Problems solved by technology

However, setting the floating drive wheel requires a large space, which requires the body to have a sufficient height
However, in order to adapt to a wider cleaning work area, especially for cleaning the bottom of some furniture such as beds or cabinets with less space at the bottom, the smart vacuum cleaner needs to have a lower height, and floating vacuum cleaners cannot be installed on this type of vacuum cleaner.

[0046] In this embodiment, the self-moving device of the present invention includes a main body 1 , a down-view sensor 2 , a control module (not shown in the figure) and an alarm module (not shown in the figure). The main body 1 is the main part of the self-moving device, and is used to implement various actions, and its lower part is equipped with driving wheels 11, 12 to facilitate self-propelled movement.

[0047] The number of down-view sensors 2 is three (but not limited to three, it can be two, or four or more), and the three down-view sensors 2 are all located on the outer edge of the bottom of the body 1 . One of them is located at the front of the body 1 , and the other two are located at both sides of the body 1 .

[0048] The three downward-looking sensors 2 are infrared sensors (not limited to infrared sensors, but also ultrasonic sensors, antenna sensors, etc.), including infrared emitters and infrared receivers. When the receiver receives the infrared signal refl...

[0068] In this embodiment, the autonomous mobile device of the present invention also includes a main body 1 , a down-view sensor 2 , a control module (not shown in the figure) and an alarm module (not shown in the figure). Wherein, the main body 1, the control module and the alarm module are not substantially different from those in the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0069] In this embodiment, the number of downward-looking sensors 2 is five (but not limited to five, it can be any number of more than two), and the five downward-looking sensors are respectively located on the outer edge of the bottom of the body 1 and the driving wheel at the bottom of the body 1 11, 12 inside. In this embodiment, three downward-looking sensors 2 are located on the outer edge of the bottom of the main body 1 , one of which is located at the front of the main body 1 , and the other two downward-looking sensors 2 are located on both sides of the main body 1 . The other two d...

Abstract

The invention discloses a self-moving device, which comprises a body (1), a downward-looking sensor (2) and a control module, the number of the downward-looking sensors is more than two, and the two or more downward-looking sensors are all installed on the The bottom of the main body; the control module is installed in the main body and connected to the down-view sensor, and the control module controls the action of the main body according to the number of suspension signals sent by the down-view sensor. In the present invention, the main body is made to make correct actions, avoiding falling caused by turning to another suspended position, and avoiding waste and possible pollution caused by idling while suspended.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a self-moving device, in particular to a structure and a control method for preventing falling in the self-moving device. Background technique [0002] At present, with the popularization of self-moving smart home appliances such as smart vacuum cleaners and smart sweepers, more and more families use smart home appliances to reduce work pressure and improve the quality of life. [0003] During the working process of smart vacuum cleaners, it is likely to encounter steps. If the machine cannot be stopped in time, it will cause the machine to fall, cause damage to the machine, and cause economic losses. Therefore, it is necessary to set an anti-drop device. Current vacuum cleaners are equipped with detectors at the front, and when an abnormal situation is detected, the vacuum cleaner moves backwards or turns left and right to prevent falling. However, during the working process of smart vacuum cleaners, etc., the machine may be ...
