Embodiment 1

[0019] figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of the self-mobile robot of the present invention. Such as figure 2 As shown, the self-mobile robot of the present invention includes a robot main body 1, and a control unit (not shown) is provided in the robot main body 1. The self-mobile robot also includes a rotatable boundary detection device 2 arranged on the robot main body 1, and the boundary The detection device 2 includes a detection rod, one end of the detection rod is a fixed end, fixed on the side of the robot main body 1, and the other end of the detection rod is a free end, away from the side edge of the robot main body 1, and the detection rod can Rotate around the fixed end, and send detection signals according to the peripheral environment during the rotation process, and the control unit controls the self-mobile robot to move according to the detection signals.

[0020] It should be noted that the number of boundary detection devices 2 on the robot body...

Embodiment 2

[0025] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the self-moving robot in Embodiment 1. The difference is that the boundary detection device 2 also includes a ball head. Specifically, the free end of the detection rod faces the side of the working surface. The telescopic ball head can slide along the direction perpendicular to the working surface, and the control unit controls the movement of the self-moving robot according to the detection signal of the boundary detection device equipped with the ball head.

[0026] The self-mobile robot in the first embodiment can only detect the boundary of the working surface with a high frame, but in this embodiment, the self-mobile robot with a ball head can realize the boundary detection of the working surface without a frame.

[0027] The specific structure of the ball head can be found in patent CN203885426U. The ball head can be connected to the inside of the detection rod by a spring to achieve the purpose of ...

Embodiment 3

[0030] The structure of this embodiment and the self-moving robot in Embodiment 1 is basically the same, the difference is that the fixed end of the detection rod is provided with a sleeve, the robot main body 1 is provided with a rotating shaft, and the sleeve is sleeved on the rotating shaft. It can slide along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, that is, the length of the sleeve is shorter than that of the rotating shaft. The above-mentioned structure can realize the rotation of the detection rod around the rotation axis, and can also make the boundary detection device 2 move axially along the rotation axis as a whole. The position of the casing can also be detected by a sensor connected to the control unit, such as a micro switch or a distance sensor, which will not be repeated here. According to the position of the casing, the boundary detection device transmits the detection signal to the control unit, and the control unit controls Self-moving robot actions.

Abstract

The invention provides a self-moving robot. The self-moving robot comprises a robot body (1). A control unit and a boundary detection device (2) are arranged on the robot body. The boundary detection device comprises a detection rod. One end of the detection rod is a fixed end and is fixed to the side edge of the robot body, the other end of the detection rod is a free end and is away from the edge of the side edge of the robot body, the detection rod can rotate with the fixed end as the center and transmit a detection signal in the rotating process according to the external environment, and the control unit controls the self-moving robot to act according to the detection signal. The boundary detection device is arranged on the self-moving robot, after the self-moving robot encounters boundaries, the self-moving robot can walk along the side without retreating, and therefore the cleaning efficiency of regions near the boundaries is improved. In addition, the self-moving robot can effectively recognize the boundaries of various types on the working surface, therefore, it is avoided that the self-moving robot is damaged in the working process, and the safety of the self-moving robot is guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a self-moving robot, which belongs to the technical field of small household appliance manufacturing. Background technique [0002] Most of the window cleaning robots sold on the market use vacuum adsorption to work on the window. In order to reduce the collision between the window cleaning robot and the glass boundary, in the prior art, anti-collision devices are generally used on the window cleaning robot. The plate method, when the window cleaning robot collides with the glass boundary, the anti-collision plate triggers the micro switch, and the control unit in the window cleaning robot also controls the walking of the window cleaning robot according to the signal of the micro switch. Specifically, due to the collision Finally, the window-cleaning robot cannot continue to move forward. Therefore, after the control unit receives the collision signal, it controls the window-cleaning robot to retreat a certain distance and turn...
