Abstract: A positioning system for detecting the position of a cleansing device is provided. The positioning system includes a cleansing device and a base station. The cleansing device includes a controlling unit, a cleaning module, a first emitting unit, and a second emitting unit. The controlling unit controls cleansing operation performed on a cleansing region taken care by the cleaning module, controls the first emitting unit to emit an initial signal, and controls the second emitting unit to emit an ultrasonic signal. The base station includes a first receiving unit, two second receiving units, and a computing unit. The first receiving unit receives the initial signal. The second receiving units receive the ultrasonic signal. The computing unit computes the position of the cleansing device according to the initial signal received and the point in time when the ultrasonic signal is received.

Abstract: A battery charger having a charging side at the body thereof for receiving and charging a mobile robotic vacuum cleaner is disclosed. The charging side has a groove, a sound wave transmitter mounted in the groove and a baffle mounted in the groove in front side of the sound wave transmitter for reflecting the sound wave transmitted by the ultrasonic transmitter toward two opposite lateral sides of the charging side along the groove to form two opposing sound wave beams to form two opposing sound wave beams for receiving by a sound wave receiver of the mobile robotic vacuum cleaner for determination of the steering direction. Subject to the guide of the sound wave beams, the mobile robotic vacuum cleaner is accurately guided to the battery charger and will not pass over or impact the battery charger.

Abstract: A guiding device for guiding a mobile robotic vacuum cleaner to a charging base is composed of a central sensor, a left sensor, and a right sensor. The mobile robotic vacuum cleaner is composed of a main processor and a driving system. The charging base includes an optical emitter for emitting optical signals toward a predetermined direction. The central sensor, the right sensor, and the left sensor are electrically connected with the main processor and mounted to a charging sensor set zone. In this way, the main processor can judge whether the mobile robotic device correctly moves toward the charging base according to the signals detected by the sensors and then adjustably control the moving direction of the mobile robotic vacuum cleaner via the driving system to guide the mobile robotic vacuum cleaner to accurately move toward the charging base.
