[0037] ReferenceFigures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a kind of collision detection structure, including shell 1 and buffer assembly 2, shell 1 is equipped with sensing component 121;Buffer assembly 2 is movably arranged on the outer periphery of shell 1, buffer assembly 2 is equipped with magnetic piece 24, magnetic piece 24 is located just below sensing component 121 relatively;Buffer assembly 2 is moved after stress, and magnetic piece 24 is suitable for relatively away from sensing component 121, so that sensing component 121 can detect the magnetic piece 24 relatively away from sensing component 121 and generate electric signal.
[0038] In the embodiment, the magnetic piece 24 of the buffer assembly 2 is arranged just below the sensing component 121 of the shell 1, and the buffer assembly 2 is movably arranged on the outer periphery of the shell 1. When the buffer assembly 2 is subjected to external force, the magnetic piece 24 and the sensing component 121 move away from each other, the sensing component 121 generates an electric signal and determines the direction of the obstacle. At this time, the sensing component 121 has high sensitivity and high precision.
[0039] Specifically, the buffer assembly 2 is movably arranged on the outer periphery of the shell 1, and the buffer assembly 2 can offset the impact force generated by the shell 1 hitting the obstacle, preventing the shell 1 from being damaged. The shell 1 is provided with a sensing component 121. The buffer assembly 2 is provided with a magnetic piece 24 located just below the sensing component 121. When not hitting the obstacle, the magnetic piece 24 is located just below the sensing component 121, and the sensing component 121 does not generate an electric signal or generates a small electric signal. When the buffer assembly 2 is subjected to external force and moves, the magnetic piece 24 moves away from the sensing component 121 and the magnetic field strength of the magnetic piece 24 changes, and the sensing component 121 converts the changed magnetic signal into an electric signal. Unlike the existing magnetic piece 24 and sensing component 121, which generate an electric signal by moving close to each other, in the present application, as long as the magnetic piece 24 moves away from the sensing component 121, the sensing component 121 can generate an electric signal accordingly. The sensing component 121 has high sensitivity and high precision in sensing the magnetic piece 24.
[0040] In more detail, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 4The buffer assembly 2 comprises a first part 21, a second part 22 and a third part 23, the first part 21 and the third part 23 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the shell 1, the second part 22 is connected to the first part 21 and the third part 23 and is located in front of the shell 1, the left and right sides of the shell 1 are respectively provided with an induction assembly 121, and the first part 21 and the third part 23 are respectively provided with a magnetic piece 24; when the induction assembly 121 on the left side of the shell 1 detects the magnetic field change of the magnetic piece 24 on the first part 21 and generates an electric signal, there is an obstacle on the left side of the shell 1; when the induction assembly 121 on the right side of the shell 1 detects the magnetic field change of the magnetic piece 24 on the third part 23 and generates an electric signal, there is an obstacle on the right side of the shell 1; when the induction assemblies 121 on the left and right sides of the shell 1 detect the magnetic field changes of the magnetic pieces 24 on the first part 21 and the third part 23 and generate electric signals, there is an obstacle in front of the shell 1. The buffer assembly 2 is in a C shape, and the buffer assembly 2 is suitable for covering the front end, the left end and the right end of the shell 1. The collision detection structure of the present application only needs to be provided with induction assemblies 121 on the left and right sides of the shell 1, and the buffer assembly 2 is provided with magnetic pieces 24 matched with the induction assemblies 121, so that the obstacles on the left side, the right side and the front of the shell 1 can be detected, the front of the shell 1 is not provided with the induction assemblies 121 and the magnetic pieces 24, and only when the magnetic pieces 24 on the left and right sides of the shell 1 move at the same time and the induction assemblies 121 on the left and right sides of the shell 1 generate electric signals, there is an obstacle in front of the shell 1, the number of the induction assemblies 121 and the magnetic pieces 24 is the least, the utilization is the highest, and the cost is low. It should be noted that in the transformed embodiment, the induction assemblies 121 can also be arranged on the buffer assembly 2, and the magnetic pieces 24 are correspondingly arranged on the shell 1, that is, the corresponding positions of the induction assemblies 121 and the magnetic pieces 24 are not limited by the present application.
[0041] Further, the induction assembly 121 is arranged on the bottom of the shell 1, and the inner side wall of the first part 21 and the third part 23 is further provided with a placing part 231, the placing part 231 is located below the shell 1, and the magnetic piece 24 is arranged on the placing part 231 and matched with the induction assembly 121. In the embodiment, the inner side wall of the buffer assembly 2 is provided with the placing part 231, the placing part 231 extends to below the shell 1, so that the magnetic piece 24 is matched with the induction assembly 121 up and down.
[0042] Specifically, the sensing assembly 121 is preferably a Hall sensor, which is located opposite to the bottom side wall inside the shell 1. The sensing assembly 121 is located opposite to the inside of the shell 1, which can enhance the safety performance of the sensing assembly 121, and avoid water entering or damaging the sensing assembly 121. The placement portion 231 is located below the bottom plate 12 of the shell 1. The placement portion 231 is preferably located in the middle of the first portion 21 and the third portion 23 of the buffer assembly 2 in the front-rear direction. The magnetic member 24 is preferably a magnet, which is located opposite to the top of the placement portion 231 of the buffer assembly 2. The placement portion 231 can be fixedly installed inside the buffer assembly 2 by screws or other fasteners, or can be integrally formed with the buffer assembly 2, which is not limited further herein. It is worth noting that the sensing assembly 121 can also be an anisotropic magnetoresistive sensor, a tunnel magnetoresistive sensor, a microswitch, or a travel switch, as long as it can judge the signal change through the displacement or magnetic change of the magnetic member 24, which is not limited further herein.
[0043] Further, with reference to Figures 2 to 4 Further, the limiting member 25 is adapted to abut against the outer side wall of the buffer assembly 2 and the inner side wall of the shell 1, so that when one side of the shell 1 is subjected to an external force, one side of the buffer assembly 2 moves, and the other side of the buffer assembly 2 is limited by the limiting member 25 and remains stationary, so that the left and right sides of the buffer assembly 2 do not interfere with each other.
[0044] In this embodiment, the limiting member 25 is adapted to abut against the outer side wall of the buffer assembly 2 and the inner side wall of the shell 1, so that when one side of the buffer assembly 2 is deformed and approaches the shell 1, the other end of the buffer assembly 2 also moves away from the shell 1, preventing the left and right sides of the buffer assembly 2 from affecting each other, and improving the accuracy of the sensing assembly 121.
[0045] Specifically, the limiting piece 25 makes the other side of the buffer assembly 2 not move outward and generate an electrical signal after one side of the buffer assembly 2 hits an obstacle, solves the interference problem of each position of the buffer assembly 2 hitting, detects more accurately, can accurately judge the corresponding hitting area after the sensing assembly 121 triggers, the corresponding sensing areas of the two sensing assemblies 121 triggered separately and the two sensing assemblies 121 triggered simultaneously do not coincide, the detection is more accurate, and misjudgment caused by overlapping detection areas is avoided. Because the application has only sensing assemblies 121 on both sides of the shell 1, when one side of the buffer assembly 2 is subjected to an external force, the other side of the buffer assembly 2 will generate a force away from the shell 1 according to the principle of the lever. In order to avoid the other side of the buffer assembly 2 moving away from the shell 1 and the magnetic piece 24 moving away from the sensing assembly 121, the application sets a limiting piece 25 for limiting the tendency of the buffer assembly 2 to move outward. At this time, the side wall of the buffer assembly 2 cannot exceed the outer edge of the shell 1, that is, the buffer assembly 2 can only move inward, forward and backward, thereby avoiding the mutual interference of the forces on both sides of the buffer assembly 2. The magnetic piece 24 is located directly below the sensing assembly 121. In the initial state, the magnetic piece 24 and the sensing assembly 121 are close to each other, and the initial signal value is A. After the buffer assembly 2 is hit, the magnetic piece 24 can move away from the sensing assembly 121 from the left, front, rear or right, front, rear directions. After the magnetic piece 24 and the sensing assembly 121 move away from each other, the signal value is B at this time. The sensing assembly 121 changes the signal, and it is determined that the collision is triggered. The detection range of the magnetic piece 24 and the sensing assembly 121 moving away from each other is wider. The displacement of the magnetic piece 24 in the left, front, and rear directions will all cause the sensing assembly 121 to generate an electrical signal. The sensing assembly 121 has high sensitivity and high precision in sensing the movement of the magnetic piece 24.
[0046] Preferably, the limiting piece 25 is arranged on the top of the buffer assembly 2, and the shell 1 is provided with a movable groove, and the limiting piece 25 is movably arranged in the movable groove. When the magnetic piece 24 is located directly below the sensing assembly 121, the limiting piece 25 abuts against one end of the movable groove away from the shell 1, that is, when the buffer assembly 2 is subjected to an external force, it can only move inward, so that the force on the buffer assembly 2 corresponds to the electrical signal generated by the sensing assembly 121, and other interference is avoided. The limiting piece 25 is preferably a limiting column, a limiting block, a limiting hook, a limiting rope or other limiting structures. Of course, the position of the limiting piece 25 can also be in other areas and other forms, as long as the movement of the magnetic piece 24 on one side of the buffer assembly 2 does not interfere with the magnetic piece 24 on the other side of the buffer assembly 2.
[0047] Specifically, the shell 1 comprises an upper cover 11 and a bottom plate 12, the upper cover 11 is adapted to cover the bottom plate 12, the bottom of the upper cover 11 is further provided with a movable slot, the limiting piece 25 at the top of the buffer assembly 2 is adapted to be slidably installed in the movable slot at the bottom of the upper cover 11, the buffer assembly 2 is movably connected to the bottom plate 12 through the elastic piece 13, the elastic piece 13 vertically connects the shell 1 and the buffer assembly 2, the activity and freedom of the buffer assembly 2 are better, and the three-direction movement of the magnetic piece 24 on the buffer assembly 2 is facilitated. The elastic piece 13 comprises four elastic rubber columns, the four elastic rubber columns are oppositely located at the four corners of the buffer assembly 2, and the axial ends of the elastic rubber columns are adapted to be fixedly connected to the bottom plate 12 of the shell 1 and the bottom of the buffer assembly 2, so that the stability of the buffer assembly 2 is better. It is worth noting that the forming mode of the movable slot is not limited by the present application, which can be a groove formed in the bottom of the upper cover 11 and forming a movable slot, or the outer edge of the upper cover 11 can be beyond the outer edge of the bottom plate 12, so that there is a gap between the outer edge of the upper cover 11 and the outer edge of the bottom plate 12 and forming a movable slot, and the limiting piece 25 is adapted to abut against the inner side wall of the outer edge of the upper cover 11. In the transformed embodiment, the limiting piece 25 can also be arranged at the bottom of the upper cover 11 and adapted to abut against the outer side wall of the buffer assembly 2, so that the outer side wall of the buffer assembly 2 does not exceed the inner side wall of the upper cover 11. At the same time, the movable connection of the buffer assembly 2 and the shell 1 comprises but is not limited to the elastic piece 13, and can also be achieved by the mechanisms such as sliding groove and sliding rail, sliding groove and sliding block, and straight gear rack.
[0048] Further, the limiting piece 25 is arranged at the top of the buffer assembly 2 and above the placement portion 231 of the buffer assembly 2, and the central axis of the limiting piece 25, the central axis of the magnetic piece 24 and the central axis of the induction assembly 121 are all located on the same vertical plane in the width direction of the shell 1.
[0049] In the present embodiment, the limiting piece 25 is arranged at the top of the buffer assembly 2 and directly above the placement portion 231, the central axis of the limiting piece 25, the central axis of the magnetic piece 24 and the central axis of the induction assembly 121 are all located on the same vertical plane in the width direction of the shell 1, the limiting piece 25 is relatively close to the magnetic piece 24, and the limiting effect of the limiting piece 25 on the magnetic piece 24 is best.
[0050] Specifically, the induction assembly 121 is located directly above the magnetic piece 24, and the distance between the induction assembly 121 and the magnetic piece 24 is the smallest. Preferably, the induction assembly 121 is coaxially arranged with the magnetic piece 24. The limiting piece 25 is two, and the two limiting pieces 25 are arranged on the left and right sides of the buffer assembly 2 respectively. The limiting piece 25 is located above the magnetic piece 24 or the placement part 231. The limiting piece 25 and the magnetic piece 24 are arranged in the width direction of the shell 1. The central axis of the limiting piece 25 is parallel to the central axis of the induction assembly 121 and the central axis of the magnetic piece 24. At this time, the central axis of the limiting piece 25, the central axis of the magnetic piece 24, and the central axis of the induction assembly 121 are located on the same vertical plane in the width direction of the shell 1. The limiting piece 25 is relatively close to the magnetic piece 24. The distance between the limiting piece 25 and the magnetic piece 24 is the shortest. The limiting effect of the limiting piece 25 on the magnetic piece 24 is the best. The outward movement of the magnetic piece 24 can be effectively avoided, and the accidental outward movement of the magnetic piece 24 is reduced. It is worth noting that the two groups of induction assemblies 121, magnetic pieces 24 and limiting pieces 25 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the width direction of the shell 1.
[0051] Further, the application provides a mower comprising the collision detection structure in any of the above embodiments. In this embodiment, through the position arrangement and structure design of the collision detection structure, the purpose of being able to judge the direction of the obstacle through contact type obstacle avoidance in the working of the mower is achieved, and then reasonable obstacle avoidance action is made, and the obstacle avoidance ability and efficiency of the machine are improved.
[0052] Specifically, the application detects the obstacle signal by combining the magnetic piece 24 and the induction assembly 121. After the machine collides with the obstacle, the magnetic piece 24 at the collision point position moves away from the induction assembly 121. The induction assembly 121 detects the change of the signal. The corresponding collision point position has the obstacle. The robot can make correct obstacle avoidance action and make reasonable path planning.
[0053] The shell 1 can be the outer shell of the robot. The left side, the right side and the front of the shell 1 are surrounded by a semicircular arc-shaped buffer assembly 2. The buffer assembly 2 is suspended on the chassis 12 of the shell 1 through four elastic rubber columns. When the buffer assembly 2 of the robot contacts the obstacle, the buffer assembly 2 drives the elastic rubber column to displace and deform. When the obstacle is removed, the elastic force of the elastic rubber makes the buffer assembly 2 automatically return. Two limiting pieces 25 are arranged above the magnetic pieces 24 on the left and right sides of the buffer assembly 2. When the robot upper cover 11 is installed, the two limiting columns are tightly attached to the inner side of the robot upper cover 11. When the buffer assembly 2 is subjected to force on the left and right sides, due to the action of the limiting piece 25, only the force receiving side of the buffer assembly 2 displaces and deforms, and the other side basically remains unchanged.
[0054] When the front side collides with the obstacle, the buffer assembly 2 moves backward as a whole: the left magnetic piece 24 moves away from the left inductive assembly 121, and the left inductive assembly 121 is triggered; the right magnetic piece 24 moves away from the right inductive assembly 121, and the right inductive assembly 121 is triggered; the left and right inductive assemblies 121 are triggered at the same time, which represents that the front side encounters the obstacle, and the robot makes corresponding obstacle avoidance actions.
[0055] When the left side collides with the obstacle, the buffer assembly 2 moves to the right: the left magnetic piece 24 moves away from the left inductive assembly 121, and the left inductive assembly 121 is triggered; the right limiting piece 25 of the buffer assembly 2 is limited after colliding with the robot upper cover 11, so that the right magnetic piece 24 basically remains in the original position close to the right inductive assembly 121, and the right inductive assembly 121 is not triggered; at this time, it represents that the left side of the robot encounters the obstacle, and the robot makes corresponding obstacle avoidance actions.
[0056] When the right side collides with the obstacle, the buffer assembly 2 moves to the left: the right magnetic piece 24 moves away from the right inductive assembly 121, and the right inductive assembly 121 is triggered; the left limiting piece 25 of the buffer assembly 2 is limited after colliding with the robot upper cover 11, so that the left magnetic piece 24 basically remains in the original position close to the left inductive assembly 121, and the left inductive assembly 121 is not triggered; at this time, it represents that the right side of the robot encounters the obstacle, and the robot makes corresponding obstacle avoidance actions.
[0057] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, on the premise of not departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
