Problems solved by technology

[0002] Since the smart lawn mowers are equipped with obstacle detection function, when the smart lawn mower enters the charging station, the charging station will be regarded as an obstacle, or other misunderstandings will occur, so that the smart lawn mower cannot enter the charging station smoothly. Some smart lawn mowers are basically connected to the charging station through a mechanical interface. If the interface is not connected correctly, the power-on efficiency will be very low
In order to improve the charging efficiency of smart lawn mowers, US20150366137 discloses a method that uses intensity gradients to control the general direction of smart lawn mowers, find the path back to charging, reduce the interference of obstacles, and reduce the battery exhaustion caused by reaching the charging station. lawn mower, but he only improved the charging return, reducing the risk of battery drain, and did not improve the effectiveness of the joint docking

Embodiment 1

[0039] The present invention provides a check-in confirmation method for an intelligent lawnmower check-in charging operation system, such as figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, the intelligent lawnmower station charging operation system includes a charging station 1 and an intelligent lawnmower, and the intelligent lawnmower includes a lawnmower body 2 and a central processing unit, and the lawnmower body 2 is provided with a first charging interface piece 21. The charging station 1 is equipped with a second charging interface piece 12 that cooperates with the first charging interface piece 21. The intelligent lawn mower charging operation system also includes a first detection mechanism, such as image 3 As shown, the check-in confirmation method includes the following steps:

[0040] A. After the central processor receives the signal that the power of the lawn mower body is lower than the set threshold, the central processor sends a signal to return to charging to make the la...

Embodiment 2

[0065] The main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the first detection mechanism includes a first travel switch and a protrusion.

[0066] The first detection mechanism includes a first travel switch and a protrusion. The first travel switch is installed at the second charging interface piece, and the protrusion is installed at the first charging interface piece. When the protrusion conflicts with the first travel switch, that is, the second When the first charging interface piece and the second charging interface piece are in the matching position, the state of the first travel switch changes and sends a signal to the central processing unit. The advantage of this setting is that the limit switch is a mechanical switch, and the induction is not affected by other environmental factors, so it is more reliable to use.

[0067] It can be understood that the first travel switch can also be installed on the first charging interface piece, and the protrusion...

Embodiment 3

[0069] The main difference between this embodiment and Embodiments 1 and 2 is that the second detection mechanism includes a second travel switch.

[0070] The second travel switch is installed on the guide guardrail, the mower body contacts the second travel switch, it is determined that the lawn mower body is close to the charging station, the state of the second travel switch changes, and the second travel switch sends a signal to the central processing unit. The advantage of this setting is that the limit switch is a mechanical switch, and the induction is not affected by other environmental factors, so it is more reliable to use.

Abstract

The invention provides a station-entering confirming method for an intelligent-mower station-entering charging system. The intelligent station-entering charging system comprises a charging station, anintelligent mower and a first detecting mechanism, wherein the intelligent mower comprises a mower body and a central processing unit, the mower body is provided with a first charging interface piece, and a second charging interface piece are arranged in the charging station. The method includes the steps of A, after the central processing unit receives a signal showing that the electric quantityof the mower body is lower than a set threshold, the central processing unit transmits a returning charging signal to allow the mower body to move towards the charging station; B, when the first charging interface piece is located at a positon coordinated with the second charging interface piece, the first detecting mechanism transmits a signal to the central processing unit; C, after the centralprocessing unit receives the signal transmitted by the first detecting mechanism, the central processing unit transmits a charging confirming signal to allow the mower body to stop moving and start charging. By the method, bad contact of the charging interface pieces of the mower can be avoided, and high charging efficiency is achieved.
