Detailed Description

In order that the above objects, features and advantages of the invention will be readily understood, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The present invention may be embodied in many other forms than described herein and similarly modified by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention, whereby the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

Commercial garden maintenance teams typically carry a complete set of garden tools out of service. In various works, the mowing work consumes the longest time. Although the lawn sizes are not uniform from home garden to home garden, the average time taken for mowing work is around 20-40 minutes. Thus, per garden, worker a in the team will immediately begin mowing with a push mower or a ride-on mower. During mowing by worker A, workers B in the team can sequentially complete other types of work, such as grass cutting and trimming at the edge of the lawn, and finally blowing air to clean fallen leaves and grass scraps on the lawn. Typically, worker a and worker B may perform all work at about the same time. Thus, the business team has a working time of about 20-40 minutes for a garden maintenance work at one user. Once one garden is finished, the team goes to another garden and repeats the above work process until all work tasks today are completed. Typically, a business garden maintenance team can trim gardens for 10-20 households on a daily basis.

Gardening tools are usually referred to as maintenance equipment for landscapes, and can be further divided into grass cutters, mowers, hedge trimmers, chain saws, blowers, leaf shredders, snowploughs and the like according to different functions. Limited by outdoor garden work, power supply is difficult, most commercial garden tools are powered by gasoline, and only a small number of electrically driven tools are used as auxiliary work equipment. Therefore, conventional commercial work scenarios typically do not use electrically driven tools as the primary tools for performing garden trimming tasks. Even if electrically driven automatic devices are introduced into the gardening tool system to perform main gardening finishing tasks, the automatic devices can only perform tasks according to the conditions on the working surface of the automatic devices, workers who easily perform other working tasks already complete the tasks, and the automatic devices are still working, so that the working efficiency of a commercial gardening maintenance team is influenced.

According to the application, by reasonably designing a set of gardening tool system and a working method, the input of human resources and the cost can be reduced when the gardening tool system is applied to a commercial scene, and the working efficiency of a team can be ensured to a certain extent. The gardening tool system is beneficial to really realizing the effects of reducing personnel investment, reducing cost and ensuring the working efficiency of the gardening tool system in engineering. The garden tool system and the method of operation thereof are described in detail below in connection with various embodiments.

As shown in fig. 1, a gardening tool system 10 according to an embodiment of the present application may include a power gardening tool group 100 and an autonomous working device group 200.

The power garden tool set 100 has at least one power garden tool. For example, if the work to be performed by the power gardening tool set 100 is single, it may be performed by one type of power gardening tool, and at this time, only one power gardening tool may be configured for the user of the gardening tool system 10, and, for example, if the work to be performed by the power gardening tool set 100 is multiple and/or the execution area is large, it may be performed by a plurality of different power gardening tools cooperating with each other, in which case, a plurality of power gardening tools may be configured for the user of the gardening tool system 10, and a plurality of each power gardening tool may be configured. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1, the power gardening tool group 100 includes a blower 110, a grass cutter 120, and the like. Optionally, the power garden tool set 100 may also include a lawnmower 120, an edger/pruner (not shown), a blower 110, and the like.

Each electric gardening tool is provided with a corresponding first working capacity parameter, wherein the first working capacity parameter can be a performance parameter of the tool and is used for representing the working performance of the electric gardening tool. For example, when the electric gardening tool group includes at least one of an edger, a chainsaw, a pruner, a grass trimmer, a blower, etc., the first operational capability parameter of the edger may be a rotational speed, a cutting diameter, a power, etc. of the edger, the first operational capability parameter of the chainsaw may be a chain speed, a saw blade width, a power, etc., the first operational capability parameter of the pruner may be a reciprocating frequency, a power, etc., the first operational capability parameter of the grass trimmer may be a rotational speed, a cutting diameter, a power, etc., and the first operational capability parameter of the blower may be a blowing force, a wind speed, a wind quantity, a power, etc.

The first work capacity parameter is configured to adapt the powered garden tool to passively operate at a corresponding first work rate in the work area. Alternatively, the working areas of the present application may include a first type of working area where the electric gardening tool set 100 works and a second type of working area where the autonomous working device set 200 works. Alternatively, the area of the working area of the present application may be expressed as the sum of the area of the first type of working area and the area of the second type of working area.

The first working rate represents a task execution rate of the electric gardening tool under a standard working condition when the electric gardening tool is passively controlled, for example, the first working rate of the trimmer can be a trimming distance in unit time of the trimmer when a worker works normally under a rated power, the first working rate of the pruner can be a trimming area in unit time of the pruner when the worker works normally under the rated power, and the first working rate of the mower can be a grass mowed lawn area in unit time of the pruner when the worker works normally under the rated power. As is known from investigation, the lawn area of a typical working scene of a commercial garden maintenance team is approximately 500m ², taking the typical working scene as an example, the area of the team to be mowed is approximately 50m ², the first working speed of the mower under the standard working condition is approximately 7.5m ²/min, the mowing time of the mower is approximately 7min, the length to be trimmed is approximately 100 m-160 m, the first working speed of the trimmer under the standard working condition is approximately 50m/min, the trimming time of the trimmer is approximately 2 m-3.5 m in, the area to be blown is approximately 65m ²～210m², and the first working speed of the blower can be 30m ²/min, so that the blowing time of the blower is approximately 2.2 m-7 min. In other less typical working scenarios, it may be further required to cut and irrigate, prune, chain saw, etc., and the corresponding first working rate of the brush cutter, prune machine, chain saw, and the calculating manner of the working time length may refer to the calculating manner of the task of the aforesaid typical working scenario, which is not described herein again.

Alternatively, the standard operating conditions may be expressed as standard operating environment conditions, which may include grass density, grass hardness, temperature, humidity, ground flatness, soil softness, and the like. In other words, standard operating conditions may be used to indicate general operating environment conditions of the autonomous working device.

In some embodiments, the standard operating conditions may be obtained by examining analysis (e.g., sampling analysis, average analysis, etc.) of yard sample information for multiple users. For example, the values of the factors in a standard operating environment situation may differ little or substantially from the average of the yard sample information for multiple users. The number of courtyard samples may be 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, etc.

In other embodiments, the standard operating conditions may also be determined with reference to the general operating test environments of lawnmowers, waterers, snowploughs, and the like, as established by the relevant standards.

On the other hand, the working areas of the respective electric gardening tool groups 100 are not mutually exclusive, that is, the working areas of different kinds of electric gardening tools may be different or may be at least partially overlapped. The area enclosed by the dashed line boxes in fig. 2 shows a first type of working area, wherein the area enclosed by the rectangular dashed line boxes can comprise a grass cutting area and a part of blowing area, so that the grass cutting area and the blowing area can be partially overlapped, and the area enclosed by the oval dashed line boxes in fig. 3 shows a pruning area with green plants, so that the pruning area can be partially overlapped with the grass cutting area and the blowing area or can be separated from the grass cutting area and the pruning area.

The autonomous working device group 200 has at least one autonomous working device, and as shown in fig. 1, the autonomous working device group 200 includes an autonomous working device 210, an autonomous working device 220, and the like. In some embodiments, if the working content to be executed by the autonomous working device set 100 is single, the working may be performed by one type of autonomous working device, where only one autonomous working device may be configured for the user of the gardening tool system 10, and in other embodiments, if the working content to be executed by the autonomous working device set 200 is multiple and the execution area is large, the working may be performed by a plurality of different autonomous working devices, where multiple autonomous working devices may be configured for the user of the gardening tool system 10 and each autonomous working device may be configured for multiple.

The autonomous working device in the embodiment of the application can be an outdoor robot, for example, can be an automatic robot device with an automatic running function, such as an automatic mower, an automatic watering machine, an automatic snowplow, an automatic sweeper, an automatic fallen leaf cleaner and the like.

Each of the autonomous working devices has a second working capacity parameter configured such that each autonomous working device is adapted to operate autonomously at a second working rate in a working area (second class of working areas). The second working rate represents the task execution rate of the autonomous working device when the autonomous working device normally and autonomously works under the standard working condition. For example, when the autonomous working device is a robotic lawnmower, the second operating rate may represent a mowing area per unit time of the robotic lawnmower when mowing at rated power, optionally, the second operating capacity parameter of the robotic lawnmower may be configured to cause the second operating rate of the robotic lawnmower to be comparable to a conventional manually operated mower operating rate, for example, 40m ²/min、50m²/min、60m²/min、70m²/min, and when the autonomous working device is a robotic snowplow, the second operating rate may represent a snow sweeping area per unit time of the robotic snowplow when snowplow is at rated power, optionally, the second operating capacity parameter of the robotic lawnmower may be configured to cause the second operating rate of the robotic lawnmower to be comparable to a conventional manually operated snowplow operating rate, and, for example, when the autonomous working device is an automatic watering machine, the second operating capacity parameter of the robotic watering machine may be configured to cause the second operating rate of the robotic watering machine to be comparable to the conventional manually operated rate.

It will be appreciated that the operating environment conditions of the home courtyard may vary from season to season (dry and rainy), and therefore the first operating capacity parameters of the power garden tool may vary from season to enable the power garden tool to have a suitable first operating rate, and the second operating capacity parameters of the set of autonomous operating devices may also vary from season to enable the autonomous operating device to have a suitable second operating rate.

The garden tool system 10 is configured to work on a predetermined number of work areas. The predetermined number of work areas may be a predetermined number of user home yards, and the predetermined number of work areas may be a predetermined number of sub-work areas divided by a large-area work area, one of the sub-work areas corresponding to each of the work areas. The predetermined number may be an integer greater than or equal to 1. The work areas include a first type of work area (e.g., mowing area, blowing area, trimming area, as described above) operated by the power garden tool set 100 and a second type of work area (e.g., mowing area) operated by the autonomous working device set 200. Optionally, as shown in fig. 2, the first type working area (the area surrounded by the dotted line frame) is at least partially located at the periphery of the second type working area (the area surrounded by the solid line frame, such as the lawn area shown in fig. 2), and may also be partially overlapped with the second type working area, or, as shown in fig. 3, the first type working area may also be partially located inside the second type working area.

Wherein the second average duration of time for the autonomous working device group 200 to complete the work of the predetermined number of working areas satisfies a preset relationship with the first average duration of time for the electric gardening tool group 100to complete the work of the predetermined number of working areas.

Alternatively, the first average time period may be expressed as a ratio of a total time for which the electric gardening tool group 100 completes the work of the predetermined number of work areas to the predetermined number, and the second average time period may be expressed as a ratio of a total time for which the autonomous working device group 200 completes the work of the predetermined number of work areas to the predetermined number. For example, when the user trims the home yard, the predetermined number is 1, which indicates that there are 1 working areas in total, at this time, if the electric gardening tool set 100 takes 13min to complete the work of all the working areas, the autonomous working device set 200 takes 17min to complete the work of all the working areas, the first average time is 13min, the second average time is 17min, or, for example, when the business team trims different user yards in turn, or when the business team trims the scene of a larger area of lawn (at this time, the lawn may be divided into a plurality of sub-working areas, the team can trim in turn according to the numbers of the sub-working areas), the predetermined number of the working areas is 5, at this time, if the electric gardening tool set 100 takes 210min to complete the work of all the working areas, the autonomous working device set 200 takes 200min to complete the work of all the working areas, the first average time is 42min, and the second average time is (200/5) min=40 min.

Optionally, the second average duration and the first average duration satisfy a preset relationship, and the preset relationship can represent that the efficiency of the electric gardening tool set for completing the work is basically matched with the efficiency of the autonomous working device set for completing the work, so that the electric gardening tool set 100 and the autonomous working device set 200 can basically complete the work of respective working areas at the same time under standard working conditions, thereby realizing the effects of saving manpower and saving manual waiting time (reducing time waste), and finally being beneficial to realizing the reduction of cost expenditure of a business team. Alternatively, the preset relationship may be a difference relationship, a ratio relationship, a logarithmic relationship, an exponential relationship, or the like, which is not limited in the present application.

Optionally, the time for completing the work of the electric gardening tool group can also comprise the time for pushing the mower to repair the missed cut region of the autonomous working device, and optionally, the time for completing the work of the autonomous working device group can also comprise the time for autonomously planning a path to repair the missed cut region of the autonomous working device group, and can also comprise the time for driving the autonomous working device by a worker to repair the missed cut region.

In the gardening tool system 10, the electric gardening tools have the first working capacity parameter, so that each electric gardening tool can work at the corresponding first working speed, and the autonomous working device has the second working capacity parameter, so that each main working device can work at the second working speed, and when the gardening tool system 10 is used for working on a preset number of working areas, as shown in fig. 2 for example, one worker can independently work in the lawn while using the grass trimmer 120 to trim grass around the lawn, thus being beneficial to reducing manpower resource investment and reducing cost, and simultaneously, the average time (namely the first average time length) for controlling the electric gardening tool set 100 to finish the working of the preset number of working areas and the average time (namely the second average time length) for controlling the autonomous working device set 200 to finish the working of the preset number of working areas can be met by the preset relation, so that the electric gardening tool set 100 and the autonomous working device set 200 can basically finish the working of a certain working area at the same time under the standard working condition, thereby ensuring the working efficiency of the gardening tool system 10.

In some embodiments, the preset relationship includes a difference relationship including that the second average time period T2 satisfies 0.ltoreq.T2-T1.ltoreq.25 min with the first average time period T1. For example, the absolute value of the difference between T2 and T1 may be 0, 5min, 10min, 15min, 20min, 25min. By possibly controlling the absolute value of the difference between T2 and T1 to satisfy the above relationship, it is advantageous to ensure that the electric gardening tool set 100 and the autonomous working device set 200 can complete the work of a working area at substantially the same time under the standard working condition, and ensure the working efficiency of the gardening tool system 10.

In some embodiments, as the area of the working area increases, the difference between T2 and T1 also increases. It is understood through investigation that the area of the courtyard of the user's home is 400m ²～1200m², and for the working area of this area range, the time period for the electric gardening tool set 100 and the autonomous working device set 200 to complete the work basically satisfies the aforementioned difference relation. In other words, the foregoing difference relationships may be adapted to most consumer home yards.

In some embodiments, the predetermined relationship comprises a ratio relationship comprising the second average time period T2 satisfying the first average time period T1For example, the ratio of T2 to T1 may be any of 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8. When the ratio is 0.8-1.2, it means that the electric gardening tool set 100 and the autonomous working device set 200 can complete the work of a certain working area in approximately the same time under the standard working condition, when the ratio is 0.7-0.8, it means that the area of the first type working area is larger or the working condition is more complex, resulting in that the T1 is longer, or the area of the second type working area is smaller or flatter, resulting in that the T2 is shorter, and when the ratio is 1.2-1.8, it means that two workers in the team are simultaneously performing mowing and/or trimming, resulting in that the T1 is shorter, or the area of the second type working area is larger or the working condition is more complex, resulting in that the T2 is longer. When the ratio of the second average time period to the first average time period exceeds 1.8, it is easy for the electric gardening tool set 100 to complete the work and the autonomous working device set 200 to have a longer period of time from the completion of the work, which is not beneficial to ensuring the working efficiency of the gardening tool system 10, resulting in time waste for personnel.

In some embodiments, the preset range is 0.7-1, so that it can be considered that under the standard working condition, the autonomous working device set 200 can complete the work of a certain working area earlier than the electric gardening tool set 100, or can complete the work of a certain working area substantially simultaneously with the electric gardening tool set 100. Through the above arrangement, it is beneficial to ensure that the work of the autonomous working device group 200 does not affect the work progress of the whole working area, and when the user of the electric gardening tool finds that the autonomous working device group 200 may complete the work before himself, the moving speed can be automatically increased, so that the work rate of the passively controlled electric gardening tool is increased, the work rate of the autonomous working device is matched as much as possible, and the work efficiency of the gardening tool system 10 is ensured.

In some embodiments, the electric gardening tool set 100 is composed of a grass cutter 120 and a blower 110, and the preset range is 0.9-1.5. The grass cutter 120 and the blower 110 are commonly used combinations in gardening finishing scenes, and the ratio of the second average time length to the first average time length is controlled to meet the preset relation, so that the work of the corresponding working area can be finished by the independent working device group and the grass cutter and the blower at the same time, and in addition, when other electric gardening tools are required to be introduced (even if the first average time length is increased), a larger margin can exist, so that the ratio of the second average time length to the first average time length can still be kept near 1, and the work of the corresponding working area can still be finished by the independent working device group and the electric gardening tools at the same time.

Taking the working scenario shown in fig. 2 as an example, the working area to be trimmed includes a lawn area and a mowing area (an area within a dashed frame) located at the edge of the lawn and partially overlapping the lawn, and the blowing area is partially located in the lawn area and partially located in the mowing area. In general, the first type of working area needs to perform work of mowing and blowing, the corresponding electric gardening tool may only include a mowing machine and a blower, the second type of working area needs to perform work of mowing, and the corresponding autonomous working device may include one or more automatic mowers. Optionally, according to the courtyard of the user of the general home in Europe and America, the lawn area is usually about 500m ², the mowing area is usually about 50m ², under the standard working condition, the time for the mowing machine to complete the mowing area is about 7 min-8 min based on the working speed of each electric gardening tool, the time for the blower to complete the blowing area is about 3 min-4 min, and the time for the automatic mower to complete the mowing operation is about 11 min-17 min based on the working speed of the automatic mower, so that the range of the first average duration corresponding to the combination of the mowing machine 120 and the blower 110 is about 10 min-12 min, and the ratio of the second average duration to the first average duration can be deduced to be in the range of 0.9-1.5. In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the first working area further includes an area (shown by an oval dashed box) to be pruned by the pruner, and the first average duration is necessarily increased at this time, but on the basis of the original preset range (0.9-1.5), a certain margin is still remained so that the ratio of the second average duration to the first average duration is kept near 1, so as to ensure that the self-energy mower unit and the electric gardening tool unit can still complete the work of the corresponding working area in substantially the same time.

In some embodiments, the power gardening tool group 100 may include a plurality of power gardening tools, and the autonomous working device group 200 may include one or more autonomous working devices. For example, when the working area includes a courtyard, it is generally necessary to perform grooving, pruning and mowing while mowing, so that the electric gardening tool set 100 needs to include at least a plurality of electric gardening tools, and since the courtyard of the user is generally not more than 500m ², the autonomous working device set 200 generally includes one autonomous working device, and when the area of the court in court is greater than a preset value, for example, greater than 800m ², one autonomous working device is difficult to cover the entire working area, so that the autonomous working device set 200 may be added with one (or more) autonomous working devices 220, and when the working area includes a larger area such as a football field, a golf field, a baseball field, a olive field, etc., a plurality of electric gardening tools and a plurality of autonomous working devices are required to be respectively configured for the electric gardening tool set 100 and the autonomous working device set 200. The specific number may be configured according to the area of the working area, which is not limited by the present application.

In some embodiments, the first working capacity parameter may be configured such that the electric gardening tool set 100 is operated in a working area of 500m ² under a standard working condition for 8 min-25 min, and the second working capacity parameter may be configured such that the autonomous working device set 200 is operated in a working area of 500m ² under a standard working condition for 12 min-22 min. Optionally, in the typical working scenario, the first average duration T1 may be any one of 8min, 10min, 15min, 18min, 20min, and 25min, and optionally, the second average duration T2 may be any one of 12min, 15min, 18min, 20min, and 22min. In this manner, the working time for the electric gardening tool set 100 and the autonomous working device set 200 to complete the working tasks of the typical working scene under the standard working conditions is quantitatively provided, thereby being more beneficial to quantitatively ensuring the working efficiency of the gardening tool system 10.

In some embodiments, the powered garden tool set comprises an edger, a lawnmower, a push mower, a blower, and the autonomous working device comprises one or more autonomously operable mowers. The combination is a common combination in the American area.

In some embodiments, the powered garden tool set comprises a lawnmower, a push mower, a blower, a pruner, and the autonomous working device comprises one or more autonomously operable mowers. The combination is a common combination in European regions.

In some embodiments, the first operation capability parameter includes an average output power of each power tool under a standard operating condition, and the second operation capability parameter includes an average output power of each main operating device under the standard operating condition. Alternatively, the average output power represents an average power during which the electric gardening tool and the autonomous working device complete the respective working areas. Alternatively, the average output power may be obtained by comparing the total power consumption to the total operating time. Alternatively, the average output power of different electric gardening tools may be different, and the average output power of different autonomous working devices may be different. Optionally, the range of the average output power of the hand-pushed mower comprises 1 KW-1.2 KW, the range of the average output power of the mower comprises 0.8 KW-1.2 KW, the range of the average output power of the pruning machine comprises 0.4 KW-0.6 KW, the range of the average output power of the blower comprises 1 KW-1.2 KW, the range of the average output power of the chain saw comprises 1.2 KW-1.5 KW, and the range of the average output power of the mower comprises 1.2 KW-1.5 KW.

It will be appreciated that when a work task is performed, the output power of the electric gardening tool and the autonomous working device at a moment may be greater than the average working power, for example, when the grass trimmer strikes a large load of dense grass, or when the autonomous working device climbs a slope, the output power at a moment may be greater, but this does not affect the calculation of the average output power, in other words, the calculation of the average output power includes the instantaneous changes.

In some embodiments, the first operational capability parameter of the hand propelled mower is configured such that a mowing rate of the hand propelled mower under standard conditions is less than or equal to 35m ²/min, the first operational capability parameter of the mower is configured such that a cutting rate of the mower under standard conditions is less than or equal to 10m ²/min, the first operational capability parameter of the pruner is configured such that a trimming rate of the pruner under standard conditions is less than or equal to 15m ²/min, the first operational capability parameter of the blower is configured such that a range of a blowing rate of the blower under standard conditions includes 15m ²/min～45m²/min, the first operational capability parameter of the trimmer is configured such that a range of a trimming rate of the trimmer under standard conditions includes 40m/min to 60m/min, and the second operational capability parameter of the pruner is configured such that a rate of the mower under standard conditions is less than or equal to 90m ²/min. The setting of the working capacity parameter is beneficial to realizing a better synergistic effect of the electric gardening tool set 100 and the autonomous working device set 200 when the garden vegetation is maintained, so that the working efficiency of the gardening tool system 10 is ensured.

In some embodiments, at least one autonomous working device is provided with a first receptacle 215 for placing at least one electric gardening tool, and/or at least one autonomous working device is provided with a second receptacle 216 for a person to ride on. As shown in fig. 6, the autonomous working apparatus 210 is provided with a first receiving portion 215 on which a plurality of electric gardening tools can be suspended. In the example shown in fig. 6, the first receiving portion 215 is provided with 4 hanging members 2151, which means that 4 electric gardening tools can be carried, and of course, 5 or 6 hanging members can be provided to carry more electric gardening tools. In addition, a second receiving portion 216 (for example, a seat or a standing position where a person stands) may be provided on the autonomous working device 210, so that the autonomous working device 210 can be driven by a person and brought into the working area together with the electric gardening tool set.

In some embodiments, the gardening tool system includes an energy component configured to be coupleable with the powered gardening tool group 100 and the autonomous working device group 200 to provide at least one day of electricity usage to the powered gardening tool group 100 and the autonomous working device group 200. Therefore, the power supply of a business garden maintenance team for one day can be guaranteed, and the working efficiency of the team is further guaranteed. Alternatively, the energy source assembly may include at least one of a backpack battery, an energy source cabinet, and a battery pack.

In some embodiments, the second operational capability parameter may include at least one of a path coverage, a cut coverage, a movement rate, and an actual cut width of the robotic lawnmower, wherein the path coverage represents a ratio of an area of the autonomous working device that has cut the lawn to a total area of the lawn, the actual cut width represents an actual width of the robotic lawnmower that cuts the lawn during movement, and the cut coverage represents a ratio of an actual cut area of a cutting assembly of the robotic lawnmower during movement to a theoretical cut area of the cutting assembly. For example, when the mower has one cutter and the diameter of the cutter is 18cm, the actual cutting width is 18cm, and when the mower has two cutters and the diameter of each cutter is 18cm, the cutting width of the mower can be 18 x 2=36 cm theoretically, however, in order to avoid the occurrence of grass leakage, adjacent cutters can be arranged in a staggered manner, so that when the automatic mower performs cutting, an overlapping area of 1cm is formed between cutting areas corresponding to the adjacent cutters, thereby improving the grass leakage, and at the moment, the actual cutting width of the mower is 36-1=35 cm. On the other hand, because the automatic mower has positioning errors in the working process, missed cutting usually occurs, and the coverage performance of the automatic mower is characterized by adopting the ratio of the actual cutting area of the cutting assembly to the theoretical cutting area of the cutting assembly in the moving process of the automatic mower as the cutting coverage rate. On the other hand, partial cutting areas can be overlapped through path planning, so that missed cutting caused by positioning errors is compensated, and the cutting coverage rate of the automatic mower is improved. When the cutting coverage of the robotic lawnmower is substantially equivalent to or greater than the coverage of the service team's manual mowing, the garden tool system 10 of the present application may be considered to be able to ensure work efficiency while saving labor.

Alternatively, the cut coverage is configured to satisfy the following relationship η= (w/w _i) ·c, where η represents the cut coverage, w represents the lawn width of the lawn portion of the robotic lawnmower cut only once during operation, w _i represents the actual cut width of the robotic lawnmower cutterhead, which may be twice the cutterhead width if two cutterheads are not set to overlap, and may be twice the cutterhead width minus the overlap width when two cutterhead portions are set to overlap, C represents a preset coefficient, and since the turning portion of the path also needs to overlap by the path planning, the ratio needs to be multiplied by a coefficient C, alternatively C is a positive real number of less than 1, such as 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, etc. Among these factors affecting the cut coverage include positioning accuracy and path planning. For example, when the deviation of positioning accuracy is ±3cm, it is necessary to overlap the cutting area of the robotic mower by at least 6cm through path planning to improve the miscut phenomenon caused by the positioning deviation, in other words, it is necessary to subtract 6cm from the actual cutting width of the cutterhead to obtain a more accurate w value.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4 for an example of a robotic lawnmower 210, the robotic lawnmower 210 includes a housing 211, a movement assembly 213 disposed on the housing 211 and configured to drive the robotic lawnmower 210 to move, a cutting assembly 212 disposed on the housing 211 and configured to perform a cutting task, a positioning assembly 214 disposed on the housing 211 and configured to obtain positional information of the robotic lawnmower 210, and a control assembly coupled to the cutting assembly 212, the movement assembly 213, and the positioning assembly 214 and configured to control movement of the robotic lawnmower 210 and/or mowing.

Optionally, the moving component 213 is configured to drive the robotic lawnmower 210 to move over a lawn area. The movement assembly 213 generally includes a wheel set mounted on the robotic mower 210 and a motor that drives the wheel set to move and steer. The wheel set comprises a driving wheel connected with a motor and an auxiliary wheel mainly playing an auxiliary supporting role. The auxiliary wheel can also be a driving wheel or a driven wheel, and the auxiliary wheel can also be a universal wheel. The number of driving wheels may be 2, and they are respectively located at both sides of the housing 211. The number of motors may be 2, each connected to two drive wheels. The number of auxiliary wheels may be one or two. When the number of auxiliary wheels is 2, the 2 auxiliary wheels may be located at both sides of the front of the robot lawnmower. The auxiliary wheel may not be coupled to a drive motor, but may be driven in a rolling motion when the support robotic mower 210 is moved. With the above arrangement, the robotic lawnmower 210 is flexibly movable and steerable within the work area under the control of the control assembly.

Alternatively, the cutting assembly 212 may be provided on the chassis of the robotic mower 210, with a position between the drive wheel and the auxiliary wheel, the cutterhead between the ground and the chassis, and the cutterhead may be provided with multiple layers of blades to enhance the grass chopping effect.

Alternatively, the positioning component 214 may be a GPS (Global positioning System) component, a BDS (Beidou satellite navigation System) component. Optionally, the positioning assembly 214 improves the positioning accuracy of the robotic mower 210 via RTK (real time differential positioning) techniques.

The control assembly may be used to control the robotic lawnmower 210 to move automatically, work, recharge, etc., and is a core component of the robotic lawnmower. The functions performed by the control component may include controlling the task performing component to start or stop working, generating a movement path and controlling the movement component 213 to move according to the path, determining the power of the energy component and timely directing the robotic mower 210 to return to a docking station and automatically docking to charge, controlling the mower to return to a working area when the robotic mower 210 is detected to be in a border position or non-working area, etc.

Wherein the control assembly is configured to control the robotic lawnmower 210 to move along the first path such that the path coverage is greater than or equal to 50%. The first path can be reasonably planned by the control component according to the positioning accuracy of the positioning component 214, so that when the automatic mower 210 moves along the planned first path, the coverage rate of the path can be greater than or equal to 50%, which is good for being equivalent to the coverage rate of mowing by the original worker controlling the mower, and the working efficiency of the gardening tool system 10 is ensured. The movement assembly 213 is configured to drive the robotic lawnmower 210 to move at a first power such that the rate of movement of the robotic lawnmower 210 is less than or equal to 4m/s. Alternatively, the highest driving speed of the main flow mower in the commercial gardening tools can reach 3 m/s-4 m/s, so that the automatic mower working instead of the main flow mower is required to obtain the efficiency equivalent to that of the main flow mower, and the moving speed cannot be too low, for example, can be selected to be 1 m/s-3 m/s.

Optionally, the control assembly is further configured to control the robotic lawnmower 210 to move along the second path such that the path coverage is greater than or equal to 60%. The second path may be a re-planned optimized path such that the path coverage may be greater than or equal to 60% as the robotic lawnmower 210 moves along the re-planned second path, thereby further ensuring the operational efficiency of the garden tool system 10.

Optionally, the moving component 213 is further configured to drive the robotic mower 210 to move with the second power, such that the moving speed of the robotic mower 210 ranges from 1m/s to 2.5m/s. The brake distance is usually required to correspond to the driving speed by 0.11 m/km/h after the STOP button is pressed, and the maximum brake distance cannot exceed 1m. Thus, taking a 50kg robotic mower as an example, the simulation measures that the braking distance of complete locking at a speed of 2m/s is 0.7m, and the braking distance of complete locking at a speed of 2.5m/s is already more than 1m, so that the maximum value of the moving speed of the robotic mower 210 can be 2.5m/s to meet the braking distance, so as to avoid the robotic mower 210 from rushing out of the boundary during operation, and ensure the safety of the robotic mower 210.

In some embodiments, cutting assembly 212 is configured such that the actual cutting width of robotic lawnmower ranges from not less than 500mm to ensure the operating rate of robotic lawnmower 210. Wherein, the working speed of the robotic mower 210 is positively correlated with the actual cutting width and the moving speed in the second working capacity parameter. Thus, alternatively, the operating rate X of the robotic lawnmower 210 satisfies the relationship X=ηWV, where W represents the actual cutting width of the robotic lawnmower 210 and V represents the rate of movement of the robotic lawnmower 210. Therefore, when the cutting coverage η of the robotic mower 210 is 50%, the moving speed V is 2.5m/s, and the working speed X is 1000m ²/30 min, the actual cutting width W of the robotic mower 210 may be measured to be about 450mm, and in consideration of positioning errors, the planned path portion overlap to prevent missed cuts, etc., the actual cutting width is preferably set to be not less than 500 mm. Thus, it is understood that the operation rate of the robot lawnmower 210 can be ensured to some extent by controlling the actual cutting width of the robot lawnmower 210 to be not less than 500mm in a typical operating environment.

In some embodiments, by conducting an investigation of garden trimming business in the European and American areas, as shown in FIG. 2, the front and rear yard access doors for European and American user yards are typically 36-42 inches. Thus, to facilitate passage of robotic lawnmower 210 through the access door, the actual cutting width of robotic lawnmower 210 may be set to less than 1000mm (corresponding to a 42 inch access door). In some embodiments, to allow for both the rate of operation and to ensure that robotic mower 210 can pass through the access door, the size of the access door may be selected to be 36 inches (corresponding to approximately 800 mm), so that the actual cutting width of robotic mower 210 may be set to 560 mm to 800mm.

The robotic mower assembly of the at least one robotic mower may have a work rate of less than or equal to 90m ²/min when traveling in a straight line. Optionally, considering the scenes of meeting boundaries, meeting obstacles, meeting islands, etc. where steering needs to be performed, the second capability parameter of the robotic lawnmower set may be adjusted so that the operating rate of the robotic lawnmower is in the range of 25m ²/min～60m²/min. In this manner, the operating rate of the power garden tool set 100 may be adapted, as well as the operating efficiency of the garden tool system 10 may be ensured.

The application also provides a gardening tool system, which comprises an electric gardening tool set, an autonomous working device set and a control device, wherein the electric gardening tool set is provided with at least one electric gardening tool, each electric gardening tool is provided with a corresponding first working capacity parameter, the first working capacity parameter is configured to enable the electric gardening tool to work in a passive control mode at a corresponding first working speed in a working area;

The gardening tool system is configured to switch from an operating state to a non-operating state after the respective operations of the autonomous operating device group and the electric gardening tool group are finished, and the autonomous operating device group is configured to switch to the non-operating state substantially synchronously with the electric gardening tool group when the electric gardening tool group operates in an operating area.

In some embodiments, the autonomous working device group is configured to be switched to a non-working state when the electric gardening tool group is switched to the non-working state, in other words, the autonomous working device group can be switched to the non-working state earlier than the electric gardening tool group is switched to finish working, so that time waste is not caused, or the autonomous working device group is switched to the non-working state when the electric gardening tool group is switched to the non-working state, in other words, the autonomous working device group can be switched to finish working later than the electric gardening tool group, so that working efficiency is not obviously slowed, and meanwhile, a certain time margin can be reserved for workers to prepare for working of a next place, for example, time for tidying tools and/or charging tools can be reserved for the workers, or the autonomous working device group can be switched to the non-working state synchronously when the electric gardening tool group is switched to the non-working state, in other words, the autonomous working device group can be simultaneously finished working with the electric gardening tool group, and further can be synchronously working and transition with the electric gardening tool group to better guarantee working efficiency of the gardening tool system.

In some embodiments, the time period T2 'for the autonomous working device group to complete the working area work and the time period T1' for the electric gardening tool group to complete the working area work meet a difference relation, wherein the difference relation is that theta is less than or equal to |T2'-T1' | is less than or equal to 25min, or the time period T2 'for the autonomous working device group to complete the working area work and the time period T1' for the electric gardening tool group to complete the working area work meet a ratio relation, and the ratio relation is that

The autonomous working device comprises at least one of a mower, a watering machine, a snowplow, a sweeper and a fallen leaf cleaning machine which can work autonomously.

Optionally, under standard working conditions, the autonomous working device group formed by the autonomous working devices can have a working rate of 25m ²/min～60m²/min so as to adapt to the working rate of a conventional electric gardening tool group, thereby ensuring the working efficiency of a gardening tool system.

The present application also provides an autonomous working device group having a plurality of autonomous working devices, wherein the autonomous working devices are applied to a gardening tool system as described hereinbefore.

When the autonomous working device group works on a preset number of working areas, the average time for completing the work of the autonomous working device group can meet the preset relationship (such as the difference relationship and the ratio relationship) with the average time for completing the work of the electric gardening tool group in the gardening tool system, so that the autonomous working device group and the passively controlled electric gardening tool group can complete the work of a certain working area basically at the same time, thereby being beneficial to reducing the input of manpower resources, reducing the cost and ensuring the working efficiency of the gardening tool system.

Alternatively, the plurality of autonomous working devices may perform different working tasks, respectively. For example, one of the autonomous working devices may be a robotic lawnmower so as to be operable to perform a mowing task, another one of the autonomous working devices may be an automated snowplow so as to be operable to perform a snowplow task, and another one of the autonomous working devices may be an automated snowplow so as to be operable to perform a sweeping task.

Optionally, under standard working conditions, the autonomous working device set may have a working rate of 25m ²/min～60m²/min, so as to adapt to the working rate of a conventional electric gardening tool set, thereby ensuring the working efficiency of the gardening tool system.
