Floor Conveyor
First Claim
1. A floor conveyor comprising:
- a control unit and a sensor device, wherein the control unit is operable to control travel functions of the floor conveyor, wherein the sensor device is arranged to be able to provide the control unit with sensor data, wherein the sensor device is arranged such that it can detect objects in a plane, wherein the plane is extending along a first side of the floor conveyor, wherein the plane comprises a stop section, wherein the floor conveyor is arranged such that if an object is detected in the stop section the floor conveyor is stopped by control of the travel function from the control unit upon receipt of the sensor data indicating the object being positioned in the stop section, and the stop section is also extending along a section of a second side of the floor conveyor, wherein the second side is essentially perpendicular to the first side.

13. A method for operating a floor conveyor, the floor conveyor comprising:
-
a control unit and a sensor device, wherein the control unit is operable to control travel functions of the floor conveyor, wherein the sensor device is arranged to be able to provide the control unit with sensor data, wherein the sensor device is arranged such that it can detect objects in a plane, wherein the plane is extending along a first side of the floor conveyor, wherein the plane comprises a stop section, wherein the floor conveyor is arranged such that if an object is detected in the stop section the floor conveyor is stopped by control of the travel function from the control unit upon receipt of the sensor data indicating the object being positioned in the stop section, and the stop section is also extending along a section of a second side of the floor conveyor, wherein the second side is essentially perpendicular to the first side; and the method comprising the steps of; applying a detection plane from a sensor device, applying a section of the detection plane as a stop section in which if an object detected the floor conveyor will be stopped, and applying a first configuration of the stop section comprising a wedge shape on one side of the central symmetry line of the floor conveyor. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
