It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0022] The photovoltaic panel cleaning robot is an automated robot used to clean photovoltaic modules (solar panels).

[0023] The traditional charging method of photovoltaic panel cleaning robots is to complete wireless charging based on remote control, vision or RTK navigation control. These methods are prone to position deviation when docking the transmitter and receiver, resulting in low charging stability. A new technical means is needed to solve the above technical problems.

[0024] In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a charging method, device, equipment and storage medium for a photovoltaic panel cleaning robot. Based on the perception and decision-making ability of the charging device of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot itself, it can autonomously detect the mark, adjust the posture and move to the optimal charging area, thereby realizing the full automation of the charging process. By introducing the first preset mark, the second preset mark and the third preset mark, the charging device of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot can locate the charging area more accurately. The first preset mark guides the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot to move to the first area, while the second preset mark and the third preset mark further refine the position of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot so that it can move after performing the posture adjustment operation, thereby ensuring accurate docking with the wireless charging transmitter. The multi-level, step-by-step precise guidance method significantly improves the stability of wireless charging.

[0025] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, specific embodiments are provided below for illustration.

[0026] Figure 1 The present invention provides a schematic diagram of a charging method for a photovoltaic panel cleaning robot, which can be applied to a terminal device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, etc.

[0027] Specifically, the charging method of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot may include the following steps S101 to S103.

[0028] Step S101, when the power level is lower than a preset threshold, a first preset mark is detected, and according to the first preset mark, the device moves to a first area.

[0029] In an embodiment of the present invention, the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot continuously monitors the battery power during the cleaning task, and when the battery power is lower than a preset threshold (for example, the remaining power is lower than 20%), the robot triggers the charging control process.

[0030] The charging device of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot searches and identifies the first preset mark in the surrounding environment through the camera, laser radar or other sensors carried by it. The first preset mark is an obvious mark or pattern used to indicate the approximate direction or position of the robot to the charging area.

[0031] When the first preset mark is identified, a path to the first area is planned based on the position information of the mark. The robot moves to the first area according to the planned path through autonomous navigation technology (such as SLAM, visual navigation, etc.).

[0032] Optionally, during movement, the vehicle senses the surrounding environment in real time to avoid collisions and adjust the path.

[0033] Step S102: If the second preset mark and the third preset mark are recognized in the first area, a posture adjustment operation is performed according to the second preset mark.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the robot enters the first area, it will continue to search for and identify the second preset mark.

[0035] The second preset mark is a more precise preset mark, which is used to guide the robot to adjust its posture. The posture and position will be adjusted according to the position and shape information of the mark to ensure the docking accuracy with the wireless charging transmitter. The posture adjustment may include actions such as rotation, translation or tilt. The posture refers to a comprehensive description of the position and orientation of the robot relative to a reference point or reference coordinate system. It describes the specific position and orientation of the robot in space.

[0036] The third preset mark serves as a guide for the robot's next action after the posture adjustment. When the robot successfully recognizes the second preset mark in the first area and performs the corresponding posture adjustment operation, it will determine the next moving direction and target position (such as the electromagnetic induction area) according to the third preset mark.

[0037] Optionally, the second logo is a circular logo, which includes a central large circle as the main reference point, and a number of smaller circular logos are arranged in sequence outward from the central large circle, and the size and arrangement of the small circular logos decrease step by step based on the distance from the central large circle.

[0038] Specifically, the robot first identifies and locks the central circle, which is the main reference point of the entire second preset mark. The position and outline of the central circle can be determined by a perception device such as a visual sensor or a laser radar.

[0039] Then, several small circle marks arranged around the central large circle are identified. The size and arrangement of each small circle mark decreases step by step based on its distance from the central large circle. By calculating the relative position and distance of each small circle mark to the central large circle, an accurate coordinate system or position relationship diagram is constructed.

[0040] Based on the constructed position relationship graph, the deviation between its current position and posture (i.e., pose) and the ideal charging position is evaluated. If there is a deviation, the necessary rotation angle and translation distance are calculated to adjust its pose.

[0041] After the adjustment direction and distance are determined, the drive system is started to perform the corresponding rotation and translation actions.

[0042] After completing the posture adjustment, the robot will check its relative position relationship with the second preset mark again to ensure that it has been accurately aligned to the optimal charging position.

[0043] If the verification results show that there is still a deviation, the robot will repeat the pose evaluation and adjustment steps until precise alignment is achieved.

[0044] Step S103, when the posture adjustment operation is completed, move to the best charging area in the electromagnetic induction area according to the third preset mark and the fourth preset mark in the electromagnetic induction area to perform wireless charging.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present invention, after completing the posture adjustment, the path will be fine-tuned according to the precise position information of the third preset marker to move into the electromagnetic induction area, and based on the fourth preset marker in the electromagnetic induction area, it is determined whether the current position is the optimal charging area.

[0046] When the robot reaches the optimal charging area, it will establish a connection with the wireless charging transmitter and start wireless charging.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: when the power is lower than the preset threshold, the first preset mark is detected, and according to the first preset mark, the robot moves to the first area; if the second preset mark and the third preset mark are identified in the first area, the posture adjustment operation is performed according to the second preset mark; when the posture adjustment operation is completed, the robot moves to the best charging area in the electromagnetic induction area according to the third preset mark and the fourth preset mark in the electromagnetic induction area to perform wireless charging. Based on the perception and decision-making ability of the charging device of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot itself, the robot can autonomously detect the mark, adjust the posture and move to the best charging area, thereby realizing the full automation of the charging process. By introducing the first preset mark, the second preset mark and the third preset mark, the charging device of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot can locate the charging area more accurately. The first preset mark guides the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot to move to the first area, while the second preset mark and the third preset mark further refine the position of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot, so that the robot can move after performing the posture adjustment operation, thereby ensuring accurate docking with the wireless charging transmitter. The multi-level and step-by-step precise guidance method significantly improves the stability of wireless charging.

[0048] During the charging process of a conventional photovoltaic panel cleaning robot, there is a tendency for position deviation to occur when the transmitter and receiver are docked, resulting in low charging stability. Position deviation may be caused by a variety of factors, such as the navigation accuracy of the robot, the layout of the wireless charging transmitter, etc. Based on this, the present invention proposes an optional embodiment.

[0049] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of step S103 of the charging method of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot in the embodiment of the present invention. Step S103 also includes the following specific implementation methods.

[0050] Step S1031, when the posture adjustment operation is completed, move to the electromagnetic induction area according to the third preset mark.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, the user moves to the electromagnetic induction area according to the guidance of the second preset mark. In this step, a visual sensor, a laser radar or other sensing device is used again to accurately enter the electromagnetic induction area.

[0052] Step S1032: if a fourth preset mark is recognized in the electromagnetic induction area, it is determined that the best charging area in the electromagnetic induction area has been reached, and movement is stopped.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present invention, a fourth preset mark is searched and identified in the electromagnetic induction area. The fourth preset mark is an accurate charging position mark, which is used to indicate the specific position of the optimal charging area.

[0054] When the fourth preset mark is recognized, the robot will determine that it has reached the optimal charging area in the electromagnetic induction area. At this time, the robot will stop moving and prepare for wireless charging.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, by introducing the fourth preset mark, the robot can locate the optimal charging area more efficiently and accurately, thereby improving the charging accuracy and efficiency.

[0056] Figure 3 2 is another specific embodiment schematic diagram of step S103 of the charging method of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot in an embodiment of the present invention. Step S103 also includes the following specific implementation methods.

[0057] Step S1033, when the posture adjustment operation is completed, move to the electromagnetic induction area according to the third preset mark, and detect whether the wireless charging voltage is in a preset optimal charging range.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot recognizes the second preset mark in the first area, it performs a posture adjustment operation according to the mark so that its position and posture with the wireless charging transmitter reach an optimal docking state.

[0059] After the posture adjustment is completed, move to the electromagnetic induction area according to the guidance of the second preset mark.

[0060] In the electromagnetic induction area, the wireless charging voltage is detected to see if it is in the preset optimal charging range. This can be achieved by establishing a connection between the wireless charging receiving device on the robot and the wireless charging transmitting end, and then monitoring the charging voltage in real time.

[0061] If the detected wireless charging voltage is within the optimal charging range, the device will maintain the current position and continue wireless charging. If the charging voltage does not meet the standard, proceed to the next step.

[0062] Step S1034: if the wireless charging voltage is not in the optimal charging range, a position fine-tuning operation is performed according to the optimal charging range and the current charging voltage to move to the optimal charging area.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the charging voltage is not in the optimal charging range, a position fine-tuning operation is performed according to the difference between the optimal charging range and the current charging voltage. For example, according to the charging voltage change trend and the pre-stored historical trajectory, the position and posture of the robot are adjusted to be closer to the optimal charging position.

[0064] After fine-tuning the position, the robot will cyclically detect whether the wireless charging voltage meets the standard. If it still does not meet the standard, the position fine-tuning operation will be repeated until the charging voltage enters the optimal charging range.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present invention, by real-time monitoring of the wireless charging voltage and fine-tuning the position as needed, the optimal charging position can be accurately located, thereby improving the charging efficiency. In addition, the position fine-tuning operation effectively reduces the phenomenon of unstable charging caused by position deviation.

[0066] Traditional charging methods often rely on fixed charging stations or charging areas. However, due to environmental factors (such as light intensity, temperature changes, etc.) and the robot's own state (such as battery power, moving speed, etc.), fixed charging areas may not always provide the best charging effect. Based on this, the present invention proposes an optional embodiment.

[0067] Step S1034 also includes the following specific implementation methods.

[0068] Step S10341, when the posture adjustment operation is completed, move to the electromagnetic induction area according to the third preset mark, and detect whether the wireless charging voltage is in a preset optimal charging range.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present invention, after moving to the electromagnetic induction area, the current wireless charging voltage is detected.

[0070] The detected wireless charging voltage is compared with a preset optimal charging interval to determine whether it is within the interval.

[0071] If the current wireless charging voltage is not within the optimal charging range, a charging voltage change trend will be generated based on the current charging voltage and the pre-stored historical charging voltage.

[0072] Step S10342: if the wireless charging voltage is not in the optimal charging range, a position fine-tuning operation is performed according to the optimal charging range and the current charging voltage to move to the optimal charging area.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present invention, based on the charging voltage change trend and the pre-stored historical trajectory (i.e., the path and voltage change recorded when the robot moved previously), a position fine-tuning operation is performed to move to an area that can provide a better wireless charging voltage, i.e., the optimal charging area.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present invention, by real-time monitoring of the wireless charging voltage and fine-tuning the position according to the voltage change trend, the robot can find the best charging area more quickly, thereby improving the charging efficiency. In addition, keeping the charging voltage within the optimal charging range can reduce battery damage caused by excessively high or low voltage.

[0075] Traditional charging control methods often start charging only when the battery power is below a certain threshold, and the charging process often continues until the battery is fully charged or reaches a certain fixed power level. When the battery power is already high, the rate of continued charging will be significantly reduced, resulting in a longer charging time. Based on this, the present invention proposes an optional embodiment.

[0076] The following specific implementation is also included after step S103.

[0077] Step S201, if the power level is higher than the target threshold, stop wireless charging and move to a preset cleaning area to continue the photovoltaic cleaning operation.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the robot completes posture adjustment and moves to the optimal charging area in the electromagnetic induction area, it performs power detection. If the detected power is higher than the preset target threshold, the next operation is triggered; if the power does not reach or is lower than the target threshold, charging continues.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present invention, by stopping wireless charging in time and moving to the cleaning area, the robot can start cleaning the photovoltaic panel more quickly. When the power level is higher than the target threshold, stopping charging in time can avoid damage to the battery due to overcharging and extend the battery life.

[0080] Traditional charging control methods often start charging only when the battery power is below a certain threshold, and the charging process often continues until the battery is fully charged or reaches a certain fixed power level. This method cannot enable the robot to perform cleaning tasks at the same time, thereby reducing cleaning flexibility. Based on this, the present invention proposes an optional embodiment.

[0081] The following specific implementation is also included after step S103.

[0082] Step S202: If the current cleaning task is marked with priority data, a target threshold is dynamically generated according to the priority data.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present invention, it is checked whether there are photovoltaic cleaning tasks to be completed, and the priority data of these tasks are obtained. According to the priority data, the target threshold is dynamically adjusted (if it has not been adjusted according to the priority before) to make the cleaning task cycle more reasonable.

[0084] After stopping wireless charging, the robot plans and moves to the designated cleaning area according to the preset cleaning area path or instructions.

[0085] After arriving at the cleaning area, the robot continues to clean the photovoltaic panels according to the preset cleaning tasks or instructions and priority order.

[0086] During the cleaning process, you can adjust parameters such as cleaning intensity and speed according to actual conditions to improve the cleaning effect.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present invention, by stopping wireless charging in time and moving to the cleaning area, the robot can start cleaning the photovoltaic panel more quickly, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency. Avoiding continuous charging when the battery is fully charged can reduce unnecessary energy waste and improve energy utilization efficiency.

[0088] Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the structure of a charging device of a photovoltaic panel cleaning robot provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The charging device 400 of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot can be configured on a terminal device. Specifically, the charging device 400 of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot can include: The detection module 401 is used for the detection module, which is used to detect a first preset mark when the power is lower than a preset threshold, and move to the first area according to the first preset mark; A posture adjustment module 402, configured to perform a posture adjustment operation according to the second preset identifier if a second preset identifier and a third preset identifier are identified in the first area; The moving module 403 is used to move to the best charging area in the electromagnetic induction area according to the third preset mark and the fourth preset mark in the electromagnetic induction area to perform wireless charging when the posture adjustment operation is completed.

[0089] Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: when the power is lower than the preset threshold, the first preset mark is detected, and according to the first preset mark, the robot moves to the first area; if the second preset mark and the third preset mark are identified in the first area, the posture adjustment operation is performed according to the second preset mark; when the posture adjustment operation is completed, the robot moves to the best charging area in the electromagnetic induction area according to the third preset mark and the fourth preset mark in the electromagnetic induction area to perform wireless charging.
