Light control method of self-walking equipment and self-walking equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a light control method of self-walking equipment and the self-walking equipment. An annular light device (2) and a detection element (3) are arranged on the self-walking equipment, and according to detection orientation information of the detection element (3), a part of area, facing the detection orientation, of the annular light device (2) is lightened. The light controlmethod can be used for achieving light warning and light compensation, sensors of the self-walking equipment judges the direction of a living thing approaching the self-walking equipment, part of thearea on the annular light device is controlled to be lightened according to the judgment result, and light warning can be accurately conducted on the area where the living thing approaches the self-walking equipment; and by judging the orientation of a camera of a visual sensor, the upper part of the annular light device is controlled to be lighted, the lighted area is consistent with the orientation direction of the camera, the size of the visual sensor is reduced while illumination compensation is ensured, and overall layout is better facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of self-propelled equipment, and in particular relates to a lighting control method for self-propelled equipment and the self-propelled equipment. Background technique [0002] Self-propelled equipment is an intelligent robot capable of continuous and real-time autonomous movement on roads and outdoors. As a kind of self-propelled equipment, the intelligent mowing robot is suitable for clearing vegetation on hills, terraces, plains and other plots, as well as weeds in lawns. Its operation is simple and its work efficiency is high. Our common schools and street landscaping are all done with lawn mowers. In foreign countries, many families use lawn mowers to weed their gardens. [0003] When the self-propelled equipment is in use, it moves in the working area by itself. When people or animals move in the working area, they may approach the self-propelled equipment. Sensors are used to detect obstacles and a...

Problems solved by technology

Since the light source is installed at a single point on the fuselage, in some directions, the light source may be blocked by the device casing, resulting in insignificant warning effect

[0004] With the development of science and technology, more and more visual sensors are used in self-propelled equipment. Usually, in order to ensure that the image collected by the visual sensor is clear, a lighting compensation device will be installed around the lens in the visual sensor, resulting in a larger overall volume of the visual sensor and a larger space occupation. Many, which is not conducive to the layout of the whole machine parts. At the same time, in order to ensure that the visual sensor image is not blocked during the image acquisition process, the visual sensor usually needs to protrude from the fuselage. The visual sensor itself is larger and protrudes more from the fuselage, which is not beautiful At the same time, it will also lead to defects such as an increase in the height of the fuselage and visual sensors that are easily damaged by collisions.
