Figure 5 is a bottom view showing the operation of the side brush assembly in a second embodiment of the automatic cleaner according to the present invention. For the same components as those of the first embodiment of the present invention described above among the components of the present embodiment, reference numerals of FIGS. 1 to 5 are used, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
Referring to FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, the
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. .
In the above-described embodiment, the start of the forward rotation and the reverse rotation of the first drive member are limited to the same time as the start and the stop of the operation of the suction means, respectively, but are not necessarily limited thereto. As another example, the rotation of the first driving member in the forward direction may be started after the operation of the suction means is started. The rotation of the first drive member in the reverse direction may also be stopped before the operation of the suction means is stopped.
In the above-described embodiment, the start and stop of the rotation of the second drive member is limited to the start of the rotation of the first drive member in the forward direction and the stop of the rotation in the reverse direction. However, as another example, the rotation of the second driving member may be started at the same time as the rotation of the first driving member in the forward direction. In another example, the rotation of the second driving member may be stopped at the same time as the start of the rotation of the first driving member in the reverse direction.
The operation of the first and second driving members may be performed in conjunction with the operation of the main driving member. For example, the start of rotation of the first drive member in the forward direction may be performed simultaneously with the start of the operation of the main drive member. In addition, the start of rotation of the first driving member in the reverse direction may be performed at the same time as the operation of the main driving member is stopped. In addition, the start and stop of the rotation of the second drive member may be performed simultaneously with the start and stop of the operation of the main drive member.
