[0012] When the non-timed start signal is detected and neither the manual timed work plan nor the automatic timed work plan exists in the work plan list, the trigger time of the non-timed start signal is read.

[0013] When the non-timed start signal is detected, the automatic timed work plan exists in the work plan list, and the automatic timed work plan can be changed to the on mode, the trigger time of the non-timed start signal is read.

[0014] Optionally, when the lawnmower is detected to be in a charging connection state, the automatic timed work schedule changeable mode is set to on.

[0015] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0016] The automatic timed work plan is sent to the user terminal so that the user terminal can modify the automatic timed work plan when it receives a modification instruction, and then send the modified automatic timed work plan to the lawnmower.

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] Currently, most mainstream smart lawnmowers on the market can have their scheduled work plans set via smart devices such as smartphones or tablets using apps, or via the machine's own human-machine interface (HMI). The lawnmower then performs mowing tasks according to the scheduled plan. A common method is to set a weekly mowing schedule, allowing users to individually set the mowing time from Monday to Sunday. This is typically done through HMI modules such as touchscreens and / or button panels, which is somewhat cumbersome, or via an app. However, for users unfamiliar with or unskilled with smart devices or lawnmowers, setting a scheduled work plan using these conventional methods is difficult, making the machine more accessible. This invention provides a more convenient way to set a scheduled work plan, enabling those unfamiliar with operating smart lawnmowers or smart devices to use the machine more easily, greatly improving its usability.

[0047] The following combination Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a timed operation method for a lawnmower provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the method may include:

[0048] S101: When a manually scheduled work plan is received, the manually scheduled work plan is stored in the work plan list.

[0049] In this embodiment, the executing entity can generally be the main control module in the lawnmower; however, this embodiment does not limit the specific type of the main control module. A manual timed work plan generally refers to a timed work plan that requires manual user operation to set data such as the scheduled work date, start time, and duration. This embodiment does not limit the method of generating the received manual timed work plan; users can generally generate manual timed work plans through the lawnmower's human-machine interface module or through smart devices.

[0050] Specifically, users can operate the touchscreen or button panel of the lawnmower's human-machine interface module, or set a manual timed work schedule via an app on a smart device. Once set, the manual timed work schedule can be sent to the main control module. In this embodiment, when the main control module receives the manual timed work schedule, it can store it in the work schedule list.

[0051] This embodiment does not limit the number of timed work plans that can be stored in the work plan list; the number can be set according to the actual application scenario.

[0052] S102: When a non-timed start signal is detected and there is no manually timed work plan in the work plan list, read the trigger time of the non-timed start signal.

[0053] Generally, in timed operation mode, when the current time is detected as the self-start time in the timed work plan, a timed start signal can be generated to start the lawnmower to execute the timed work plan. In this embodiment, the non-timed start signal can be a start signal generated when a non-timed work plan is triggered. This embodiment does not limit the triggering method for generating the non-timed start signal; it can generally be triggered by the start button on the lawnmower or by a non-timed start signal being sent by a smart device.

[0054] In this embodiment, when a non-timed start signal is detected and there is no manually scheduled work plan in the work plan list, the trigger time of the non-timed start signal can be read. This embodiment provides a method to automatically generate a scheduled work plan without manually creating a scheduled work plan through a human-computer interaction module or smart device, i.e., by reading the trigger time of the non-timed start signal.

[0055] S103: Generate an automatic timed work plan based on the trigger time and preset rules, and store the automatic timed work plan in the work plan list.

[0056] This embodiment can automatically generate an automatic timed work plan based on a trigger time and preset rules, and store the automatic timed work plan in a work plan list. This embodiment is not limited to the specific method of generating the automatic timed work plan based on the trigger time and preset rules; generally, a weekly cyclical timed work plan can be generated, and this weekly cyclical timed work plan can be designated as the automatic timed work plan. First, the automatic work period can be determined, with the trigger time set as the lawnmower's self-start time, generating a weekly cyclical timed work plan starting from the self-start time and lasting for the duration of the automatic work period. An example of the weekly cyclical timed work plan in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the name of the weekly cyclical timed work plan can be autocreate, the daily start time can be 14:57, the automatic work period can be 8 hours, that is, the work task ends at 22:57 every day.

[0057] That is, in the weekly cycle of scheduled work, the machine starts working from the automatic start time every day from Monday to Sunday, and ends working when the working time reaches the automatic working period, and is executed in a weekly cycle.

[0058] This embodiment does not limit the method of determining the automatic working period. Generally, it can be determined whether the non-timed start signal is a signal generated when the start button and the number key are triggered simultaneously. That is, when the user turns on the machine, he / she can press the start button and the number key at the same time to generate a non-timed start signal. When the number key is triggered, it can generate an automatic working period setting signal at the same time. The automatic working period setting signal can be used to set the automatic working period.

[0059] If the non-timed start signal is generated when the start button and numeric keypad are triggered simultaneously, then the automatic working period setting signal generated simultaneously when the numeric keypad is triggered can be read, and the automatic working period can be determined based on the automatic working period setting signal. This embodiment is not limited to determining the automatic working period through the automatic working period setting signal. Generally, the automatic working period setting signal can carry the value of the numeric keypad. In this embodiment, this value can be used as the duration of the automatic working period. The time unit can be set based on the actual application, and is generally in hours. For example, if the non-timed start signal is generated when the start button and numeric keypad 6 are triggered simultaneously, then the automatic working period can be set to 6 hours.

[0060] If the non-timed start signal is not generated when the start button and numeric keypad are triggered synchronously, then the built-in preset time period can be read and determined as the automatic working period. This embodiment does not limit the length of the built-in preset time period, which is generally 8 hours.

[0061] S104: When the scheduled work mode is detected to be on, determine whether there is an activated manual scheduled work plan in the work plan list; if yes, execute S105; if no, execute S106.

[0062] S105: Execute the activated manual scheduled task.

[0063] S106: Execute the automatic timed work plan.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the timed working mode is detected as "start," the lawnmower enters a timed working state. At this time, it can be determined whether there is an activated manual timed work plan in the work plan list. If there is an activated manual timed work plan, it can be executed; if there is no activated manual timed work plan, the automatic timed work plan can be executed.

[0065] To ensure that the automatic timed work schedule meets user needs, this embodiment also provides a way to modify the automatic timed work schedule.

[0066] Generally, when a non-timed start signal is detected and there are no manual or automatic timed work plans in the work plan list, the trigger time of the non-timed start signal can be read, and a manual timed work plan can be generated based on the trigger time.

[0067] Furthermore, when a non-timed start signal is detected, an automatic timed work plan exists in the work plan list, and the automatic timed work plan's changeable mode is enabled, the trigger time of the non-timed start signal can be read. An automatic timed work plan is then generated based on this trigger time. That is, in this embodiment, even if an existing automatic timed work plan exists in the work plan list when the automatic timed work plan's changeable mode is enabled, this embodiment can still read the trigger time of the non-timed start signal and generate a new automatic timed work plan based on the trigger time, replacing the original automatic timed work plan in the work plan list with the new one. Furthermore, this embodiment can also modify the original automatic timed work plan in the work plan list based on the trigger time. Through the above methods, the purpose of modifying the timed work plan can be achieved.

[0068] This embodiment does not limit how to enter the automatic timed work schedule modification mode. Generally, when the lawnmower is detected to be in a charging connection state, the automatic timed work schedule modification mode can be set to "on". That is, if an automatic timed work schedule already exists in the lawnmower's work schedule list, and the user does not want to modify the start time of the automatic timed work schedule when manually starting the lawnmower, the user can place the lawnmower outside the charging station to start it.

[0069] In this embodiment, to improve the versatility of the lawnmower, the automatically generated automatic timed work plan can be sent to the user terminal. Upon receiving a modification command, the user terminal can modify the automatic timed work plan to generate a manual timed work plan, which is then sent to the lawnmower. For example, the automatic timed work plan can be edited via an app. Users can adjust the automatic start time and automatic work period of the automatic timed work plan using the touchscreen or buttons of a smart device. Furthermore, after the automatic timed work plan is created, users can also adjust the start time and work duration of the automatic timed work plan through the lawnmower's human-machine interface module. In this embodiment, if more detailed editing of the automatic timed work plan is required, such as selecting specific workdays to start the lawnmower, setting different work periods for different workdays, or modifying the timed work plan name, operation through a smart device is necessary.

[0070] Furthermore, considering that different regions may be in different time zones, in order to ensure that the lawnmower's scheduled work operates within the corresponding time zone, this embodiment can send a time calibration signal to the lawnmower, allowing the lawnmower to update its manual and automatic scheduled work plans based on the time calibration signal. This embodiment does not limit the method of generating the time calibration signal. Generally, users can send the time calibration signal through the lawnmower's human-machine interface module, or the lawnmower can request the time calibration signal from the server after connecting to the network, or users can send the time calibration signal to the lawnmower through a smart device.

[0071] Based on the above embodiments, when there is no manually scheduled work plan in the task list of the lawnmower, the method of the present invention can read the trigger time of the non-timed start signal and automatically generate an automatic scheduled work plan based on the trigger time, without having to manually set the scheduled work plan through the user terminal or the human-machine interface of the smart lawnmower, thus improving the convenience of using the lawnmower.

[0072] The following is a scenario implementation example based on a specific application scenario. In actual applications, the work plan list can generally exist in four states: only manual timed work plans exist, only automatic timed work plans exist, both manual and automatic timed work plans exist, and it is empty. The startup method can generally be divided into two types: timed startup and non-timed startup.

[0073] When a non-timed start signal is detected and the work plan list is empty, the trigger time of the non-timed start signal can be read, and an automatic timed work plan can be automatically generated based on the trigger time.

[0074] When a non-timed start signal is detected and the work plan list only contains manually timed work plans, the trigger time of the non-timed start signal can be read, and an automatic timed work plan can be automatically generated based on the trigger time. Alternatively, no automatic timed work plan can be generated; the specific settings can be configured according to the actual application.

[0075] When a non-timed start signal is detected and an automatic timed work plan exists in the work plan list (either only an automatic timed work plan exists or both a manual timed work plan and an automatic timed work plan exist), it can be further determined whether the automatic timed work plan can be changed in the on mode. If so, the trigger time of the non-timed start signal can be read, and a new automatic timed work plan can be generated based on the trigger time.

[0076] When the scheduled work mode is detected as on, check if there is an active manual scheduled work plan in the work plan list; if so, execute the active manual scheduled work plan; otherwise, execute the automatic scheduled work plan.

[0077] If the scheduled work mode is on, and the work plan list only contains the automatic scheduled work plan, then the automatic scheduled work plan will be executed.

[0078] If the scheduled work mode is on, the work plan list only contains manual scheduled work plans. Check if there is an activated manual scheduled work plan. If there is, execute the activated manual scheduled work plan. If not, a manual scheduled work plan can be randomly selected or the manual scheduled work plan at the top of the work plan list can be executed. Alternatively, a scheduled work plan selection request can be generated so that the user can activate the manual scheduled work plan after receiving the scheduled work plan selection request.

[0079] When a non-timed start signal is detected and the timed working mode is on, the lawnmower is started based on the non-timed start signal. When the working time reaches the end time of the timed work plan, the work task can be ended by the timed end signal of the timed work plan, or the lawnmower can continue to work. When a non-timed end signal is received, the work task ends.
