ROBOT CLEANER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17918493 titled 'ROBOT CLEANER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a robot cleaner that has a main body with a suction portion, main wheels for movement, and a side brush assembly. The side brush assembly includes a housing, a first force transmitter, a belt, a second force transmitter, and a side brush.
- The robot cleaner has a suction portion for effective cleaning.
- The main wheels allow the robot cleaner to move around.
- The side brush assembly is attached to the main body and rotates with a perpendicular rotation shaft to the main wheels.
- The housing forms the exterior of the side brush assembly.
- The first force transmitter is located inside the housing and rotates when it receives a driving force.
- The belt connects the first force transmitter to the second force transmitter.
- The second force transmitter receives the rotational force from the first force transmitter.
- The side brush is coupled to the second force transmitter.
Potential Applications
- Household cleaning: The robot cleaner can be used to clean floors in homes, reducing the need for manual cleaning.
- Commercial cleaning: The robot cleaner can be utilized in commercial spaces such as offices, hotels, and restaurants to maintain cleanliness.
- Industrial cleaning: The robot cleaner can be employed in industrial settings to clean large areas efficiently.
Problems Solved
- Labor-intensive cleaning: The robot cleaner eliminates the need for manual cleaning, reducing the labor required for cleaning tasks.
- Inefficient cleaning: The side brush assembly ensures thorough cleaning by reaching areas that may be difficult to access with traditional cleaning methods.
Benefits
- Time-saving: The robot cleaner can clean autonomously, saving time and effort for users.
- Improved cleaning performance: The combination of the suction portion, main wheels, and side brush assembly allows for effective and efficient cleaning.
- Convenience: Users can set the robot cleaner to clean at specific times, providing convenience and flexibility in cleaning routines.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a robot cleaner including a main body including a suction portion disposed thereon, main wheels for moving the main body, and a side brush assembly disposed on the main body and rotating with a rotation shaft perpendicular to a rotation shaft of the main wheels, the side brush assembly includes a housing for forming an exterior of the side brush assembly, a first force transmitter disposed in the housing and rotating by receiving a driving force, a belt connected to the first force transmitter, a second force transmitter connected to the first force transmitter by the belt to receive a rotational force of the first force transmitter, and a side brush coupled to the second force transmitter.
