[0003] The process flow for a tank-type cleaning machine is typically set up by the customer first submitting their process requirements, then designing the functions according to those requirements, and then commissioning by electrical personnel. Finally, the machine is delivered to the customer for acceptance. However, the customer may not necessarily use the previously designed process flow during acceptance or subsequent use, and may make changes. After these changes, electrical personnel will need to re-commission the process flow, reducing acceptance efficiency, further delaying the delivery of the tank-type cleaning machine, and causing significant inconvenience during subsequent use.

[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] Specifically, see Figure 1 , is a method for generating a process flow provided by the present disclosure. Applied to a tank-type cleaning machine, a tank-type cleaning machine generally includes multiple tanks, each tank having a corresponding process. The specific steps are as follows:

[0038] S1, receiving an initial code string provided by a user, the initial code string being composed of multiple codes, each code corresponding to one of the slots.

[0039] In some embodiments, the process flow is a process flow suitable for tank-type wet cleaning. Typically, a tank-type cleaning machine has multiple process tanks (for example, corresponding to a loading table, multiple cleaning tanks, and an unloading table). Each process tank has a corresponding debugged process. These processes are designed in advance according to customer needs. These designed processes are usually not easily changed. In some embodiments, it is assumed that these processes will not change. The process execution of the above-mentioned different process tanks can be understood as different process segments in the process.

[0040] S2, judging whether the initial code string meets a preset standard according to the multiple codes and their order in the initial code string.

[0041] In some embodiments, each process stage is assigned a corresponding code. After the tank cleaning machine is delivered to the user, the user only needs to generate a code string consisting of multiple codes on the host computer (each code corresponds to a tank, and the order of the codes in the code string is the order in which the flower basket passes through the tanks). Generally, the user can customize the code string according to actual needs. The code can be a digital code, where the digital code can be a decimal or binary number. In addition, the code can be encoded using a specific agreed-upon symbol.

[0042] In some embodiments, the machine can determine the rationality of the coding string by itself. Taking the decimal digital coding as an example, the codes corresponding to each process section can be 0 for the loading table, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 for each cleaning tank, and 7 for the unloading table. A reasonable coding string generally starts with 0 and ends with 7, with an unlimited number of digits from 1 to 6 appearing in the middle, and may also appear non-continuously, such as 01234567, 0123247; wherein, the maximum number of digits of the code is a preset value (for example, 10). It can be understood that the size of the preset value can be agreed in advance according to the specific scenario. Under normal circumstances, the number of digits of the coding string given by the demander must be less than or equal to the preset value.

[0043] S3: If it meets the requirements, generate the final code string based on the initial code string.

[0044] S4: If it does not match, a reminder to modify the initial coding string is issued to enable the user to make the modification, and the process returns to the step of receiving the initial coding string provided by the user.

[0045] In some embodiments, the specific steps for determining whether the process flow is reasonable include, taking the above-mentioned decimal code as an example, (1) first determining whether the following conditions are met: the first digit of the code string is 0, the last digit is 7, and the codes at other positions are not 7. If so, continue; otherwise, the code string is considered unreasonable and a prompt message is output. Set all codes after 7 to 0; (2) determine whether there are two consecutive identical codes in the middle position of the code string (excluding the first and last digits); if not, continue; otherwise, the code string is considered unreasonable and a prompt message is output. (3) obtain the number of digits of the code string and determine whether the number of digits is less than a preset value. If so, use a special code (such as 0) after the code string to automatically fill the code string until the number of digits is the preset value, and use the filled code string as the final code string; otherwise, use the code string directly as the final code string.

[0046] If it is determined to be reasonable, the system will automatically generate a process flow based on the code string and execute the process flow (i.e., the flower baskets are placed into the corresponding process slots in sequence using a robotic arm according to the process flow). If it is determined to be unreasonable, an alarm message will be provided to remind the customer to modify the code string and the rationality of the modified code string will be re-evaluated.

[0047] In some embodiments, the specific steps of generating a process flow include: after determining that the code string is reasonable and obtaining the final code string, retrieving corresponding process parameters based on the code in the final code string to form the process flow, and the host computer of the tank cleaning machine sends instructions to the robotic arm to begin transporting the flower basket according to the process flow (the same process flow may be repeated for multiple flower baskets). The filler code after code 7 is meaningless and does not require or require process parameters.

[0048] In some embodiments, the process flow also includes multiple access parameters for indicating whether access between two adjacent slots is open or disabled. During the process of forming the process flow, if there is no duplication of codes corresponding to process sections in the final code string, all access parameters are set to open.

[0049] In some embodiments, if the codes corresponding to the cleaning tanks in the final code string are repeated: first, all access parameters are set to be variable and disabled by default (when this process flow is actually run, only the access parameters for the current process tank where the flower basket is located are changed to open, and the others remain disabled); second, a single-basket operation identifier is added to the process flow (when the upper computer reads the single-basket operation identifier in this process flow, it disables the loading platform, indicating that when the current flower basket is running according to this process flow, other flower baskets are not allowed to run, and the next flower basket can only be started after the current flower basket has finished running from beginning to end).

[0050] It is important to note that if the final code string contains no duplicate cleaning tank codes, there is no need to add a single basket operation indicator to the process flow. When the host computer reads this process flow, it will not disable the loading station, indicating that multiple flower baskets can run the process flow simultaneously. Note that they run sequentially, for example, after the current flower basket leaves the loading station, the next flower basket can be sent to the loading station.

[0051] For example Figure 2 In the process shown, the code string provided by the customer is 01232567, which is determined to be reasonable. The customer provides an 8-bit code string, and the number of code bits set here is 11. Therefore, the final code string formed by the host computer is 01232567000 ( Figure 2 The upper computer forms the process flow based on this. The middle digits 123256 have corresponding process parameters (for easy display, Figure 2 If the code still represents the corresponding process parameter in the process flow, and code 2 appears repeatedly, a single basket operation mark is added to the process flow, and all the pass parameter states are set to variable and disabled by default ( Figure 2 (The darker areas in the upper middle table indicate disabled status.) In subsequent runs of this process, when the flower basket is placed on the loading platform, the access parameters between the loading platform and slot 1 are set to open, while the other access parameters remain disabled. When the flower basket enters slot 3, the access parameters between slot 3 and slot 2 behind it are set to open, while the other access parameters remain disabled.

[0052] In some embodiments, if an error occurs when a flower basket is running according to a certain process flow, and the process flow is not completed, and the process flow needs to be continued from the stopped position, the upper computer adds a restart tag in the process flow corresponding to the position where the flower basket stopped. After the customer takes the flower basket away and the fault is resolved, the process flow is re-run. When the restart tag is read, the flower basket is directly placed from the loading table to the previously stopped position to continue to complete the process flow, and the restart tag is deleted after the flower basket completes the process flow.
