DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The exemplary embodiments, features and aspects of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference signs in the drawings represent functionally identical or similar elements. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated.

[0038] The embodiments of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, mainly introducing the structural features, working modes and main functions of the embodiments.

[0039] Specifically, the application provides an intelligent sports field marking robot, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, it comprises a vehicle body and a walking module arranged at the bottom of the vehicle body, the vehicle body is provided with an RTK mobile station 15, a battery 2, a control module 3, an obstacle avoidance module 14, a spraying module and a boundary rope adjustment module 22, the front end of the vehicle body is provided with an anti-collision device 13, the rear end of the vehicle body is provided with a display device 16, and the bottom of the vehicle body is provided with an inertial navigation module 1.

[0040] As shown in the figure, Figure 1 The inertial navigation module 1 is installed at the chassis at the bottom of the mobile robot, and the RTK mobile station 15 is installed at the top of the vehicle body and connected with the human-computer interaction module in a wireless manner. The interaction terminal is used to import the graphics of the drawn pattern and set the position coordinates of the RTK mobile station 15. At the same time, the obstacle points can also be preset on the interaction terminal. The specific operation needs to control the vehicle body to drive to the position with the obstacle point and mark the position coordinates at the same time. In this way, the vehicle body can avoid the obstacles marked in advance when working.

[0041] The obstacle avoidance radar 14 is installed at the front side of the vehicle body and used to detect the obstacles on the advancing route when advancing. The obstacle avoidance radar 14 is connected with the control module 3. When detecting the obstacles in front, the obstacle avoidance radar 14 feeds back the information to the control module 3 in time, and the control module 3 controls the driving motor to stop rotating to avoid the vehicle body colliding with the obstacles. The emergency stop button 4 is used for emergency stop in emergency situations to avoid accidents.

[0042] The anti-collision device 13 comprises an anti-collision beam 19 and a limit switch 20. The anti-collision beam 19 is mainly used to reduce the damage of the mobile robot when colliding with obstacles during rework. The limit switch 20 is used to feed back the collision information to the control module 3. When the mobile robot collides with the obstacles, the anti-collision beam 19 will be squeezed, which will trigger the limit switch 20 inside the anti-collision beam 19 and feed back the information to the control module 3 to control the mobile robot to stop.

[0043] The display device 16 is used to display the real-time electric energy of the vehicle body, which is convenient for observing the electric quantity of the vehicle body. The vehicle body can be charged in time when the electric quantity is insufficient to avoid power failure causing the mobile robot to stop working. The mobile robot adopts 4-wheel support. The front two wheels are driving wheels 18 which are driven to rotate by driving motors. The rear two wheels are universal wheels 17. The universal wheels 17 move together with the driving wheels 18. The rear wheels adopt the universal wheels 17 to make the turning more convenient during advancing and also can smoothly pass through the complex road surface. The indicator light 23 is used to observe the working condition of the mobile robot. When the mobile robot works normally, the indicator light 23 is green. When the liquid in the mobile robot is less, the indicator light 23 is orange. When the mobile robot fails, the indicator light 23 is red.

[0044] The spraying module comprises a liquid tank 6, a pressurizing pump 5, a nozzle 7 and a line width adjusting device. One end of the pressurizing pump 5 is connected with the liquid tank 6 through a conduit, the liquid tank 6 is sealed, and the spraying module is controlled by a paint spraying switch 21 on the top of the mobile robot. In this embodiment, the line width adjusting device is a set screw 8, which is installed on the crossbeam in front of the nozzle 7 and is used to adjust the width between the two side baffles 9 of the nozzle 7, thereby controlling the line width.

[0045] The baffles 9 are rotatably installed on the two sides of the nozzle 7 and can swing up and down freely when obstacles are encountered during the movement, thereby controlling the line width.

[0046] The boundary rope adjusting module 22 is installed on the bottom of the vehicle body, as shown in Figs. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The mechanism comprises two groups of driving units and a mounting plate 221, the two groups of driving units are used to pull and place the boundary rope, each group of driving units comprises one driving flat wheel 10 and one adjustable groove wheel 11. The mounting plate 221 is fixed to the bottom of the vehicle body, the driving flat wheel 10 is rotatably connected with the mounting plate 221 and is driven to rotate by a driving motor, the adjustable groove wheel 11 is arranged inside the mounting plate 221, the distance between the two adjustable groove wheels 11 of the two groups of driving units can be adjusted, the two adjustable groove wheels 11 are connected by a connecting plate 222, the side surface of the connecting plate 222 is provided with an adjusting screw 12, the screw of the adjusting screw 12 is fixedly connected with the connecting plate 222 after penetrating through the mounting plate 221, and rotating the adjusting screw 12 can drive the connecting plate 222 to move, thereby further driving the adjustable groove wheel 11 to move, so as to adjust the distance between the two adjustable groove wheels 11 of the two groups of driving units. The two ends of the adjustable groove wheel 11 are provided with slot openings 111 for the boundary rope to pass through.

[0047] In use, the gap between the two adjustable groove wheels 11 of the two groups of driving units can be adjusted by the adjusting screw 12 on the side surface of the adjustable groove wheel 11. In work, the rope is sent between the two adjustable groove wheels 11, the driving flat wheel 10 is driven to rotate by the driving motor, then the rope is wound into the track by the friction force, and the rope is delivered out from the other end, and the movement track of the mobile robot is the shape after the rope is adjusted. In addition, the boundary rope adjusting module 22 can also be freely disassembled according to the use purpose. If the boundary rope adjustment is not needed, the boundary rope adjusting module 22 can not be installed, and at this time the robot can be used as a simple line drawing robot. If both line drawing and boundary rope adjustment are needed, the boundary rope adjusting module 22 can be installed, and the boundary rope can be adjusted while the line drawing is completed.

[0048] The application also provides a boundary rope adjusting method, which comprises the following steps:

[0049] As Figure 6 shown, the robot starts to move the rope, because the boundary rope in the node before the rope is moved longer than the length after the rope is moved, resulting in the possibility of the boundary rope gathering when the robot gradually moves to the node. In order to prevent the boundary rope from gathering when the robot moves the rope, the following calculates and designs the robot rope moving track, so that the length of the boundary rope from the starting point to the node is equal, so the robot needs to move backward for a distance to offset the missing distance after moving the rope. Set the shape of the boundary rope as an ellipse, the long axis length is 2a=150m, the short axis length is 2b=120m, and the boundary rope length is L=440m. When moving from the fourth lane to the first lane, the robot needs to cross x3=3 lanes, and the direction moving distance is L3=9.39m. Similarly, the x 2= 2, L2=6.25m, x1=1, L1=3.13m.

[0050] The expression of the robot reverse motion fitting curve calculated by Lagrange interpolation is:

[0051] y=0.01x 2 +3.09x+0.03;

[0052] When the robot moves the rope, the number of lanes to be crossed is input into the interactive terminal 1, and the control module 3 calculates the distance to be moved backward according to the derived analytical expression.

[0053] The above-described embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the scope of the present application. Without departing from the design spirit of the present application, various modifications and improvements to the technical solutions of the present application made by those skilled in the art shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
