US 10,792,911 B2 · Nonrestrictive drive-type marking system and marking method thereof

Abstract

In order to allow a worker to accurately and repeatedly mark an original plan on a working surface, provided is a nonrestrictive drive-type marking system including a nonrestrictive drive-type marking device, the nonrestrictive drive-type marking system including an input unit configured to receive data of content to be marked; a marking unit configured to mark the content corresponding to the data on a working surface; a driving unit configured to allow at least a part of the nonrestrictive drive-type marking device comprising the marking unit to nonrestrictively move on the working surface; a position detecting unit configured to sense position information of the nonrestrictive drive-type marking device; and a control unit electrically connected to the input unit, the marking unit, the driving unit, and the position detecting unit, and configured to calculate a current position of the at least the part of the nonrestrictive drive-type marking device comprising the marking unit by comparing the position information with the data, to compare the current position with the data, and if the current position does not match with the data and a degree of mismatch thereof is within a preset range, to move at least a part of the marking unit, and to control the nonrestrictive drive-type marking device to mark the content corresponding to the data on the working surface while the nonrestrictive drive-type marking device moves.

Dependent claims

A nonrestrictive drive-type marking system comprising a movable nonrestrictive drive-type marking device, the nonrestrictive drive-type marking system comprising:

an input unit configured to receive data of content to be marked;
a marking unit configured to mark the content corresponding to the data on a working surface;
a driving unit configured to allow at least a part of the nonrestrictive drive-type marking device comprising the marking unit to nonrestrictively move on the working surface;
a position detecting unit configured to generate position information of at least a part of the nonrestrictive drive-type marking device;
and
a control unit electrically connected to the input unit, the marking unit, the driving unit, and the position detecting unit, and configured to:
calculate a current position of at least a part of the nonrestrictive drive-type marking device including the marking unit by comparing the position information with the data;
compare the current position with the data;
move at least a part of the marking unit when the current position does not match with the data and a degree of mismatch thereof is within a preset range;
move at least a part of the nonrestrictive drive-type marking device when the current position does not match with the data and the degree of mismatch thereof exceeds the preset range;
and
control the nonrestrictive drive-type marking device when the current position matches with the data to mark the content corresponding to the data on the working surface.

A nonrestrictive drive-type marking method comprising:

inputting data of content to be marked into a nonrestrictive drive-type marking device that is movable, the nonrestrictive drive-type marking device comprising a position detecting unit, a control unit, a driving unit, and a marking unit;
generating, by the position detecting unit, position information of at least a part of the nonrestrictive drive-type marking device;
recognizing, by the control unit, a current position of at least a part of the nonrestrictive drive-type marking device by comparing the position information with the data, wherein the control unit is electrically connected to the position detecting unit;
comparing, by the control unit, the current position with the data;
when the current position matches with a marking start point of the data, controlling, by the control unit, operations of the driving unit and the marking unit to move the nonrestrictive drive-type marking device and to mark the content corresponding to the data on the working surface from the marking start point;
when the current position does not match with the marking start point of the data and a degree of mismatch thereof is within a preset range, moving, by the control unit, at least a part of the marking unit;
and
when the current position does not match with the marking start point of the data and the degree of mismatch thereof exceeds the preset range, moving, by the control unit, at least a part of the nonrestrictive drive-type marking device.
