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 18152382 titled 'CLEANING DEVICE HAVING VACUUM CLEANER AND DOCKING STATION AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a cleaning device that includes a vacuum cleaner and a docking station. The docking station is designed to collect dust and other foreign substances from the vacuum cleaner's dust collecting container.
- The docking station has a suction device that moves air from the dust collecting container into the station.
- A collector in the docking station collects the foreign substances that are carried by the air.
- The docking station has a suction flow path that allows air to move inside it.
- A flow adjusting device in the docking station can open or close the suction flow path.
- The device is controlled by at least one processor that operates 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 of this technology:
- Household cleaning devices
- Industrial cleaning equipment
- Office cleaning tools
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient collection of dust and foreign substances from vacuum cleaners
- Preventing the release of collected dust and foreign substances back into the environment
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved cleaning performance
- Reduced maintenance and cleaning time
- Enhanced air quality by effectively capturing dust and foreign substances
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.
