Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
The embodiment of the invention mainly aims at the technical problems that in the related art, when the water dispenser needs to be charged, a user needs to manually control the water dispenser to return to the charging equipment for charging, the charging efficiency of the water dispenser is reduced, and inconvenience is brought to the user.
According to the charging method of the water dispenser, the position of the charging device is accurately determined according to the wireless positioning signal sent by the charging device, the driving direction of the water dispenser for returning to charge is further determined, the probability that the position of the water dispenser, which automatically returns to the charging device, is successfully butted with the charging device is improved through accurate positioning of the charging device, the automatic control of the water dispenser for returning to charge is realized, and the intelligence and the reliability of the water dispenser for charging are improved.
The following describes a water dispenser, a charging method, a device and equipment thereof according to an embodiment of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a charging method of a water dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the charging method of the water dispenser comprises the following steps:
step 101, when the water dispenser needs to be charged, detecting a first wireless positioning signal sent by a charging device, wherein the first wireless positioning signal is sent by a first signal transmitter arranged on the charging device.
When the electric quantity of the water dispenser is insufficient, the water dispenser needs to be charged in order to ensure that the water dispenser can perform subsequent work. In specific application, whether the water dispenser needs to be charged or not can be judged in different modes.
As a possible implementation manner, an electric quantity detection device is arranged on a rechargeable battery of the water dispenser in advance, during operation of the water dispenser, the electric quantity detection device detects the residual electric quantity of the rechargeable battery in real time, and when the detected residual electric quantity is smaller than a preset first threshold value, it is determined that the water dispenser needs to be charged, wherein the first threshold value is a minimum electric quantity threshold value for maintaining normal operation of the water dispenser, for example, 10% of the total electric quantity.
As another possible implementation manner, when the user determines that the water dispenser needs to be charged, a voice charging instruction may be sent to the water dispenser to actively control the water dispenser to be charged, and then, after the voice receiving device on the water dispenser detects the instruction sent by the user, the remaining power of the water dispenser is detected by a power detection device preset on the rechargeable battery, and the remaining power is compared with a preset second threshold, where the second threshold is a preset power threshold for charging the water dispenser, for example, 70% of the total power. It can be understood that when the remaining capacity of the battery is large, the battery is still continuously charged, which may cause the internal pressure of the battery to rise and cause damage, so that after the remaining capacity is compared with the preset second threshold, if the detected remaining capacity is smaller than the second threshold, it is determined that the water dispenser needs to be charged, if the detected remaining capacity is greater than or equal to the second threshold, it is determined that the water dispenser does not need to be charged, and the battery is damaged for avoiding overcharging, and a voice output device on the water dispenser sends a voice prompt message that the water dispenser does not need to be charged at present to a user.
Further, when it is determined that the water dispenser needs to be charged, a first signal receiver on the water dispenser is started to receive a first wireless positioning signal transmitted by a first signal transmitter arranged on the charging device, wherein the first wireless positioning signal can be an ultrasonic signal, an infrared signal or a bluetooth signal and the like for determining the position of the charging device, and the first wireless positioning signal has the characteristics of large beam width and long wavelength, so that the propagation range of the first wireless positioning signal is wide, the water dispenser at different positions can receive the first wireless positioning signal conveniently, the orientation information of the charging device can be determined subsequently according to the direction of the received first wireless signal, and the applicable distance of the charging method of the water dispenser in the embodiment of the invention is expanded.
In specific implementation, as a possible implementation manner, a positioning signal receiving array may be arranged on the water dispenser, wherein the positioning signal receiving array includes a plurality of first signal receivers, and each receiver receives a first wireless positioning signal in different directions and angles, so that the position of the charging device can be determined more accurately.
And 102, acquiring the azimuth information of the charging equipment according to the first wireless positioning signal.
Specifically, after each first signal receiver receives the first wireless positioning signal, the signal strength of the first wireless positioning signal received by each first signal receiver is compared first, and the target first signal receiver with the maximum signal strength of the first wireless positioning signal is determined from all the first signal receivers.
It can be understood that, since the strength of the wireless signal is related to the propagation distance, the relative distance between the signal receiver receiving the maximum strength of the first wireless positioning signal and the charging device is closest, that is, the direction of the charging device is the same as the direction of the target first signal receiver, and after the position of the target first signal receiver on the water dispenser is determined, the position of the charging device is determined according to the direction faced by the target first signal receiver.
And 103, controlling the water dispenser to move to the charging equipment for charging according to the direction information of the charging equipment.
Specifically, as a possible implementation manner, after the direction information of the charging device is determined, an adjustment angle of the running direction of the water dispenser is determined according to an included angle formed between the direction of the charging device and the current position of the water dispenser, and then the moving assembly of the water dispenser is controlled to rotate for adjusting the angle, so that the running direction of the water dispenser is the same as the direction of the charging device. For example, when the current driving direction of the water dispenser forms an angle of 30 degrees with the direction of the charging device, the driving wheel of the water dispenser is controlled to rotate by 30 degrees, so that the driving direction of the water dispenser faces the direction of the charging device. And further, controlling the water dispenser to linearly run according to the regulated running direction so as to move the water dispenser to the position of the charging equipment.
Further, when the water dispenser moves to the position of the charging device, the charging interface of the water dispenser is in butt joint with the charging electrode of the charging device so as to charge. In order to realize the accurate butt joint of the charging interface and the charging electrode of the water dispenser and improve the charging efficiency of the water dispenser, the embodiment of the invention also provides a specific charging method of the water dispenser.
Specifically, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a specific charging method for a water dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the method includes:
step 201, in the process that the water dispenser moves to the charging device, detecting a first wireless positioning signal in real time, acquiring the signal intensity of the currently detected first wireless positioning signal, and controlling a second signal receiver on the water dispenser to detect a second wireless positioning signal when the signal intensity is greater than or equal to a preset signal intensity, wherein the second wireless positioning signal is transmitted by a second signal transmitter arranged on the charging device.
Specifically, the signal intensity of the position of the water dispenser close to the charging equipment is preset according to the mapping relation between the attenuation degree and the propagation distance of the wireless signal, and in the process that the water dispenser moves to the charging equipment, if the detected signal intensity of the first wireless positioning signal is larger than or equal to the preset signal intensity, the position of the water dispenser close to the charging equipment is determined, and the butt joint with the charging electrode of the charging equipment is started.
Furthermore, a second signal receiver on the water dispenser is controlled to detect a second wireless positioning signal, wherein the second wireless positioning signal is a wireless positioning signal transmitted by a second signal transmitter arranged at a charging electrode of the charging equipment, the second wireless positioning signal has the characteristics of narrow beam width and short wavelength, so that the receivable range is narrow, the direction of the second wireless positioning signal detected by the second signal receiver is the direction of the second signal transmitter, and therefore the position of the charging electrode of the charging equipment is accurately determined according to the detected second wireless positioning signal, and the butt joint of the water dispenser and the charging equipment is facilitated.
As a possible implementation manner, an infrared signal transmitter may be arranged at a position of a charging electrode of the charging device, a receiving range of a second wireless positioning signal transmitted by the signal transmitter matches with a size of the charging electrode, and when a second signal receiver on the water dispenser receives the second wireless positioning signal, a direction in which the second signal receiver is located is a direction in which the charging electrode is located.
And 202, controlling the water dispenser to rotate in situ when the second wireless positioning signal is not detected.
It can be understood that, since the receiving range of the second wireless positioning signal is narrow, after the water dispenser approaches the position of the charging device, if the second signal receiver is not located in the direction of the charging electrode, the second signal receiver cannot detect the second wireless positioning signal, and therefore, the water dispenser is controlled to rotate in situ to change the direction of the second signal receiver, so that the second signal receiver detects the second wireless positioning signal in different directions.
And step 203, when the second signal receiver detects a second wireless positioning signal, controlling the water dispenser to stop rotating in place, and controlling the water dispenser to linearly travel to the charging equipment along the current direction.
Specifically, when the second signal receiver detects a second wireless positioning signal, it indicates that the second signal receiver is in a preset receiving range, and the direction of the second signal receiver is the direction of the charging electrode of the charging device, so as to control the water dispenser to stop rotating in situ and to linearly travel to the charging device along the current direction, so as to realize accurate butt joint of the charging interface of the water dispenser and the charging electrode.
Therefore, when the water dispenser approaches the charging equipment, the position of the charging electrode of the charging equipment is determined more accurately by detecting the positioning signal with a narrower receiving angle sent by the charging equipment, and the probability of successful butt joint of the water dispenser and the charging equipment is further improved.
It should be noted that, in the process of returning the water dispenser to charge, the driving direction of the water dispenser may change due to the influence of external factors, for example, when an obstacle exists between the water dispenser and the charging device, the water dispenser needs to change the driving direction to bypass the obstacle, so that the driving direction of the water dispenser deviates from the initial direction, and for example, after the position of the charging device is changed, the water dispenser needs to determine the driving direction again. Therefore, in the running process of the water dispenser, the first wireless positioning signal and/or the second wireless positioning signal are/is detected in real time, the running direction of the water dispenser is continuously adjusted according to the wireless positioning signal detected in real time, and the water dispenser returns to a correct route until the water dispenser moves to the charging equipment, so that the interference of external factors is avoided, and the successful charging probability of the water dispenser is improved.
It can be understood that in the process of charging the water dispenser, a user may send a voice wake-up instruction to the water dispenser due to the drinking requirement, and further control the water dispenser to work. In order to execute the voice command of the user as much as possible on the premise that the residual electric quantity can keep normal work so as to improve the satisfaction degree of the user, the water dispenser can judge whether to execute the voice command of the user according to the charging electric quantity in the charging process.
As a possible implementation manner, in the charging process of the water dispenser, whether a voice wake-up instruction is received or not is detected by the voice detection device, and if the voice wake-up instruction is detected, whether the current electric quantity of the water dispenser is greater than a preset third threshold value or not is judged, wherein the third threshold value is a minimum electric quantity threshold value for completing charging, for example, 50% of the total electric quantity. Further, if the current electric quantity of the water dispenser is determined to be larger than a third threshold value, the water dispenser is controlled to enter a working state, and charging is stopped and a working instruction is executed after a user sends the working instruction; and if the current electric quantity is less than a third threshold value, controlling the water dispenser to enter an awakening state, controlling the water dispenser to continue charging, then storing a working instruction sent by a user, sending voice information of 'unable to work in the current state' to the user through a loudspeaker, and further controlling the water dispenser to be switched from the awakening state to the working state and executing the stored working instruction after the electric quantity of the water dispenser is greater than the third threshold value.
In summary, in the charging method for the water dispenser according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the water dispenser needs to be charged, the first wireless positioning signal sent by the charging device is detected, then the direction information of the charging device is obtained according to the first wireless positioning signal, and finally the water dispenser is controlled to move to the charging device for charging according to the direction information of the charging device. Therefore, the method accurately determines the position of the charging equipment according to the wireless positioning signal sent by the charging equipment, further determines the driving direction of the water dispenser returning to the charging, and controls the water dispenser to automatically return to the charging equipment for charging, so that the accurate positioning of the charging equipment realizes the automatic control of the water dispenser returning to the charging equipment for charging, increases the probability of successful butt joint of the water dispenser and the charging equipment, and improves the intelligence and reliability of the water dispenser charging.
