Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the continuous development of intelligent technology, robot applications have penetrated into the fields of agriculture, environmental protection and energy. In the field of new energy, especially in the maintenance and management of photovoltaic power stations, how to effectively remove weeds around photovoltaic panels has become an important issue in improving the efficiency of photovoltaic power stations. Photovoltaic power stations are generally located in relatively open areas and are usually in direct contact with the natural environment. Therefore, the growth of weeds not only affects the operating efficiency of photovoltaic panels, but may also cause damage to equipment. In order to improve work efficiency and reduce labor costs, more and more photovoltaic power stations have begun to use intelligent weeding robots to perform ground cleaning work. In this application scenario, the robot not only needs to perform weeding operations efficiently and accurately, but also needs to be able to avoid obstacles on different terrains to ensure the continuity and safety of the work process.

[0003] Although existing intelligent weeding robots can complete simple weeding tasks to a certain extent, they often perform poorly when faced with complex terrain and dynamic environments. Especially in terms of obstacle avoidance and path planning, existing intelligent robot systems often find it difficult to effectively deal with rapidly changing obstacles, such as fallen leaves, stones, and temporarily placed equipment. Traditional robots mainly rely on simple sensors to identify obstacles in front of them, but these sensors often find it difficult to update in real time and accurately determine the location and characteristics of obstacles, making it difficult for robots to flexibly adjust their paths in complex environments. Especially in all-terrain operations, the robot's obstacle avoidance capabilities and the real-time performance of path planning are greatly challenged. In addition, existing technologies are also difficult to accurately predict and respond to dynamically changing obstacles, causing robots to frequently stop and reposition, and even leading to reduced work efficiency and equipment damage.

The laser radar equipment can accurately obtain the terrain, obstacles and three-dimensional point cloud data of the photovoltaic power station and photovoltaic panels, and can efficiently identify obstacles, ups and downs on the ground and the distribution of panels. The image data acquisition unit supplements the gaps of laser radar through visual sensors, especially in the recognition of details of shadow areas, weed coverage and obstacles. Image data can provide more detailed information about the working environment, such as the type, density and growth status of weeds, to help the robot make accurate working judgments. By transmitting the point cloud data collected by the lidar and the image data collected by the visual sensor to the central database of the photovoltaic power station in real time and integrating them into the environmental data set S, the system can dynamically update and accurately reflect the real-time environmental conditions in the photovoltaic power station. The real-time transmission and storage of this data not only ensures the timeliness of data processing, but also provides high-quality original data support for the subsequent three-dimensional model building module, path planning module, operation path evaluation module and operation path optimization module. It can realize accurate information collection and environmental modeling in complex environments, and effectively improve the adaptability and reaction speed of the intelligent weeding robot to obstacles, weeds and changes in internal conditions of the photovoltaic power station. In addition, the transmission and update of real-time data ensures that various emergencies in the operation of the photovoltaic power station can be responded to quickly, thereby improving the efficiency and intelligence level of weeding operations.

[0073] The image data preprocessing is used to remove image noise using Gaussian filtering, enhance shadow area detail information using a contrast stretching algorithm, and segment vegetation coverage area images and obstacle images using a deep learning algorithm for the image data group in the environmental data set S;

[0074] The three-dimensional model building unit is used to build a three-dimensional model of the photovoltaic power station using 3D modeling software based on the pre-processed environmental data set S, and divide the three-dimensional model of the photovoltaic power station into a plurality of grid areas, each grid area represents a weeding task point;

[0075] The photovoltaic power station 3D model is based on the point cloud data set of the photovoltaic power station, and the photovoltaic power station 3D model framework is constructed.

The point cloud region segmentation using the regional growing algorithm helps to identify different areas within the photovoltaic power station, such as the distribution of obstacles and photovoltaic panels, and improves the accuracy and detail of the photovoltaic power station three-dimensional model. The image data preprocessing removes noise in the image through Gaussian filtering, effectively improves the quality of the image data, and enhances the reliability of subsequent image processing and analysis. The contrast stretching algorithm enhances the detail information of the shadow area. , ensuring that clear vegetation and obstacle information can still be obtained in weak light or complex environments. The deep learning algorithm uses intelligent image segmentation technology to accurately separate vegetation coverage areas and obstacle areas, thereby providing more accurate data support for path planning and operation path optimization. The pre-processed environmental data set S is converted into a three-dimensional model of the photovoltaic power station through the three-dimensional model construction unit, which can truly reflect the actual terrain, obstacle locations and layout of photovoltaic panels in the power station, and provide an accurate operation map for the intelligent weeding robot. On this basis, the path planning module can effectively plan the weeding path, avoid obstacles, and optimize the operation route. At the same time, the construction of the three-dimensional model of the photovoltaic power station can provide a highly accurate operation reference for the intelligent weeding robot, reducing the time and energy waste caused by improper path selection.

[0080] In this embodiment, by using the three-dimensional model of the photovoltaic power station, on the basis of grid search, according to the actual obstacle positions and terrain features in the photovoltaic power station, an operation path from the starting position of the intelligent weeding robot to the end point of the operation task is intelligently planned. In the process of path planning, the system takes into account various possible obstacles in the photovoltaic power station, such as equipment, facilities and terrain undulations, which can effectively avoid the collision between the intelligent weeding robot and obstacles, thereby ensuring the safety of the operation. In the process of planning the operation path, the system adopts a grid search method, and calculates the position and influence of obstacles in real time based on the three-dimensional model of the photovoltaic power station, accurately identifies which areas are passable and which areas need to be avoided. This process makes path planning more accurate and can dynamically select the appropriate path according to the specific operation task requirements. The path planning module can integrate all weeding task points into the planned path to ensure that the tasks are completed one by one in sequence during the execution process, avoid duplication or omission of operations, and improve the comprehensiveness and efficiency of weeding operations. Finally, the planned path is sent to the intelligent weeding robot in real time to ensure that the robot can perform weeding tasks according to the operation path. This path planning not only improves the operation efficiency, but also ensures the robot's obstacle avoidance ability, enabling it to successfully complete the weeding task in a complex photovoltaic power station environment, reduce manual intervention, and reduce operation risks. At the same time, by avoiding unnecessary detours and ineffective operations, the system further reduces energy consumption and operating costs, and realizes efficient use of resources.

[0103] The first path scoring threshold LY and the second path scoring threshold LP are preset, and the first path scoring threshold LY and the second path scoring threshold LP are compared and analyzed with the path comprehensive score LJ to evaluate the operation path. The specific evaluation contents are as follows:

[0104] If the path comprehensive score LJ ≤ the first path score threshold LY, it means that the operation path is qualified, and the operation continues and the operation process of the intelligent weeding robot is continuously monitored;

[0105] If the first path scoring threshold LY < path comprehensive score LJ ≤ second path scoring threshold LP, it means that there is a deviation in the operation path, and the local operation path is optimized according to the operation data set D;

[0106] If the comprehensive path score LJ> the second path score threshold LP, it means that the operation path is unqualified. The intelligent weeding robot is immediately controlled to stop the weeding operation and trigger the early warning mechanism. The early warning information is generated and sent to the intelligent weeding robot control center until a response is received from the intelligent weeding robot control center. The reason for the unqualified operation path is checked and the operation path is re-planned.

[0107] In this embodiment, by integrating multiple sensors and data analysis technologies, the robot's operating path can be monitored and optimized in real time to improve operating efficiency and safety. First, the operating data is collected in real time through laser radar, ultrasonic sensor, high-definition camera and high-precision GPS, covering obstacle distance, weed coverage and light data. These data are continuously updated during the operation process and used to calculate the obstacle occlusion coefficient ZD, weed influence coefficient ZC and path deviation coefficient PX, providing a scientific basis for path evaluation. By integrating these data, the system can accurately judge the compliance of the current path, adjust the operating strategy in time, and ensure that the robot continues to work efficiently in a complex environment. Secondly, the system can dynamically handle changes in the operating environment, such as obstacle occlusion and weed growth, avoiding the static limitations of traditional path planning methods. The real-time calculation of the obstacle occlusion coefficient ZD and the weed influence coefficient ZC enables the robot to automatically optimize the path and ensure the operating quality when facing sudden obstacles or weed-dense areas. This adaptability not only improves the weeding effect, It also reduces the operation stagnation caused by path deviation or environmental changes. In addition, the real-time monitoring and optimization mechanism of the path deviation coefficient PX ensures that the robot always works along the operation path, avoiding resource waste or equipment damage caused by path errors. Especially in complex scenarios such as photovoltaic power stations, the system can intelligently adjust the path and improve operation efficiency by monitoring the lighting conditions through light sensors and combining them with other operation data. The system also has a multi-level path evaluation and early warning mechanism, which can evaluate the operation path in real time according to the comprehensive path score LJ. If the comprehensive path score LJ is unqualified, the system will ensure operation safety through intelligent optimization or shutdown early warning. This intelligent path management mechanism not only reduces the need for manual intervention, but also improves the robot's operation accuracy and safety, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the operation. In short, through intelligent path evaluation and optimization, the system significantly improves the operation efficiency, accuracy and adaptability of the weeding robot, provides strong technical support for weeding operations in complex environments, reduces manual intervention, and improves work safety.

[0108] Example 6

[0109] Please refer to Figure 1 ,Specifically: the operation path optimization module includes an operation path planning unit and an intelligent feedback unit;

[0110] The operation path planning unit is used to perform local path planning based on the real-time operation data set D when there is a deviation in the operation path, that is, LY<LJ≤LP, using the dynamic path planning algorithm RRT-Connect, and according to the environmental data and position data in the operation data set D of the intelligent weeding robot, to obtain an operation path from the current position of the robot to the end point of the local operation area, and obtain the path adjustment amount ΔP, and the path adjustment amount ΔP is obtained in the following manner:

[0111] ΔP=P a -P c ;

[0112] Where P a represents the new operation path of the intelligent weeding robot after the operation path is optimized, P c The original operation path representing the current position of the intelligent weeding robot.

[0113] The intelligent feedback unit is used to transmit the acquired path adjustment amount ΔP to the control center of the intelligent weeding robot, and generate an intelligent weeding robot control instruction based on the path adjustment amount ΔP, and send the intelligent weeding robot control instruction to the intelligent weeding robot to adjust the operation path, and during the weeding operation, according to the obstacle data of the operation area monitored in real time by the intelligent weeding robot, when a new obstacle appears in the operation area, the operation path is adjusted in real time.

[0114] In this embodiment, by introducing the dynamic path planning algorithm RRT-Connect, the operation path planning unit can quickly perform local path planning based on the real-time acquired environmental data and position data when the operation path of the intelligent weeding robot deviates. The algorithm has strong flexibility and adaptability, and can automatically adjust the path in a complex and dynamically changing operation environment to avoid operation interruption or unnecessary repeated operations caused by path deviation, thereby significantly improving the operation efficiency and path accuracy. Secondly, the intelligent feedback unit can transmit the path adjustment information to the control center in real time, generate corresponding control instructions, and immediately feedback to the robot to ensure that the path adjustment instructions are executed in the shortest time. This high degree of real-time performance and rapid response ensures that the robot can quickly respond to path deviations and environmental changes, and will not cause a decrease in operation efficiency or robot operation errors due to delayed adjustment, thereby improving the accuracy and flexibility of the operation path of the intelligent weeding robot. The real-time path adjustment and feedback mechanism also improves the robot's adaptability to dynamic environments, enabling it to efficiently perform operation tasks under complex and changeable operating conditions. These advantages combined make the intelligent weeding robot more efficient and energy-saving in weeding operations in photovoltaic power stations, and reduce operating costs, further promoting the integration and development of agriculture and automation technology.
