    摘要: A charging station includes a main body, a central emission module, a supersonic receiver, a controller, and a lateral emission module having a left infrared emitter and a right infrared emitter. The controller drives the left infrared emitter and the right infrared emitter to emit alternatively infrared signals to a first signal area and a second signal area, respectively. When the supersonic receiver receives a supersonic signal from the self-propelled apparatus, the controller drives the central emission module to emit another infrared signal to a third signal area so as to guide the self-propelled apparatus to enter the third signal area. When a distance between the self-propelled apparatus and the charging port is smaller than a predetermined distance, the self-propelled apparatus turns to have a charging-input unit thereof to face the charging port. In addition, a charging system including the charging station and the self-propelled apparatus is also provided.

    摘要: A system of collision-proofing, collision-deferring and wallside-tracking for a self-propelled apparatus includes a main body, a control unit and a detection unit. The control unit is located at the main body. The detection unit is also located at the main body and electrically couples the control unit. The detection unit has a first detection mode and a second detection mode. On the first detection mode, if the detection unit receives a turning reference signal value reflected from an obstacle, the control unit controls the main body to walk away the obstacle. On the second detection mode, the detection unit applies an ultrasonic signal to detect a distance value between the main body and the obstacle, and the control unit controls the main body to walk away the obstacle if the distance value is smaller than a threshold value.

    摘要: A vacuum device includes a device body, a dust-collecting box, a fan and a detection unit. The device body further has a duct outlet and a fan outlet. The dust-collecting box located inside the device body is spatially connected to the duct outlet. The fan located inside the device body at a place beside the dust-collecting box is spatially connected to the fan outlet. The detection unit located close to the fan outlet further includes a sensor and a rotation assembly; in which the sensor further has an infrared-emitting component and an infrared-receiving component, the rotation assembly is able to pass rotationally through a space between the infrared-emitting component and the infrared-receiving component, and the infrared-emitting component is to emit an infrared to the infrared-receiving component for detecting the rotation assembly.

    摘要: A self-propelled apparatus includes a main body and an anti-drop system. The main body includes an aperture located at a bottom portion thereof and communicative with an interior thereof. The anti-drop system located inside the main body respective to the aperture includes an infrared detection module and an angle-limiting unit electrically coupled with the infrared detection module. The infrared detection module detects a distance between the bottom portion and a first detection surface. The infrared detection module includes an infrared emitting unit and an infrared receiving unit. The infrared emitting unit emits an infrared signal to the first detection surface. The infrared signal produces a first boundary signal and a second boundary signal after the infrared signal passes through the angle-limiting unit. The infrared receiving unit receives a reflected signal of the first boundary signal with respect to the first detection surface.
