[0034] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second" etc. in this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable in appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, the process, method, system, product or equipment comprising a series of steps or modules is not necessarily limited to those steps or modules clearly listed, but may include other steps or modules that are not clearly listed or that are inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0036] Figure 1 This is one of the flow charts of the multi-mode energy harvesting method for the new energy carrier robot provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes step 110, step 120 and step 130. The steps of the method flow are only a possible implementation of the present application.

[0037] Step 110: Receive environmental data of the target robot's current environment sent by sensors of each submodule in the energy collection module, as well as energy supply data sent by the energy collection module.

[0038] Specifically, the executor of the multi-mode energy harvesting method for the new energy carrier robot provided in the embodiment of the present application is the multi-mode energy harvesting device of the new energy carrier robot, which can be a hardware device independently set in the intelligent control module or a software program running in the intelligent control module.

[0039] The intelligent control module is in communication with the energy harvesting module, which includes a solar energy submodule, a kinetic energy recovery submodule, and a thermal energy harvesting submodule. The target robot is a new energy carrier robot controlled by the intelligent control module.

[0040] The intelligent control module can be set in the machine structure of the target robot or in the cloud, and can be set according to specific circumstances.

[0041] The solar submodule is one of the main energy sources of the target robot. The kinetic energy recovery submodule recovers energy through the kinetic energy generated by the robot's movement. The thermal energy collection submodule uses the temperature difference between the environment and the robot to collect energy.

[0042] The solar submodules include solar photovoltaic panels; solar photovoltaic panels are used to convert sunlight into electrical energy based on high-efficiency photovoltaic materials.

[0043] By using high-efficiency photovoltaic materials, solar submodules convert sunlight into electrical energy. The conversion principle is that photons striking the photovoltaic material generate electron-hole pairs, forming an electric current. The embodiments of this application utilize the latest photovoltaic technology to improve photoelectric conversion efficiency, allowing the target robot to obtain the maximum energy possible under sufficient light conditions. High-efficiency solar photovoltaic panels are introduced for the target robot. By real-time monitoring of lighting conditions, it can fully utilize solar energy for energy collection when there is sufficient sunlight.

[0044] The kinetic energy recovery submodule uses kinetic energy recovery technology to recover energy from the kinetic energy generated by the target robot's movement. Therefore, even at night or in low light conditions, the robot can effectively obtain energy through the kinetic energy recovery submodule, rather than relying solely on the solar submodule for energy.

[0045] The introduction of the kinetic energy recovery submodule improves the energy utilization efficiency of the system and solves the problem of insufficient energy supply in the existing technology under specific circumstances. Based on the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy recovery submodule converts the kinetic energy generated by the target robot during movement into electrical energy through a recovery device. The recovered kinetic energy can be used for power supply or storage, thereby improving the energy utilization efficiency of the target robot during movement. The embodiments of the present application can maximize the capture and utilization of kinetic energy during movement through efficient energy conversion devices and intelligent control algorithms.

[0046] The thermal energy harvesting submodule harvests energy from the temperature difference between the environment and the target robot. This not only provides the target robot with an alternative energy source independent of lighting conditions, but also provides an additional energy source in low-temperature environments, improving the target robot's adaptability to different climates.

[0047] The thermal energy harvesting submodule utilizes thermoelectric materials to convert temperature differences into electrical energy. This works based on the thermoelectric effect, which generates a voltage difference when two conductors of different temperatures are connected. The thermal energy harvesting submodule effectively converts ambient heat from the target robot's current environment into usable electrical energy, providing an additional energy source independent of light and motion.

[0048] Environmental data refers to the target robot's current environmental conditions, such as light intensity, motion status, and temperature. This environmental data is sensed by sensors in the various submodules of the energy harvesting module. For example, the light intensity sensor in the solar submodule collects light intensity; the gyroscope in the kinetic energy recovery submodule collects the target robot's motion status; and the temperature sensor in the thermal energy harvesting submodule collects the target robot's current temperature.

[0049] The energy supply data is the energy data currently provided to the target robot by each submodule in the energy acquisition module.

[0050] Step 120: Determine the collection ratio of each submodule in the energy collection module based on the environmental data and the energy supply data.

[0051] Specifically, the harvesting ratio is the percentage of energy collected by a submodule relative to the total energy collected by the energy harvesting module. When the harvesting ratio for a submodule is 100%, only that submodule is currently being used for energy harvesting. When the harvesting ratio for a submodule is zero, that submodule is not currently being used for energy harvesting.

[0052] The intelligent control module controls the coordinated operation among the solar energy submodule, the kinetic energy recovery submodule and the thermal energy collection submodule.

[0053] The intelligent control module dynamically adjusts the energy collection ratio of each sub-module based on the environmental data of the target robot's current environment, the target robot's working status, the energy supply data of each sub-module of the energy collection module, and the power demand information.

[0054] For example, if the target robot's current environment is sunny, the intelligent control module prioritizes solar photovoltaic panels for energy collection, increasing the proportion of solar submodules in the overall energy collection module. If the sunlight is insufficient, the intelligent control module intelligently switches to the kinetic energy recovery submodule and thermal energy collection submodule to ensure that the target robot can continuously obtain energy.

[0055] The solar submodule, kinetic energy recovery submodule and thermal energy collection submodule can collect energy at the same time, or one or two of them can be selected for energy collection. The collection ratio of each submodule can be determined based on environmental data and energy supply data.

[0056] Step 130: Control each submodule of the energy collection module to collect energy based on the collection ratio.

[0057] Specifically, after the collection ratio of each submodule is determined, each submodule can be controlled to collect energy according to the collection ratio.

[0058] For example, when the efficiency of the solar submodule decreases on cloudy days, the intelligent control module intelligently increases the collection ratio of the kinetic energy recovery submodule and / or the thermal energy collection submodule, that is, increases the proportion of kinetic energy recovery and / or thermal energy collection to make up for the lack of solar energy.

[0059] Through the close collaboration between the various sub-modules of the energy harvesting module, the energy harvesting module can achieve efficient energy harvesting under various environmental conditions, so that the target robot can maintain efficient and stable operation in different environments.

[0060] The multi-mode energy collection method for a new energy carrier robot provided in the embodiment of the present application, through a multi-mode energy collection module, enables the intelligent control module to flexibly control each sub-module to collect energy based on the environmental data of the current environment of the target robot and the energy supply data sent by each sub-module of the energy collection module; thereby improving the energy supply efficiency and supply stability of the target robot and improving the availability of the target robot in various working environments.

[0061] It should be noted that each implementation method of the present application can be freely combined, the order can be changed, or it can be executed separately, and does not need to rely on or depend on a fixed execution order.

[0062] In some embodiments, step 120 includes:

[0063] When the sensor of the solar sub-module detects that the light intensity of the current environment is greater than or equal to a preset light threshold, the collection ratio of the solar sub-module is increased based on the light intensity and energy supply data.

[0064] Step 120 includes: when the sensor of the kinetic energy recovery submodule detects that the target robot is moving, increasing the collection ratio of the kinetic energy recovery submodule based on the motion data and energy supply data of the target robot.

[0065] Step 120 includes: when the sensor of the thermal energy collection submodule detects that the first temperature of the target robot is lower than the second temperature of the current environment, increasing the collection ratio of the thermal energy collection submodule based on the difference between the first temperature and the second temperature and the energy supply data.

[0066] Specifically, the intelligent control module monitors and analyzes the energy provided to the target robot by each sub-module in the energy collection module and the data detected by the sensors in real time. According to the current energy supply situation, the working status of the robot and the environmental cleaning, it adjusts the collection ratio of each sub-module in the energy collection module and determines the energy collection mode.

[0067] If the solar module's sensor detects that the target robot's current ambient light intensity is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, indicating sufficient light intensity, the intelligent control module prioritizes the solar module for energy collection. This can increase the solar module's energy collection ratio to up to 100%.

[0068] For example, if the current energy supply data from the solar module indicates that the energy provided by the solar module is sufficient to support the operation of the target robot, the solar module's collection ratio can be increased to 100%. In other words, in this scenario, only the solar module can be used for energy collection. The solar module converts sunlight into electricity, generating current.

[0069] When the target robot moves, the kinetic energy recovery module activates, increasing the kinetic energy recovery module's collection rate. The kinetic energy recovery module's motion sensors detect the target robot's motion data and convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The kinetic energy generated by the robot's movement can be converted into electrical energy using a generator.

[0070] If the energy supply data of the kinetic energy recovery submodule indicates that additional energy is needed or the current ambient temperature is too high, the intelligent control module can control the thermal energy collection submodule to start energy collection, that is, increase the collection ratio of the thermal energy collection submodule.

[0071] The heat energy collection submodule utilizes the temperature difference between the second temperature corresponding to the environment and the first temperature corresponding to the target robot, and converts the temperature difference into electrical energy through a thermoelectric device.

[0072] The multi-mode energy collection method for the new energy carrier robot provided in the embodiment of the present application effectively makes up for the shortcomings of the existing technology in energy acquisition through the collaborative operation of the solar sub-module, the kinetic energy recovery sub-module and the thermal energy collection sub-module, and can realize the collaborative operation between the various sub-modules, thereby improving the operating stability of the target robot.

[0073] In some embodiments, step 130 includes:

[0074] Based on the collection ratio of each submodule and the current regulator, the flow ratio of each submodule in the energy collection module is controlled to perform energy collection.

[0075] After step 120, the method further includes:

[0076] The current output by the solar submodule, the kinetic energy recovery submodule and the thermal energy collection submodule is adjusted based on the current regulator.

[0077] Specifically, the intelligent control module is also connected to the current regulator, which is used to adjust the current of each sub-module in the energy collection module, so that the intelligent control module can control the collection ratio of each sub-module and control the collaborative operation between each sub-module.

[0078] The current output by the solar photovoltaic panel, kinetic energy recovery submodule and thermal energy collection submodule can also be adjusted by the current regulator to ensure appropriate voltage and current levels, and to prevent safety problems caused by excessive current in the submodule.

[0079] The regulated current is then transmitted to the energy storage module, which includes a high-capacity, lightweight battery. The battery is used to store the electrical energy converted by each submodule and supply it to the target robot.

[0080] The multi-mode energy collection method for the new energy carrier robot provided in the embodiment of the present application can flexibly control the collection ratio of each sub-module by controlling the current of each sub-module, while ensuring the safe operation of the target robot.

[0081] Figure 2 The second flow chart of the multi-mode energy harvesting method for the new energy carrier robot provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the method includes steps 210 to 250.

[0082] Step 210: The sensor senses the environment.

[0083] The environmental data of the target robot’s current environment is obtained through sensors.

[0084] Step 220: The intelligent control module adjusts the acquisition mode.

[0085] The intelligent control module determines the collection ratio of each submodule in the energy collection module according to the environmental data and energy supply data.

[0086] Step 230: The energy collection module performs an energy collection process.

[0087] The intelligent control module controls the solar energy submodule, the kinetic energy recovery submodule and the thermal energy collection submodule to execute the energy collection process according to the collection ratio.

[0088] Step 240: The current regulator regulates the submodule current.

[0089] The current regulator adjusts the current of each sub-module of the energy harvesting module to ensure that the voltage and current are within the appropriate range to ensure compatibility of each sub-module.

[0090] Step 250: Store energy or output power.

[0091] The power storage module stores the electric energy converted by each submodule and provides it to the target robot for use.

[0092] The multi-mode energy collection method for a new energy carrier robot provided in the embodiment of the present application, through a multi-mode energy collection module, enables the intelligent control module to flexibly control each sub-module to collect energy based on the environmental data of the current environment of the target robot and the energy supply data sent by each sub-module of the energy collection module; thereby improving the energy supply efficiency and supply stability of the target robot and improving the availability of the target robot in various working environments.
