Obstacle detection device and omnidirectional vehicle

Abstract

The invention provides an obstacle detection device and an omnidirectional vehicle, belonging to the field of vehicle engineering. The obstacle detection device is used for the omnidirectional vehicle and comprises a shell, a visual ultrasonic sensing module, and a visual ultrasonic processing module. The visual ultrasonic sensing module comprises a vision sensor and an ultrasonic sensor. Both the vision sensor and the ultrasonic sensor are arranged on the shell. The vision sensor is used for collecting an image signal of an obstacle. The ultrasonic sensor is used for collecting the ultrasonic signal of the obstacle. The visual ultrasonic processing module is used for receiving and processing the image signal and the ultrasonic signal, and thus obtaining the position information of the obstacle. The omnidirectional vehicle comprises the above obstacle detection device. The obstacle detection device can effectively detect various types of obstacles and thus accurately detect the existence of the obstacle. The omnidirectional vehicle can effectively and accurately avoid the obstacle, thus the damage to the omnidirectional vehicle and an external environment is avoided, and the stability and safety of operation are ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of vehicle engineering, in particular to an obstacle detection device and an omnidirectional vehicle. Background technique [0002] With the development of industrial automation, omnidirectional mobile vehicles (AGV vehicles) are becoming more and more popular in the intelligent storage industry, and higher requirements are placed on the stability and reliability of omnidirectional mobile vehicles. At the same time, omnidirectional mobile vehicles are also used in the shooting of film and television dramas and variety shows. [0003] In order to prevent the vehicle from colliding with obstacles, other vehicles or staff when it is working, it is necessary to detect whether there are obstacles around the robot during its movement. In the prior art, a single detection device is often used for obstacle detection, for example, a camera is used to collect images ahead, or an ultrasonic sensor is used to collect ultrasonic ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the work of the camera will be affected when the texture is particularly sparse, the texture is highly repetitive, the surface of a solid color, the lighting changes rapidly, and the movement speed exceeds the range; while ultrasonic waves cannot detect small objects such as thin railings and grid fences

In these cases, using a single detection device for obstacle detection cannot accurately detect whether there are obstacles around, and detection failures often occur
