CLEANING DEVICE HAVING VACUUM CLEANER AND DOCKING STATION AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18081081 titled 'CLEANING DEVICE HAVING VACUUM CLEANER AND DOCKING STATION AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a cleaning device that includes a vacuum cleaner with a dust collecting container and a docking station. The docking station has a suction device to move air from the dust collecting container into the station, a collector to collect foreign substances carried by the air, a suction flow path for the air, and a flow adjusting device to control the opening and closing of the suction flow path. The device is controlled by a processor to operate the suction device when the dust collecting container is coupled to the docking station and to periodically open and close the suction flow path.
- The cleaning device includes a vacuum cleaner with a dust collecting container and a docking station.
- The docking station has a suction device to move air from the dust collecting container into the station.
- A collector in the docking station collects foreign substances carried by the air.
- The docking station has a suction flow path for the air.
- A flow adjusting device in the docking station controls the opening and closing of the suction flow path.
- The device is controlled by a processor to operate the suction device when the dust collecting container is coupled to the docking station.
- The processor also periodically opens and closes the suction flow path while the suction device is operating.
Potential Applications
- Household cleaning devices
- Commercial cleaning devices
- Industrial cleaning devices
Problems Solved

- Simplified docking and operation of the cleaning device
- Improved control of air flow during cleaning process
Benefits
- Enhanced cleaning performance and efficiency
- Reduced maintenance and cleaning time
- Improved air quality during cleaning process
Original Abstract Submitted
A cleaning device and a method therefor are provided. The cleaning device includes a vacuum cleaner including a dust collecting container and a docking station to which the dust collecting container is coupled. The docking station includes a suction device configured to move air from the dust collecting container to inside of the docking station, a collector configured to collect a foreign substance that is moved together with the air by driving of the suction device, a suction flow path along which air moves inside the docking station, a flow adjusting device configured to open or close the suction flow path, and at least one processor configured to control the suction device to operate based on the dust collecting container being coupled to the docking station, and control the flow adjusting device to periodically open and close the suction flow path in a state in which the suction device operates.
