Definitions

  • the cleaner body is surrounded by a casing and the volume of the cleaner body defined by the casing is within the range 4 to 6 litres.
  • the casing protects the different components arranged in the cleaner body and the specified volume ensures a cleaner body with limited outer dimensions which makes it easier for the cleaner to clean areas that otherwise would have been difficult to access.
  • the dust container comprises a surface arranged to constitute a part of the cleaner casing to reduce the number of different components and/or different constructional elements within the cleaner body and thereby make it possible to increase the dust container volume within the cleaner body.
  • the inlet is arranged in a first side and the outlet is arranged in a second side of the dust container, said filter is arranged to extend across the entire dust container between the inlet and the outlet and the volume of the dust compartment on the inlet side of the filter is at least 0,6 liters.
  • the defined container design with the filter in the dust container is favourable since the flow of air through the dust container will extend through the filter.
  • This embodiment furthermore makes it possible to arrange a filter with large filter area such that the flow of air must pass through the filter.
  • the cleaner body has a lower side intended to be arranged towards a floor surface, an upper side in which the cavity is defined and a forward and an aft end.
  • an elongated brush roll with a first and a second end is arranged in a recess in the lower side of the cleaner body, said brush roll is extending substantially transverse to a longitudinal direction of the cleaner.
  • One embodiment of the autonomous cleaner comprises two drive units each comprising a wheel and an engine powering the wheel, said drive units are arranged behind the brush roll adjacent to the first and second end of the brush roll and said brush engine is arranged between the first and second drive unit.
  • the use of two separately arranged drive units facilitates the installation since each wheel has its dedicated small electrical engine arranged in direct relation to respective wheel.
  • a fan 50 and an electrical engine 51 for powering the fan are arranged to create a flow of air through the cleaner 10.
  • the air is sucked into the forward opening 23 of the dust passage 24 and continues via the dust passage 24 to the dust container 25 to assist the brush roll by sucking dust and particles from the floor surface and the brush roll and lead the dust and particles to the dust container 25.
  • the air continues via a dust compartment 32 through a filter 30 arranged in the dust container 25 above the inlet opening to ensure that dust and particles remain in the dust container before the air continues to an outlet opening 28 in the aft end of the dust container 25 and exits the cleaner via an outlet passage 31 in the aft end 14 of the cleaner casing.
  • the air flow through the cleaner 10 is illustrated in figure 2 by a number of small arrows A.
  • the dust container 25 comprises a container wall 31 formed of for example a plastic material.
  • the container wall 31 encloses a dust compartment 32 for collected dust and particles formed in the centre of the dust container 25.
  • the dust compartment 32 is defined by the surrounding dust container wall 31 and the filter extending within the dust container across the entire path from the inlet to the outlet to ensure a large filter area and that all air pass the filter.
  • the dust compartment has a volume within the range of 0.6 to 0.8 litres.
  • the dust container 25 comprises a first side 33 arranged in the forward end of the container and intended to be arranged substantially parallel to the aft end of the dust passage 24 and the brush roll.
  • the dust compartment volume is defined as the volume within the dust container usable for particles, debris and dust and the volume of the cleaner body the volume within the cleaner body with the volume of the dust container included in the cleaner body volume.
  • the dust compartment preferably has a volume exceeding 0.6 liters to ensure the desired extended time period between the required emptying of the dust container, and preferably the cleaner body volume does not exceed 7 liters to keep the overall dimensions of the cleaner body small which is essential to make it possible for the autonomous cleaner to turn and access narrow passages or floor areas.
