Bootstrap technique to the floor-treating device in the Ground Processing System of first embodiment of the invention describes with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 12 shows the flow chart of the bootstrap technique of the floor-treating device 10 in the Ground Processing System of first embodiment of the invention.
In the present invention, under the duty, the signal transmitter unit 208 of cradle 20 is launched infrared target radiation (step S100).104 pairs of target emanations of signal receiving unit on the floor-treating device 10 are responded to, and the control module of floor-treating device 10 judges whether signal receiving unit 104 receives this target emanation (step S101).According to judged result, if signal receiving unit 104 can receive this target emanation, be that floor-treating device 10 is in this target emanation, then the control module of floor-treating device 10 sends designated command floor-treating device 10 begin processing operation (step S102) in the scheduled time in a sub regions, the zone that the target emanation of in the following description, signal transmitter unit 208 being launched limits is as a sub regions of floor-treating device 10 work.According to judged result, if signal receiving unit 104 does not receive this target emanation, then signal receiving unit 104 will represent that induction sends to the control module of floor-treating device 10 less than the signal of this target emanation, control module sends designated command floor-treating device 10 and moves and seek this target emanation (step S103), begins the processing operation in the scheduled time after signal receiving unit 104 is sensed target emanation again.
In step S102, floor-treating device 10 begins the processing operation in the scheduled time in subregion.In the floor-treating device 10 processing operating process in the given time, when ground treating apparatus 10 rolls the scope of target emanation away from, signal receiving unit 104 induction fall short radiation on the floor-treating device 10, and will represent that induction sends to the control module (step S106) of floor-treating device 10 less than the signal of this target emanation.In step S107, the control module of floor-treating device 10 sends instruction, and order floor-treating device 10 moves seeks target emanation, and the receiving element 104 on floor-treating device 10 is sensed this target emanation and proceeded the normal handling operation again.Like this, floor-treating device 10 continues the processing operation (step S108) in the scheduled time.
In the process of working on, if floor-treating device 10 rolls the scope of target emanation once more away from, the then operation of repeating step S106~S108.Like this, in this way, in a sub regions, i.e. work in the zone that target emanation limits is up to the processing operation of finishing in the scheduled time (step S109) under the control of control module for floor-treating device 10.
On the other hand, in the floor-treating device 10 processing operating process in the given time, if signal receiving unit 104 can receive target emanation (step S105) always, then floor-treating device 10 is working in the subregion that this target emanation limits under the control of control module, up to the work of finishing in the scheduled time (step S109).
