1. A method for docking a self-moving device to a charging station, the charging station being connected to a boundary line, the method comprising the following steps:
controlling the self-moving device to move from a current position relative to a docking boundary using a radio detection device, the radio detection device including a positioning base station and a positioning tag, the positioning base station set within a predetermined distance of the charging station, and the positioning tag set on the self-moving device, and, according to the distance between the positioning tag and the positioning base station, controlling the self-moving device to move from the current position relative to the docking boundary, the docking boundary being a docking circle with the positioning base station at a center of the docking circle, a radius of the docking circle being Ddst, and the distance between at least part of the boundary line and the positioning base station being not less than Ddst, the docking boundary and the boundary line configured so that they intersect one another;
judging whether the self-moving device senses a boundary line signal from the boundary line during the step of controlling the self-moving device to move;
if the self-moving device senses the boundary line signal before or when reaching the docking boundary, controlling the self-moving device to move to the charging station based on the boundary line signal until the self-moving device successfully docks with the charging station; and
if the self-moving device does not sense the boundary line signal when reaching the docking boundary, controlling the self-moving device to move from the docking boundary to the boundary line by moving around and along the docking boundary until the self-moving device senses the boundary line signal.
