In addition, the motor driving unit 136 drives the motor 43 by the control signal from the control unit 120.

상기한 바와 같이 구성된 하드웨어를 통해 본 발명에 따른 원격제어 청소기의 자동 청소방법의 동작과정에 대하여 도 2 내지 도 5를 참조하여 상세하게 설명하기로 한다.The operation of the automatic cleaning method of the remote control cleaner according to the present invention through the hardware configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5.

먼저, 사용자가 청소기본체(100)를 청소하고자 하는 청소영역(200)의 초기위치(a)에 청소기를 위치시킴으로써, 청소기본체(100)의 초기위치를 설정한다(스텝 312).First, the user sets the initial position of the cleaning basic body 100 by placing the cleaner at the initial position a of the cleaning area 200 to which the cleaning basic body 100 is to be cleaned (step 312).

그리고, 사용자가 원격조정기(20) 내의 키패드(22)를 이용하여 청소하고자 하는 청소영역(200)의 크기(가로(L1)×세로(L2))를 입력하고(스텝 314), 진행방향(예를 들어, 우측)을 설정한 다음(스텝 316), 바닥면의 먼지상태에 따라 도 4와 도 5에 도시된 바와 같은 청소경로를 설정하면(스텝 318), 원격조정기(20)로부터 그에 상응하는 키신호가 송출되어 디코더(115)를 통해 디코딩된 다음, 제어부(120)로 입력된다.Then, the user inputs the size of the cleaning area 200 (horizontal (L1) x vertical (L2)) to be cleaned using the keypad 22 in the remote controller 20 (step 314), and the moving direction (example For example, setting the right side (step 316), and setting the cleaning path as shown in Figs. 4 and 5 according to the dust state of the bottom surface (step 318), the corresponding from the remote controller 20 The key signal is transmitted, decoded through the decoder 115, and then input to the controller 120.

다음에, 사용자가 원격조정기(20)를 통해 동작버튼(23)을 조작하면, 제어부(120)로부터의 제어신호에 의해 외부전원선(47)을 통해 모터(43)로 전원이 공급되어 모터(43)가 구동되므로써 흡입력이 발생되고, 이에 따라 바닥면에 있는 먼지 등의 이물질이 청소기본체(100)의 전면하부에 설치된 흡입구(51)를 통해 흡입되어 흡입통로(53)를 거친 다음, 집진팩(45)내에 집진되므로써 청소가 수행된다(스텝 320).Next, when the user operates the operation button 23 through the remote controller 20, power is supplied to the motor 43 through the external power line 47 by the control signal from the control unit 120 to supply the motor ( 43) is driven to generate a suction force, whereby foreign matter such as dust on the bottom surface is sucked through the suction port 51 installed in the front lower part of the cleaning main body 100 and passes through the suction passage 53, and then the dust collection pack. Cleaning is performed by collecting dust in 45 (step 320).

그리고, 사용자가 원격조정기(20) 내의 키패드(22)에 구비된 전진버튼을 조작하면, 제어부(120)로부터의 제어신호에 의해 좌륜 모터구동부(132)와 우륜 모터구동부(134)를 통해 좌륜(42)과 우륜(44)이 구동되어 청소기본체(100)가 전진구동된다(스텝 322).When the user operates the forward button provided on the keypad 22 in the remote controller 20, the left wheel (eg, the left wheel motor driver 132 and the right wheel motor driver 134) is controlled by a control signal from the controller 120. 42 and the right wheel 44 are driven to drive the cleaning main body 100 forward (step 322).

한편, 청소기본체(100)의 전진구동 중에 제어부(120)는 좌륜 및 우륜 모터구동부(132, 134)의 구동시간을 체크함으로써 전진거리를 측정하고, 전진거리가 설정된 청소영역(200)의 가로크기(L1)인가를 체크한다(스텝 324).On the other hand, during the forward driving of the cleaning main body 100, the control unit 120 measures the forward distance by checking the driving time of the left and right wheel motor drive unit (132, 134), the horizontal size of the cleaning area 200, the forward distance is set (L1) It is checked (step 324).

상기 스텝(324)에서의 체크결과, 측정된 전진거리(a부터 b까지의 거리)가 설정된 청소영역(200)의 가로크기(L1)이면, 제어부(120)는 청소기본체(100)의 진행방향을 스텝(316)에서 설정된 방향(예를 들어, 우측)으로 전환하기 위한 제어신호를 발생하고, 제어부(120)로부터의 제어신호에 의해 좌륜 모터구동부(132)를 통해 좌륜(42)이 구동되므로써, 청소기본체(100)가 우측으로 방향전환된다(스텝 326).As a result of the check in the step 324, if the measured advance distance (the distance from a to b) is the horizontal size L1 of the set cleaning area 200, the control unit 120 moves in the direction of the cleaning main body 100. By generating a control signal for switching the direction to the direction (for example, the right side) set in step 316, the left wheel 42 is driven through the left wheel motor drive unit 132 by the control signal from the control unit 120 The cleaning body 100 is turned to the right (step 326).

그 다음, 제어부(120)로부터의 제어신호에 의해 좌륜 모터구동부(132)와 우륜 모터구동부(134)가 구동되어 좌륜(42)과 우륜(44)이 동시에 구동되므로써, 청소기본체(100)가 전진구동된다(스텝 328).Then, the left wheel motor driving unit 132 and the right wheel motor driving unit 134 are driven by the control signal from the control unit 120 so that the left wheel 42 and the right wheel 44 are driven simultaneously, so that the cleaning basic body 100 is advanced. It is driven (step 328).

한편, 청소기본체(100)의 전진구동 중에 제어부(120)는 좌륜 및 우륜 모터구동부(132, 134)의 구동시간을 체크함으로써 방향전환후의 전진거리를 측정하고, 측정된 방향전환후의 전진거리가 설정된 청소영역(200)의 세로크기(L2)인가를 체크한다(스텝 330).On the other hand, during the forward drive of the cleaning body 100, the control unit 120 measures the forward distance after the change of direction by checking the drive time of the left and right wheel motor drive unit (132, 134), the measured forward distance after the change of direction is set It is checked whether the cleaning area 200 is the vertical size L2 (step 330).

상기 스텝(330)에서의 체크결과, 측정된 방향전환후의 전진거리(b부터c까지)가 설정된 청소영역(200)의 세로크기(L2)이면, 제어부(120)는 청소기본체(100)의 진행방향을 스텝(316)에서 설정된 방향(우측)으로 전환하기 위한 제어신호를 발생하고, 제어부(120)로부터의 제어신호에 의해 좌륜 모터구동부(132)를 통해 좌륜(42)이 구동되므로써, 청소기본체(100)가 우측으로 방향전환된다(스텝 332).As a result of the check in step 330, if the measured advance distance (b to c) after the change of direction is the vertical size L2 of the set cleaning area 200, the controller 120 proceeds to the cleaning basic body 100. By generating a control signal for switching the direction to the direction (right) set in step 316, and driving the left wheel 42 through the left wheel motor drive unit 132 by the control signal from the control unit 120, the cleaning basic body 100 is turned to the right (step 332).

그 다음, 제어부(120)는 상기 스텝(314, 318)에서 설정된 청소영역(200) 내에서 설정된 청소경로에 따라 청소기본체(100)를 방향전환시켜 가면서 청소를 수행하기 위한 제어신호를 발생하고, 제어부(120)로부터의 제어신호에 의해 좌륜 모터구동부(132)와 우륜 모터구동부(134)를 통해 청소기본체(100)의 좌륜(42)과 우륜(44)이 선택적으로 구동되므로써, 청소기본체(100)의 방향이 설정된 도 4와 도 5에 도시된 바와 같은 청소경로에 따라 자동으로 방향전환되며 이동된다.Then, the control unit 120 generates a control signal for performing cleaning while turning the cleaning main body 100 in accordance with the cleaning path set in the cleaning area 200 set in the steps 314 and 318, By the control signal from the control unit 120, the left wheel 42 and the right wheel 44 of the cleaning main body 100 are selectively driven through the left wheel motor driving unit 132 and the right wheel motor driving unit 134, thereby cleaning the main body 100 ) Direction is automatically changed and moved according to the cleaning path as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

이때, 모터(43)의 구동에 의해 발생된 흡입력에 의해 바닥면에 있는 먼지 등의 이물질이 청소기본체(100)의 전면하부에 설치된 흡입구(51)를 통해 흡입되어 흡입통로(53)를 거친 다음, 집진팩(45)내에 집진되므로써 청소가 수행된다(스텝 334).At this time, foreign substances such as dust on the bottom surface are sucked through the suction port 51 installed in the front lower part of the cleaning main body 100 by the suction force generated by the driving of the motor 43, and then pass through the suction passage 53. Cleaning is performed by collecting dust in the dust collecting pack 45 (step 334).

상술한 바와 같이, 본 발명을 이용하면, 설정된 청소영역의 크기내에서 청소기본체가 설정된 청소경로를 따라 자동적으로 방향전환하며 이동되면서 청소를 수행하므로, 이용자의 이용편의를 도모할 수 있는 효과가 있다.As described above, by using the present invention, since the cleaning main body is automatically shifted and moved along the set cleaning path within the size of the set cleaning area, the cleaning can be carried out. .
