Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of facility agriculture, and relates to a high-precision navigation device and method for autonomous operation in a facility environment based on air-ground collaboration, which provides high-precision navigation and positioning for operation platforms such as transportation, plant protection, harvesting, and inspection in the facility environment. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the planting area of ​​facility agriculture has increased year by year, and its share in agricultural production has become increasingly larger. The use of intelligent and unmanned precise autonomous navigation operations can not only greatly liberate labor, but also improve work efficiency. Field agriculture is relatively easy to achieve unmanned operation because of its relatively simple production scenes and relatively mature navigation and positioning technologies such as GPS; however, the internal space of facility agriculture is relatively small, the scenes are relatively complex, and due to the shielding and attenuation of internal positioning signals caused by the facility frame structure and the multipath effect of communication signals, the positioning signal strength is greatly reduced, making it impossible to apply to precise positioning and navigation inside the facility. How to meet the high-precision navigation requirements required for autonomous operations such as farming, sowing, plant protection, harvesting, and logistics in facility agriculture is particularly important.

[0003] Through literature search of prior art, it was found that the invention patent with patent application number 202110137044.9 of "A monorail logistics vehicle with precise positioning for facility agriculture" uses navigation and positioning methods to lay tracks between the pillars on both sides of the facility greenhouse, so that the vehicle can travel along a fixed track. Although this method has good stability and high precision, it can only be operated on one side of the facility and cannot enter a single row to perform related operations. The invention patent with patent application number 201310670524.7 of "A visual navigation path recognition method for a greenhouse mobile robot" uses navigation and positioning methods to collect information from the camera and then process it to finally obtain navigation path information. Although this method has high precision and good real-time performance, the camera has a strong dependence on light, and it is difficult to achieve stable operation around the clock. The invention patent with patent application number 201811578485.7 of "Greenhouse autonomous operation navigation control device, method and controller" uses the time difference between the ultra-pulse width signal transmitted by the base station and the arrival of the mobile workbench to locate and navigate the mobile workbench. Although this method has good real-time performance, the dense crops inside the facility have a great interference with the signal, resulting in low positioning accuracy.

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the navigation and positioning of existing greenhouse facilities, it is urgent to invent high-precision navigation devices and methods for autonomous operations in the facility environment, so as to provide high-precision navigation and positioning for autonomous operation platforms such as transportation, plant protection, harvesting, and inspection in the facility environment. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the above shortcomings and provide a high-precision navigation device and method for autonomous operation in a facility environment based on air-ground collaboration. By building a movable electromagnetic wire above the greenhouse passage route of the facility and arranging a UWB positioning base station inside, high-precision navigation and positioning of the autonomous operation vehicle can be achieved in a complex facility environment.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The invention discloses a high-precision navigation device for autonomous operation in a facility environment based on air-ground collaboration, comprising an electromagnetic wire navigation system, an autonomous operation vehicle, a positioning system and a cloud platform. The electromagnetic wire navigation system is located above a planting plot in a greenhouse of the facility, and is used to plan an operation path of the autonomous operation vehicle so that the autonomous operation vehicle can travel along a prescribed route. The autonomous operation vehicle is located directly below the electromagnetic wire navigation system, and relies on the electromagnetic wire navigation system to complete high-precision operations in a facility environment. The positioning system is used to determine the plot position of the autonomous operation vehicle in the greenhouse of the facility, so as to determine the next operation route. The cloud platform connects the electromagnetic wire navigation system, the positioning system and multiple autonomous operation vehicles of different plots through a 4G or 5G network to realize centralized cloud-based control.

[0008] Furthermore, the electromagnetic wire navigation system includes a signal source generator and an electromagnetic wire. The signal source generator is connected to the electromagnetic wire to provide an electromagnetic signal to the electromagnetic wire. The electromagnetic wire is arranged above the passageway of the greenhouse facility so that a relatively stable magnetic field is generated around the electromagnetic wire.

[0009] Furthermore, the electromagnetic wire navigation system also includes a first movable pulley and a second movable pulley, the first movable pulley is connected to a first travel motor, the second movable pulley is connected to a second travel motor, wherein the electromagnetic wires in the east-west direction on the north side are fixed and cannot be moved, and the electromagnetic wires in the north-south direction on the east and west sides are fixed and cannot be moved, and the electromagnetic wires between the rows can be moved in the east-west direction driven by the first movable pulley and the second movable pulley, and the electromagnetic wires generate cross electromagnetic signals and right-angle electromagnetic signals through the first movable pulley and the second movable pulley;

[0010] The electromagnetic wire navigation system also includes a guide rail, which is fixed to the greenhouse frame of the facility. The first travel motor and the second travel motor are both installed on the guide rail and can move along the guide rail. A rack is provided inside the guide rail to cooperate with the first travel motor and the second travel motor to move precisely, and the electromagnetic wires between rows are driven to move horizontally through the first movable pulley and the second movable pulley.

[0011] Furthermore, the electromagnetic wire navigation system also includes a navigation system control terminal, which is connected to the signal source generator, the first travel motor and the second travel motor. The navigation system control terminal is remotely connected to the cloud platform, and receives control instructions from the cloud platform through remote wireless communication to realize the opening and closing of the signal source generator, and the forward rotation, reverse rotation and stop of the first travel motor and the second travel motor.

[0012] Furthermore, the electromagnetic wire navigation system also includes a fixed pulley fixed to the greenhouse frame of the facility. A certain pulley is arranged at each of the three corners of the electromagnetic wire. The electromagnetic wire passes through the fixed pulley, so that the electromagnetic wire in the east-west direction on the north side is turned into the north-south direction, and the electromagnetic wire in the north-south direction on the west side is turned into the east-west direction, thereby generating a right-angle electromagnetic signal at the bend.

[0013] Furthermore, the autonomous working vehicle comprises a chassis, on which a driving mechanism, a lifting mechanism and an electromagnetic detection sensor are fixed, the driving mechanism is used to drive the overall movement of the autonomous working vehicle to achieve forward and backward movement and turning on the spot; one end of the lifting mechanism is fixed on the chassis, and the other end is connected to the electromagnetic detection sensor, which is used to adjust the height of the electromagnetic detection sensor;

[0014] The autonomous work vehicle also includes an encoder and an autonomous work vehicle control terminal. The encoder records mileage during line patrol and integrates positioning system data to achieve precise positioning. One end of the autonomous work vehicle control terminal is connected to a drive mechanism, a lifting mechanism, an electromagnetic detection sensor and an encoder, and the other end is connected to a cloud platform. By receiving control instructions from the cloud platform, the autonomous work vehicle can move forward, backward and make right-angle turns, and upload the mileage data measured by the encoder to the cloud platform.

[0015] Furthermore, the electromagnetic detection sensor is installed on the center of the chassis through a lifting mechanism. When the autonomous work vehicle turns around the center of the chassis in situ, the electromagnetic detection sensor rotates synchronously around the center of the chassis. The electromagnetic detection sensor is located directly below the electromagnetic wire. A number of vertical inductors perpendicular to the electromagnetic wire are symmetrically arranged around the electromagnetic wire, and a number of parallel inductors parallel to the electromagnetic wire are symmetrically arranged around the electromagnetic wire. The vertical inductors are used to detect electromagnetic signals perpendicular to the electromagnetic detection sensors, and the parallel inductors are used to detect electromagnetic signals parallel to the electromagnetic detection sensors, so as to ensure the acquisition of signals when the device moves forward and turns in the direction of laying the electromagnetic wire.

[0016] Furthermore, the positioning system includes a UWB positioning module and a positioning system acquisition terminal. The UWB positioning module obtains the current position of the autonomous vehicle through the autonomous vehicle's own positioning tag and positioning base station, and integrates the mileage data measured by the encoder to achieve high-precision positioning of the autonomous vehicle in the plot operation area, and can accurately distinguish the plot number and the rough position of the automatic vehicle under the electromagnetic line; the positioning acquisition system terminal is connected to the UWB positioning module at one end and to the cloud platform at the other end, and is used to upload the position coordinates of the autonomous vehicle to the cloud platform.

[0017] Furthermore, the cloud platform includes an autonomous work vehicle path planning module, an aerial movable electromagnetic wire motion control module and an autonomous work vehicle control module. The autonomous work vehicle path planning module is used to calculate the real-time position of the autonomous work vehicle and the coordinates between the work plots, and plan the driving path of the autonomous work vehicle from the current position to the work plot; the aerial movable electromagnetic wire motion control module is used for the autonomous work vehicle to turn on the signal source generator in the electromagnetic wire navigation system of the local plot before entering the work plot, to move the electromagnetic wires between rows when the autonomous work vehicle moves between plots, and to turn off the signal source generator in the electromagnetic wire navigation system of the local plot after the autonomous work vehicle leaves the plot; the autonomous work vehicle control module is used to send control instructions to the autonomous work vehicle according to the planned driving path.

[0018] A navigation method for autonomous operation in a facility environment based on air-ground collaboration, the navigation method comprising the following steps:

[0019] Step 1, patrolling the magnetic wire and going straight: when the autonomous vehicle is patrolling the line and going straight along the working route, the vertical inductances on both sides of the electromagnetic detection sensor collect the magnitude of the magnetic flux on both sides, and the collected values ​​are normalized to determine the left and right positions of the autonomous vehicle relative to the electromagnetic wire. When the position deviates, the direction of travel of the autonomous vehicle is adjusted so that the autonomous vehicle moves forward in the direction in which the electromagnetic wire is erected; if the electromagnetic wire between the rows sags, the height of the electromagnetic detection sensor to the ground is adjusted by the lifting mechanism during the autonomous vehicle patrolling the line, so that the vertical distance between the electromagnetic detection sensor and the electromagnetic wire remains basically unchanged;

[0020] Step 2, cross-line electromagnetic signal steering: When the autonomous vehicle is working straight along the working route, the parallel inductances on both sides of the electromagnetic detection sensor collect the magnitude of the magnetic flux on both sides, and the collected values ​​are normalized to determine whether the autonomous vehicle has reached the cross-line electromagnetic signal. When the magnetic flux on both sides gradually increases, it means that the autonomous vehicle is close to the cross-line electromagnetic signal. When the magnetic flux on both sides reaches the maximum, it means that the autonomous vehicle is directly below the cross-line electromagnetic signal. At this time, the autonomous vehicle rotates 90° around the center of the chassis to turn;

[0021] Step 3, horizontal movement of the electromagnetic wires between the rows: the first travel motor rotates forward, drives the electromagnetic wires between the rows on the east side to move horizontally eastward through the first movable pulley, the first travel motor stops, and the electromagnetic wires between the rows on the east side stop moving; the first travel motor rotates reversely, drives the electromagnetic wires between the rows to move horizontally westward through the first movable pulley, the first travel motor stops, and the electromagnetic wires between the rows on the east side stop moving; the second travel motor rotates forward, drives the electromagnetic wires between the rows on the west side to move horizontally eastward through the second movable pulley, the second travel motor stops, and the electromagnetic wires between the rows on the west side stop moving; the second travel motor rotates reversely, drives the electromagnetic wires between the rows on the west side to move horizontally westward through the second movable pulley, the second travel motor stops, and the electromagnetic wires between the rows on the west side stop moving;

[0022] Step 4, right-angle electromagnetic signal steering: When the autonomous vehicle is working straight along the working route, the parallel inductances on both sides of the electromagnetic detection sensor collect the magnitude of the magnetic flux on both sides, and the collected values ​​are normalized to determine whether the autonomous vehicle has reached the right-angle electromagnetic signal. When only one side of the magnetic flux gradually increases, it means that the autonomous vehicle is close to the right-angle electromagnetic signal. When the magnetic flux on one side reaches the maximum, it means that the autonomous vehicle is directly below the right-angle electromagnetic signal. At this time, the autonomous vehicle rotates 90° around the center of the chassis to turn;

[0023] Step 5, driving following the right-angle electromagnetic signal: when the autonomous vehicle detects that the right-angle electromagnetic signal of the electromagnetic wire between the rows turns, the electromagnetic wire between the rows moves horizontally westward or eastward. At this time, the right-angle electromagnetic signal moves horizontally westward or eastward along the moving direction of the electromagnetic wire, and the autonomous vehicle drives following the right-angle electromagnetic signal;

[0024] Step 6, positioning information fusion: During the movement of the autonomous vehicle, the UWB positioning tag 10 of the autonomous vehicle interacts with the positioning base station 9 to determine the current approximate position of the autonomous vehicle. The encoder on the autonomous vehicle records the precise mileage of the autonomous vehicle. When reaching the turning point of each row, that is, when the electromagnetic detection sensor detects a cross electromagnetic signal or a right-angle electromagnetic signal, the mileage of the encoder is automatically calibrated according to the actual distance of each row to ensure the accuracy of the mileage recorded by the encoder. When the autonomous vehicle loses power and resets, the UWB positioning system can provide the approximate position of the device. The controller preliminarily assigns a value to the encoder based on the approximate position. When waiting for the next turning point, the mileage of the encoder is calibrated to ensure the accuracy of the positioning of the autonomous vehicle.

[0025] Step 7, entering the operation area: When the operation starts, the staff determines the operation area of ​​the device on the cloud platform. The cloud platform determines the initial position of the operation based on the pre-set internal plot scene map of the facility greenhouse. The cloud platform sends the data string containing the initial position point of the operation to the autonomous operation vehicle. The control terminal of the autonomous operation vehicle parses the received data string and plans the driving route.

[0026] The process of the autonomous vehicle entering the working plot ij (i≤m,j≤n) from the initial position is as follows: the autonomous vehicle drives along the electromagnetic wire on the north side of plot 1-1. When the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 2# right-angle electromagnetic signal, it continues to drive forward and enters the electromagnetic signal blind spot. At this time, the electromagnetic detection sensor cannot detect the electromagnetic signal, and the autonomous vehicle continues to move forward; when the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 2# right-angle electromagnetic signal of plot 2-1, it means entering plot 2-1. The autonomous vehicle continues to search for the electromagnetic wire and goes straight, and enters the next plot in the above manner; when the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the right-angle electromagnetic signal of plot i-1, the autonomous vehicle rotates 90° clockwise around the chassis. At this time, the electromagnetic wire in the north-south direction on the west side of plot i-1 is just within the signal detection range of the electromagnetic detection sensor. The autonomous vehicle patrols the line; when the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 1# right-angle electromagnetic signal of plot i-2, it indicates that the autonomous vehicle has entered plot i-2, and the autonomous vehicle continues to move forward; in the above manner, it enters the next plot; when the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 5# right-angle electromagnetic signal, the autonomous vehicle continues to move forward and enters the electromagnetic signal blind spot. At this time, the electromagnetic detection sensor cannot detect the electromagnetic signal, and the autonomous vehicle continues to move forward; when the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 1# right-angle electromagnetic signal of plot ij, it indicates that the autonomous vehicle has entered plot ij, and the autonomous vehicle rotates 90° counterclockwise around the center of the chassis and waits for the next instruction. At this time, the electromagnetic wires between the left rows of the operation plot ij move to the left of the first row aisle, and the electromagnetic wires between the right rows move to just above the first row aisle;

[0027] Step 8, enter the inter-row operation: the autonomous operation vehicle patrols the electromagnetic wires on the north side. When the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 1# cross electromagnetic signal, the autonomous operation vehicle continues to move forward; when the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 2# cross electromagnetic signal, the autonomous operation vehicle rotates 90° clockwise around the center of the chassis and turns to enter the 1st aisle, and the autonomous operation vehicle patrols the electromagnetic wires between the rows; when the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 3# right-angle electromagnetic signal, the autonomous operation vehicle rotates 90° counterclockwise around the center of the chassis and turns; the first travel motor rotates forward, and drives the electromagnetic wires between the rows and the 3# right-angle electromagnetic signal to move eastward through the first movable pulley, and the autonomous operation vehicle follows the 3# right-angle electromagnetic signal; when the electromagnetic wires between the rows move to just above the 2nd aisle, The first travel motor stops, and the 3# right-angle electromagnetic signal is at the south end of the 2nd aisle; when the autonomous vehicle moves to the bottom of the 3# right-angle electromagnetic signal, it rotates 90° counterclockwise around the center of the chassis and turns to enter the 2nd aisle, and the autonomous vehicle patrols the electromagnetic wires between the rows; when the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 2# cross electromagnetic signal, the autonomous vehicle rotates 90° clockwise around the chassis and turns to stop; the first travel motor rotates forward, and drives the electromagnetic wires between the rows and the 2# cross electromagnetic signal to move horizontally eastward through the first movable pulley. When the electromagnetic wires between the rows move to the top of the 3rd aisle, the first travel motor stops, and the 2# cross electromagnetic signal is at the north end of the 3rd aisle; the autonomous vehicle patrols the electromagnetic wires on the north side and enters the next cycle;

[0028] At this time, if there is another working vehicle patrolling the electromagnetic wires between the rows on the west side of the plot ij, its movement process refers to step 8. The electromagnetic wires between the rows on the west side are always on the left of the electromagnetic wires between the rows on the east side. The autonomous working vehicle patrols the electromagnetic wires on the north side. When the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 1# cross electromagnetic signal, the autonomous working vehicle rotates 90° clockwise around the center of the chassis and turns to enter the 1st row aisle. The autonomous working vehicle patrols the electromagnetic wires between the rows; when the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 4# right-angle electromagnetic signal, the autonomous working vehicle rotates 90° counterclockwise around the center of the chassis and turns to stop; the second traveling motor rotates forward, and drives the electromagnetic wires between the rows and the 4# right-angle electromagnetic signal to move horizontally to the east through the second movable pulley; when the electromagnetic wires between the rows move to just above the 2nd row aisle, the second traveling motor stops. Stop, 4# right-angle electromagnetic signal is at the south end of the 2nd aisle; at this time, the autonomous vehicle patrols the line and goes straight. When the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 4# right-angle electromagnetic signal, the autonomous vehicle rotates 90° counterclockwise around the center of the chassis and turns to enter the 2nd aisle. The autonomous vehicle patrols the electromagnetic wires between the rows; when the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 2# cross electromagnetic signal, the autonomous vehicle rotates 90° clockwise around the chassis and turns to stop; the second travel motor rotates forward, and drives the electromagnetic wires between the rows and the 1# cross electromagnetic signal to move horizontally eastward through the second movable pulley. When the electromagnetic wires between the rows move to just above the 3rd aisle, the second travel motor stops, and the 1# cross electromagnetic signal is at the north end of the 3rd aisle; the autonomous vehicle patrols the electromagnetic wires on the north side and enters the next cycle;

[0029] Step 9, return to the initial position: After the automatic operation vehicle completes the operation on plot ij, it patrols back to the 1# right-angle electromagnetic signal, rotates 90 degrees clockwise around the center of the chassis, and continues to drive forward into the electromagnetic signal blind spot. At this time, the electromagnetic detection sensor cannot detect the electromagnetic signal, and the autonomous operation vehicle continues to move forward; when the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 5# right-angle electromagnetic signal of plot i-(j-1), it indicates that it has entered the plot i-(j-1) and continues to patrol the electromagnetic line; according to the above method, it enters the next plot; after entering plot i-1, ... When the sensor detects the 1# right-angle electromagnetic signal of plot i-1, it rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise around the center of the chassis and continues to move forward into the blind spot of the electromagnetic signal. At this time, the electromagnetic detection sensor cannot detect the electromagnetic signal, and the autonomous vehicle continues to move forward; when the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 2# right-angle electromagnetic signal of plot (i-1)-1, it indicates entering the plot i-(j-1) and continues to patrol the line and go straight, and enters the next plot in the above manner; when the electromagnetic detection sensor detects the 1# right-angle electromagnetic signal of plot 1-1, the autonomous vehicle returns to its initial position.

When the position deviates, adjust the direction of the autonomous vehicle 13 so that the autonomous vehicle 13 moves along the direction of the electromagnetic wire 2. If the electromagnetic wire 2 between the rows sags, the height of the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 above the ground is adjusted by the lifting mechanism 14 during the autonomous vehicle 13 patrolling the line, so that the vertical distance between the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 and the electromagnetic wire 2 remains basically unchanged.

[0054] Step 2, cross-line electromagnetic signal steering navigation: When the autonomous work vehicle 13 is working straight along the work route, the parallel inductors 12 on both sides of the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 collect the magnitude of the magnetic flux on both sides, and normalize the collected values ​​to determine whether the autonomous work vehicle 13 has reached the cross-line electromagnetic signal. When the magnetic flux on both sides gradually increases, it means that the autonomous work vehicle 13 is close to the cross-line electromagnetic signal. When the magnetic flux on both sides reaches the maximum, it means that the autonomous work vehicle 13 is directly below the cross-line electromagnetic signal. At this time, the autonomous work vehicle 13 rotates 90° around the center of the chassis to turn.

[0055] Step 3, horizontal movement of the electromagnetic wires 2 between the rows: the first travel motor 4 rotates forward, and drives the electromagnetic wires 2 between the rows on the east side to move horizontally eastward through the first movable pulley 3, the first travel motor 4 stops, and the electromagnetic wires 2 between the rows on the east side stop moving; the first travel motor 4 reverses, and drives the electromagnetic wires 2 between the rows to move horizontally westward through the first movable pulley 3, the first travel motor 4 stops, and the electromagnetic wires 2 between the rows on the east side stop moving; the second travel motor 6 rotates forward, and drives the electromagnetic wires 2 between the rows on the west side to move horizontally eastward through the second movable pulley 5, the second travel motor 6 stops, and the electromagnetic wires 2 between the rows on the west side stop moving; the second travel motor 6 reverses, and drives the electromagnetic wires 2 between the rows on the west side to move horizontally westward through the second movable pulley 5, the second travel motor 6 stops, and the electromagnetic wires 2 between the rows on the west side stop moving;

[0056] Step 4, right-angle electromagnetic signal steering navigation: When the autonomous work vehicle 13 is working straight along the work route, the parallel inductors 12 on both sides of the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 collect the magnitude of the magnetic flux on both sides, and normalize the collected values ​​to determine whether the autonomous work vehicle 13 has reached the right-angle electromagnetic signal. When only one side of the magnetic flux gradually increases, it means that the autonomous work vehicle 13 is close to the right-angle electromagnetic signal. When the magnetic flux on one side reaches the maximum, it means that the autonomous work vehicle 13 is directly below the right-angle electromagnetic signal. At this time, the autonomous work vehicle 13 rotates 90° around the center of the chassis to turn.

[0057] Step 5, navigation by following right-angle electromagnetic signals: When the autonomous working vehicle 13 detects that the right-angle electromagnetic signal of the electromagnetic wires 2 between the rows turns, the electromagnetic wires 2 between the rows move horizontally westward or eastward. At this time, the right-angle electromagnetic signal moves horizontally westward or eastward along the movement direction of the electromagnetic wires 2, and the autonomous working vehicle 13 follows the right-angle electromagnetic signal.

[0058] Step 6, positioning information fusion: During the movement of the autonomous vehicle 13, the UWB positioning tag 10 of the autonomous vehicle 13 interacts with the positioning base station 9 to determine the current approximate position of the autonomous vehicle 13. The encoder on the autonomous vehicle 13 records the precise mileage of the autonomous vehicle 13. When it reaches the turning point of each row, that is, when the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects a cross electromagnetic signal or a right-angle electromagnetic signal, the mileage of the encoder is automatically calibrated according to the actual distance of each row to ensure the accuracy of the mileage recorded by the encoder. When the autonomous vehicle 13 loses power and resets, the UWB positioning system can provide the approximate position of the device. The controller preliminarily assigns a value to the encoder based on the approximate position. When waiting for the next turning point, the mileage of the encoder is calibrated to ensure the accuracy of the positioning of the autonomous vehicle 13.

[0059] Step 7, enter the operation area navigation: When the operation starts, the staff determines the operation area of ​​the device on the cloud platform. The cloud platform determines the initial position of the operation based on the pre-set internal plot scene map of the facility greenhouse. The cloud platform sends the data string containing the initial position point of the operation to the autonomous operation vehicle 13. The control terminal of the autonomous operation vehicle parses the received data string and plans the driving route.

[0060] The process of the autonomous working vehicle 13 entering the working plot ij (i≤m, j≤n) from the initial position is as follows: the autonomous working vehicle 13 travels along the electromagnetic wire 2 on the north side of the plot 1-1. When the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects the 2# right-angle electromagnetic signal, it continues to travel forward and enters the electromagnetic signal blind spot. At this time, the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 cannot detect the electromagnetic signal, and the autonomous working vehicle 13 continues to move forward; when the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects the 2# right-angle electromagnetic signal of the plot 2-1, it indicates that it has entered the plot 2-1. The autonomous working vehicle 13 continues to search for the electromagnetic wire 2 and goes straight, and enters the next plot in the above manner; when the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects the right-angle electromagnetic signal of the plot i-1, the autonomous working vehicle 13 rotates 90° clockwise around the chassis and turns. At this time, the north-south direction on the west side of the plot i-1 The electromagnetic wire 2 is just within the signal detection range of the electromagnetic detection sensor 15, and the autonomous vehicle 13 is patrolling the line; when the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects the 1# right-angle electromagnetic signal of plot i-2, it indicates that the autonomous vehicle has entered plot i-2, and the autonomous vehicle 13 continues to move forward; in the above manner, it enters the next plot; when the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects the 5# right-angle electromagnetic signal, the autonomous vehicle 13 continues to move forward and enters the electromagnetic signal blind spot. At this time, the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 cannot detect the electromagnetic signal, and the autonomous vehicle 13 continues to move forward; when the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects the 1# right-angle electromagnetic signal of plot ij, it indicates that the autonomous vehicle 13 has entered plot ij, and the autonomous vehicle rotates 90° counterclockwise around the center of the chassis and waits for the next instruction. At this time, the electromagnetic wire 2 between the left rows of the operation plot ij moves to the left of the first row aisle, and the electromagnetic wire 2 between the right rows moves to just above the first row aisle.

[0061] Step 8, enter the row-to-row operation navigation: the autonomous operation vehicle 13 patrols the electromagnetic wire 2 on the north side, and when the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects the 1# cross electromagnetic signal, the autonomous operation vehicle continues to move forward; when the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects the 2# cross electromagnetic signal, the autonomous operation vehicle 13 rotates 90° clockwise around the center of the chassis and turns to enter the 1st aisle, and the autonomous operation vehicle 13 patrols the electromagnetic wire 2 between the rows; when the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects the 3# right-angle electromagnetic signal, the autonomous operation vehicle 13 rotates 90° counterclockwise around the center of the chassis and turns; the first travel motor 4 rotates forward, and drives the electromagnetic wire 2 and the 3# right-angle electromagnetic signal between the rows to move eastward through the first movable pulley 3, and the autonomous operation vehicle 13 follows the 3# right-angle electromagnetic signal; when the electromagnetic wire 2 between the rows moves to the top of the 2nd aisle When the autonomous vehicle 13 moves to the right below the 3# right-angle electromagnetic signal, it rotates 90° counterclockwise around the center of the chassis and turns to enter the 2# aisle. The autonomous vehicle 13 patrols the electromagnetic wire 2 between the rows. When the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects the 2# cross electromagnetic signal, the autonomous vehicle 13 rotates 90° clockwise around the chassis and turns to stop. The first traveling motor 4 rotates forward, driving the electromagnetic wire 2 between the rows and the 2# cross electromagnetic signal to move horizontally eastward through the first movable pulley 3. When the electromagnetic wire 2 between the rows moves to the top of the 3# aisle, the first traveling motor 4 stops, and the 2# cross electromagnetic signal is at the north end of the 3# aisle. The autonomous vehicle 13 patrols the electromagnetic wire 2 on the north side and enters the next cycle.

[0062] At this time, if there is another working vehicle patrolling the electromagnetic wire 2 between the rows on the west side of the plot ij, its movement process refers to step 8, and the electromagnetic wire 2 between the rows on the west side is always on the left of the electromagnetic wire 2 between the rows on the east side. The autonomous working vehicle 13 patrols the electromagnetic wire 2 on the north side. When the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects the 1# cross electromagnetic signal, the autonomous working vehicle 13 rotates 90° clockwise around the center of the chassis and turns to enter the 1st row aisle. The autonomous working vehicle 13 patrols the electromagnetic wire 2 between the rows; when the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects the 4# right-angle electromagnetic signal, the autonomous working vehicle 13 rotates 90° counterclockwise around the center of the chassis and turns to stop; the second travel motor 6 rotates forward, and drives the electromagnetic wire 2 between the rows and the 4# right-angle electromagnetic signal to move horizontally to the east through the second movable pulley 5; when the electromagnetic wire 2 between the rows moves to just above the 2nd row aisle, the second travel motor 6 stops, and the 4# right-angle electromagnetic signal is at the south end of the 2nd row aisle; at this time, the autonomous working vehicle 13 patrols the line Go straight, when the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects the 4# right-angle electromagnetic signal, the autonomous work vehicle 13 rotates 90° counterclockwise around the center of the chassis and turns to enter the 2nd aisle of the row, and the autonomous work vehicle 13 patrols the electromagnetic wire 2 between the rows; when the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects the 2# cross electromagnetic signal, the autonomous work vehicle 13 rotates 90° clockwise around the chassis and turns to stop; the second travel motor 6 rotates forward, and drives the electromagnetic wires between the rows and the 1# cross electromagnetic signal to move horizontally eastward through the second movable pulley 5. When the electromagnetic wire 2 between the rows moves to just above the 3rd aisle, the second travel motor 6 stops, and the 1# cross electromagnetic signal is at the north end of the 3rd aisle; the autonomous work vehicle 13 patrols the electromagnetic wire 2 on the north side and enters the next cycle.

[0063] Step 9, return to the initial position navigation: After the automatic operation vehicle completes the operation on the plot ij, it patrols back to the 1# right-angle electromagnetic signal, rotates 90 degrees clockwise around the center of the chassis, and continues to drive forward into the electromagnetic signal blind spot. At this time, the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 cannot detect the electromagnetic signal, and the autonomous operation vehicle 13 continues to move forward; when the electromagnetic detection sensor 15 detects the 5# right-angle electromagnetic signal of the plot i-(j-1), it indicates that it has entered the plot i-(j-1) and continues to patrol the electromagnetic line 2; according to the above method, it enters the next plot; after entering the plot i-1, when the electromagnetic detection sensor When the sensor 15 detects the 1# right-angle electromagnetic signal of plot i-1, it rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise around the center of the chassis and continues to move forward into the blind spot of the electromagnetic signal.
