Description

로봇 청소기의 충전장치{CHARGING APPARATUS OF ROBOT CLEANER}Charging device for robot cleaner {CHARGING APPARATUS OF ROBOT CLEANER}

본 발명은 로봇 청소기의 충전장치에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 청소기가 충전대에 안정적으로 결합된 상태에서 충전이 이루어질 수 있도록 한 로봇 청소기의 충전장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a charging device for a robot cleaner, and more particularly, to a charging device for a robot cleaner to enable charging in a state where the cleaner is stably coupled to a charging stand.

로봇 청소기(robot cleaner)는 제어부의 제어에 의해 청소기에 설치된 센서를 이용하여 청소영역과 장애물들을 감지하고, 그 청소영역을 주행하며 자동으로 청소를 하며, 기기의 내부에 구비되어 있는 배터리의 전원이 소진되면 소정위치에 별도로 마련되어 있는 충전대로 이동하여 충전을 하며, 충전을 마친 다음에는 다시 청소를 하던 본래의 위치로 복귀하여 청소를 하는 기기이다.The robot cleaner detects the cleaning area and obstacles by using the sensor installed in the cleaner under the control of the controller, runs the cleaning area and cleans automatically, and the power of the battery provided inside the device When it is exhausted, it moves to the charging station which is separately provided at a predetermined position and charges it. After the charging is completed, the device returns to the original position where the cleaning was performed again.

상기와 같은 종래의 로봇 청소기가 도 1에 도시되어 있는 바, 이를 간단히 설명하면 다음과 같다.The conventional robot cleaner as described above is shown in FIG. 1, which will be briefly described as follows.

이에 도시된 바와 같이, 종래의 로봇 청소기는 바닥의 먼지나 오물을 흡입하여 제거할 수 있도록 흡입헤드와 팬 모터 및 필터가 내부에 구비되어 있는 청소기 본체(1)와, 그 청소기 본체(1)의 하측에 설치되어 청소기가 주행할 수 있도록 구동되는 구동바퀴(2)와, 상기 청소기 본체(1)의 후면에는 돌출된 핀형태의 +단자(3a)와 -단자(3b)로된 청소기측 단자(3)가 설치되어 있다.As shown in the drawing, a conventional robot cleaner includes a cleaner main body 1 having a suction head, a fan motor, and a filter provided therein so as to suck and remove dust or dirt from the floor, and the cleaner main body 1 of the cleaner main body 1. A driving wheel 2 installed at a lower side and driven to drive the cleaner, and a rear side of the cleaner body 1 includes a cleaner terminal having protruding pin-shaped + terminal 3a and-terminal 3b ( 3) is installed.

그리고, 상기 청소기 본체(1)가 주행하는 청소영역의 일측 벽면(4)에는 상기 청소기 본체(1)의 내부에 설치된 배터리를 충전하기 위한 충전대(5)가 설치되어 있다.In addition, a charging stand 5 for charging a battery installed inside the cleaner main body 1 is installed at one wall surface 4 of the cleaning area in which the cleaner main body 1 travels.

상기 충전대(5)에는 충전시 상기 청소기측 단자(3)가 결합되어 전원이 공급될 수 있도록 음형지게 형성되며 +단자(6a)와 -단자(6b)로된 충전대측 단자(6)가 설치되어 있다.The charging stand 5 is negatively formed so that the cleaner side terminal 3 is coupled to be supplied with power during charging, and the charging terminal side terminal 6 including + terminal 6a and-terminal 6b is installed. have.

도면중 7은 발광소자이고, 7'는 수광소자이다.7 is a light emitting element, and 7 'is a light receiving element.

상기와 같이 구성되어 있는 종래의 로봇 청소기는 청소기 본체(1)가 청소영역을 패턴에 따라 주행하며 청소를 한다. 그리고, 그와 같이 청소를 하는 중에 배터리의 충전량을 제어부에서 감지하여 충전량이 소정레벨이 되면 제어부에서 복귀신호를 발생시켜서 청소기를 충전대(5)쪽으로 복귀시키게 된다.In the conventional robot cleaner configured as described above, the cleaner main body 1 cleans while driving the cleaning area according to a pattern. Then, during the cleaning, the controller detects the charge level of the battery, and when the charge level reaches a predetermined level, the control unit generates a return signal to return the cleaner to the charging table 5.

상기와 같이 충전대(5)쪽으로 복귀되는 청소기 본체(1)는 청소기측 단자(3)의 하측에 설치된 발광소자(7)에서 발광되는 신호를 상기 충전대(5)에 설치된 수광소자(7')에 수광하며 청소기측 단자(3)의 +단자(3a)와 -단자(3b)가 충전대(5)에 설치된 충전대측 단자(6)의 +단자(6a)와 -단자(6b)에 결합되도록 조정되어지게 된다.The cleaner main body 1 returned to the charging stand 5 as described above transmits a signal emitted from the light emitting element 7 provided below the cleaner side terminal 3 to the light receiving element 7 ′ provided to the charging stand 5. The light receiving terminal 3a and the negative terminal 3b of the cleaner terminal 3 are adjusted to be coupled to the positive terminal 6a and the negative terminal 6b of the charging terminal side terminal 6 installed on the charging stand 5, You lose.

그리고, 상기와 같이 청소기측 단자(3)가 충전대측 단자(6)에 결합된 상태에서 전원공급이 이루어져 배터리의 충전이 이루어지며, 그와 같이 충전이 이루어진 후에는 청소기 본체(1)는 청소를 멈춘 본래의 위치로 되돌아가서 패턴에 따라 계속 주행하며 청소를 하게 된다.Then, the battery is charged by supplying power in a state where the cleaner side terminal 3 is coupled to the charging side terminal 6 as described above, and after the charging is performed, the cleaner body 1 is cleaned. It will return to the original position where it stopped and continue cleaning according to the pattern.

그러나, 상기와 같은 종래 로봇 청소기는 청소기 본체(1)가 충전대(5)에 복귀되어 충전을 할 때에 단지 돌출된 핀형태로된 청소기측 단자(3)의 +단자(3a)와 -단자(3b)가 충전대측 단자(6)의 +단자(6a)와 -단자(6b)에 삽입되어진 상태에서 충전이 이루어지므로, 이와 같이 충전중에 어린이나 기타 사용자의 부주의로 인하여 청소기 본체(1)를 건드리는 경우에 결합상태가 쉽게 해체되어 정상적인 충전이 이루어지지 못하는 문제점이 있었다. However, in the conventional robot cleaner as described above, the positive terminal 3a and the negative terminal 3b of the cleaner side terminal 3, which are in the form of pins only protrude when the cleaner main body 1 returns to the charging stand 5 for charging. Since charging is performed while the terminals are inserted into the + terminal 6a and the-terminal 6b of the charging terminal side 6, the touch of the cleaner main body 1 due to carelessness of a child or other user during charging is thus performed. In this case, there is a problem that the normal state of charge cannot be achieved because the combined state is easily disassembled.

상기와 같은 문제점을 감안하여 안출한 본 발명의 목적은        The object of the present invention devised in view of the above problems is
