- the robot cleaner confirms presence and absence of obstacles or distance to the objects in a given area such as furniture, office equipment or wall, to be able to clean without undesirable collisions.
- An exemplary robot cleaner may include a left driving wheel, a right driving wheel, and a driven wheel, all at the lower part of a cleaner body.
- Each of the driving wheels are driven in association with a driving motor.
- the driving motor is controlled by a controller and therefore, the cleaner body can shift directions.
- the cleaner body may have a suction port at a lower part, to draw in foreign substances such as dust from a surface being cleaned.
- the suction port is subject to a suction force which is generated from a suction motor additionally provided to the cleaner body.

- the suction port 20 is formed to a predetermined length and in parallel relation with respect to a rotary shaft of the left/right driving wheels 12 and 13.
- the suction port 20 is extended to a predetermined length at the lower part of the cleaner body, but does not reach the side of the cleaner body 10.
- a rotary brush 21 may be provided to the suction port 20.
- the rotary brush 21 may be rotated by a driving force transmitted from the vacuum motor, or rotated by a suction force. When rotated by the suction force, a turbine is connected to the rotary brush 21.
- a wet floor-cloth unit mounting location 17 may be provided at the lower part of the cleaner body 10, for the mounting of a detachable wet floor-cloth 30.
- the wet floor-cloth unit mounting location 17 may be provided in near to the suction port 20, and recessed into the lower surface of the cleaner body 10 to a predetermined depth. Referring to FIGS.

- the driving force transmitting unit 35 may include a worm wheel gear 35a for engagement with the rotary body 33, and a worm gear member 35b which connects the worm wheel gear 35a with the shaft 34a of the rotary motor 34.
- the unit body 31 may be firmly secured by screws, while being inserted in the wet floor-cloth unit mounting location 17.
- the cleaner body 10 may include first and second mounting locations 18 and 19.
- the first mounting location 18 is recessed in the lower side of the cleaner body 10.
- the second mounting location 19 is recessed in the upper side of the cleaner body.
- the second mounting location 19 may be opened and closed by a door 40.
- the first mounting location 18 may be formed near the wet floor-cloth unit mounting location 17, or alternatively, may be connected with the wet floor-cloth unit mounting location 17.
- the first and second mounting locations 18 and 19 are preferably connected with each other.
- the vapor supply device 100 may include a water tank 110 which is removably mounted in the cleaner body 10, and a vapor generating module 120 also mounted in the cleaner body 10 in fluid connection with the water tank 110.
- the water tank 110 may include a water feed opening 111 through which water is supplied, and a water discharge opening 113 through which the water is fed into the vapor generating module 120.
- the water discharge opening 113 is provided with a valve to enable selective supply of water.
- the vapor generating module 120 converts the water of the water tank 110 into vapor so that the vapor can be sprayed through the lower part of the cleaner body 10.
- the vapor generating module 120 may include a housing 121 which is fluidly connected with the water tank 110 and holds a certain amount of water supplied from the water tank 110, a vapor generating element 123 which is provided inside the housing 121 and generates vapor during operation, and a vapor spray part 125.
- the housing 121 has a space to hold a predetermined amount of water therein, which may be detachably mounted at first mounting location 18.
- the housing 121 has an opening 122 on the upper part to receive water supply from the water tank 110.
- the vapor generating element 123 may include a pair of carbon rods which are positioned under the water of the housing 121.
- the carbon rods may be formed of substances such as charcoal or graphite, and therefore, form electrodes. More specifically, as plus (+) and minus (-) power is supplied from a power supply 50 to the carbon rods, the carbon rods start to be discharged and cause adjacent water to boil. As a result, steam is generated from the boiling water, and it usually takes approximately 3 to 5 seconds to generate steam.
- the carbon rods are electrically connected through connecting terminals 52 and 54.
- the connecting terminals 52 and 54 are provided to the housing 121 and the first mounting location 18 in a corresponding relation.
- the vapor generating element 123 may be a heater which vaporizes water by heating it with the supplied electricity.
- the vapor generating element 123 may be a high frequency vibrator which generates high frequency waves with a supply of electricity to decompose the water into vapor.
- the vapor generating element 123 is not limited to the examples provided herein, and may employ any adequate method of generating vapor that is available in the industrial field.
- the vapor spray part 125 may include a vapor duct 125a that connects to a side of the housing 121.
- the vapor duct 125a is connected with a vapor outlet 211a which is provided to an upper side of the housing 121.
- the vapor duct 125a includes a vapor spray nozzle 125b at a lower portion of the cleaner body 10, toward a direction which is exposed to the surface being cleaned.
- the vapor spray nozzle 125b is formed in the proximity of the wet floor-cloth 32. Accordingly, the vapor sprayed from the vapor spray nozzle 125b causes the wet floor-cloth to dampen the surface being cleaned, and cleaning efficiency improves.
- the vapor spray nozzle 125b may be formed in plural numbers at regular intervals.
- the vapor spray part 125 may further include a fan 126 mounted to the vapor duct 125a. By the rotation, the fan 126 forcibly blows the vapor from the housing 121 to discharge to the vapor spray nozzle 125b.
- an automatic cleaning apparatus having the above constructions has a vapor generating means and therefore, is able to spray vapor to a surface being cleaned to loosen stubborn dirt or dust on the surface. Then as the wet floor-cloth wipes out the loosened dirt or dust, the surface is cleaned more rapidly and with higher efficiency.
