 Mode for Invention
In order to make the purposes, characteristics, and advantages of the present application more apparently, embodiments of the present application will now be described in more detail with reference to the drawing figures.
Referring from FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, a mobile power 100 for outdoor power supply is provided in an embodiment of the present application.  The mobile power 100 includes a power housing 101, a battery pack 102, a driving device 110, a controller 103, and a tracking device 120.  The battery pack 102 is disposed inside the power housing 101.  The power housing 101 is provided with at least one socket 104 electrically connected with the battery pack 102.  The battery pack 102 can supply electric power to an electric tool 200 during outdoor work through the socket 104.  The driving device 110 includes wheels 111 and driving motors 112 for driving the wheels 111.  The controller 103 is connected with the driving motors 112.  The tracking device 120 is connected with the controller 103.  The tracking device 120 is used to track the user of the mobile power 100 (i.e., the worker), the controller 103 controls the driving motors 112 to operate according to the tracking result of the tracking device 120, and accordingly the driving motors 112 drive the wheels 111 to rotate, so that the power housing 101 is driven to automatically follow the user to keep the distance between the power housing 101 and the user in a preset range.  The preset range is, for example, 2~6 meters.  By keeping the power housing 101 at a certain distance from the user, the working space is not occupied by the power housing 101, which is conducive to improving the convenience during outdoor work.
In the embodiment, the tracking device 120 can detect the distance between the power housing 101 and the user.  When the tracking device 120 detects that the distance between the power housing 101 and the user is within the range of 2~6 meters, the controller 103 controls the driving device 110 to stop, and accordingly the power housing 101 stands still.  Hence, even if the user moves in a small range, as long as the distance between the power housing 101 and the user is still within the range of 2~6 meters, the power housing 101 may stand still without following the movement of the user, in order to minimize the movement of the power housing 101 and reduce the power consumption of the mobile power 100.  When the tracking device 120 detects that the distance between the power housing 101 and the user is beyond the range of 2~6 meters, the controller 103 immediately controls the driving device 110 to operate in order to drive the power housing 101 to follow the user, until the distance between the power housing 101 and the user reaches the range of 2~6 meters.  Thus, by automatically tracking the user, the distance between the power housing 101 and the user is always within the preset range of 2~6 meters.
In the embodiment, under the control of the tracking device 120 and the controller 103, the power housing 101 which carries the battery pack 102 can follow the user automatically.  That is, where the user goes, where the power housing 101 follows.  Therefore, plug-in type high power electric tool 200 can be used, and no battery is required to install in the electric tool 200, so that the weight of the electric tool 200 is greatly reduced.  The quantity of the battery pack 102 in the power housing 101 can be selected according to the need of power and consumption of electricity.  Since the battery pack 102 does not need manual movement, the labor intensity of the worker is greatly reduced, to thereby solve the problem that the battery pack 102 is too heavy and inconvenient to carry.  Since the mobile power 100 can move on its own, it can be used conveniently for power supply to various electric tools 200 during outdoor work.
Specifically, the driving device 110 is provided at the bottom of the power housing 101.  The driving device 110 may include four wheels 111, and the four wheels 111 may include driving wheels and driven wheels, wherein two wheels 111 may be driving wheels and the other two wheels 111 may be driven wheels.  Each driving wheel is driven correspondingly by a driving motor 112.  Each driving motor 112 is powered by the battery pack 102 in the power housing 101.  Furthermore, the wheels 111 are detachably mounted to the power housing 101, which is conducive to changing the type of the wheels 111, so that the mobile power 100 can adapt to different roads, to improve the adaptability to working environments.  In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the wheels 111 may be inflatable wheels or solid wheels, to adapt for relatively flat roads.  In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the wheels 111 may be crawler wheels, to adapt for roads having potholes or slopes.
In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the tracking device 120 includes a wireless transmitter 121 and a wireless receiver 122, one of the wireless transmitter 121 and the wireless receiver 122 is carried by the user, and the other one of the wireless transmitter 121 and the wireless receiver 122 is carried by the power housing 101.  For example, the wireless transmitter 121 is carried by the user, and the wireless receiver 122 is carried by the power housing 101, but it is not limited thereto.  Furthermore, the wireless transmitter 121 may be integrated in a smart phone or a smart wearable device of the user, wherein the smart wearable device may be a smart watch, a smart hand ring, etc.  Of course, the wireless transmitter 121 may also be provided independently.
The wireless receiver 122 receives signals sent from the wireless transmitter 121, and the tracking device 120 detects a distance between the power housing 101 and the user based on the signal intensity received by the wireless receiver 122, to realize tracking the user automatically.  In order to track the user, the tracking device 120 may use the theory of locating based on received signal strength indicator (RSSI).  In the theory of RSSI locating, the intensity of signals emitted by the emitting node (i.e., the wireless transmitter 121) is known, the receiving node (i.e., the wireless receiver 122) calculates the attenuation of the signals in the process of transmission based on the intensity of the received signals, and the distance between the two nodes is calculated out according to the relationship between the signal attenuation and the transmission distance.
Specifically, the tracking device 120 may use at least one of the following tracking and locating technologies, including WiFi, bluetooth, ultrared, ultrasonic, GPS, RFID, and ZigBee.  Thus, the wireless transmitter 121 and the wireless receiver 122 may be WiFi module, bluetooth module, infrared module, ultrasonic module, GPS module, RFID module, or ZigBee module.
In a specific example, as shown in FIG. 8, the wireless transmitter 121 is an infrared wireless transmitter, and the wireless receiver 122 is an infrared wireless receiver.  In use, the infrared wireless transmitter 121 is carried by the user, and the infrared wireless receiver 122 is carried by the power housing 101.  The infrared wireless transmitter 121 sends infrared signals automatically to the power housing 101 for locating.  The infrared wireless receiver 122 in the power housing 101 receives the infrared signals sent by the infrared wireless transmitter 121 from the user, and the location of the user is obtained in real time based on RSSI.  Thereafter, the controller 103 regulates the moving speed and direction of the power housing 101 and controls the power housing 101 to automatically follow the user.
In another specific example, as shown in FIG. 9, the wireless transmitter 121 is an ultrasonic wireless transmitter, and the wireless receiver 122 is an ultrasonic wireless receiver.  In use, the ultrasonic wireless transmitter 121 is carried by the user, and the ultrasonic wireless receiver 122 is carried by the power housing 101.  The ultrasonic wireless transmitter 121 sends ultrasonic signals automatically to the power housing 101 for locating.  The ultrasonic wireless receiver 122 in the power housing 101 receives the ultrasonic signals sent by the ultrasonic wireless transmitter 121 from the user, and the location of the user is obtained in real time based on RSSI.  Thereafter, the controller 103 regulates the moving speed and direction of the power housing 101 and controls the power housing 101 to automatically follow the user.
In another specific example, as shown in FIG. 10, the wireless transmitter 121 is a RFID (radio frequency identification) tag, and the wireless receiver 122 is a RFID antenna.  In use, the RFID tag 121 is carried by the user, and the RFID antenna 122 is carried by the power housing 101.  The RFID tag 121 sends signals automatically to the power housing 101 for locating.  The RFID antenna 122 in the power housing 101 receives the signals sent by the RFID tag 121 from the user, and the location of the user is obtained in real time based on RSSI.  Thereafter, the controller 103 regulates the moving speed and direction of the power housing 101 and controls the power housing 101 to automatically follow the user.
