Method for automatically adjusting floor treatment device parameters
The patent US12064081B2 outlines a method for adjusting parameter ranges of a floor treatment device tailored to specific surface types. The process begins with a user selecting a device parameter, such as power consumption or rotational speed, using an adjustable actuating element. The user is guided via an external display to move the device over the surface during the adjustment process, which helps determine the surface properties and the corresponding device parameters. The control unit, equipped with a processor, automatically adjusts the selected parameters by operating the device from a minimum to a maximum limit until a fault is detected. This fault indicates the optimal limits for effective surface treatment without malfunction.
Further claims detail the flexibility of the adjustment process, allowing users to specify minimum and maximum parameter values, as well as predefine the floor type for treatment. The method also accommodates user-defined faults, which can include manual terminations or predefined device states, to halt the adjustment process. Additionally, users can access established parameter ranges for different surface types, enhancing the device's adaptability. Overall, the patent presents a systematic approach to optimizing floor treatment device parameters based on real-time feedback and user input, ensuring efficient and effective surface treatment.
