[0040] Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram when the first load mechanism is a flip plate. Detailed Embodiments

[0041] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0042] Refer to Figure 1 , the solar energy system 1000 includes a solar panel 110 and a control mechanism 120. The control mechanism 120 is connected to the solar panel 110. The control mechanism 120 is configured to: control the solar panel 110 and / or the first load mechanism related to the solar panel 110 to execute a target event according to the obtained information; wherein, the first load mechanism is directly or indirectly powered by the solar panel 110.

[0043] Specifically, the control mechanism 120 can be an electronic device such as a controller or a controllable chip. In one application scenario, the control mechanism 120 is used to control the solar panel 110. In another application scenario, the control mechanism 120 is used to control the first load mechanism. In yet another application scenario, the control mechanism 120 can control both the solar panel 110 and the first load mechanism.

[0044] Among them, the first load mechanism can be directly powered by the solar panel 110 or indirectly powered by the solar panel 110. For example, the first load mechanism is lighting equipment, a pool cover, a pool robot, etc. directly powered by the solar panel 110; the solar panel 110 can be received by the receiving mechanism and then connected to the first load mechanism in real time to directly power the first load mechanism; the solar panel 110 can also be received by the first load mechanism to directly power the first load mechanism. At this time, the first load mechanism is the receiving mechanism of the solar panel 110. Correspondingly, the first load mechanism is a pool robot, etc. indirectly powered by the solar panel 110, that is, the first load mechanism can obtain the power provided by the solar panel 110 through a non-real-time connection method with the solar panel 110, such as the first load mechanism finding the solar panel 110 and then connecting to the bearing mechanism of the solar panel 110, etc.

[0045] Among them, after the control mechanism 120 obtains the information, according to the obtained information, it controls the solar panel 110 and / or the first load mechanism to execute a target event related to the information. Among them, the information is any information directly or indirectly related to the solar panel 110 and / or the first load mechanism, such as time information, weather information, power information, etc. The control mechanism 120 can obtain the information by direct detection or through the transmission of other mechanisms; the target event is any event that the solar panel 110 executes alone, the first load mechanism executes alone, or the solar panel 110 and the first load mechanism execute together, realizing the automatic management of the solar panel 110 and / or the first load mechanism, which is efficient and fast.

[0046] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: during the process of controlling the solar panel 110 to rotate in multiple directions in sequence, obtain the output current value of the solar panel 110, and control the solar panel 110 to charge in the best charging direction according to the output current value of the solar panel 110.

[0047] Specifically, the larger the output current value of the solar panel 110, the greater the light intensity of the environment where the solar panel 110 is located. The smaller the output current value of the solar panel 110, the smaller the light intensity of the environment where the solar panel 110 is located. Therefore, during the process of controlling the rotation of the solar panel 110 by the control mechanism 120, the output current value of the solar panel 110 is obtained, and the optimal charging direction of the solar panel 110 is determined according to the output current value of the solar panel 110. It can be understood that when the solar panel 110 faces the optimal charging direction, the charging efficiency of the solar panel 110 is relatively high. Therefore, finally, the control mechanism 120 controls the solar panel 110 to charge in the optimal charging direction, realizing the efficient charging of the solar panel 110.

[0048] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: when the output current value of the solar panel 110 is equal to a pre-stored first current threshold in response to the solar panel 110 facing the target direction, determine the target direction as the optimal charging direction; when the output current value of the solar panel 110 is less than the first current threshold during the rotation process, obtain the maximum output current value of the solar panel 110 during the rotation process, and determine the direction corresponding to the maximum output current value as the optimal charging direction.

[0049] Specifically, the first current threshold is pre-stored. The pre-stored first current threshold can be the maximum convertible current value of the solar panel 110, or the output current value of the solar panel 110 in the direction with stronger light.

[0050] During the rotation of the solar panel 110, if the output current value of the solar panel 110 reaches the pre-stored first current threshold when facing a certain direction, it indicates that the light intensity in this direction is high. Finally, this direction is determined as the optimal charging direction, and the solar panel 110 is controlled to stop rotating and charge in the optimal charging direction.

[0051] If, during the rotation of the solar panel 110, the output current value of the solar panel 110 is less than the first current threshold, it indicates that the surrounding light is weak at this time. However, at this time, the maximum output current value of the solar panel 110 during the rotation process can still be obtained to determine a direction with the strongest light, and finally this direction is determined as the optimal charging direction.

[0052] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: control the solar panel 110 to face a plurality of preset directions in sequence and stay at each preset direction for a preset duration. For example, eight preset directions are set on one rotation of the solar panel 110, and the solar panel 110 is controlled to stay at each preset direction for one minute during the rotation process, so as to obtain the output current value of the solar panel 110 when facing each preset direction. Among them, the preset duration can be set according to whether the change of the output current value of the solar panel 110 can be detected.

[0053] In other embodiments, the control mechanism 120 can also control the solar panel 110 to rotate at a constant speed. In short, the application does not specifically limit the way the control mechanism 120 controls the rotation of the solar panel 110.

[0054] In a specific example, the control mechanism 120 first controls the solar panel 110 to rotate one full circle at a constant speed. At this time, during the rotation, if the output current value of the solar panel 110 is equal to the pre-stored first current threshold when the solar panel 110 faces the target direction, the target direction is determined as the optimal charging direction, and the control mechanism 120 controls the solar panel 110 to stop rotating and charge in the optimal charging direction. However, if during the rotation, the output current value of the solar panel 110 is less than the first current threshold, one approach is to obtain the maximum output current value of the solar panel 110 during the rotation, and determine the direction corresponding to the maximum output current value as the optimal charging direction, and control the solar panel 110 to charge in the optimal charging direction. Another approach is to control the solar panel 110 to rotate again according to a preset logic. For example, control the solar panel 110 to turn to eight preset directions in sequence, and stay at each preset direction for 1 minute, then determine the maximum output current value among the output current values of the solar panel 110 at these eight preset directions, and finally determine the preset direction corresponding to the maximum output current value as the optimal charging direction, and control the solar panel 110 to charge in the optimal charging direction.

[0055] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is connected to the target component, and the control mechanism 120 receives the output current value of the solar panel 110 through the target component. Among them, the target component includes at least one of a first load mechanism directly or indirectly powered by the solar panel 110, a third-party mechanism communicating with the solar panel 110, and a receiving mechanism for receiving the solar panel 110.

[0056] Specifically, the control mechanism 120 can obtain the output current value of the solar panel 110 through the first load mechanism, or through the third-party mechanism, or through the receiving mechanism. The connection method between the control mechanism 120 and the target component includes but is not limited to electrical connection, wireless connection, etc. The first load mechanism can be a lighting device or other mechanisms, the third-party mechanism can be a current sensor, an image sensor, etc. that communicate with the solar panel 110, and the receiving mechanism can be a base station or the like.

[0057] In an embodiment, the solar panel 110 has a storage state and an unfolded state, and the charging area of the solar panel 110 in the storage state is smaller than that in the unfolded state. The control mechanism 120 is further configured to: control whether the solar panel 110 is in the storage state or the unfolded state according to the output current value and / or the motion state of the solar panel 110.

[0058] Specifically, the solar panel 110 can be folded and stored, and it can be unfolded and folded. If the solar panel 110 can be charged in the storage state, the charging area of the solar panel 110 when unfolded is larger than that in the storage state. That is to say, the charging efficiency of the solar panel 110 when unfolded is higher than that in the storage state.

[0059] The control mechanism 120 controls whether the solar panel 110 is in the storage state or the unfolded state according to the output current value and / or the motion state of the solar panel 110 to meet the usage requirements in different scenarios. Among them, the motion state of the solar panel 110 includes whether the solar panel 110 is in a stationary state or a moving state, and the moving speed, etc., which are not limited here.

[0060] In an embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: in response to the solar panel 110 meeting the first preset requirement, control the solar panel 110 to be in the unfolded state, otherwise control the solar panel 110 to be in the storage state; where the first preset requirement includes at least one of the output current value of the solar panel 110 being greater than the second current threshold and the moving speed of the solar panel 110 being less than the speed threshold.

[0061] Specifically, when the output current value of the solar panel 110 is greater than the second current threshold, it indicates that the light is strong at this time and the charging requirement is met. Therefore, the control mechanism 120 controls the solar panel 110 to be unfolded for charging to achieve efficient charging of the solar panel 110; or when the solar panel 110 does not need to move or the moving speed is less than the set speed threshold, it means that unfolding the solar panel 110 at this time will not affect the movement of the solar panel 110. Therefore, the solar panel 110 is controlled to be unfolded for charging.

[0062] In other embodiments, the control mechanism 120 can also control whether the solar panel 110 is in the unfolded state or the storage state according to an operation instruction, and the operation instruction can be sent manually.

[0063] In an embodiment, the size of the solar panel 110 in the storage state is smaller than the size of the receiving mechanism for receiving the solar panel 110, which can improve the stability of the receiving mechanism for receiving the solar panel 110.

[0064] In another embodiment, the receiving mechanism for receiving the solar panel 110 is itself the first load mechanism. At this time, the size of the solar panel 110 in the stored state is smaller than the size of the first load mechanism.

[0065] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: when the solar panel 110 is in the deployed state, cause the receiving mechanism for receiving the solar panel 110 to stop moving, wherein the size of the solar panel 110 in the deployed state is larger than the size of the receiving mechanism.

[0066] Specifically, if the size of the deployed solar panel 110 is larger than the size of the receiving mechanism, then when the solar panel 110 is in the deployed state, if the receiving mechanism itself is movable, directly control the receiving mechanism to stop moving. If the receiving mechanism is driven by other mechanisms to move, then control the other mechanisms to stop moving. For example, if the receiving mechanism and the first load mechanism are connected in real time by a cable or the like, then control the first load mechanism to stop moving, so as to avoid tipping over caused by the weight imbalance of the entire mechanism when the receiving mechanism moves.

[0067] In one embodiment, the solar panel 110 includes a plurality of sub-panels. When the solar panel 110 is in the stored state, the plurality of sub-panels are stacked. At this time, only the topmost sub-panel can be irradiated by the sun. When the solar panel 110 is in the deployed state, at least part of the charging surfaces of the plurality of sub-panels do not overlap, so that all sub-panels can be irradiated by light, increasing the charging area of the solar panel 110.

[0068] In another embodiment, the solar panel 110 can be curled. When it is desired to store the solar panel 110, curl the solar panel 110. When the solar panel 110 is folded, some of the sub-panels in all of the solar panel 110 can be irradiated by the sun, or none of the sub-panels can be irradiated by the sun. When the solar panel 110 is in the stored state, it can be stored in the original position, or can be stored in a specific storage position and then moved out of the storage position when there is a charging requirement. In short, the present application does not limit the ways to realize the folding and storage of the solar panel 110.

[0069] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: in response to the output current value of the solar panel 110 at the current position being greater than the third current threshold, save the current position of the solar panel 110 as a historical position. And, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: find the first target position closest to the current position of the solar panel 110 among the saved historical positions, and control the solar panel 110 to move to the first target position for charging.

[0070] Specifically, when the output current value of the solar panel 110 at a certain position is greater than the third current threshold, it indicates that the illumination at this position is strong and the charging efficiency of the solar panel 110 at this position is high. Then, this position is saved as a historical position. It can be understood that the saved historical positions are all positions with strong illumination. During subsequent movement, when the solar panel 110 needs to be charged, the historical position closest to the current position is searched for among the saved historical positions (the found historical position is defined as the first target position), and the solar panel 110 is controlled to move to the first target position for charging to ensure the charging efficiency of the solar panel 110.

[0071] In one embodiment, the saved historical positions correspond to scenarios. For example, some historical positions correspond to the swimming pool scenario, and some historical positions correspond to the playground scenario. When the solar panel 110 is in the swimming pool scenario, the historical position closest to the current position is searched for among the multiple historical positions corresponding to the swimming pool scenario; when the solar panel 110 is in the playground scenario, the historical position closest to the current position is searched for among the multiple historical positions corresponding to the playground scenario.

[0072] In one embodiment, the saved historical positions correspond to time periods. For example, some historical positions correspond to the time period from 8:00 am to 10:00 am, some historical positions correspond to the time period from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, some historical positions correspond to the time period from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, and some historical positions correspond to the time period from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. If the current time is within the time period from 8:00 am to 10:00 am, the historical position closest to the current position is searched for among the multiple historical positions corresponding to 8:00 am to 10:00 am; if the current time is within the time period from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, the historical position closest to the current position is searched for among the multiple historical positions corresponding to 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.

[0073] It can be understood that the saved historical positions are continuously updated. As long as the output current value of the solar panel 110 at a certain position is greater than the third current threshold, this position can be saved as a historical position. Among them, if there are many saved historical positions, some of the saved historical positions can also be deleted to reduce the memory pressure. Among them, deletion can be performed in the order of the saving time, for example, preferentially deleting the historical positions with earlier saving times.

[0074] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: after controlling the solar panel 110 to move to the first target position, in response to the output current value of the solar panel 110 at the first target position being less than the fourth current threshold, search for the second target position closest to the first target position from the saved historical positions, and control the solar panel 110 to move to the second target position for charging, and at the same time delete the first target position from the saved historical positions.

[0075] Specifically, after controlling the solar panel 110 to move to the first target position, if the output current value of the solar panel 110 is greater than or equal to the fourth current threshold, it indicates that the first target position meets the charging requirements, and then the solar panel 110 is controlled to charge at the first target position. However, if the output current value of the solar panel 110 is less than the fourth current threshold, it indicates that the first target position does not meet the charging requirements. Then, the control mechanism 120 searches for the historical position closest to the first target position (defined as the second target position), and controls the solar panel 110 to move to the second target position for charging. If the output current value of the solar panel 110 is still less than the fourth current threshold after it moves to the second target position, it indicates that the second target position also does not meet the charging requirements, and then the next historical position is continuously searched, thus continuously looping the above process until a historical position that meets the requirements is found.

[0076] At the same time, the control mechanism 120 will also delete the first target position that does not meet the charging requirements from the historical positions to improve the efficiency of the solar panel 110 searching for the best charging position next time. Among them, the value of the fourth current threshold can be the same as or different from the value of the third current threshold.

[0077] In an embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is specifically configured to: search for the historical position corresponding to the current time period, determine the first target position closest to the current position among the found historical positions, and control the solar panel 110 to move to the first target position for charging.

[0078] Specifically, the saved historical positions correspond to time periods at this time. Therefore, when searching for historical positions, the first target position closest to the current position is searched among the historical positions corresponding to the current time period. If the current time is in the time period from 8 am to 10 am, the first target position closest to the current position is searched among the historical positions corresponding to the time period from 8 am to 10 am; if the current time is in the time period from 10 am to 1 pm, the first target position closest to the current position is searched among the multiple historical positions corresponding to the time period from 10 am to 1 pm. By the above method, the efficiency of searching for historical positions can be improved.

[0079] In an embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: in response to the output current value of the solar panel 110 being less than the fifth current threshold after the solar panel 110 moves to each historical position corresponding to the current time period, search for the historical position corresponding to another time period adjacent to and after the current time period, determine the third target position closest to the current position among the found historical positions, and control the solar panel 110 to move to the third target position for waiting to charge.

[0080] Specifically, if the output current value of the solar panel 110 is less than the fifth current threshold after the solar panel moves to all historical positions corresponding to the current time period, it indicates that each historical position corresponding to the current time period does not meet the charging requirements. Then, obtain the historical positions corresponding to another time period adjacent to and after the current time period (for the convenience of description, define the other time period adjacent to and after the current time period as the first time period), and find the historical position closest to the current position of the solar panel 110 (defined as the third target position) among the obtained historical positions. Then, control the solar panel 110 to move to the third target position and wait until the current moment is in the first time period. Then, determine whether the third target position meets the charging requirements. If it meets the charging requirements, control the solar panel 110 to charge at the third target position. If it does not meet the charging requirements, find the historical position closest to the third target position among the historical positions corresponding to the first time period, and loop the above process until a historical position that meets the charging requirements is found. Among them, the value of the fifth current threshold may be the same as or different from the value of the third current threshold.

[0081] In an embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: determine the light intensity on the movement path according to the output current value of the solar panel 110 on the movement path; in response to the number of positions on the movement path where the light intensity is greater than the first intensity threshold being greater than the first number threshold, adjust the preset charging strategy of the first load mechanism while the first load mechanism is performing a task; in response to the number of positions on the movement path where the light intensity is greater than the first intensity threshold being less than the second number threshold, maintain the preset charging strategy while the first load mechanism is performing a task; otherwise, determine whether to perform a task and / or adjust the preset charging strategy according to the target information, where the target information includes at least one of the current remaining power of the first load mechanism, the remaining working area of the first load mechanism, and the distribution information, and the distribution information is the distribution information of the positions on the movement path where the light intensity is greater than the first intensity threshold and the positions where the light intensity is less than the first intensity threshold.

[0082] Specifically, during the movement of the solar panel 110, the control mechanism 120 obtains the output current value of the solar panel 110 on the movement path, and determines the light intensity on the movement path according to the output current value of the solar panel 110. Among them, the output current values of the solar panel 110 on the entire movement path can be traversed to determine the light intensity on the movement path, or the output current values of the solar panel 110 at several positions far apart on the movement path can be obtained to determine the light intensity on the movement path. It can be understood that the greater the output current value of the solar panel 110 at a certain position, the greater the light intensity at that position. The movement path can be related to the first load mechanism directly powered by the solar panel 110. For example, if the first load mechanism is a pool robot, the movement path can be the path that the pool robot needs to go through to perform tasks, such as cleaning tasks.

[0083] If the number of positions on the movement path where the light intensity is greater than the first intensity threshold is greater than the first quantity threshold, it indicates that the light intensity on the movement path is relatively high. Then, the control mechanism 120 adjusts the preset charging strategy of the first load mechanism while the first load mechanism is performing tasks. For example, the preset charging strategy of the first load mechanism is to perform real-time charging by the current converted after the solar panel 110 is irradiated by the sun during the task execution, that is, to charge with a fixed current when the light intensity on the movement path remains unchanged, to charge with a large current at positions with a high light intensity and a small current at positions with a low light intensity when the light intensity on the movement path changes; after determining that the number of positions on the movement path where the light intensity is greater than the first intensity threshold is greater than the first quantity threshold, the control mechanism 120 can control the first load mechanism to stop performing tasks and start charging first, and then control the first load mechanism to perform tasks after being fully charged. That is to say, if the number of positions on the movement path where the light intensity is greater than the first intensity threshold is greater than the first quantity threshold, the control mechanism 120 can adjust the preset charging strategy of the first load mechanism.

[0084] If the number of positions on the movement path where the light intensity is greater than the first intensity threshold is less than the second quantity threshold, it indicates that the light intensity on the movement path is relatively low, so the charging efficiency is low. At this time, the control mechanism 120 maintains the preset charging strategy while the first load mechanism is performing tasks, avoiding adjusting the charging strategy to cause the first load structure to consume extra power and being unable to supplement this part of the power by changing the charging strategy, resulting in an increase in the overall power consumption of the first load structure, thereby improving the charging effectiveness.

[0085] If the number of positions on the movement path where the light intensity is greater than the first intensity threshold is greater than the second quantity threshold and less than the first quantity threshold, the control mechanism 120 determines whether to control the first load mechanism to perform tasks and / or adjust the preset charging strategy according to the target information.

[0086] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: determine the target power required for the first load mechanism to complete the remaining work according to the remaining working area; in response to the target power being less than the current remaining power of the first load mechanism, adjust the preset charging strategy to control the first load mechanism to move to the fourth target position to charge the solar panel 110, otherwise, control the first load mechanism to maintain the preset charging strategy while performing tasks, where the output current value of the solar panel 110 at the fourth target position is greater than the sixth current threshold.

[0087] Specifically, the control mechanism 120 first determines the target power required for the first load mechanism to complete the remaining work according to the remaining working area of the first load mechanism. If the target power is less than the current remaining power of the first load mechanism, it indicates that the first load mechanism has insufficient power. Then, the control mechanism 120 controls the first load mechanism to move to the fourth target position, that is, the position with stronger light, to charge the solar panel 110, that is, to adjust the preset charging strategy. If the target power is greater than or equal to the current remaining power of the first load mechanism, it indicates that the first load mechanism has sufficient power. Then, the control mechanism 120 controls the first load mechanism to maintain the preset charging strategy while performing tasks.

[0088] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: obtain the current azimuth of the sun and control the solar panel 110 to move to the fifth target position for charging according to the current azimuth of the sun.

[0089] Specifically, the control mechanism 120 determines the charging position of the solar panel 110 according to the current azimuth of the sun. For example, if the sun is in the east during the current time period, the solar panel 110 can directly go to the west of the current site (such as a pool) for charging.

[0090] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: determine the moving direction of the solar panel 110 according to the rising and setting direction of the sun. For example, when the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, as time goes by, the solar panel 110 can move from west to north and then to east in the current site, changing its position at intervals. The moving direction of the solar panel 110 can be determined by a magnetometer connected to the solar panel 110 to increase the probability of the solar panel 110 being directly irradiated by the sun, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the solar panel 110.

[0091] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: determine the first target time when charging is available recently according to the weather information; plan the work plan of the first load mechanism from the current time to the first target time according to the current remaining power of the first load mechanism and the first target time.

[0092] Specifically, according to the obtained weather forecast information, the weather information at a certain moment on a certain day can be known, so as to estimate the first target time when the first load mechanism can be charged. Then, combined with the current remaining current of the first load mechanism and the first target time, the work plan of the first load mechanism from the current time to the first target time is planned, and the work plan of the first load mechanism is reasonably arranged.

[0093] In an embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is specifically configured to: plan for the first load mechanism to execute tasks at a target time interval from the current time to the first target time, where the target time interval is related to at least one of the current remaining power of the first load mechanism and the time interval from the current time to the first target time.

[0094] Specifically, the meaning of the target time interval is: plan for the first load mechanism to execute tasks at adjacent t1 and t2 times respectively, where the interval between t1 and t2 is equal to the target time interval. The target time interval can be determined according to the current remaining power of the first load mechanism and / or the time interval from the current time to the first target time, and then the control mechanism 120 controls the first load mechanism to execute tasks at the target time interval from the current time to the first target time.

[0095] In an application scenario, the priority of completing the work task is high. If the current remaining power of the first load mechanism is low, it is necessary to consider completing the work task in a shorter time to avoid power exhaustion. Therefore, a smaller target time interval is set. On the contrary, if the remaining power is high, a longer target time interval is set. By reasonably setting the target time interval, the first load mechanism can be effectively guided to complete the work task within the specified time, while avoiding problems such as power exhaustion and inability to execute tasks or being too tight on time.

[0096] In another application scenario, the maintenance priority of the first load mechanism is high. If the current remaining power of the first load mechanism is low, to avoid the first load mechanism exhausting power due to frequent task execution, a long target time interval is set. On the contrary, if the remaining power is high, a shorter target time interval is set. By reasonably setting the target time interval, problems such as power exhaustion and inability to charge in time, which affect the maintenance of the load mechanism, can be avoided.

[0097] In an embodiment, the first load mechanism can also be powered by a target power source different from the solar panel 110. At this time, the control mechanism 120 is specifically configured to: obtain the second target time when the target power source can supply power and is closest to the current time; in response to the first target time being later than the second target time, control the first load mechanism to execute tasks within the working time period closest to the second target time.

[0098] Specifically, the target power supply can also be a battery, an AC power supply, etc. That is to say, the first load mechanism can be charged through the solar panel 110 and can also be charged through the target power supply.

[0099] If the first target time (i.e., the time when the first load mechanism can be charged by the solar panel 110) is later than the second target time (i.e., the time when the first load mechanism can be charged by the target power supply), it means that the first load mechanism can only be charged by the target power supply at the earliest. Therefore, the control mechanism 120 will adjust the working time of the first load mechanism so that it performs tasks during the working period closest to the second target time to ensure continuous energy supply and efficient task completion. For example, if the second target time is Saturday, the current time is Tuesday, and it is impossible to charge using the solar panel 110 in the near future (the period from Tuesday to Saturday), that is, the condition that the first target time is later than the second target time is met at this time. Therefore, the control mechanism 120 controls the first load mechanism to perform tasks on Thursday or Friday.

[0100] In an embodiment, the first load mechanism is directly powered by the solar panel 110, and the control mechanism 120 is configured to: when the solar panel 110 receives a work instruction, obtain the interval duration between the current time and the sunset time; in response to the interval duration being greater than the first duration threshold, control the first load mechanism to work according to the work instruction; otherwise, control the first load mechanism to charge first until the remaining power meets the power required to execute the task, or charge until the ambient light intensity is less than the second intensity threshold, and then work according to the work instruction.

[0101] Specifically, the first duration threshold is preset. For example, it is set to five hours. If the interval duration is greater than the first duration threshold, it means that there is enough time for the solar panel 110 to charge before sunset and also enough time for the solar panel 110 to charge the first load mechanism. Therefore, the control mechanism 120 controls the first load mechanism to work according to the work instruction first, and at this time, the first load mechanism can also be charged while working. When the interval duration is less than or equal to the first duration threshold, it means that the current time is close to the sunset time, which means that there is not much time for the solar panel 110 to charge before sunset, and thus not much time for the solar panel 110 to charge the first load mechanism. Therefore, control the first load mechanism to charge first until the remaining power meets the power required to execute the task, or charge until the ambient light intensity is less than the second intensity threshold, and then control the first load mechanism to work according to the work instruction.

[0102] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is configured to: obtain the remaining first power of the first load mechanism and the remaining second power of the solar panel 110, and determine whether to control the first load mechanism to move to the receiving mechanism where the solar panel 110 is located based on the first power and the second power. When the first load mechanism arrives at the receiving mechanism, the control mechanism 120 controls the first load mechanism to receive power supply from the solar panel 110 or replace the battery on the first load mechanism with the battery on the solar panel 110.

[0103] Specifically, the control mechanism 120 determines whether to charge the first load mechanism with the solar panel 110 according to the remaining first power of the first load mechanism and the remaining second power of the solar panel 110. If it is determined to charge the first load mechanism with the solar panel 110, the control mechanism 120 controls the first load mechanism to reach the receiving mechanism. After the first load mechanism arrives at the receiving mechanism, the control mechanism 120 can control the solar panel 110 or the receiving mechanism to directly charge the first load mechanism. Or if the battery on the solar panel 110 is detachable and the battery on the first load mechanism is detachable, the undercharged battery on the first load mechanism can also be replaced with the fully charged battery on the solar panel 110. Among them, the action of replacing the battery on the first load mechanism can be performed manually or by a robot, which is not limited here.

[0104] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is specifically configured to: in response to the first power being less than the first power threshold or the second power being greater than the second power threshold, control the first load mechanism to move to the receiving mechanism where the solar panel 110 is located.

[0105] Specifically, the first power threshold and the second power threshold are fixed values set in advance, or can be determined according to the power required for the first load mechanism to complete the remaining work. For example, both the first power threshold and the second power threshold are equal to 60% of the power required for the first load mechanism to complete the remaining work, etc.

[0106] The first power being less than the first power threshold indicates that the first load mechanism has insufficient power, and the second power being greater than the second power threshold indicates that the solar panel 110 has sufficient power. Therefore, when the first power is less than the first power threshold and the second power is greater than the second power threshold, the control mechanism 120 controls the first load mechanism to move to the receiving mechanism where the solar panel 110 is located to receive power supply from the solar panel 110 or replace the battery on the first load mechanism with the battery on the solar panel 110.

[0107] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: determine the working mode of the first load mechanism according to the output current value of the solar panel 110, so as to perform automatic management on the first load mechanism.

[0108] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is specifically configured to: determine whether to control the first load mechanism to enter the energy-saving mode according to the type of the first load mechanism and the output current value of the solar panel 110; wherein, after entering the energy-saving mode, at least some of the electrical mechanisms in the first load mechanism are in the off state.

[0109] Specifically, after the first load mechanism enters the energy-saving mode, some of the electrical mechanisms on the first load mechanism are turned off, some electrical mechanisms are not turned off, or all of the electrical mechanisms on the first load mechanism are turned off.

[0110] Wherein, when the output current value of the solar panel 110 is less than the preset current threshold, it indicates that the current ambient light intensity is small, and the first load mechanism can enter the energy-saving mode to avoid the charging power being small and the power consumption of the mechanism operation being too large, resulting in the depletion of the power of the first load mechanism.

[0111] Wherein, the output current value of the solar panel 110 can also characterize the surrounding environment. Therefore, according to the output current value of the solar panel 110, the environment where the first load mechanism is located can be determined, and then according to the type of the first load mechanism, it can be determined whether to control the first load mechanism to enter the energy-saving mode.

[0112] For example, when the first load mechanism includes a mechanism such as a lighting lamp whose energy-saving mode is related to the surrounding environment, if the output current value of the solar panel 110 is less than the preset current threshold, it indicates that the current ambient light intensity is small, and it may be night or cloudy at present. Therefore, the control mechanism 120 controls the lighting lamp to be in the on state to provide lighting; if the output current value is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it indicates that the current ambient light intensity is large, and it may be daytime or cloudy at present, and there is no need for the lighting lamp to provide lighting. Therefore, the control mechanism 120 controls the lighting lamp to enter the energy-saving mode.

[0113] In one embodiment, the first load mechanism includes a monitoring device, and the control mechanism 120 is configured to: determine the weather condition of the day according to the current time period and the output current value of the solar panel 110, and determine whether to control the monitoring device to be in the monitoring state or the off state according to the weather condition of the day.

[0114] Specifically, by checking the current time period and the output current value of the solar panel 110, the weather condition of the day can be intelligently inferred. According to the weather condition of the day, it can be determined whether to keep the monitoring device in the monitoring state.

[0115] For example, if the output current value of the solar panel 110 is less than the preset current during the daytime period or the duration for which the output current value of the solar panel 110 is less than the preset current during the daytime period reaches the preset duration, it can be determined that the current weather condition is cloudy, otherwise it is determined that the current weather condition is sunny.

[0116] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is configured to: when determining that the weather condition of the day is the first weather condition, control the monitoring device to be in the off state during the first time period and in the monitoring state during the second time period, where the first time period is the daytime period of the day and the second time period is the nighttime period of the day; and the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: when determining that the current weather condition is the second weather condition, control the monitoring device to be in the monitoring state throughout the day.

[0117] In an application scenario, the first weather condition is cloudy and the second weather condition is sunny. When determining that the day is cloudy, the control mechanism 120 can set the monitoring device to monitor at night and turn off during the day to save limited solar energy during the day; when determining that the day is sunny, the monitoring device can be controlled to monitor for 24 hours, thereby improving the flexibility of energy utilization.

[0118] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: determine whether the current monitoring scenario is abnormal based on at least one of the current ambient brightness information around the monitoring device, the current time period, and the monitoring scenario type, and issue an alarm signal when it is determined that an abnormality has occurred.

[0119] Specifically, the current ambient brightness information around the monitoring device can be determined based on the output current value of the solar panel 110.

[0120] Based on at least one of the current ambient brightness information around the monitoring device, the current time period, and the monitoring scenario type, the current monitoring scenario can be evaluated to determine whether the current monitoring scenario is abnormal, and an alarm signal can be issued for prompting when an abnormality occurs.

[0121] For example, if the output current value of the solar panel 110 is less than the preset current for a long time within a preset time period (for example, after 6:00 pm to 5:00 am the next day), it indicates that it is a dark night at this time. If the number of target objects monitored by the monitoring device is greater than the number threshold at this time, it can be determined that the monitoring scenario is abnormal, and the monitoring device issues an alarm signal.

[0122] In one embodiment, the solar panel 110 is detachably connected to the receiving mechanism for receiving the solar panel 110. The positive and negative electrodes of the solar panel 110 can be set as contact pieces or plug-in structures, which facilitates the disassembly of the solar panel 110 from the receiving mechanism, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the solar panel 110. In other embodiments, the solar panel 110 and the receiving mechanism can also be integrally formed.

[0123] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is configured to: generate a prompt message to prompt for cleaning the solar panel 110 when it detects that the cleanliness of the solar panel 110 does not meet the requirements. Specifically, when the control mechanism 120 detects that the cleanliness of the solar panel 110 is lower than a preset threshold, it prompts that the solar panel 110 needs to be cleaned. In other embodiments, the control mechanism 120 can also periodically generate prompt messages to remind to clean the solar panel 110 regularly to extend the service life of the solar panel 110. The prompt message can be displayed near the solar panel 110, for example, on the receiving mechanism, or sent to a third-party mechanism, such as a user terminal, and displayed on the user terminal.

[0124] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 120 is configured to: determine that the cleanliness of the solar panel 110 does not meet the requirements when it detects that the output current value of the solar panel 110 in the second weather condition is less than the seventh current threshold. Alternatively, analyze an image including the solar panel 110 to determine whether the cleanliness of the solar panel 110 meets the requirements. Alternatively, detect the surface heat of the solar panel 110, and when it detects that the heat of at least part of the surface of the solar panel 110 is greater than the heat threshold, determine that the cleanliness of the solar panel 110 does not meet the requirements.

[0125] Specifically, the second weather condition can be sunny. When the control mechanism 120 detects that the output current value of the solar panel 110 on a sunny day is less than the seventh current threshold, it determines that the cleanliness of the solar panel 110 does not meet the requirements. Alternatively, the control mechanism 120 can collect an image of the solar panel 110, use computer vision technology to detect dirt, dust and other impurities on the solar panel 110, and judge whether the cleanliness of the solar panel 110 meets the requirements by comparing the dirt conditions in the image. Alternatively, considering that when the cleanliness of the solar panel 110 does not meet the requirements, there will be a phenomenon of abnormal heat in a local area of the surface of the solar panel 110, so the surface heat of the solar panel 110 can also be detected, and when it detects that the heat of at least part of the surface of the solar panel 110 is greater than the heat threshold, determine that the cleanliness of the solar panel 110 does not meet the requirements. A heat sensor can be installed to detect the temperature of the surface of the solar panel 110 and compare it with a set heat threshold to determine whether the cleanliness meets the requirements. An infrared image of the solar panel 110 can also be obtained to determine the heat on the surface of the solar panel.

[0126] In one embodiment, the first load mechanism is directly powered by the solar panel 110, and the control mechanism 120 is further configured to: control the first load mechanism to supply power to the second load mechanism. Specifically, the second load mechanism and the first load mechanism are different in the power supply method. The first load mechanism is directly powered by the solar panel 110, and the control mechanism 120 controls the first load mechanism to supply power to the second load mechanism. The first load mechanism can charge the second load mechanism wirelessly or wiredly.

[0127] In one embodiment, the first load mechanism includes a swimming cover, and the second load mechanism includes devices around the swimming pool. The control mechanism 120 is configured to: control the swimming cover to receive power supply from the solar panel 110, and control the swimming cover to supply power to the devices around the swimming pool. Specifically, while receiving power supply from the solar panel 110, the swimming cover can also supply power to the devices around the swimming pool in a wired or wireless manner, conveniently realizing the power supply to the devices around the swimming pool.

[0128] In another embodiment, combined with Figure 2 , the first load mechanism includes a flipping plate 130. The control mechanism 120 is configured to: control the flipping plate 130 to perform a flipping action under the power supply of the solar panel 110 ( Figure 2 In [the figure] are two states of the flipping plate 130 flipping upward and flipping downward), where the solar panel 110 is disposed on one side surface of the flipping plate 130. Specifically, the flipping plate 130 can be flipped under the electric energy provided by the solar panel 110 to dock at the first load mechanism, such as a pool robot, located at position 200 in the connection mechanism (such as a base station) of the flipping plate 130, shielding sunlight, and can also charge other first load mechanisms such as the pool robot and the base station itself. Wherein, the solar panel 110 is disposed on one side surface of the flipping plate 130. When the flipping plate 130 shields sunlight for the pool robot, the solar panel 110 can be charged.

[0129] In another embodiment, the solar panel 110 itself can shield sunlight for the first load mechanism and be charged.
