Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
Conventional vacuum cleaners perform cleaning operation by using vacuum pressure to suck foreign substances such as dust on the floor. A common vacuum cleaner is a person's own way of carrying a vacuum cleaner. In recent years, as information communication and battery technology have been developed, robot cleaners capable of operating unattended have been manufactured. Conventionally, the robot cleaner avoids an obstacle by itself and moves to a position where it can automatically charge itself. However, the robot cleaner operates by vacuuming and suctioning foreign substances on the floor like a general vacuum cleaner.
The conventional robot cleaner was able to clean only the bottom surface, and when there was foreign substance in the liquid state on the floor surface, the foreign substance in the liquid state could not be sucked, and the floor surface could not be cleaned cleanly.
Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem [8] The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-described problems, and provides a robot cleaner that can clean a wall while moving using an adsorption motor.
The present invention also provides a robot cleaner capable of cleaning not only by vacuum suction but also by using a rotating wet cloth.
Further, the present invention provides a robot cleaner capable of supplying a cleaning liquid to a wet cloth himself or dewatering a wet cloth.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a robot cleaner operating in a bottom surface cleaning mode or a wall surface cleaning mode, wherein the vacuum cleaner and the waterbroom cleaner are simultaneously performed in the bottom surface cleaning mode and the wall surface cleaning mode, A body portion configured to selectively perform; Wherein the plurality of legs move in a horizontal direction with respect to the bottom surface in the bottom surface cleaning mode, and the plurality of legs move in a wall surface cleaning mode using the attraction force of the suction motor The robot cleaner comprising:
The main body includes a vacuum suction unit for sucking foreign substances on the floor surface through a vacuum suction operation; A wet-cloth operation part for removing foreign matters from the floor while rotating the wet-cloth; A body moving part for rotating the wheel formed on the floor and moving the wheel in a predetermined moving direction and speed; And a main control unit for controlling operations of the vacuum suction unit, the water-cloth operation unit, the main body moving unit, and the leg unit.
The main body unit may further include a position detection sensor unit for detecting an obstacle, determining a movement path, and setting a position and a direction.
The main body unit may further include a data communication unit transmitting and receiving operation control data to and from an external terminal in a wireless communication manner.
The wet-cloth operation unit includes: a wipe-rotating unit for rotating the wet-cloth; A liquid spraying unit configured to spray a cleaning liquid to the wet cloth; And a liquid containing portion for storing the cleaning liquid moving to the outside by the centrifugal force when the wet cloth is rotated.
The leg portion including the plurality of legs attached to the body portion, each leg having a suction plate for bringing the legs into close contact with the bottom surface; And a suction motor for providing a sucking force to the sucker.
The robot cleaner according to the embodiment of the present invention not only can clean the floor while moving autonomously, but also can clean the wall while moving the wall using the suction motor. In addition, the robot cleaner according to the embodiment of the present invention can clean the floor and the wall by using not only the vacuum cleaner but also the rotating wet cloth. In addition, the robot cleaner according to the embodiment of the present invention can supply the cleaning liquid to the wet cloth themselves, or dehydrate the wet cloth.

For reference, an ultrasonic sensor is a sensor that detects distance or thickness using ultrasonic waves, and measures the distance between ultrasonic transmission time and reception time. In addition, infrared sensors are smaller in scope than ultrasonic sensors, but at a lower cost. Unlike ultrasound, the speed of infrared rays is very fast, so it is not easy to find the difference between transmission and reception times. Therefore, the infrared sensor calculates the distance by the photo-trigonometry which focuses and uses the angle of the corresponding focus. It is like the way two eyes of a person perceive a perspective.
The position
The gyro sensor senses the rotational inertia and provides an angle of rotation of the object within a unit time based on the uniaxial axis. The acceleration sensor can sense the acceleration of the moving object or the direction of the impact applied to the acceleration sensor. The acceleration sensor always detects the direction of gravity when there is no external impact, so it can be used as a tilt sensor
