Title:

SELF-MOVING DEVICE AND LOCOMOTION CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/139617

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A self-moving device and a locomotion control method thereof. The self-moving device comprises an outer frame (100), and a base body (200) rotatably connected on the outer frame (100). A control unit and a locomotion unit are provided on the base body (200). A fixing pin (300) is connected on the base body (200). One end of the fixing pin (300) is movably fixed on the base body (200), and the other end is a pin head (320). A pin slot (110) is correspondingly provided on the outer frame (100). When the pin head (320) is engaged and fixed within the pin slot (110), the base body (200) is fixedly connected to and engaged with the outer frame (100). When the pin head (320) is separated from the pin slot (110), the base body (200) is able to rotate with respect to the outer frame (100). A detection mechanism is provided on the base body (200). When the detection mechanism detects that the pin head (320) is engaged and fixed within the pin slot (110), the control unit, according to a detection signal of the detection mechanism, controls the locomotion unit to execute a corresponding movement command. The present device and method thereof accurately and effectively detect a connection state between the base body (200) and the outer frame (100), and via detection and posture adjustment means, ensure that the base body (200) and the outer frame (100) perform locomotion when in an engaged state. The structure is simple and sensitivity is high.
