Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent transport equipment control systems, and in particular to a double-vehicle linkage docking method and a medium in which left and right reflective plates are arranged at the front end of a rear vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In the field of heavy-load AGVs, the omnidirectional motion model is a mobile chassis with a more flexible motion effect. Among the omnidirectional motion models, the four-steering wheel model has the characteristics of high precision, heavy load and simple control.

[0003] In the field of heavy-load AGVs, most of the large equipment that actually needs to be transported are overweight, overlong, and overwide. In this context, the limitations of single-vehicle transportation have gradually become apparent, and the split-type double-vehicle linkage transportation solution has been proposed and applied to a certain extent.

[0004] In the current main technical solutions for docking two vehicles before linkage, the position accuracy of the front and rear vehicles cannot be guaranteed during manual remote control, which affects the accuracy of the two-vehicle linkage. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a method and medium for docking two vehicles in linkage, which has the characteristic of improving the docking accuracy before the two vehicles are linked.

[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment provides a dual-vehicle linkage docking method, which is applied to a front-rear dual-vehicle linkage system, wherein the front-rear dual-vehicle linkage system includes a front vehicle and a rear vehicle in a traveling direction; wherein a laser radar is disposed at the rear end of the front vehicle and left and right reflectors are disposed at the front end of the rear vehicle, or, the left and right reflectors are disposed at the rear end of the front vehicle and the laser radar is disposed at the front end of the rear vehicle; the method includes:

[0021] The present invention is further described in detail below by specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Wherein similar elements in different embodiments adopt associated similar element numbers. In the following embodiments, many detailed descriptions are for making the present application better understood. However, those skilled in the art can easily recognize that some features can be omitted in different situations, or can be replaced by other elements, materials, methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification, this is to avoid the core part of the present application being overwhelmed by too much description, and for those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail, and they can fully understand the related operations according to the description in the specification and the general technical knowledge in the art.

[0022] In addition, the features, operations or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate manner to form various implementations. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can also be interchanged or adjusted in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and the drawings are only for the purpose of clearly describing a certain embodiment and are not meant to be a required sequence, unless otherwise specified that a certain sequence must be followed.

[0023] The serial numbers assigned to the components herein, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the objects described and do not have any order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0024] To facilitate the description of the inventive concept of the present application, the dual-vehicle linkage technology is briefly described below.

[0025] In the current dual-vehicle linkage scheme, most of them use cameras to identify the laser beam emitted by the laser beacon transmitter to obtain the position deviation of the two vehicles, and use a laser rangefinder to obtain the distance deviation of the two vehicles, so as to achieve linkage control based on these two deviations. However, the applicant found in the research that in this type of scheme, on the one hand, it is affected by the camera's viewing angle, and the range of the position deviation of the two vehicles that can be identified is limited, and a two-dimensional turntable is required to rotate the laser beacon transmitter for auxiliary identification; on the other hand, the camera cannot obtain the actual position and angle deviation of the two vehicles, and can only judge the deviation direction and estimate the deviation size through the pixel point difference. Therefore, it is impossible to solve the specific vehicle motion model speed, which also leads to low docking accuracy before the dual-vehicle linkage.

[0026] In view of this, the present application provides a dual-vehicle linkage docking method and medium, which can obtain the coordinates and angles of the control center point of the rear vehicle in the coordinate system of the control center of the front vehicle based on the recognition of the left and right reflectors on the other vehicle by the laser radar on one vehicle, and obtain the coordinates and angles that are expected to be maintained, thereby obtaining the relative coordinates and angles, and then obtaining the speed, perpendicular speed and angular velocity in the same direction as the front direction of the rear vehicle that need to be controlled for docking, thereby achieving high-precision docking before the linkage of the two vehicles by solving the vehicle motion model speed.

[0027] In order to better explain the dual-vehicle linkage docking method, the following first describes the front and rear dual-vehicle linkage system used. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this front and rear double-vehicle linkage system, the following can be used: Figure 1 The linkage system of the rear vehicle identification reflector shown in FIG. Figure 2 The linkage system of the front vehicle identification reflector shown in FIG. Figure 1 In the linkage system for rear vehicle identification reflectors shown in the figure, the rear end of the front vehicle is provided with left and right reflectors and the front end of the rear vehicle is provided with a laser radar. Figure 2 In the linkage system for the front vehicle to identify the reflector, a laser radar is provided at the rear end of the front vehicle and left and right reflectors are provided at the front end of the rear vehicle. The laser radar can rotate to emit laser to the left and right reflectors. In one embodiment, the laser radar can rotate 360 ​​degrees.

[0028] Since the laser radar can obtain the light intensity value of the reflected laser beam based on the reflectivity of the scanned object, and according to physical properties, the reflectivity of the reflector to light is significantly higher than that of other materials, the laser radar can identify the left and right reflectors installed symmetrically along the central axis of the vehicle body.

[0029] By filtering out other laser beams except the reflector according to the light intensity value, the coordinates of the left and right reflectors in the laser radar coordinate system can be directly obtained.

[0030] In one embodiment, the front and rear dual-vehicle linkage system also includes a remote control, and the front vehicle control center or the rear vehicle control center receives the control command of the remote control, and calculates the control parameters based on the control command and the relative positions of the two vehicles, thereby realizing the docking of the dual-vehicle linkage based on the calculated control parameters.

[0031] In one embodiment, the remote control command of the remote controller includes controlling the angular velocity, the velocity in the same direction as the vehicle head direction, and the velocity perpendicular to the vehicle head direction.

[0032] For the front and rear dual-vehicle linkage system based on any of the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 A dual-vehicle linkage docking method includes:

[0041] In this way, the necessary conditions for converting the front vehicle control center coordinate system O4 to the rear vehicle control center coordinate system O1 have been obtained, that is, the origin coordinates of the front vehicle control center system O4 are converted to the left and right reflector symmetry center coordinate system O3, and then the coordinates of the left and right reflector symmetry center coordinate system O3 are converted to the laser radar coordinate system O2, and finally the coordinates of the laser radar coordinate system O2 are converted to the rear vehicle control center coordinate system O1.

[0042] It is known (from the mechanical parameters) that the coordinates of the origin of the control center coordinate system O4 of the front vehicle in the symmetric center coordinate system O3 of the left and right reflectors are P5 ( , , ), create a new coordinate system with the same origin as O3 and the direction as New coordinate system .

The control center coordinate system of the front vehicle has the same direction as the symmetric center coordinate system of the left and right reflectors. When the front vehicle and the rear vehicle are aligned front and back, the symmetric center coordinate system of the left and right reflectors has the same direction as the radar coordinate system, and the control center coordinate system of the rear vehicle has the same direction as the radar coordinate system.

[0075] Step S1021, based on the laser radar's recognition of the left and right reflectors, calculate the coordinates of the center points of the left and right reflectors at the front end of the rear vehicle in the radar coordinate system, and the angle of the vertical line connecting the left and right reflectors at the front end of the rear vehicle in the radar coordinate system.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 2 Similarly, based on the analysis of step S1011 and step S1021, in one embodiment, the calculated coordinates and angles of the rear vehicle control center point in the front vehicle control center coordinate system include:

[0083] ,

[0084] in,

[0085] ,

[0086] ,

[0087] ,

[0088] , and They represent the x-coordinate, y-coordinate and angle of the rear vehicle control center point in the front vehicle control center coordinate system. and They represent the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the rear vehicle control center point in the symmetrical center coordinate system of the left and right reflectors, respectively. They can be obtained based on the mechanical parameters. , and They represent the x-coordinate, y-coordinate and angle of the laser radar under the control center of the preceding vehicle, respectively, and can be obtained according to the mechanical parameters;

[0089] Among them, the direction of the symmetric center coordinate system of the left and right reflectors is perpendicular to the line connecting the left and right reflectors, and the positive direction of the y-axis is vertical to the left. The control center coordinate system of the rear vehicle has the same direction as the symmetric center coordinate system of the left and right reflectors. When the front and rear vehicles are aligned front and back, the symmetric center coordinate system of the left and right reflectors has the same direction as the radar coordinate system, and the control center coordinate system of the front vehicle has the same direction as the radar coordinate system.

[0090] Step S20, obtaining the x-coordinate, y-coordinate and angle that the control center point of the rear vehicle is expected to maintain in the coordinate system of the control center of the front vehicle.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 6 , , , These three variables are the control inputs of the four-steering wheel motion model, i.e., the control values ​​sent by the remote control, which constitute the three-dimensional vector of the vehicle's motion state. The input control quantity needs to be solved to calculate the angle that each steering wheel should turn to. and the velocity V, which is the velocity vector of each steering wheel on the two-dimensional plane. Among them, the forward direction of the vehicle can be calculated by , and the combined vehicle speed can be obtained The rotation radius of the vehicle can be calculated from the total speed of the vehicle and the rotation angular velocity .

[0092] The radius of motion of each wheel can be calculated by the Pythagorean theorem and the body motion radius R:

[0097] in, Indicates the front right wheel speed, Indicates the front left wheel speed, Indicates the rear right wheel speed, Indicates the rear left wheel speed.

[0101] At this point the steering wheel deflection angle and speed of each steering wheel based on the control input has been solved.

[0102] The premise of dual-vehicle linkage is that the relative posture of the front vehicle and the rear vehicle first reaches the desired posture. However, the position accuracy of the main and rear vehicles cannot be guaranteed by manual remote control. Figure 6 From the analysis of the single-vehicle motion model shown, it can be seen that the four-steering wheel motion model can control the translation and rotation of the vehicle at the same time, so it is only necessary to send the X-direction deviation, Y-direction deviation and angle deviation of the current position of the slave vehicle and the expected position of the slave vehicle through control values.

[0103] Please refer to Figure 7 According to the laser radar recognition results, the coordinates of the rear vehicle control center point in the front vehicle control center coordinate system are ( , , ). At the same time, the position that the rear vehicle should maintain is directly behind the origin of the coordinate system of the control center of the front vehicle plus half of the front vehicle's wheelbase, plus the linkage distance between the two vehicles, plus half of the rear vehicle's wheelbase, that is, . Then we have:

[0115] ,

[0116] , and Respectively represent the current x-coordinate, y-coordinate and angle, , and They represent the relative x-coordinate, relative y-coordinate, and relative angle respectively.

[0117] Step S40, based on the relative x-coordinate, the relative y-coordinate and the relative angle, calculate the speed, perpendicular speed and angular speed of the rear vehicle that need to be controlled in the same direction as the front direction of the rear vehicle.

[0118] In one embodiment, it includes:

[0120] in, and They respectively represent the speed in the same direction as the front direction and the speed perpendicular to the front direction of the vehicle that need to be controlled for the rear vehicle. Indicates the angular velocity that needs to be controlled for the following vehicle.

[0121] Eventually, the following vehicle will reach the expected position of the following vehicle. When the position deviation of the following vehicle is less than the set accuracy, the dual-vehicle linkage mode can be entered.
