Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cleaning vehicle path planning, and specifically relates to a path planning method and device for a cleaning vehicle based on multiple control centers. Background Art

[0002] Traditional cleaning vehicle path planning methods generally adopt a rigid body kinematic model based on a single fixed reference point, such as the vehicle's centroid or the center of the rear axle, to generate a global path through a unified coordinate system. This planning method based on a single fixed reference has high calculation efficiency and is relatively simple to implement, and performs well in standard configuration vehicles such as passenger cars, but it is difficult to adapt to the special operation requirements of cleaning vehicles.

[0003] Conventional path planning methods use a fixed reference point to establish a single coordinate system, which cannot take into account the dual requirements of driving stability and cleaning accuracy, and cannot accurately reflect the pose changes during the operation of the sweeping brush. Systemic path deviations occur under steering or rapid extension conditions. Therefore, we propose a path planning method and device for a cleaning vehicle based on multiple control centers to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, a path planning method and device for a cleaning vehicle based on multiple control centers are provided. The technical solution of the present invention solves the problems in the above background art that the rigid body kinematic modeling using a single coordinate reference cannot adapt to the non-rigid characteristics of the dynamic extension of the sweeping mechanism of the cleaning vehicle, resulting in a deviation between the planned path and the actual cleaning requirements; the planning system based on fixed control points is difficult to track the change of the sweeping brush position in real time, affecting the path tracking accuracy; and the use of a unified collision detection weight lacks the ability to adaptively adjust according to environmental characteristics and the state of the sweeping brush.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions: The present invention provides a path planning method for a cleaning vehicle based on multiple control centers, and the method includes: Step 1: Configure a dual-mode control system for the cleaning vehicle, including an independent driving control center and a cleaning control center; Step 2: Establish a driving control coordinate system based on the center of the rear axle of the vehicle, and at the same time establish a cleaning control coordinate system according to the sweeping brush inertia compensation result, and generate an inertia compensation projection point as the transition coordinate for the switching of the dual control mode; Step 3: Sense the road environment in real time, dynamically divide the area type according to the obstacle distance and the road width, and differentially configure the collision weight and the inflation coefficient; Step 4: Based on the collaborative work of the dual control centers, comprehensively apply the configured collision weight and inflation coefficient to generate a feasible operation path for the cleaning vehicle in stages.

[0006] Furthermore, a path planning device for a sweeper based on multiple control centers is proposed, which is used to implement the path planning method for a sweeper based on multiple control centers described in any one of the above, including: A dual-mode control module, which is used to configure a dual-mode control system for the cleaning vehicle, including an independent driving control center and a cleaning control center; A multi-source information processing module, which is used to establish a driving control coordinate system based on the center of the rear axle of the vehicle, and at the same time establish a cleaning control coordinate system according to the sweeping brush inertia compensation result, and generate an inertia compensation projection point as the transition coordinate for the switching of the dual control modes; An environment adaptive parameter configuration module, which is used to sense the road environment in real time, dynamically divide the area type according to the obstacle distance and the road width, and differentially configure the collision weight and the expansion coefficient; A multi-modal path generation module, which is used to generate a feasible operation path for the cleaning vehicle in stages based on the collaborative work of the dual control centers, and comprehensively apply the configured collision weight and expansion coefficient.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention adopts an independent control architecture of a driving and a cleaning dual coordinate system. The driving coordinate system is established based on the center of the rear axle of the vehicle to ensure driving stability. The cleaning coordinate system accurately reflects the operation pose by dynamically compensating the inertial offset of the sweeping brush. The two are switched through the inertial compensation projection point, which improves the accuracy of the cleaning path and effectively solves the path deviation problem caused by the traditional single coordinate system. By sensing the road environment in real time, dynamically adjusting the collision weight and the expansion coefficient, and combining the garbage coverage rate to trigger the mode switching, the optimal path planning for the whole scene is realized, the success rate of edge cleaning is improved, and it automatically returns to the original position after avoiding obstacles, significantly improving the operation efficiency and safety.

[0011] In the embodiment of the present invention, the obtaining of the inertia offset vector during the sweeping brush extension process through kinematic calculation and the compensation of the sweeping brush geometric center point specifically include: Obtain the current position of each sweeping brush , the fully extended position of the sweeping brush and the maximum inertia offset angle ; Obtain the sweeping brush extension speed , the maximum extension speed and the sweeping brush direction vector, and calculate the normalized direction based on the sweeping brush direction vector ; Specifically, obtain the sweeping brush extension speed through the built-in encoder of the sweeping brush drive mechanism, obtain the fixed offset of the sweeping brush mounting base relative to the center of the rear axle, obtain the current angle through the joint encoder of the sweeping brush, calculate the coordinates of the end in the local coordinate system of the sweeping brush in combination with the length of the sweeping brush arm, and transform it to the driving control center coordinate system through the homogeneous transformation matrix to obtain the current position of the sweeping brush, and calculate the direction vector of the sweeping brush; control the sweeping brush to perform a full-stroke extension movement with the maximum driving force, use the built-in encoder to record the shortest completion time as the minimum time for full extension, and calculate the maximum extension speed in combination with the length of the sweeping brush arm.

The control parameters include a collision weight and a dilation coefficient, and specifically include: Obtain the vehicle width , the distance to the nearest obstacle currently and the road width ; When it is detected that the distance to the nearest obstacle currently is greater than half of the road width, the current road environment is determined as a square area. When it is detected that the distance to the nearest obstacle currently is less than or equal to half of the road width, the current road environment is determined as a narrow road area.

At the same time, a vision sensor collects images of the same area, and uses an object detection algorithm to identify garbage targets in the images and output confidence levels; spatially align the effective point cloud with the vision detection results and map them into a preset 20×20 ground grid; for each grid cell, perform weighted calculation by combining the point cloud density and the confidence level to obtain the garbage density value of the grid cell; calculate the number of grid cells with a garbage density value greater than 0.4 g / cm² among all grid cells, and the ratio of this number to the total number of grids is the garbage coverage rate.
