Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of base stations for intelligent walking devices, in particular to a split navigation base station for self-propelled devices suitable for use in multiple environments. Background Art

[0002] The borderless smart lawn mower based on the satellite navigation positioning system mainly consists of two parts: the mobile station and the base station. The mobile station and the base station receive the positioning signal of the satellite system through the positioning antenna and perform RTK positioning solution to achieve high-precision positioning.

[0003] The communication between the mobile station and the base station mainly uses wireless radio frequency. When there is a straight-line communication obstacle, the communication distance will be correspondingly attenuated. Therefore, the base stations of existing satellite navigation equipment are all set up in relatively open space and on relatively high walls and poles.

[0004] The charging base station of the borderless smart lawn mower is installed on the ground. The communication between the mobile station and the base station mainly uses wireless radio frequency. When there is a straight-line communication obstacle, the communication distance will be correspondingly attenuated. Therefore, the base stations of existing satellite navigation equipment are independently set up in relatively open, high walls and poles based on environmental limitations. It cannot form a corresponding complete entity with the charging station, which will bring many inconveniences in a series of operations such as product communication configuration. In addition, the external base station needs to be powered by a separate power supply, and the exposed cables are prone to other safety hazards. Summary of the invention
