[0052] Embodiment IV

[0053] The control process of a roadway repair machine disclosed in this embodiment is as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, after the roadway repair machine is started, it first performs a self-check when powered on. The self-check items include the original states of various sensors and the control system. After the self-check is successful, the wireless remote control sends a control instruction to the roadway repair machine. If it is remote control, it enters the remote control walking subroutine; otherwise, it enters the local control mode. In the local control mode, it is necessary to select whether to use the manual or automatic mode. If it is manual, it enters the manual walking subroutine; otherwise, it enters the automatic control mode. In the automatic mode, the controller collects data from the smoke sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, and multi-parameter sensor to monitor the roadway environment. The controller collects data from the inclination sensor to monitor the vehicle body attitude. The lidar and high-definition camera scan the position data of the roadway repair machine in the roadway, and the data is analyzed and processed in the industrial control computer, and the calculation results are transmitted to the controller for pose calculation. The controller collects data from the ultrasonic sensor and infrared sensor to complete the obstacle detection around the roadway repair machine. The roadway repair machine starts to move. During the movement, the robotic arm remains in the initial position. If a fault occurs during the movement, it stops running and plays the fault information through voice; if not, it keeps moving until the working location is reached.

[0054] When the roadway repair machine is milling and excavating the sealing groove, first of all, the roadway repair machine autonomously moves to the milling and excavating sealing groove location through the positioning and navigation function. Then, the operator uses an infrared laser pen to specify the starting point and height of the sealing groove. Then, the depth camera and high-definition camera take images of the starting point and height of the sealing groove excavation to obtain image point cloud data. The starting point and height coordinates of the sealing groove are obtained by using image recognition technology in the industrial control computer, and the obtained coordinate values are transmitted to the controller. Then, through the lidar, high-definition camera, various stroke sensors, and inclination sensor, and combined with the starting point and height coordinates of the sealing groove, the roadway repair machine autonomously adjusts the distance from the roadway wall and its attitude to achieve the optimal pose. Then, the roadway repair machine mills and excavates the sealing groove, and the controller adjusts the control parameters in real time according to the feedback data of the above-mentioned various sensors. Finally, the milling and excavation of the sealing groove is completed. For example, its shape is a rectangle with a side wall width of 1200 mm, a depth of 500 mm, an upper wall width of 1200 mm, and a depth of 300 mm.

[0055] It can be seen from the above description of the present invention that the roadway repair machine proposed by the present invention has functions such as robotic arm attitude perception function, vehicle body pose perception function, stepless speed regulation function, remote operation function, communication function, remote monitoring function, voice automatic alarm function, visual recognition function, and automatic milling and excavation of sealing groove function, etc. It can enable the roadway repair machine to automatically mill and excavate a sealing groove that meets the requirements. Compared with the prior art, it can effectively reduce the labor intensity of workers, reduce the harm of the environment to the workers' bodies, reduce the occurrence of safety accidents, and improve work efficiency.

[0056] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
