线信号时,充电设备发射的无线信号和自移动设备当前定位所需的无线信号的一致的,避免了因充电设备发射的无线信号与自移动设备当前定位所需的无线信号不一致而导致的定位精度差或无法定位的问题所以可以提高自移动设备的回充效率,同时也降低了自移动设备和充电设备的电量消耗。
另外,由于充电设备的第二信号接收器为至少两个,所以自移动设备可以基于至少两个第二信号接收器同一时刻分别接收到的第二无线信号的强度确定所述充电设备相对于所述自移动设备的方向和距离,可以解决需要多个采样点的数据才能定位充电设备位置的问题,提高了自移动设备的回充效率。
另外,由于第二无线信号携带第二无线信号的发射时间,所以,可 以基于第二无线信号的接收时间和第二无线信号的发射时间计算自移动设备与充电设备之间的距离,可以解决利用无线信号强度计算距离时准确度不高的问题,可以提高距离计算的准确性,从而提高确定出的充电设备位置的准确性。
另外,由于充电设备还包括位于所述壳体内的磁感发射线圈;自移动设备还包括与处理器相连的磁感接收线圈,磁感接收线圈,用于将接收到的磁能转换为电能,以供所述自移动设备充电;可以解决充电设备与自移动设备通过充电弹片进行充电而导致的充电设备体积大部署不方便的问题,同时也解决了充电弹片外露而导致安全性低的问题,由于自移动设备可以实现无线充电,所以不需要充电弹片,可以缩小充电设备的体积便于充电设备的部署,且磁感发射线圈位于充电设备内部,同时也可以提供充电系统的安全性。

首先,对本申请实施例涉及的若干名词进行介绍。
WiFi:是一种创建于IEEE 802.11标准的无线局域网技术。WiFi用于定位时,定位的精度在3米-10米。
超宽带(Ultra Wide Band,UWB)技术:是一种无线载波通信技术,它不采用正弦载波,而是利用纳秒级的非正弦波窄脉冲传输数据,因此其所占的频谱范围很宽。UWB用于定位时,定位的精度在1厘米-10厘米。
数据帧:数据链路层的协议数据单元,它包括三部分:帧头,数据部分,帧尾。其中,帧头和帧尾包含一些必要的控制信息,比如同步信息、地址信息、差错控制信息等;数据部分则包含网络层传下来的数据,比如IP数据包。不同信号的数据帧格式不同。
本实施例提供一种自移动设备的充电系统,如图1所示。该系统至少包括充电设备110和自移动设备120。
充电设备110用于为自移动设备120充电。充电设备110可以为充电桩、或者充电座等具有供电功能的设备,本实施例不对充电设备110的类型作限定。
自移动设备120可以为扫地机器人、或者拖地机器人等具有自移动功 能的设备,本实施例不对自移动设备120的类型作限定。
本实施例中,参考图2,充电设备110包括:壳体111(图中未示意)、第一信号发射器112和第二信号发射器113。
壳体111为充电设备110的外壳,壳体111的形状可以是规则的几何体,或者,也可以根据部署的需求设置成其他形状,本实施例不对壳体111的形状作限定。

可选地,第一无线信号可以是WiFi信号,或者,也可以是蓝牙信号,本实施例不对第一无线信号的类型作限定。
在一个示例中,第一信号为WiFi信号,相应的,第二无线信号为UWB信号。
由于WiFi信号的发射功率比UWB信号的发射功率大,所以WiFi信号的传输距离比UWB信号远;同时,由于UWB信号的频率高于WiFi信号的频率,所述UWB信号的分辨率高于WiFi信号。
可选地,壳体111的高度低于预设充电设备的设备壳体的高度,预设充电设备为设置有红外发射器或超声发射器的充电设备。本实施例中的充电设备110未安装有红外发射器和超声发射器。
比如,预设充电设备设置有红外发射器,由于红外发射器需要安装到一定的高度才能使红外信号的覆盖范围达到预设的最小信号范围,而无线信号发射器对安装高度的要求小于红外发射器对安装高度的要求,所以安装无线信号发射器对壳体111高度的要求低于安装红外信号发射器对预设充电设备壳体高度的要求,所以壳体111的高度小于预设充电设备壳体的高度。
同时,由于壳体111的高度低于预设充电设备的设备高度,所以充电 设备110可以进行隐藏式安装,以节省充电设备所在工作区域的可使用空间。比如:可以安装在踢脚线内部,或者,也可以设置在橱柜底部,或者还可以嵌入其他设备之中,本实施例不对充电设备110的安装位置作限定。
可选地,所述第一信号发射器112和所述第二信号发射器113在预设时间段内均发射无线信号,或者所述第一信号发射器112和所述第二信号发射器113基于处理器的控制同一时刻仅发射一种无线信号。在第一信号发射器112和所述第二信号发射器113基于处理器的控制同一时刻仅发射一种无线信号的情况下,充电设备110还包括与所述第一信号发射器112和第二信号发射器113分别相连的处理器114。

可选地,可第一发射指令和第二发射指令可以由充电设备110生成,或者,也可以由自移动设备120向充电设备110发送,此时充电设备110与自移动设备120之间建立有通信连接,或者,还可以由其他设备(比如用户终端)向充电设备110发送,本实施例不对第一发射指令和第二发射指令的获取方式作限定。
在第一发射指令和/或第二发射指令是自移动设备120发送的情况下,充电设备110还与自移动设备120通信相连。
参考图3,本实施例中,自移动设备120包括:第一信号接收器121、第二信号接收器122和处理器123。
其中,第一信号接收器121用于接收第一无线信号;第二信号接收器122用于接收第二无线信号。
可选地,第一信号接收器121接收到的第一无线信号可以是第一信号发射器112发射的,也可以是自移动设备所在区域内其它发射第一无线信号的设备发射的;第二信号接收器122接收到的第二无线信号可以是第二 信号发射器113发射的,也可以是自移动设备所在区域内其他发射第二无线信号的设备发射的
处理器123与第一信号接收器121和第二信号接收器122分别相连。处理器123用于:响应于对自移动设备120进行充电的指令,基于第一无线信号和/或第二无线信号,确定充电设备110的位置信息;控制自移动设备120根据位置信息移动至充电设备110进行充电。
可选地,对自移动设备120进行充电的指令可以由自移动设备120生成,或者,还可以由其他设备(比如用户终端,如手机、平板电脑或者可穿戴式设备等)向自移动设备120发送,本实施例不对自移动设备120进行充电的指令的获取方式作限定。
在对自移动设备120进行充电的指令由自移动设备120生成的情况下,该指令可以是自移动设备120在指定时间自动生成的,或者,也可以是自移动设备120在电量小于预设电量阈值时自动生成的,或者,还可以是自移动设备120上安装的充电控件被触发时生成的。
其中,预设电量阈值可以为总电量的10%、15%或者为用户自适应设置的其它数值,本实施例不对预设电量阈值的取值作限定。
可选地,基于第一无线信号和/或第二无线信号,确定充电设备110的位置信息,包括:获取自移动设备120与充电设备110之间的距离;在该距离大于距离阈值的情况下,基于第一无线信号确定充电设备110的位置信息;在该距离小于或等于距离阈值的情况下,基于第二无线信号确定充电设备110的位置信息。可选地,充电设备110的无线信号发射方式包括但不限于以下两种方式中的一种:第一种方式,充电设备110同时发射第一无线信号和第二无线信号;第二种方式,充电设备110同一时刻发射第一无线信号和第二无线信号中的一种。由于不同的无线信号发射方式对应确定自移动设备120与充电设备110之间的距离、以及确定充电设备110的位置信息均不同,因此,下面针对不同的无线信号发射方式,对确定自移动设备120与充电设备110之间的距离、以及确定充电设备110的位置信息的方式分别进行介绍。
第一种方式,充电设备110的第一信号发射器112和第二信号发射器 113在预设时间段内均发射无线信号。
在第一种方式中,自移动设备120获取自移动设备120与充电设备110之间的距离,包括:在自移动设备120同时接收到第一信号发射器112和第二信号发射器113发射的无线信号的情况下,可以基于第一无线信号的强度,确定自移动设备120与充电设备110之间的距离,或者,也可以根据第二无线信号的强度确定自移动设120与充电设备110之间的距离,或者,还可以将基于第一无线信号强度和第二信号强度分别确定的自移动设备120与充电设备110之间的距离的均值,作为自移动设备120与充电设备110之间的距离;在自移动设备120接收到第一信号发射器112和第二信号发射器113中的一个发射的无线信号的情况下,基于自移动设备120当前接收到的无线信号的信号强度,确定自移动设备120与充电设备110之间的距离。
无线信号的信号强度与距离呈负相关关系。信号强度与距离呈负相关关系是指:信号强度越强距离越近,信号强度越弱,距离越远。
在第一种方式中,自移动设备120基于第一无线信号确定充电设备110的位置信息,包括:根据无线信号的信号标识,从接收到无线信号中确定第一无线信号;基于第一无线信号确定位置信息。

若自移动设备120同时接收到第二信号发射器113发射的第二无线信号和其它信号发射器发射的第二无线信号,则根据信号标识判断信号的发射设备,将接收到的无线信号中发射设备为充电设备110的信号确定为第二无线信号。
其中,无线信号的信号标识包括但不限于:设备标识和信号类型标识。
设备标识用于唯一地指示发射无线信号的设备,设备标识可以为设备号或者IP地址等,本实施例不对设备标识的实现方式作限定。
信号类型标识用于唯一地指示无线信号的种类,信号类型标识可以为信号的数据帧格式,或者,也可以为无线信号的带宽,本实施例不对信号类型标识的实现方式作限定。
第二种方式,充电设备110中的处理器114响应于第一发射指令,控制第一信号发射器112发射第一无线信号,并控制第二信号发射器113暂停发射第二无线信号;响应于第二发射指令,控制第二信号发射器113发射第二无线信号,并控制第一信号发射器112暂停发射第一无线信号。
在第二种方式中,第一发射指令与第二发射指令由自移动设备120发送。相应的,自移动设备120与充电设备110预先建立通信连接。
自移动设备120基于第一无线信号确定充电设备110的位置信息,包括:在距离由小于或等于距离阈值变化为大于距离阈值的情况下,基于通信连接向充电设备110发送第一发射指令,以供充电设备110发射第一无线信号,并暂停发射第二无线信号;接收第一无线信号,并基于第一无线信号确定充电设备110的位置信息。
自移动设备120基于第二无线信号确定充电设备110的位置信息,包括:在距离由大于距离阈值变化为小于或等于距离阈值的情况下,基于通信连接向充电设备110发送第二发射指令,以供充电设备110发射第二无线信号,并暂停发射第一无线信号;接收第二无线信号,并基于第二无线信号确定充电设备110的位置信息。
其中,距离阈值可以根据第二无线信号的最佳传输距离确定,或者,也可以根据第一无线信号的定位精度确定,或者还可以根据第一无线信号的定位精度和第二无线信号的最佳传输距离确定,本实施例不对距离阈值的设定方式作限定。
在一个示例中,距离阈值根据第一无线信号的定位精度确定,距离阈值为第一无线信号的定位精度与缓冲距离之和。
其中,缓冲距离是指:自移动设备120在信号切换的过程中可能运动的最大距离,缓冲距离根据自移动设备120与充电设备110之间的通信时延、以及自移动设备120的移动速度确定。
比如,第一无线信号的定位精度为3米,缓冲距离为0.1米,则距离阈值设定为3.1米。
可选地,基于通信连接向充电设备110发送第一发射指令或者第二发射指令之后,自移动设备120的处理器123还用于,基于信号接收器当前接收到的无线信号与充电设备110建立通信连接,以供自移动设备120后续通过通信连接发送第一发射指令或第二发射指令。
可选地,基于信号接收器当前接收到的无线信号与充电设备110建立通信连接,包括:在第一信号接收器121接收到第一无线信号的情况下,基于第一信号接收器121向充电设备110发送第一连接请求;相应地,充电设备110的第一发射器接收的第一连接请求后,基于第一发射器向自移动设备120发送第一确认信息,自移动设备120收到第一确认信息后,通信连接建立。
或者,在第二信号接收器122接收到第二无线信号的情况下,基于第二信号接收器122向充电设备110发送第二连接请求,相应地,充电设备110的第二发射器接收的第二连接请求后,基于第二发射器向自移动设备120发送第二确认信息,自移动设备120收到第二确认信息后,通信连接建立。
在本实施例中,基于第一无线信号确定充电设备110的位置信息,包括:获取自移动设备120在至少三个不同的采集位置采集的第一无线信号的信号强度;确定每个信号强度指示的自移动设备120与充电设备110之间的第一参考距离,信号强度与第一参考距离呈负相关关系;确定以每个 采集位置为圆心、以采集位置对应的第一参考距离为半径所形成的圆形的交点,交点的位置为充电设备110相对于自移动设备120的位置。
在一个示例中,自移动设备120在运动的过程中以预定的时间间隔采集第一无线信号,并根据采集到的第一无线信号的强度计算自移动设备120与充电设备110之间的第一参考距离;在每次采集到第一无线信号后,以采集位置为圆心,第一参考距离为半径作参考圆;根据三个以上参考圆即可唯一确定参考圆的交点或相交区域,该交点或相交区域即为充电设备110的位置。
在本实施例中,基于第二无线信号确定充电设备110的位置信息,包括:基于第二无线信号确定自移动设备120与充电设备110之间的第二参考距离;基于第二无线信号确定充电设备110相对于自移动设备120的方向。

第一种方式,基于至少两个不同位置采集的第二无线信号信息确定充电设备110相对于自移动设备120的方向。
可选地,基于第二无线信号确定充电设备110相对于自移动设备120的方向,包括:获取自移动设备120在至少两个不同的采集位置采集的第二无线信号的发射时间;对于每个第二无线信号,基于第二无线信号确定自移动设备120与充电设备110之间的第二参考距离;基于不同采集位置对应的第二参考距离120,确定充电设备110相对于自移动设备120的方向。
在一个示例中,基于第二无线信号确定充电设备110相对于自移动设备120的方向,包括以下两个步骤:
步骤一,在某一位置,以自移动设备120当前位置为圆心,基于当前采集位置的第二无线信号确定的参考距离为半径作第一参考圆;以之前任一采集位置为圆心,基于该采集位置的第二无线信号确定的参考距离为半径作第二参考圆;确定第一参考圆和第二参考圆的交点,如果第一参考圆和第二参考圆只有一个交点,则第一参考圆和第二参考圆的交点位置为充电设备110的位置;否则,计算第一参考圆和第二参考圆的第一交点和第二交点,同时计算第一交点和第二交点连线的中点;确定充电 设备110位置信息的方式包括但不限于以下三种情况:
第一种情况,自移动设备120位于第一交点和第二点连接线的中点,则充电设备110位于自移动设备120的左侧或者右侧,执行步骤二。
第二种情况,第一交点和第二交点位于自移动设备120前侧,则充电设备110位于自移动设备120前侧,自移动设备120继续向前运动至第一交点和第二交点连接线的中点,执行步骤二。
第三种情况,如果第一交点和第二交点位于自移动设备120后侧,则充电设备110位于自移动设备120后侧,自移动设备120先原地旋转180度,然后向前运动至第一交点和第二交点连接线的中点,执行步骤二。
步骤二,自移动设备120向第一交点运动,如果运动过程中采集位置对应的第二参考距离小于第一交点和第二交点连接线中点对应的第二参考距离,则充电设备110位于第一交点位置,自移动设备120继续向前运动,如果运动过程中采集位置对应的第二参考距离大于第一交点和第二交点连接线中点对应的第二参考距离,则充电设备110位于第二交点位置。
第二种方式,自移动设备120上安装有至少两个第二信号接收器122,分别位于自移动设备120相对的两侧,基于不同第二信号接收器122同一时刻接收到的第二无线信号信息确定充电设备110相对于自移动设备120的方向。
可选地,至少两个第二信号接收器122均匀分布在自移动设备120边缘。
可选地,自移动设备120上安装的第二信号接收器122的数量为至少两个,基于第二无线信号确定充电设备110相对于自移动设备120的方向,包括:基于不同第二信号接收器122同一时刻接收到的第二无线信号确定充电设备110相对于自移动设备120的方向。
可选地,自移动设备120上安装有两个第二信号接收器122,一个位于自移动设备120左侧边缘,另一个位于自移动设备120右侧边缘,自移动设备120的磁感接收线圈位于自移动设备120的前侧边缘;基于两个第二信号接收器122同一时刻分别接收到的第二无线信号确定充电设备110相对于自移动设备120的方向。
在一个示例中,在某一位置,自移动设备120基于左侧第二信号接收器122接收的第二无线信号确定左参考距离;基于右侧第二信号接收器122接收的第二无线信号确定右参考距离;如果左参考距离等于右参考距离,此时充电设备110位于自移动设备120正前方;否则,基于左参考距离、右参考距离和左侧第二信号接收器122与右侧第二信号接收器122的距离计算充电设备110相对于自移动设备120的方向,同时自移动设备120旋转相应角度使得充电设备110位于自移动设备120正前方。
在另一个示例中,在某一位置,自移动设备120基于左侧第二信号接收器122接收的左第二无线信号;基于右侧第二信号接收器122接收的右侧第二无线信号;如果左侧第二无线信号的强度等于右侧第二无线信号的强度,此时充电设备110位于自移动设备120正前方;否则自移动设备120原地沿顺时针方向或逆时针方向旋转,并在旋转过程中不断检测左侧第二无线信号的强度和右侧第二无线信号的强度,直至左侧第二无线信号的强度等于右侧第二无线信号的强度时停止旋转,此时充电设备100位于自移动设备120正前方。
需要补充说明的是,上述基于第二无线信号确定自移动设备120与充电设备110之间的参考距离的方式和基于第二无线信号确定充电设备110相对于自移动设备120的方向的方式可以组成不同的方案,以供基于第二无线信号确定充电设备110的位置信息。
比如,在一个示例中,第二信号接收器122为至少两个;基于第二无线信号确定充电设备110的位置信息,包括:基于不同第二信号接收器122同一时刻接收到的第二无线信号的强度,确定充电设备110相对于自移动设备120的方向和距离。
在另一个示例中,第二无线信号携带第二无线信号的发射时间;基于第二无线信号确定充电设备110的位置信息,包括:获取自移动设备120在至少两个不同的采集位置采集的第二无线信号的发射时间;对于每个第二无线信号,基于第二无线信号的接收时间与第二无线信号的发射时间的差值,计算自移动设备120与充电设备110之间的第二参考距离;基于不同采集位置对应的第二参考距离,确定充电设备110相对于自移动设备 120的方向。
可选地,充电设备110还包括:位于壳体111内的磁感发射线圈115;磁感发射线圈,用于将电能转换为磁能输出,以供自移动设备120将磁能转换成电能进行无线充电。
相应的,自移动设备120还包括:与处理器123相连的磁感接收线圈124;磁感接收线圈,用于将接收到的磁能转换为电能,以供自移动设备120充电。
在一个示例中,充电设备110感应到自移动设备120到达预定充电位置,将磁感发射线圈通电,产生磁能;在自移动设备120响应于感应到充电设备110输出的磁能,将磁感接收线圈导通,以将充电设备110输出的磁能转换为电能,给电池充电;在检测到电池电量达到预设充电阈值时,自移动设备120的控制器控制磁感接收线圈断开,同时控制自移动设备120离开充电区域;充电设备110感应到自移动设备120离开充电位置时,自动将磁感发射线圈断开,停止产生磁能,充电结束。
在另一个示例中,自移动设备120到达预设充电位置后,向充电设备110发送开始充电信号;充电设备110接收到开始充电信号后,将磁感发射线圈通电,产生磁能;自移动设备120响应于感应到充电设备110输出的磁能,将磁感接收线圈导通,以将充电设备110输出的磁能转换为电能,给电池充电;在检测到电池电量达到预设充电阈值时,自移动设备120的控制器控制磁感接收线圈断开,同时向充电设备110发送结束充电信号;充电设备110接收到结束充电信号后,接磁感发射线圈断开,停止产生磁能,充电结束。
综上所述,本实施例提供的充电系统,充电设备包括:壳体;设置在壳体中的第一信号发射器和第二信号发射器;第一信号发射器用于发射第一无线信号;第二信号发射器用于发射第二无线信号;以供自移动设备基于第一无线信号和/或第二无线信号确定充电设备的位置;其中,第二无线信号的传输距离小于第一无线信号的传输距离,且使用第二无线信号进行无线定位的定位精度大于使用第一无线信号进行无线定位的定位精度;自移动设备包括:第一信号接收器,用于接收第一无线信号; 第二信号接收器,用于接收第二无线信号;与第一信号接收器和第二信号接收器分别相连的处理器,用于响应于对自移动设备进行充电的指令,基于第一无线信号和/或第二无线信号,确定充电设备的位置信息;控制自移动设备根据位置信息移动至充电设备进行充电;可以解决现有的自移动设备回充方法由于红外发射器的发射角度受限,自移动设备识别充电设备的位置时具有信号盲区;为了保证自移动设备能实现回充,自移动设备通常被禁止进入信号盲区,而导致的自移动设备存在工作盲区的问题;由于第一信号发射器和第二信号发射器对发射角度均无限制,所以自移动设备识别充电设备的位置时不具有信号盲区,所以可以扩大自移动设备的工作范围。
同时,由于充电设备设置有第一信号发射器和第二信号发射器,自移动设备设置有第一信号接收器和第二信号接收器,自移动设备可以根据第一无线信号和/或第二无线信号确定充电设备的位置,由于第二无线信号的传输距离小于第一无线信号的传输距离,而使用第二无线信号定位的精度大于使用第一无线信号定位的精度,因而第一无线信号可以保证自移动设备在第二无线信号的发射范围外能接收到充电设备发射的第一无线信号从而判断充电设备的位置,同时第二无线信号可以保证自移动设备能够根据接收到的第二无线信号精确判断充电设备的位置,最终实现回充,所以可以提高自移动设备的回充效率。
另外,由于不用使用红外发射器,可以解决现有的自移动设备回充方法由于红外发射器的发射角度受限,为了保证红外发射器能够向远处发射红外信号,红外发射器在充电座的安装位置通常较高,会导致充电设备的设备壳体的厚度较厚,占用空间较大的问题;由于充电设备无需安装红外发射器即可实现自移动设备的对充电设备的定位,且信号发射器对安装高度没有要求,所以本申请中充电设备壳体的厚度较薄,便于充电设备的部署。
另外,通过在自移动设备与充电设备之间的距离大于距离阈值的情况下,基于第一无线信号确定充电设备的位置信息;在自移动设备与充电设备之间的距离小于或等于距离阈值的情况下,基于第二无线信号确 定充电设备的位置信息;且第二无线信号的传输距离小于第一无线信号的传输距离,使用第二无线信号进行无线定位的定位精度大于使用第一无线信号进行无线定位的定位精度,所以可以根据自移动设备与充电设备之间的距离选择最佳的定位方案,可以提高回充效率。
另外,由于充电设备的第一信号发射器和第二信号发射器在预设时间段内均发射无线信号,自移动设备可以根据当前与充电设备的距离选择基于第一无线信号或第二无线信号确定充电设备的位置,可以解决在充电设备同一时刻只发射一种信号时,需要进行信号切换的问题,可以提高回充效率。
另外,由于充电设备同一时刻只发射一种无线信号,自移动设备同一时刻也只接收有一种无线信号,可以解决充电设备需要同时接收第一无线信号和第二无线信号导致自移动设备的电量消耗大的问题,自移动设备不需要同时接收第一无线信号和第二无线信号,所以可以减少自移动设备和充电设备的电量消耗。
另外,由于自移动设备能获取自移动设备与充电设备之间的距离,并在距离由小于或等于距离阈值变化为大于距离阈值的情况下,基于通信连接向充电设备发送第一发射指令,在距离由大于距离阈值变化为小于或等于距离阈值的情况下,基于通信连接向充电设备发送第二发射指令;可以实现在充电设备只发射一种无线信号时,充电设备发射的无线信号和自移动设备当前定位所需的无线信号的一致的,避免了因充电设备发射的无线信号与自移动设备当前定位所需的无线信号不一致而导致的定位精度差或无法定位的问题所以可以提高自移动设备的回充效率,同时也降低了自移动设备和充电设备的电量消耗。
另外,由于充电设备的第二信号接收器为至少两个,所以自移动设备可以基于至少两个第二信号接收器同一时刻分别接收到的第二无线信号的强度确定所述充电设备相对于所述自移动设备的方向和距离,可以解决需要多个采样点的数据才能定位充电设备位置的问题,提高了自移动设备的回充效率。
另外,由于第二无线信号携带第二无线信号的发射时间,所以,可 以基于第二无线信号的接收时间和第二无线信号的发射时间计算自移动设备与充电设备之间的距离,可以解决利用无线信号强度计算距离时准确度不高的问题,可以提高距离计算的准确性,从而提高确定出的充电设备位置的准确性。
另外,由于充电设备还包括位于所述壳体内的磁感发射线圈;自移动设备还包括与处理器相连的磁感接收线圈,磁感接收线圈,用于将接收到的磁能转换为电能,以供所述自移动设备充电;可以解决充电设备与自移动设备通过充电弹片进行充电而导致的充电设备体积大部署不方便的问题,同时也解决了充电弹片外露而导致安全性低的问题,由于自移动设备可以实现无线充电,所以不需要充电弹片,可以缩小充电设备的体积便于充电设备的部署,且磁感发射线圈位于充电设备内部,同时也可以提供充电系统的安全性。
