Embodiment 1

[0035] Such as figure 1 with image 3 As shown, a robot automatic charging control method of the present invention is characterized in that the robot 2 includes a Bluetooth directional receiver, a charging contact piece, and photosensitive sensing devices 3 arranged on the left and right sides; A light source 4 and a bluetooth beacon; the infrared charging signal emitted by the infrared light source 4 to the charger 1 is distributed in a fan-shaped area centered on the infrared light source 4; the bluetooth beacon emits a bluetooth charging signal; the bluetooth directional receiver Receive bluetooth charging signal; Described a kind of robot automatic charging control method comprises the following steps: when robot 2 needs to charge, search bluetooth charging signal in the random motion in activity area; When robot 2 detects bluetooth charging signal, moves towards bluetooth transmitting source , and look for the infrared charging signal; when the photosensitive sensor devi...

Embodiment 2

[0038] On the basis of Embodiment 1, this embodiment further includes the following steps: the robot 2 detects the power, and if the power is fully charged, it stops charging and leaves the charger 1 .

[0039] When this embodiment is implemented, when the robot 2 detects that the battery is fully charged, it does not need to communicate with the charger 1 , and only needs to terminate the charging and leave the charger 1 to complete the charging.

Embodiment 3

[0041] In this embodiment, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the robot 2 sets a timer, and the timer sets the timing time as 30s; when the robot 2 moves to the Bluetooth signal source, if the robot 2 cannot detect the Bluetooth charging signal, the timer starts, and the robot 2. Rotate in place to detect the Bluetooth charging signal. When the timer reaches the set time and the robot cannot detect the Bluetooth charging signal, it will perform random motion again to find the Bluetooth charging signal.

[0042] When this embodiment is implemented, when the robot 2 detects the Bluetooth charging signal and moves towards the Bluetooth signal source, an obstacle appears between the Bluetooth signal source and the robot 2, the Bluetooth charging signal is blocked, and the robot 2 cannot detect the Bluetooth charging signal, then The timer starts, and the robot 2 rotates on the spot to detect the Bluetooth charging signal. When the timer reaches 30s, the robot 2 cannot detect the Bluetoo...

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic charging control method of a robot. The robot comprises light-sensitive sensing devices which are arranged at left and right sides; a charger is used for emitting a fan-shaped charging signal; the automatic charging control method comprises the following steps: when the robot needs to be charged, doing random movement in a region and looking for charging signals; when finding the charging signals, moving toward the direction of the charging signal; in a process of moving toward the charging signals, detecting whether the strength of the charging signals received by the light-sensitive sensing devices at the left and right sides is the same or not; if not, adjusting the movement direction until the strength of the charging signals at the left and right sides is the same; detecting whether a contact piece of the charger is in contact with a charging contact piece of the robot or not; if not, continually moving the robot until the contact piece of the charger is in contact with the charging contact piece of the robot, stopping moving and starting to charge. When the robot needs to be charged, the robot does the random movement in the region and the charging signals are found, so that the robot can be automatically charged even when the robot is not in a coverage range of the signals emitted by the charger, and an automatic movement range of the robot is enlarged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a robot charging control method, in particular to a robot automatic charging control method. Background technique [0002] A robot with autonomous behavior will encounter a situation where the battery power is low. At this time, it needs to return to the charger to replenish the power. At present, most of the mobile robots are charged by manual auxiliary plug-in charger or automatic charging by mechanical alignment. Manually assisted insertion of the charger requires complicated operations by personnel, while the method of automatic charging using mechanical alignment has a low success rate and is difficult to be used on multiple platforms. Now the automatic homing charging method is divided into the following types: based on infrared receiver and gyroscope, based on infrared receiver and visual sensor, based on infrared receiver. [0003] Due to the drift of the gyroscope itself, the method based on the infrared receiver and...
