Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/010650
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An automatic operating system comprises a self-moving gardening apparatus, a docking station (10) and a guide line. The guide line guides the self-moving gardening apparatus (10) towards the docking station (10). The self-moving gardening apparatus comprises: a housing (3); a movement module (5) installed at the housing (3) and driving the self-moving gardening apparatus to move within an operating region; a guide line detecting module (620), comprising at least one guide line detecting sensor, for detecting a positional relation between the self-moving gardening apparatus and the guide line; and a control module, controlling the movement module (5) to drive and move the self-moving gardening apparatus. In an operating mode, the control module controls the self-moving gardening apparatus to move towards the docking station (10). During the process in which the self-moving gardening apparatus moves along the guide line towards the docking station (10), the control module controls the self-moving gardening apparatus so to change a distance between the self-moving gardening apparatus and the guide line, further controls the self-moving gardening apparatus to move in parallel to the guide line by at least one predetermined distance, and controls the self-moving gardening apparatus to repeat the above steps. A return control method for a self-moving gardening apparatus is further disclosed. The return control method comprises: controlling the self-moving gardening apparatus to move along the guide line towards the docking station (10). The step of controlling the self-moving gardening apparatus to move along the guide line towards the docking station (10) comprises: controlling the self-moving gardening apparatus to change a distance between the self-moving gardening apparatus and the guide line; controlling the self-moving gardening apparatus to move in parallel to the guide line by at least one predetermined distance; and controlling the self-moving gardening apparatus to repeat the above steps.
