Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for processing a ground surface with a self-propelled and self-steering harrow, wherein the processing of the soil surface is based on a pattern along which the cultivator is moved, wherein the pattern laterally adjacent tracks and wherein when driving a train from the harrow a respective processing area is recorded and edited.
- the invention relates to a harrow.
- tillage equipment such as floor cleaning devices, known, with which the floor surface can be processed using a method mentioned above and in particular cleaned.
- a serpentine meander pattern is used in which adjacent tracks are driven by the floor cleaning device alternately in a direction of travel and the opposite direction of travel.
- a spiral floor surface boundary following pattern in which the soil tillage implement moves in a spiral (with pointed or rounded corners) parallel to boundaries of the floor surface. The processing of the spiral can be done from outside to inside with decreasing radius or from inside to outside with increasing radius.
- Adjacent tracks are driven by the floor cleaning device along the same direction of travel.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a method of the type mentioned and a floor cleaning device for performing the method, with a simple way, the widest possible coverage of the floor surface can be achieved.
- This object is achieved in a generic method according to the invention in that the pattern is adapted to the size and / or the contour of the bottom surface, that along adjacent boundaries of the bottom surface in each case runs a path with adjacent to the boundary processing area and intervening tracks arranged are that a comprehensive coverage of the bottom surface takes place, wherein the relative position of at least two adjacent tracks is chosen such that their processing areas overlap at least in sections.
- the pattern underlying the machining can be adapted to the size and / or the contour of the floor surface.
- the control unit may analyze a map of the floor area provided to it or stored in the tillage implement to advantageously match the pattern to the floor area.
- a path runs along adjacent boundaries of the bottom surface in such a way that the processing region adjoins the boundary and edge-facing processing of the bottom surface can be carried out.
- each side juxtaposed webs are positioned so that a nationwide processing of the bottom surface can be performed. This is possible in particular because their processing areas adjoin one another. The position of at least two adjacent webs is selected such that their processing areas overlap at least in sections.
- the boundaries of the floor surface may be physical boundaries, particularly side walls of a room having the floor space.
- at least one boundary is a non-physical boundary.
- Such a limitation arises, for example, from a segmentation of a space having a plurality of segments of the bottom surface, wherein the segment to be processed of the bottom surface adjoins another segment of the bottom surface along the boundary.
- a boundary of the bottom surface may also lie along a line on which segments of the bottom surface which have different textures (for example different floor coverings) adjoin one another.
- the method according to the invention is particularly suitable for processing floor surfaces with monotone polygonal edging.
- the floor area is considered to be "monotone” if every line perpendicular to an imaginary reference line intersects the border of the floor area a maximum of twice.
- the method according to the invention is used for a convex bottom surface, for example a quadrangular convex bottom surface.
- a "convex” is considered to be a bottom surface if an imaginary connecting line of any two points of the bottom surface lies in the bottom surface.
- “Full coverage” is understood here in particular taking into account the geometric relationships of the soil cultivation device so that a complete processing of the bottom surface between the opposing boundaries of the bottom surface is possible.
- Possible unprocessed sections of the floor surface for example common “gussets”
- the reason for changes in the direction of travel of the cultivator is not considered to be covered by the requirement of "area coverage”.
- Such "gussets” can occur in particular because a minimum radius is required for changing the direction of travel of the cultivator. Even in a change of direction by turning on the spot, such "gussets” may remain.
- a non-machined portion of the ground surface may remain, for example, between a processing unit of the harrow and the limit of the position of a direction change.
- areas that were not captured during processing such as the gussets mentioned above, may be edited after the pattern has been processed. It can be provided that a contour-parallel, near-edge processing of the bottom surface takes place in order to detect near-edge gussets. Unrecorded areas can also be targeted and edited.
- the relative position of more than two adjacent tracks is chosen such that the processing areas each adjacent tracks at least partially overlap.
- a total overlap between all processing areas is, as it were, subdivided into different sections, whereby each section results from the fact that multiple two adjacent tracks at least partially overlap.
- the relative position of all webs is selected so that the processing areas of adjacent webs at least partially overlap.
- the position of the webs is selected such that the respective overlap is the same.
- the relative position of all adjoining webs is preferably selected so that the webs are the same or substantially equal to each other.
- the number of adjacent webs is selected so that the width of a RescueREMlapps, which results from the overlap of the processing areas adjacent tracks, is smaller than the width of a processing area. Otherwise, the pattern could be matched to the bottom surface such that one of the adjacent tracks is saved to reduce the size of the overall overlap. As a result, a comprehensive coverage of the floor surface can continue to be carried out and excessive stress on the floor surface can be avoided.
- Adjacent webs are preferably aligned parallel to each other, in particular in mutually parallel, opposite boundaries of the bottom surface.
- the opposing boundaries of the bottom surface are aligned at an angle to each other. This can be understood in particular to mean that the boundaries run along lines that intersect at a point.
- the relative position of at least two adjacent webs is selected such that they include an angle which is preferably smaller than the angle between the boundaries.
- the relative position of all webs is selected so that adjacent webs each include an angle.
- the position of the webs is chosen so that the respective angle is the same.
- the paths run along imaginary lines which start from a common point of intersection and have identical angular distances from each other.
- the pattern is aligned within the floor surface in such a way that the number of changes in direction of travel when the floor surface is processed over a wide area is minimized.
- Direction of travel changes are usually slower than operations on the ground surface where the harrow travels along one of the tracks.
- a serpentine meander pattern can be used.
- a close-to-edge, contour-parallel processing of the floor surface can be connected to the processing of the pattern.
- any unprocessed areas such as the "gussets" mentioned above, can be processed.
- the pattern is based on a spiral floor area limiting sequence pattern.
- the harrow can be moved parallel to boundaries of the ground surface, whereby the spiral can be processed from outside to inside or inside to outside.
- a floor cleaning device is used as a soil cultivation device, with which the bottom surface is cleaned.
- the cleaning may include at least one of the following operations: suction, sweeping, wiping, scrubbing, dry cleaning, wet cleaning.
- an inventive self-propelled and self-steering tillage implement for performing one of the above methods, comprising a chassis for moving on the ground surface and a control unit for driving the landing gear and at least one tillage unit, which defines a processing area, the chassis of the control unit is controlled, that the processing of the bottom surface is a pattern laid along which the tillage device is moved, the pattern has laterally adjacent tracks and wherein when driving a track from the harrow, the respective processing area detected and is processed, wherein the pattern of the control unit is adapted to the size and / or the contour of the bottom surface, that along each of adjacent boundaries of the bottom surface in each case a path with bordering on the boundary processing area and intervening tracks are arranged so that a nationwide processing of the bottom surface takes place, wherein the relative position of at least two adjacent tracks is chosen such that their processing areas overlap at least in sections.
- the harrow may comprise a storage unit (which may also be integrated into the control unit), which comprises a map of the bottom surface and / or a plurality of patterns that can be adapted to the size and / or contour of the bottom surface. It can also be provided that the control unit is provided with a map of the floor surface by an operator.
- the cultivator is preferably a floor cleaning appliance, wherein the at least one soil cultivating unit is a floor cleaning aggregate.
- the at least one cleaning aggregate can be, for example, a brush roller, a disc brush, a disc brush, a suction nozzle or a dirt pick-up device.
- Figure 1 a schematic representation of a soil cultivation device according to the invention, designed as a floor cleaning device;
- FIG. 2 shows schematically the processing of a first, by way of example selected, bottom surface, whereby the serration pattern underlying the machining is adapted to the size of the bottom surface, and
- FIG. 3 shows schematically the processing of a further, by way of example selected, bottom surface, whereby the serrated meander pattern on which the processing is based is adapted to the size and contour of the bottom surface.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic view of an advantageous embodiment of a soil cultivation device according to the invention for carrying out an advantageous embodiment of a method according to the invention.
- the cultivator is configured as a floor cleaning device 10 for cleaning a floor surface 12.
- a rectangular bottom surface 12 is first selected.
- the invention is not limited to a treatment of a rectangular bottom surface.
- the floor cleaning device 10 comprises a chassis 14, which has a drive, not shown.
- the drive can be controlled by a control unit 16 of the floor cleaning device 10.
- the direction of travel of the floor cleaning device 10 can be specified on the bottom surface 12.
- the floor cleaning device 10 comprises at least one cleaning unit 18.
- the cleaning unit 18 may comprise at least one cleaning tool, for example a brush roller, a disc brush or a disc brush, a suction nozzle or a dirt collecting device. There may be more than one cleaning aggregate on the floor cleaning device 10.
- the cleaning unit 18 defines a processing area and in particular a cleaning area 20.
- the cleaning area 20 is detected and cleaned by the cleaning unit 18 when the floor cleaning appliance 10 is moved on the floor surface 12.
- the cleaning area 20 is defined in particular by the width of the cleaning unit 18, so that the cleaning area 20 is strip-shaped when driving, in particular has the shape of a straight strip when traveling straight.
- the following explanation of Figures 2 and 3 anticipates the respective cleaning area 20 runs between the dashed contours when driving the floor cleaning device 10 "up” on the drawing sheet and between the dotted contours when driving the floor cleaning device 10 "down” on the drawing sheet.
- the floor cleaning device 10 also has a memory unit 22, which is coupled to the control unit 16 and could be integrated in it. At least one pattern is stored in the memory unit 22, which can be used as a basis for cleaning the bottom surface 12 and adapted to its size and / or contour in the manner explained below.
- the pattern is in particular, it is a serpentine meander pattern 24, which is used in an advantageous embodiment of the method.
- a map of the bottom surface 12 is stored in the storage unit 22.
- the card may be read by the controller 16 to adjust the meander pattern 24 to its size and / or contour.
- the floor cleaning device 10 further includes a location unit 26 that is coupled to the control unit 16.
- the localization unit 26 could also be integrated in the control unit 16.
- the control unit 16 can determine the position of the floor cleaning appliance 10 on the floor surface 12. This makes it easier for the control unit 16 to control the landing gear 14 in a desired manner so that the floor cleaning appliance 10 can be moved along a planned path over the floor surface 12 in order to clean it.
- FIG. Figure 2 shows the bottom surface 12 and its boundaries 28, 30, 32 and 34.
- the boundaries 28 and 32 face each other and the boundaries 30 and 34 face each other.
- the bottom surface 12 has a rectangular shape, wherein the boundaries 28, 32 extend in the longitudinal direction and the boundaries 30, 34 in the transverse direction.
- the boundaries 28 to 34 may be physical boundaries of the floor surface 12, for example due to sidewalls of a room having the floor surface 12. Also possible are non-physical limitations.
- the bottom surface 12 is a segment of a total floor area of a room that is not otherwise shown.
- the serpentine meander pattern 24 has adjacent tracks 36 in its basic form. Between each adjacent tracks 36, a direction of travel change 38 of the floor cleaning device 10 takes place. At the position of a change of direction 38, the floor cleaning device 10 makes a turn 40, via which adjacent tracks 36 merge into one another.
- the meander pattern 24 is adapted to the size of the bottom surface 12 such that the control unit 16 positions a web 36 along the boundary 28 such that the cleaning region 20 covered when driving on this web (additionally provided with the reference numeral 42) borders on the boundary 28.
- the web 42 runs in particular parallel to the boundary 28. If the soil cultivation device 10 is moved along the path 42, a near-surface cleaning of the bottom surface 12 at the boundary 28 can be carried out.
- the control unit further adjusts the meander pattern 24 so that another one of the tracks 36 is positioned so that the cleaning area 20 detected in the process along this path (additionally provided with the reference number 44) adjoins the boundary 32.
- the bottom surface 12 can be cleaned close to the edge at the boundary 32.
- the web 44 runs parallel to the boundary 32.
- the control unit 16 further adjusts the meander pattern 24 so that further tracks 36 are disposed between the tracks 42 and 44. All tracks 36 are parallel to each other and are preferably evenly spaced from each other.
- the relative position of the webs 36 is also preferably selected so that the respective overlap 46 is the same size. This can be achieved by spacing the webs 36 equally.
- the number of tracks 36 is further selected by the control unit 16 such that the width of the overlap 46 is smaller overall than the width of a cleaning area 20. This ensures that the floor area 12 can be cleaned with the least possible number of tracks 36.
- the floor cleaning device 10 When cleaning the bottom surface 12, the floor cleaning device 10 is first moved along the path 42 (in the drawing sheet from bottom to top) and detects a symbolized by dashed lines cleaning area 20. After the first turn 40 moves the floor cleaning device 10 in the opposite direction (in the drawing sheet from above down), detecting a point-limited cleaning area 20. The cleaning area overlaps at the first overlap 46 with the previously detected cleaning area 20.
- the floor cleaning device 10 performs four more turns 40 with subsequent tracks 36, the last track 44 of the boundary 32 is adjacent.
- a comprehensive and at the same time rapid cleaning of the bottom surface 12 is made possible.
- An advantage of the invention with adaptable overlapping of the processing areas 20 can also be seen in that it can be avoided that the floor cleaning appliance 10 can avoid coming into a situation with a bottom surface with non-convex shape (for example with a protruding corner) a direction change in execution direction of the meander pattern is not possible ("dead end situation"). In this case, in conventional methods, an additional track would be completed, which delays the processing.
- the harrow 10 has the opportunity to turn on the spot.
- the turns 40 could be carried out by a two-time rotation by 90 °, whereby the gussets 48 could be minimized.
- any unrecognized areas of the bottom surface 12 can be cleaned, for example, after the execution of the meander pattern 24.
- the gussets 48 are cleaned by a contours parallel close to the edge of the floor cleaning device 10 at the boundaries 30, 34. This can be done, for example, in the context of a helical, subsequent processing of the bottom surface 12, in which also any gussets could be detected, which remain radially on the inside of the turns 40.
- the bottom surface 12 is not rectangular. Instead, the bottom surface 12 has a trapezoidal contour, wherein the boundaries 30, 34 are aligned parallel to each other. The boundaries 28, 32 are aligned at an angle to each other. Thought extensions of the boundaries 28, 32 intersect at a point outside the ground surface 12 (not shown).
- the webs 42, 44 are arranged, as in the preceding exemplary embodiment, such that their cleaning regions 20 adjoin the boundaries 28, 32 in order to allow cleaning close to the edge.
- the tracks 42, 44 are aligned at an angle to each other, wherein the angle corresponds to that of the boundaries 28, 32.
- the remaining tracks 36 are planned and positioned by the control unit such that at least two adjacent tracks 36 enclose an angle with each other that is smaller than the angle between the boundaries 28, 32. In other words, at least two adjacent tracks 36 are non-parallel to each other arranged, but have an inclination to each other.
- more than two and preferably all adjacent tracks 36 are positioned such that adjacent tracks 36 are each oriented at an angle to each other.
- the tracks 36 are preferred way positioned so that the respective angle between adjacent tracks 36 is equal. This is shown in FIG.
- the cleaning regions 20 of adjacent webs overlap in sections on a respective overlap 46 in order to achieve surface-wide cleaning of the bottom surface 12, whereby gores 48 which are not cleaned could remain in this case due to changes in direction of travel 38.
- the meander pattern 24 is aligned by the control unit 16 within the ground surface 12 such that the number of travel direction changes 38 is minimized. This is achieved in that the webs 36 each extend in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular or trapezoidal bottom surface 12.
