Detailed Implementation

[0013] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments described herein. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the protection scope of this application. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0014] This application provides an automatic lawn irrigation device 100, which will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automatic lawn irrigation device 100 includes a main body 110, an irrigation assembly 120, and a controller. The main body 110 includes a support platform 111 for supporting an automatic lawn mower 200. The support platform 111 includes a charging device 1110, which charges the automatic lawn mower 200 when it is positioned on the support platform 111. The irrigation assembly 120 includes a water pipe 121, a nozzle 122, and a switch. At least a portion of the water pipe 121 is located within the main body 110. The water pipe 121 is connected to the nozzle 122, which is used to irrigate the lawn in a target area. The switch allows the water pipe 121 to be opened or closed. The controller controls the switch.

[0015] The main body 110 of the automatic lawn irrigation equipment 100 includes a support platform 111, which supports the automatic lawn mower 200. When the automatic lawn mower 200 is not performing mowing operations, it can be placed on the support platform 111 for storage. The support platform 111 includes a charging device 1110, which can charge the automatic lawn mower 200 while it is placed on the support platform 111 to ensure that it has sufficient power during use.

[0016] The automatic lawn irrigation system 100 also includes an irrigation component 120 and a controller. The irrigation component 120 includes a water flow pipe 121, a nozzle 122, and a switch. At least a portion of the water flow pipe 121 is located within a main body 110, which protects and supports the irrigation component 120. The water flow pipe 121 is connected to the nozzle 122, providing a water source for the nozzle 122 to spray water and irrigate the target lawn area. The controller controls the switch to open or close the water flow pipe 121. When the switch opens the water flow pipe 121, the nozzle 122 sprays water to irrigate the target lawn area; when the switch closes the water flow pipe 121, the nozzle 122 is in an un-irrigated state.

[0017] In this way, not only can the automatic lawn mower 200 be parked and charged through the support platform 111 of the main body 110, but the irrigation component 120 can also be set on the main body 110, realizing the combination of the irrigation component 120 and the support platform 111 of the automatic lawn mower 200, reducing the number of devices that users manage and maintain, thereby reducing the complexity and cost of use.

[0018] For example, the switch may include a valve. The valve is electrically connected to a controller and is located within the water flow pipe 121. The controller can control the valve to open or close, thereby opening or closing the water flow pipe 121. Furthermore, the controller can also control the valve opening degree to adjust the water flow rate and pressure within the water flow pipe 121, thereby adjusting the irrigation distance of the sprinkler head 122. The valve can be a ball valve, plug valve, butterfly valve, gate valve, globe valve, needle valve, solenoid valve, or angle seat valve. It is understood that the above description of the switch is merely exemplary, and the specific type of switch is acceptable as long as it implements the technical principles of this application.

[0019] For example, the controller can control the switch based on the status of the automatic lawn mower 200.

[0020] The automatic lawn mowing device 200 and the irrigation component 120 can perform mowing and irrigation operations on the lawn within the same target area, respectively. The controller can control a switch based on the status of the automatic lawn mowing device 200 to adjust the irrigation status of the irrigation component 120. This allows the automatic lawn mowing device 200 and the irrigation component 120 to work collaboratively, improving the effectiveness of both operations. For example, the irrigation status of the irrigation component 120 can include performing irrigation or stopping irrigation. The controller can switch the switch according to different states of the automatic lawn mowing device 200, thereby controlling the irrigation component 120 to switch between different irrigation states, such as performing or stopping irrigation, as illustrated below.

[0021] For example, the status of the automatic lawn mower 200 includes its charging status, operating status, or location.

[0022] The automatic lawn mower 200 can be in a charging state or a non-charging state. When the automatic lawn mower 200 is in the charging state, it means that the automatic lawn mower 200 is located on the support platform 111 and is not in the target irrigation area of ​​the irrigation component 120. In this state, if the irrigation component 120 has an irrigation task, the controller can control the switch to open the water pipe 121, causing the irrigation component 120 to perform the irrigation operation.

[0023] If the automatic lawn mower 200 is not in a charging state, it means that the automatic lawn mower 200 is not located on the support platform 111. If the irrigation component 120 has an irrigation task, the controller can first control the switch to close the water pipe 121. If it is determined that the automatic lawn mower 200 is not in the target irrigation area of ​​the irrigation component 120, the controller controls the switch to open the water pipe 121.

[0024] It is understood that the term "automatic lawn mower 200 is in charging state" can mean that the automatic lawn mower 200 is connected to or correspondingly set with the charging device 1110, that the charging device 1110 is charging the automatic lawn mower 200, or that the charging device 1110 has fully charged the automatic lawn mower 200, and the automatic lawn mower 200 is still on the support platform 111. "Automatic lawn mower 200 is not in charging state" can mean that the automatic lawn mower 200 is not connected to or correspondingly set with the charging device 1110, that is, the automatic lawn mower 200 is not on the support platform 111.

[0025] The operating state of the automatic lawn mower 200 can include a state where the automatic lawn mower 200 is performing lawn mowing operations and a state where it is not performing lawn mowing operations. For example, when the automatic lawn mower 200 is in the state of performing lawn mowing operations, it means that the automatic lawn mower 200 is in the target irrigation area of ​​the irrigation component 120. In this state, if the irrigation component 120 has an irrigation task, the controller can control the switch to close the water flow pipe 121.

[0026] For example, if the automatic lawn mower 200 is not performing a mowing operation, it means that the automatic lawn mower 200 is not in the target irrigation area of ​​the irrigation component 120. In this state, if the irrigation component 120 has an irrigation task, the controller can control the switch to open the water pipe 121, and the irrigation component 120 will perform the cleaning operation.

[0027] The location of the automatic lawn mower 200 can include being outside or within the target irrigation area. Being outside the target irrigation area can mean the automatic lawn mower 200 is located on the support platform 111, outside the lawn, or in another location where it cannot be irrigated by the irrigation component 120. This is not specifically limited, as long as the location of the automatic lawn mower 200 cannot be irrigated by any stream of water from the sprinkler head 122.

[0028] If the irrigation assembly 120 has an irrigation task, and the automatic mower 200 is outside the target irrigation area, the controller can control the switch to open the water pipe 121, and the irrigation assembly 120 will perform the irrigation operation. If the automatic mower 200 is within the target irrigation area, the controller can control the switch to close the water pipe 121, and the irrigation assembly 120 will stop performing the irrigation operation.

[0029] For example, when the automatic lawn mower 200 is in a state including when it is not charged, when it is performing a lawn mowing operation, when it is far from the support platform 111, or when it is located in the target irrigation area of ​​the lawn, the controller controls the switch to close the water pipe 121.

[0030] When the automatic lawn mower 200 is not charged, is performing lawn mowing, is far from the support platform 111, or is located in the target irrigation area of ​​the lawn, if the irrigation component 120 is performing irrigation, the water sprayed by the irrigation component 120 will spray onto the automatic lawn mower 200 and the target irrigation area. The soil in the target irrigation area will become slippery, and the automatic lawn mower 200 may slip or get stuck in the soil when moving within the target irrigation area. In this case, the controller controls the switch to close the water pipe 121, which can reduce the interference of irrigation operations on the movement or mowing of the automatic lawn mower 200, and improve the movement stability or operation effect of the automatic lawn mower 200.

[0031] For example, the automatic lawn mower 200 can be parked on the platform 111 by a user, or it can automatically drive to the platform 111.

[0032] For example, the platform 111 includes a sensor or positioning device that can communicate with the automatic lawn mower 200 to assist the automatic lawn mower 200 in moving onto the platform 111.

[0033] For example, a sensor is mounted on the support platform 111. The sensor can detect the relative position and distance between itself and the automatic lawn mower 200, that is, the relative position and distance between the support platform 111 and the automatic lawn mower 200. The relative position and distance information detected by the sensor can be transmitted to the automatic lawn mower 200, which can adjust its direction and speed of travel based on this information to move towards the support platform 111. The sensor can be at least one of an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, and a vision sensor.

[0034] For example, the positioning device may include a Global Positioning System (GPS), which is installed on the carrier platform 111 to obtain the position information of the carrier platform 111. The position information obtained by the GPS can be transmitted to the automatic lawn mower 200. The automatic lawn mower 200 can adjust its direction of travel and speed according to the position information and its own position information (i.e., the position information of the automatic lawn mower 200) to move to the carrier platform 111.

[0035] In this example, the automatic lawn mower 200 is communicated with by a sensor or positioning device, enabling the automatic lawn mower 200 to move automatically to the support platform 111. This reduces user operation, improves the automation level of the automatic lawn mower 200 and the automatic lawn irrigation equipment 100, and thus enhances the user experience.

[0036] It is understood that the above description of the sensor and positioning device is merely exemplary. The specific configuration of the sensor and positioning device can be set according to the experience of those skilled in the art, or according to the specific usage requirements of the automatic lawn irrigation equipment 100 or the automatic lawn mowing device 200, as long as the technical principles of this application can be realized.

[0037] For example, the charging device 1110 includes a charging connector that extends outward from the outer wall of the body 110 and is used to connect with the electrodes of the automatic lawn mower 200. When the charging connector connects with the electrodes of the automatic lawn mower 200, the charging device 1110 is able to charge the automatic lawn mower 200.

[0038] For example, the main body 110 includes a support platform 111, at least a portion of the water flow pipe 121 is disposed within the main body 110, and the charging docking member extends outward from the outer wall of the main body 110. It can be understood that the outer wall of the main body 110 can be represented as the outer wall of the support platform 111, i.e., as... Figure 1 As shown, the charging docking component extends upward from the outer wall of the support platform 111. The outer wall of the main body 110 can also be represented as the portion of the main body 110 with an internal water flow pipe 121, i.e., as shown... Figure 2As shown, the charging connector extends laterally from the outer wall of the main body. As long as the automatic lawn mower 200 is located on the support platform 111, the charging connector can connect with the electrodes of the automatic lawn mower 200 to charge the automatic lawn mower 200. The specific location of the charging connector is not limited here.

[0039] The charging connector can be a contact connector, equipped with metal contacts that abut against the metal contacts of the electrodes of the automatic lawn mower 200 to charge the automatic lawn mower 200 through physical contact. Alternatively, the charging connector can be a non-contact connector, including a charging coil, to charge the automatic lawn mower 200 wirelessly. The charging connector is waterproof when connected to the automatic lawn mower 200 to improve charging stability and reliability.

[0040] For example, at least part of the charging connector is made of a flexible material. This allows the position of the charging connector to be changed during the docking process with the electrodes of the automatic lawn mower 200, improving the accuracy and stability of the docking.

[0041] For example, the charging docking device includes a docking electrode and a docking connector. The docking electrode is used to connect with the electrode of the automatic lawn mower 200, and the docking connector is connected between the docking electrode and the outer wall of the main body 110. The docking connector is made of a flexible material.

[0042] It should be noted that the above description of the charging connector is merely exemplary. The specific configuration and structure of the charging connector can be configured according to actual charging needs, as long as the technical principles of this application can be achieved.

[0043] For example, the irrigation assembly 120 also includes a rotary drive that enables the nozzle 122 to rotate relative to the water flow pipe 121, the rotation including rotation in the horizontal direction or rotation in the vertical direction.

[0044] A rotary drive unit can be located on the main body 110 or part of the water flow pipe 121. The drive end of the rotary drive unit is connected to the nozzle 122, and the nozzle 122 is rotatably connected to the water flow pipe 121. The rotary drive unit enables the nozzle 122 to rotate horizontally or vertically relative to the water flow pipe 121 to adjust the orientation of the nozzle 122, thereby adjusting the watering position of the irrigation assembly 120 and increasing the watering area of ​​the irrigation assembly 120.

[0045] For example, the rotational drive may include a first drive motor. The water flow pipe 121 includes a first pipe section and a second pipe section connected together. The nozzle 122 is connected to the first pipe section, and the second pipe section is connected to a water source. The drive end of the first drive motor is connected to the first pipe section, and the first drive motor is capable of driving the first pipe section and the nozzle 122 to rotate horizontally relative to the second pipe section.

[0046] The rotary drive may include a second drive motor, the drive end of which is connected to the nozzle 122. The second drive motor can drive the nozzle 122 to rotate vertically relative to the water flow pipe 121.

[0047] It should be noted that the above description of the rotating drive component driving the nozzle 122 to rotate is merely exemplary. The specific setting of the rotating drive component driving the nozzle 122 to rotate can be set according to the experience of those skilled in the art, and also according to the actual structure of the automatic lawn irrigation equipment 100. As long as the technical principle of this application can be realized, the setting of the rotating drive component driving the nozzle 122 to rotate is not specifically limited here.

[0048] For example, the support platform 111 is located below the nozzle 122.

[0049] The support platform 111 can be located directly below the nozzle 122 or to the side of the nozzle 122. When the support platform 111 is located to the side of the nozzle 122, the distance between the projections of the support platform 111 and the nozzle 122 on the ground can be less than or equal to a set distance.

[0050] It is understood that the aforementioned description of the specific position of the support platform 111 below the nozzle 122 is merely exemplary. The specific position between the support platform 111 and the nozzle 122 can be determined through a limited number of experiments, or it can be set according to the water spraying capacity of the nozzle 122 and the size of the automatic mowing device 200, as long as the technical principle of this application can be realized.

[0051] Along the water spray direction of the nozzle 122, the water curtain sprayed by the nozzle 122 is often uneven, generally following a trend of gradually decreasing water volume from far to near the irrigation equipment. The support platform 111 is located below the nozzle 122, which reduces the water flow falling on the automatic lawn mower 200 when the irrigation component 120 is performing irrigation operations, thereby reducing the occurrence of damage to the automatic lawn mower 200 due to water spray and water waste.

[0052] For example, during lawn watering, the water flowing from the sprinkler head 122 will not fall onto the support platform 111 or the automatic lawn mower 200 located on the support platform 111. This reduces the possibility of damage to the automatic lawn mower 200 due to water spray.

[0053] For example, during lawn watering, the pitch angle of the nozzle 122 is greater than or equal to a set angle to prevent the nozzle 122 from spraying water toward the support platform 111 or the automatic lawn mower 200 located on the support platform 111.

[0054] For example, the main body 110 also includes an upper shell, which is located above the support platform 111 and is correspondingly disposed to the support platform 111. When the automatic lawn mower 200 is located on the support platform 111, the upper shell can provide shelter for the automatic lawn mower 200 and the support platform 111 to prevent water from the nozzle 122 from falling onto the support platform 111 or the automatic lawn mower 200 located on the support platform 111.

[0055] It should be noted that the above description of the implementation method of "preventing water from the nozzle 122 from falling onto the support platform 111 or the automatic lawn mowing device 200 located on the support platform 111" is only exemplary. The specific implementation method can be set according to the experience of those skilled in the art, or according to the actual product structure of the automatic lawn irrigation equipment 100, as long as it can realize the technical principle of this application.

[0056] For example, the automatic lawn mower 200 includes waterproof components to make the automatic lawn mower 200 waterproof.

[0057] For example, the automatic lawn irrigation equipment 100 also includes a cleaning component, which is located on the main body 110 or the support platform 111, and is used to clean the automatic lawn mowing device 200.

[0058] After performing the mowing operation, the automatic lawn mower 200 can return to the carrier platform 111. After the automatic lawn mower 200 returns, the cleaning component can clean the plant sap, leaves and soil contaminants that the automatic lawn mower 200 has picked up during the mowing operation, so as to improve the cleanliness of the automatic lawn mower 200 and thus improve the user experience.

[0059] For example, the cleaning assembly may include a cleaning pipe and a cleaning nozzle 122. The cleaning pipe is connected to the cleaning nozzle 122 and is used to supply water to the cleaning nozzle 122. The cleaning nozzle 122 is capable of spraying water onto the automatic lawn mower 200 to clean the automatic lawn mower 200.

[0060] For example, the cleaning nozzle 122 can rotate horizontally or vertically to adjust the spray angle of the cleaning nozzle 122, thereby achieving multi-directional cleaning of the automatic lawn mower 200. The setting height of the cleaning nozzle 122 is lower than that of the nozzle 122 of the irrigation component 120 to increase the water flow rate falling on the automatic lawn mower 200, thereby improving the cleaning effect and efficiency of the automatic lawn mower 200.

[0061] For example, there can be multiple cleaning nozzles 122, which are spaced apart in the vertical or horizontal direction, thereby increasing the area that the automatic lawn mower 200 can clean simultaneously and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0062] With multiple cleaning nozzles 122 spaced apart vertically, the nozzles 122 can be moved horizontally to increase the cleaning area of ​​the automatic lawn mower 200 and improve the cleaning effect.

[0063] It is understood that the above description of the structure of the cleaning component is merely exemplary. The specific structure of the cleaning component can be set according to the experience of those skilled in the art, or according to the actual cleaning needs of the automatic mowing device 200, or according to the specific structure of the body or the support platform 111, as long as the technical principles of this application can be realized.

[0064] For example, the water source for the cleaning components is the same as the water source for the water flow pipe 121. This improves the integration of the automatic lawn irrigation system 100 and reduces the number and complexity of the components used.

[0065] For example, the automatic lawn irrigation system 100 also includes a T-junction pipe. The inlet of the T-junction pipe is connected to a water source, the first outlet of the T-junction pipe is connected to a water flow pipe 121, and the second outlet of the T-junction pipe is connected to a cleaning pipe of the cleaning component. For example, the water source can be the outlet of a municipal water supply or the outlet of a water pump. This reduces the number of pipes and water sources connected to the water source, improving the ease of use of the automatic lawn irrigation system 100.

[0066] For example, the support platform 111 is detachably connected to the main body 110.

[0067] At least a portion of the water pipe 121 is located within the main body 110, and the support platform 111 is detachably connected to the main body 110. That is, the support platform 111 is detachably connected to the portion of the main body 110 containing the water pipe 121. This facilitates cleaning or maintenance of the support platform 111 and improves its maintenance convenience.

[0068] When the automatic lawn irrigation equipment 100 can be adapted to different types of automatic mowing devices 200, the support platform 111 adapted to the automatic mowing device 200 can also be replaced by this detachable connection method to improve the versatility of part of the main body 110 of the automatic lawn irrigation equipment 100, thereby improving the user experience.

[0069] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the accompanying drawings, this application provides a lawn irrigation device 300. The lawn irrigation device 300 will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a lawn irrigation device according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the lawn irrigation equipment 300 may include: a charging device 310, an irrigation nozzle assembly 320, a judgment module, and a control module. The charging device 310 is connected to the irrigation nozzle assembly 320. The charging device 310 is used to charge the automatic lawn mowing device 400. The irrigation nozzle assembly 320 is used to irrigate the lawn in the target area. The judgment module is used to determine whether the state of the automatic lawn mowing device 400 meets predetermined conditions. If it does, the control module controls the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 to stop irrigation or change the irrigation area. The judgment module can be implemented by a controller, processor, or other computing unit.

[0070] For example, the charging device 310 is used to charge the automatic lawnmower 400 to ensure its normal operation. The charging device 310 may include, for example, a charging interface for connecting to a corresponding interface on the automatic lawnmower 400. The charging interface may be a physical contact interface (such as metal contacts), where electrical energy is transferred through physical contact when the automatic lawnmower 400 returns to the charging device 310; alternatively, the charging interface may be a non-contact interface (such as inductive charging or wireless charging), where electrical energy is transferred through electromagnetic induction.

[0071] Furthermore, the charging device 310 may include a support platform 3101, which is used to support the automatic lawn mowing device 400.

[0072] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the support platform 3101 provides a platform for the automatic lawn mower 400 to rest or charge. When the automatic lawn mower 400 completes its mowing task or needs charging, it can return to the support platform 3101. The support platform 3101 can be configured according to the size and weight of the automatic lawn mower 400 to ensure that the support platform 3101 can safely support the automatic lawn mower 400. The support platform 3101 can be flush with the ground or raised above the ground at a certain distance, as long as the technical principles of this application are achieved.

[0073] The irrigation nozzle assembly 320 is used to irrigate the lawn in a target area. The irrigation nozzle assembly 320 may include a piping assembly, nozzles, a valve assembly, and a motor. One end of the piping assembly can be connected to the nozzle, and the other end can be connected to an external water source, allowing water from the external source to reach the nozzle through the piping assembly. The valve assembly can be connected to the piping assembly and can control the opening or closing of the piping assembly. When the piping assembly is open, the motor drives the external water source to the nozzle, thereby irrigating the lawn in the target area. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the watering operation of a watering nozzle assembly according to an embodiment of this application is shown. (Refer to...) Figure 4 When the sprinkler assembly 320 performs irrigation operations, the valve assembly controls the pipeline assembly to open, and then the motor drives the external water source to guide the nozzles to irrigate the target area of ​​the lawn. For example, the angle of the nozzles (such as the horizontal rotation angle and the vertical pitch angle) can also be adjusted by the motor to adjust the irrigation area.

[0074] It is understood that the above description of the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 and its composition is merely exemplary. In practical applications, the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 and its composition can be selectively configured as needed, as long as the technical principles of this application can be achieved.

[0075] The charging device 310 is connected to the irrigation nozzle assembly 320, realizing the functional integration of the charging device 310 and the irrigation nozzle assembly 320. This not only saves space in the entire irrigation system, but also reduces hardware costs. Furthermore, the integration of the charging device 310 and the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 facilitates the maintenance and management of the lawn irrigation equipment.

[0076] The judgment module is used to determine whether the state of the automatic lawn mowing device 400 meets predetermined conditions. The judgment module can be implemented, for example, by a controller or processor. The controller or processor receives state data from various components (such as the charging device 310 and the irrigation nozzle assembly 320) and processes and analyzes the received state data according to a predetermined algorithm. For example, the judgment module can determine whether the state of the automatic lawn mowing device 400 meets predetermined conditions based on the state data of the charging device 310 and the irrigation nozzle assembly 320.

[0077] The control module is used to control the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 to stop irrigation or change the irrigation area when the judgment module determines that the state of the automatic lawn mower 400 meets predetermined conditions. The control module can be implemented, for example, using a microcontroller or a programmable logic controller (PLC). The control module executes predetermined control logic based on the signals from the judgment module. For example, if the automatic lawn mower 400 is within the irrigation area of ​​the irrigation nozzle assembly 320, the control module can control the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 to stop irrigation or change the irrigation area, thereby preventing the lawn from becoming slippery and affecting the mowing effect or the safety of the automatic lawn mower 400.

[0078] When the judgment module determines that the state of the automatic lawn mower 400 meets the predetermined conditions, the control module can control the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 to stop the irrigation operation or change the irrigation area. This allows the irrigation state or irrigation area of ​​the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 to avoid the automatic lawn mower 400 and the area where the automatic lawn mower 400 is located. This reduces the possibility of the water flow of the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 affecting the mowing operation or damaging the components of the automatic lawn mower 400, and avoids conflicts between irrigation and mowing operations. As a result, the intelligence level and overall efficiency of lawn maintenance are effectively improved, the need for manual intervention is reduced, and there is a significant technological advancement.

[0079] It is understood that the judgment module and the control module can be implemented by the same controller or the same processor, or they can be implemented by different controllers (or different processors), as long as the technical principles of this application can be realized.

[0080] It is understood that the above description of the lawn irrigation equipment 300 and its components is merely exemplary. In practical applications, the lawn irrigation equipment 300 and its components can be selectively configured as needed, as long as the technical principles of this application can be achieved.

[0081] For example, the predetermined conditions may include: the automatic lawn mower 400 is performing lawn mowing operations; the automatic lawn mower 400 is not docked with the charging device 310; the automatic lawn mower 400 has not received a charging task or the remaining power has not reached the charging requirement; the distance between the automatic lawn mower 400 and the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 meets a predetermined value; the automatic lawn mower 400 is in an area that the water flow of the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 can reach; the user is operating the automatic lawn mower 400 in the target area; or the lawn mowing task of the automatic lawn mower 400 does not meet the irrigation conditions.

[0082] The predetermined conditions may include: the automatic lawn mower 400 is performing a lawn mowing operation. In this case, the automatic lawn mower 400 and the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 can work together. For example, when the automatic lawn mower 400 is performing a lawn mowing operation, it is necessary to control the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 to stop the irrigation operation or adjust the irrigation area according to the position of the automatic lawn mower 400. For example, the automatic lawn mower performs a lawn mowing operation on a first area, and the irrigation nozzle assembly irrigates a second area (the first area and the second area do not overlap) to avoid the water flow of the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 affecting the lawn mowing operation or damaging the components of the automatic lawn mower 400.

[0083] For example, the predetermined conditions may include: the automatic lawn mower 400 is not connected to the charging device 310, the automatic lawn mower 400 has not received a charging task, or the remaining power has not reached the charging requirement. If the automatic lawn mower 400 is not connected to the charging device 310, or the automatic lawn mower 400 has not received a charging task, or the remaining power has not reached the charging requirement, these situations indicate that the automatic lawn mower 400 may be performing a lawn mowing task or is located on the lawn. In this case, it is necessary to control the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 to stop the irrigation operation or adjust the irrigation area according to the position of the automatic lawn mower 400, so as to avoid the water flow of the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 affecting the lawn mowing operation or damaging the components of the automatic lawn mower 400.

[0084] For example, the predetermined condition may include: the distance between the automatic lawn mower 400 and the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 meets a predetermined value. If the automatic lawn mower 400 is located in an area reachable by the water flow of the irrigation nozzle assembly 320, it indicates that the water flow of the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 will affect the mowing operation of the automatic lawn mower 400 or damage its components. In this case, it is necessary to control the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 to stop irrigation or adjust the irrigation area based on the position of the automatic lawn mower 400.

[0085] For example, if the distance between the automatic mowing device 400 and the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 meets a predetermined value, it indicates that there will be an influence between the automatic mowing device 400 and the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 (e.g., the automatic mowing device 400 and the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 are in the same area or close to each other). In this case, it is necessary to control the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 to stop the irrigation operation or adjust the irrigation area.

[0086] The predetermined value is, for example, set so that the automatic lawn mower 400 is within the irrigation range of the irrigation nozzle assembly 320. Specifically, if the automatic lawn mower 400 enters the irrigation range of the irrigation nozzle assembly 320, the water flow of the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 will affect the mowing operation of the automatic lawn mower 400 or damage its components. In this case, it is necessary to control the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 to stop the irrigation operation or adjust the irrigation area.

[0087] For example, the predetermined condition may include: the user is operating the automatic lawn mower 400 in the target area. If the user is operating the automatic lawn mower 400 on the lawn in the target area, and the sprinkler assembly 320 is watering the target area, the water flow may affect the user, affect the mowing operation of the automatic lawn mower 400, or damage the components of the automatic lawn mower 400. In this case, it is necessary to determine the position of the user and / or the automatic lawn mower 400, and control the sprinkler assembly 320 to stop the watering operation or adjust the watering area.

[0088] For example, the predetermined conditions may include: the mowing task of the automatic lawn mower 400 does not meet the irrigation conditions. If the automatic lawn mower 400 has just finished mowing, the lawn may not need watering temporarily or the irrigation conditions may not be met, such as the interval between the mowing period and the irrigation period not reaching the predetermined duration. In this case, the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 is controlled to stop the irrigation operation or adjust the irrigation area.

[0089] The irrigation conditions may include a predetermined time interval between the mowing period of the automatic lawn mower 400 and the irrigation period of the lawn irrigation equipment 300. For example, the predetermined time interval can be set to 2 hours, meaning that the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 can only be activated for irrigation 2 hours after the automatic lawn mower 400 has finished mowing. By setting a predetermined time interval, sufficient recovery time can be provided for the lawn, preventing damage to the lawn caused by watering immediately after mowing.

[0090] It is understood that the above description of the predetermined conditions, irrigation conditions, predetermined values ​​and predetermined duration is merely exemplary. In practical applications, the predetermined conditions, irrigation conditions, predetermined values ​​and predetermined duration can be selectively set as needed, as long as the technical principles of this application can be achieved.

[0091] Furthermore, the lawn irrigation equipment 300 may also include a positioning device for monitoring the position of the automatic lawn mowing device 400.

[0092] For example, a positioning device can be used to monitor the position of the automatic lawn mower 400, thereby enabling coordinated operation between the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 and the automatic lawn mower 400. For instance, when the automatic lawn mower 400 is performing a mowing task, the positioning device can provide position information to determine whether the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 should stop irrigation or adjust the irrigation area, so as to avoid affecting the automatic lawn mower 400's mowing task or damaging its components. Furthermore, when the automatic lawn mower 400 returns to the charging unit 310, the positioning device can provide navigation to ensure that the automatic lawn mower 400 accurately returns to the support platform 3101. The positioning device can be implemented, for example, by an inertial measurement unit, a visual odometry system, or a GPS device.

[0093] Furthermore, the lawn irrigation equipment 300 may also include: a first signal transmitting device, which is used to send irrigation operation completion information to the automatic mowing device 400 after the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 has completed the irrigation operation.

[0094] For example, after the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 completes the irrigation operation, the first signal transmitting device can send irrigation operation completion information to the automatic lawn mower 400. Correspondingly, the automatic lawn mower 400 is equipped with a signal receiving device (e.g., the second signal receiving module described below). After receiving the irrigation operation completion information, the automatic lawn mower 400 can adjust the mowing plan or replan the mowing path. The first signal transmitting device can be, for example, a wireless communication module (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Zigbee), which can transmit the irrigation operation completion information to the automatic lawn mower 400 in the form of a wireless signal. The first signal transmitting device can also be, for example, a radio frequency identification (RFID) transmitter or an infrared transmitter using infrared communication.

[0095] Furthermore, the lawn irrigation device 300 may also include: a first signal receiving module, which is used to receive the predetermined conditions and send the predetermined conditions to the judgment module.

[0096] For example, the first signal receiving module receives predetermined conditions (such as the working status and charging status of the automatic lawn mower 400) and sends them to the judgment module after receiving the predetermined conditions. The judgment module determines whether it is necessary to adjust the working status of the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 or the irrigation area (e.g., stop irrigation or change the irrigation area) based on the predetermined conditions. The first signal receiving module can be, for example, a wireless communication module (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Zigbee), a radio frequency identification (RFID) receiver for reading the predetermined conditions stored in the RFID tag, or an infrared receiver for receiving predetermined condition information transmitted by infrared signals.

[0097] Furthermore, the lawn irrigation equipment 300 may also include a sensor for detecting lawn condition, weather, or the position of the automatic lawn mowing device 400.

[0098] The lawn irrigation equipment 300 may also include sensors that can detect lawn condition, weather, or the position of the automatic lawn mower 400. For example, a soil moisture sensor can detect the water content of the lawn to determine whether the lawn needs irrigation; a weather sensor can detect rainfall, temperature, or light intensity to determine whether the lawn needs an adjustment to the irrigation schedule; a position sensor (such as a GPS module or an ultrasonic sensor) can detect the position of the automatic lawn mower 400 in real time to ensure that the automatic lawn mower 400 is not affected by the irrigation operation when performing the mowing operation.

[0099] It is understood that the above description of the first signal transmitting device, the first signal receiving module, and the sensor is merely exemplary. In practical applications, the first signal transmitting device, the first signal receiving module, and the sensor can be selectively configured as needed, as long as the technical principles of this application are achieved.

[0100] The lawn irrigation equipment 300 provided in this application achieves coordinated operation of mowing and irrigation through a charging device 310, an irrigation nozzle assembly 320, a judgment module, and a control module. The charging device 310 provides power to the automatic mowing device 400, ensuring its normal operation. The irrigation nozzle assembly 320 irrigates the lawn, providing moisture. The coordinated operation of the judgment module and the control module monitors the status of the automatic mowing device 400, such as whether it is performing a mowing task or is connected to the charging device. When the status of the automatic mowing device 400 meets predetermined conditions (e.g., the automatic mowing device is performing a mowing task within the spraying range), the control module controls the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 to stop irrigation or change the irrigation area to prevent the lawn from becoming slippery, affecting the mowing effect or the safety of the equipment. The lawn irrigation equipment 300 of this application, through coordinated operation, improves the efficiency and accuracy of lawn care, meeting the needs of automated lawn care.

[0101] This application provides an automatic lawn mowing device 400 for performing lawn mowing operations in a target area. The automatic lawn mowing device 400 may include a second signal receiving module, a control module, and a judgment module. The second signal receiving module is capable of receiving status information from a lawn irrigation device 300 in the target area. The judgment module is capable of determining whether the status of the lawn irrigation device 300 meets a predetermined condition based on the status information. If the condition is met, the control module controls the automatic lawn mowing device 400 to stop the lawn mowing operation.

[0102] The automatic lawn mowing device 400 is used to perform lawn mowing operations in a target area. The automatic lawn mowing device 400 may include a second signal receiving module, a control module, and a judgment module.

[0103] The second signal receiving module can receive status information from the lawn irrigation equipment 300 within the target area. This status information may include, for example, whether the irrigation nozzle assembly 320 of the lawn irrigation equipment 300 is performing irrigation operations, the irrigation range of the irrigation nozzle assembly 320, or the status of the charging device 310. The settings, functions, and implementation of the second signal receiving module are the same as or similar to those of the first signal receiving module described in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0104] The judgment module can determine whether the state of the lawn irrigation equipment 300 meets predetermined conditions based on the state information. The control module is used to control the automatic lawn mowing device 400 to stop mowing when the judgment module determines that the state of the lawn irrigation equipment 300 meets the predetermined conditions. The settings, functions, and implementation methods of the judgment module and the control module in this embodiment are the same as or similar to the descriptions of the judgment module and the control module in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0105] It is understood that the above description of the automatic lawn mowing device 400 and its components is merely exemplary. In practical applications, the automatic lawn mowing device 400 and its components can be selectively configured as needed, as long as the technical principles of this application are achieved.

[0106] Furthermore, the predetermined conditions may include: the lawn irrigation device 300 has performed an irrigation task within a predetermined time interval; the lawn condition sent by the lawn irrigation device 300 is unfavorable for the automatic mowing device 400 to perform mowing operations or will damage the lawn after mowing; the irrigation task period of the lawn irrigation device 300 at least partially overlaps with the mowing task period; or the weather information stored by the lawn irrigation device 300 indicates that it is not suitable for mowing operations.

[0107] For example, if the lawn irrigation equipment 300 has performed the irrigation task within a predetermined time interval (e.g., 2 hours), it indicates that the state of the lawn irrigation equipment 300 meets the predetermined conditions. At this time, the automatic mowing device 400 should be controlled to stop the mowing operation, thereby avoiding damage to the lawn by the automatic mowing device 400.

[0108] For example, if the lawn condition sent by the lawn irrigation equipment 300 is that the lawn is in poor condition or has high humidity (such as pests, diseases, wilting, etc.), it is not conducive to the automatic lawn mowing device 400 to perform lawn mowing operations or the lawn will be damaged after mowing. In order to protect the lawn, the automatic lawn mowing device 400 should be controlled to stop the lawn mowing operation.

[0109] For example, if the irrigation task of the lawn watering equipment 300 and the mowing task overlap at least partially, under this condition, the control module controls the automatic mowing device 400 to stop mowing, so that the mowing task of the automatic mowing device 400 can automatically avoid the irrigation task of the lawn watering equipment 300, thereby avoiding the conflict between the irrigation and mowing operations caused by the lawn watering equipment 300 and the automatic mowing device 400 performing irrigation and mowing operations in the same or adjacent target areas at the same time.

[0110] For example, the weather information stored in the lawn watering equipment 300 indicates that it is not suitable for mowing operations. For instance, in weather conditions such as rain, storms, hail, or extreme heat, mowing may affect the health of the lawn or damage the components of the automatic lawn mowing device 400. In such cases, the automatic lawn mowing device 400 should be stopped from mowing operations.

[0111] Furthermore, the automatic lawn mowing device 400 may also include a second signal transmitting device, which is used to send an end signal to the lawn irrigation device 300 after completing the lawn mowing operation.

[0112] For example, the automatic lawn mowing device 400 may further include a second signal transmitting device, which sends an end signal to the lawn irrigation device 300 after the automatic lawn mowing device 400 has completed its mowing operation. The function and implementation of the second signal transmitting device are the same as or similar to the description of the first signal transmitting device in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0113] Furthermore, the automatic lawn mowing device 400 may also include a charging port. The lawn irrigation equipment 300 is equipped with a charging device 310, and the automatic lawn mowing device 400 can automatically approach the charging device 310, thereby connecting the charging port with the charging device 310.

[0114] For example, the automatic lawn mowing device 400 may also include a charging port for docking with the charging device 310 on the lawn irrigation equipment 300. When the automatic lawn mowing device 400 has low battery or has completed its mowing task, it can be guided by a navigation system or sensors to move towards the charging device 310 and adjust its position to ensure accurate docking of the charging port with the charging device 310, thereby achieving automatic charging. The charging port may be, for example, a USB interface for direct charging or a wireless charging interface for charging via electromagnetic induction.

[0115] This application also provides a lawn irrigation method, which includes irrigation operations using the lawn irrigation equipment described in any of the above claims, or irrigation operations using the automatic lawn irrigation equipment described in any of the above claims.

[0116] Since the lawn irrigation method of this application includes irrigation operations using any of the lawn irrigation equipment or automatic lawn irrigation equipment described above, the lawn irrigation method of this application has the beneficial effects of any of the lawn irrigation equipment or automatic lawn irrigation equipment described above, which will not be elaborated here.
