In the setting mode, based on the AGV running path map, the wireless signal quality fed back by the AGVs at different positions is combined to form the regional wireless signal distribution map, so that the effectiveness and the instantaneity are strong, and the follow-up accurate calculation of the wireless signal relay point by the central control server 2 can be facilitated.
Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 7, in step (3), the method for selecting a wireless signal relay point includes:
according to the regional wireless signal distribution diagram, the wireless signal quality at different positions is classified into a plurality of grades of N1 and N2 … Nn (N is more than or equal to 3) from low to high, wherein N1 represents a signal blind area;

if the area where the wireless signal of the AGV is poor is an X-shaped line, the position with the wireless signal quality of N1 or N2 grade in the four portals is selected as a wireless signal relay point.
The method for selecting the wireless signal relay point is simple and convenient, so that the operation pressure on the central control server 2 is reduced, the operation speed is improved, the production efficiency is improved, the wireless signal relay point is conveniently and rapidly determined, and the wireless signal of the area where the wireless signal of the AGV is located is enhanced by the flight relay device 1.

If a position with the wireless signal quality of N1 grade is selected as a wireless signal relay point, the wireless signal relay point is required to be positioned within 5 km of the position with the wireless signal quality of N2 grade.
Referring to fig. 4 to 5, in step (4), the central control server 2 receives a communication interruption early warning signal sent by the AGV, and sends out the flight relay device 1 to move to a wireless signal relay point.
After the central control server 2 obtains the regional wireless signal distribution diagram, the triggering condition is set according to the actual situation, and after receiving the communication interruption early warning signal sent by the AGV, the central control server sends out the flight relay device 1 to execute the wireless signal relay task, so that the production cost is saved.
Referring to fig. 4, in step (4), the central control server 2 is communicatively connected with all the flight relay devices 1 to find available flight relay devices 1, if the available flight relay devices 1 are found, one of the flight relay devices 1 is dispatched to move to a wireless signal relay point, otherwise, after waiting for t minutes (10 is greater than or equal to t > 0), the communication connection is performed with all the flight relay devices 1.
Specifically, the available flight relay device 1 refers to a flight relay device 1 that can function normally, is full of electricity, and communicates normally.
The above arrangement ensures that the central control server 2 is in communication connection with the flight relay device 1 to identify all available flight relay devices 1 for dispatch to perform wireless signal relay tasks at any time depending on the production situation.
In step (4), in the process of moving the flight relay device 1 to the wireless signal relay point, a status feedback signal is sent to the central control server 2, wherein the status feedback signal comprises the position information of the flight relay device 1, the flight height data and the AGV positioning result.
Referring to fig. 4, in step (4), in the process of moving the flight relay device 1 to the wireless signal relay point, the flight relay device 1 searches for and locates the AGV 3 that sends the communication interruption early warning signal.
Referring to fig. 4, in step (4), in the process that the flying relay device 1 moves to the wireless signal relay point, the flying relay device 1 sends a connection signal to find the AGV 3 sending the communication interruption early warning signal, if the flying relay device 1 is in communication connection with the AGV, the AGV feeds back the wireless signal recovery signal, the flying relay device 1 sends the wireless signal recovery signal to the central server and continues to move to the wireless signal relay point, otherwise, the flying relay device 1 determines that the wireless signal recovery signal cannot be in communication connection with the AGV and continues to move to the wireless signal relay point.
Because the AGV feeds back the wireless signal to the central server, the flight relay device 1 acquires the coordinate position of the AGV 3 sending the communication interruption early warning signal, if the flight relay device 1 is in communication connection with the AGV in the process of moving to the wireless signal relay point, the flight relay device 1 enters a communication range with the AGV, so that the communication interruption early warning is released, but the communication quality between the two is poor, and therefore the flight relay device 1 continues to move to the wireless signal relay point, so that the communication quality between the flight relay device 1 and the AGV is enhanced; if the flight relay device 1 cannot be in communication connection with the AGV in the process of moving to the wireless signal relay point, it indicates that the flight relay device 1 does not enter the communication range with the AGV (or the AGV enters the signal blind area after feeding back the wireless signal to the central control server 2), and the flight relay device 1 needs to move to the wireless signal relay point and then find the AGV, so as to ensure that the AGV still operates normally.
The AGV continues to move after feeding back the wireless signal to the central control server 2, and thus the AGV may enter the signal dead zone after feeding back the wireless signal to the central control server 2.
Preferably, in step (5), after the flight relay device 1 moves to a wireless signal relay point, the best relay flight height is obtained according to the wireless signal fed back by the AGV in communication connection with the flight relay device;

By controlling the distance between the flying relay device 1 and the contact object below the wireless signal relay point to be not more than 50 meters, the flying relay device 1 is prevented from climbing too high, the flying stability is reduced, and the generated flying height data is prevented from being too high.
Preferably, in step (b 4), the step of calculating the optimum relay altitude of the flight relay device 1 from the altitude data and the relay wireless signal by the central control server 2 includes:

Referring to fig. 4, step (6) is further included;
(6) The central control server 2 receives the wireless signal fed back by the AGV transmitted by the flight relay device 1, updates the regional wireless signal distribution diagram, and repeats the steps (3) to (6).
