본 고안은 청소기의 몸체부에 탑재되어 자동으로 청소기의 주행 거리 및 인체의 감지 기능을 수행하는 자동 주행 청소기의 초음파 레이더 장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an ultrasonic radar device of an automatic traveling cleaner mounted on a body of a cleaner to automatically detect a driving distance and a human body.

종래에 사용되었던 초음파 레이더 장치는 첨부도면 제4도 및 제5도에 도시된 바와같은 형태로서, 청소기의 제반 기능을 갖는 몸체부(1)의 상부측으로 초음파센서 송신부(11)과 수신부(12)가 각각 90도 각도를 갖고서 동서남북 방향으로 설치된 지지봉(13)으로서 구성되어 있었다.Ultrasonic radar apparatus used in the prior art as shown in Figures 4 and 5 of the accompanying drawings, the ultrasonic sensor transmitter 11 and the receiver 12 to the upper side of the body portion 1 having the overall function of the vacuum cleaner Were each constituted as support rods 13 installed in east, west, north, and south directions at an angle of 90 degrees.

이와같이 구성된 종래장치는 청소기의 자동주행시, 초음파센서 송신부(11)로 부터 각 방향으로 초음파를 발산하고, 발산된 초음파가 어떤 물체에 부딪쳐 되돌아오는 상태를 송신부 하방인 초음파센서 수신부(12)를 통하여 받아, 각 방향에서 되돌아오는 초음파의 반사시간을 분석하여 줌에 따라 청소기 몸체부(1)로부터 물체와의 거리를 인식하면서 청소기의 자동주행이 이루어지도록 되어 있었다.The conventional apparatus configured as described above emits ultrasonic waves in each direction from the ultrasonic sensor transmitter 11 during automatic driving of the cleaner, and receives the state that the emitted ultrasonic wave hits an object through the ultrasonic sensor receiver 12 below the transmitter. In addition, by analyzing the reflection time of the ultrasonic waves returning from each direction, the cleaner was automatically driven while recognizing the distance to the object from the cleaner body 1.

그러나, 이와같은 종래장치는 먼저 초음파센서 송신부와 수신부가 항상 지지봉을 통하여 외부로 돌출되어 있기때문에 청소기의 보관 및 이동에 어려움이 수반되었고, 센서부가 자주 파손을 당하게 되는 문제점이 있었다.However, in the conventional apparatus, since the ultrasonic sensor transmitter and the receiver are always protruded through the supporting rods, the cleaning and storage of the cleaner are difficult, and the sensor is frequently damaged.

또한, 초음파센서가 네방향만을 가르키도록 고정되어 있기때문에 각 센서부들 사이의 방향에 대해서는 충분하게 물체를 감지할 수 없는 단점도 있었다.In addition, since the ultrasonic sensor is fixed to point only in four directions, there is a disadvantage in that the object cannot be sufficiently detected in the direction between the respective sensor units.

이밖에도, 종래장치는 초음파센서가 모든것을 단순하게 물체로서만 인식을 하기 때문에, 예를들면 사람이 존재하는 경우에도 이를 물체로 밖에 인식을 하지 못하였다.In addition, in the conventional apparatus, since the ultrasonic sensor recognizes everything simply as an object, for example, even if a person is present, only the object is recognized.

본 고안은 상기한 바와같은 종래의 여려가지 상태를 감안하여 안출한 것으로서, 초음파 감지 장치를 청소기의 불사용시에는 몸체로 수납이 가능하도록 개선해줌과 동시에 360도의 감지기능을 갖도록 하고, 초음파센서에 인체감지 센서를 추가하여 청소기의 기능이외에도 이를 이용하여 심야 또는 사람이 없는 것의 방법기능을 수행할 수 있도록 한것이다.The present invention has been devised in view of various conventional conditions as described above, and improves the ultrasonic sensing device to be stored in a body when the cleaner is not in use, and at the same time has a 360-degree sensing function, the ultrasonic sensor to the human body In addition to the function of the vacuum cleaner by adding a sensor to be able to perform the method of the night or the personless way.

상기한 바와같은 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 고안의 형태에 따르면, 청소기의 상부 몸체부에 개폐되는 수납커버와, 상기 수납커버로 설치되어 인체 및 물체를 감지하는 센서부와, 상기 수납커버를 회전시켜주는 구동부로 구성된 것이다.According to an aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, a storage cover which is opened and closed on the upper body portion of the cleaner, a sensor unit installed by the storage cover to detect a human body and an object, by rotating the storage cover The main consists of a drive unit.

이와같이 구성된 본 고안을 첨부 도면과 함께 더욱 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.The present invention configured as described above will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

제1도는 본 고안이 설치된 청소기의 전체적인 형상을 나타낸 측면도로서, 청소기의 몸체부(1) 상부측으로는 수납커버(2)가 개폐가능하게 설치되어 있다.1 is a side view showing the overall shape of the cleaner in which the present invention is installed, and the storage cover 2 is provided to be opened and closed at an upper side of the body part 1 of the cleaner.

이 수납커버(2)는 개폐가 가능하기 때문에 청소기를 사용하지 않는 경우에는 이를 폐쇄하여 이동 및 보관이 용이해진다.Since the storage cover 2 can be opened and closed, it is easy to move and store it by closing it when the cleaner is not used.

이때, 전술한 수납커버(2)는 수동으로 개폐가 가능하고 자동으로도 개폐를 실시하도록 해주는 것이 가능하다.At this time, the above-mentioned storage cover (2) can be opened and closed manually and can be opened and closed automatically.

제2도 및 제3도는 수납커버(2)에 설치된 본 고안의 센서부를 나타낸 정면도 및 측면도 이다.2 and 3 are a front view and a side view showing the sensor unit of the present invention installed on the storage cover (2).

수납커버(2)에는 인체를 감지하는 인체감지센서(3)와 물체를 감지하는 센서로서 초음파센서 송신부(4) 및 초음파센서 수신부(5)가 각각 설치된다.The receiving cover 2 is provided with an ultrasonic sensor transmitter 4 and an ultrasonic sensor receiver 5 as a sensor for detecting a human body 3 and an object for detecting a human body, respectively.

이와같은 센서부를 갖는 수납커버(2)는 청소기의 몸체부(1)에 회전가능하게 설치되는데, 수납커버(2)의 회전은 수납커버(2)를 몸체부(1)로 회전 가능하게 연결해주는 모터(6)에 의하여 이루어지게 된다.The storage cover 2 having such a sensor portion is rotatably installed in the body portion 1 of the cleaner, and the rotation of the storage cover 2 allows the storage cover 2 to be rotatably connected to the body portion 1. It is made by the motor (6).

따라서, 모터(6)를 통해 계속적으로 수납커버(2)를 360도 회전 시켜주면서, 수납커버(2)에 설치되어있는 인체감지센선(3)와 물체감지센서 기능을 갖는 초음파센서부를 통하여 인체 및 물체의 유목상태와 어느 거리에 위치하는 가를 감지해주게 된다.Accordingly, while continuously rotating the storage cover 2 by 360 degrees through the motor 6, the human body and the body through the ultrasonic sensor unit having a human body sensing line 3 and the object sensor installed in the storage cover (2). It detects the distance to the nomadic state of the object.

또한, 수납커버(2)는 제 3도와 같이, 수납커버(2)의 힌지역활을 수행하는 지지봉(7)의 일측으로 고정된 기어(8)와 스텝모터(9)를 갖는 기어(10)을 상호 맞물리도록 하여, 스텝모터(9)를 회전시켜줌에 따라 기어간의 운동전달에 의하여 자동으로 수납커버(2)를 개폐시켜주도록 하는 것이 가능한것이다.In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the storage cover 2 includes a gear 10 having a gear 8 and a step motor 9 fixed to one side of the support rod 7 performing the hinge area of the storage cover 2. By interlocking with each other, it is possible to automatically open and close the housing cover 2 by the movement of the gears as the step motor 9 is rotated.

따라서, 수납커버(2)가 청소기의 몸체부(1)로 수납된 상태에서, 먼저 스텝모터(9)를 작동시켜 수납커버(2)를 개방시켜주고, 이 상태에서 모터(6)를 가동하여 수납커버(2)를 360도 회전시켜주면서 거리와 인체의 유무, 물체의 유무상태를 감지하면서 청소기의 자동 주행을 실시해주는 것이다.Therefore, in the state in which the storage cover 2 is stored in the body portion 1 of the cleaner, first operating the step motor 9 to open the storage cover 2, and in this state to operate the motor 6 By rotating the storage cover 2 by 360 degrees while detecting the distance and the presence of the human body, the presence or absence of the object is to perform the automatic running of the cleaner.

본 고안에 있어서, 수납커버(2)에 인체감지센서(3)를 설치한것도 청소기의 본래 기능인 청소기의 역활이외에, 야간이나 사람이 없는 곳에서 본 고안의 청소기를 가동시켜 사람의 존재유무를 파악하도록 함에따라 심야의 방범기능을 수행하도록 하기 위한것이다.In the present invention, in addition to the role of the vacuum cleaner, which is the original function of the vacuum cleaner, the installation of the human body detecting sensor 3 in the storage cover 2 is also performed to operate the vacuum cleaner of the present invention at night or in a place where no person is present to determine the presence of a person. It is intended to perform the night-time security function.

이때, 인체감지센선(3)는 수동형의 적외선 센서로서 인체에서 발생하는 적외선을 감지하여 사람의 유무 상태를 감지하도록 하였다.At this time, the human body sensing line 3 is a passive infrared sensor to detect the presence of a person by detecting the infrared rays generated by the human body.

모든 활동이 끝난, 본 고안의 레이더 장치를 청소기의 본체부로 다시 폐쇄하고자 하는 경우에는 상기 과정의 역방향으로 스텝모터(9)를 구동하여 수납커버(2)를 청소기의 몸체부(1)로 닫아주면 된다.When all the activities are finished, if you want to close the radar device of the present invention to the main body of the cleaner again by driving the step motor (9) in the reverse direction of the process to close the storage cover (2) with the body of the cleaner (1) do.

이와같이 본 고안은 청소기의 자동주행 장치를 위한 센서부를 청소기의 몸체부로 개폐가능하게 설치하여 장치의 파손을 방지함과 동시에 청소기의 보관이나 이동을 용이하도록 하였다.In this way, the present invention was installed to open and close the sensor unit for the automatic driving device of the cleaner to the body of the cleaner to prevent damage to the device and at the same time to facilitate the storage or movement of the cleaner.

또한 감지센서가 360도를 계속적으로 회전하면서 감지 기능을 수행하게 되므로 감식능력을 향상시켜 주게되고, 인체 감지 센서기능의 추가에 의하여 청소기 이외에도 방법기능을 복합적으로 수행할 수 있게 되는 효과를 갖는다.In addition, since the sensor performs a sensing function while rotating the 360 degrees continuously, it improves the cognitive ability, and the addition of the human body sensor has the effect of being able to perform the method function in addition to the cleaner.
