ROBOT CLEANER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18200151 titled 'ROBOT CLEANER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a robot cleaner that consists of a motor, a rotating-shaft member, and a rotation member. The rotation member is coupled to the rotating-shaft member and includes a cleaning member coupling that can be detachably coupled to multiple cleaning members. The motor drives the rotating-shaft member to rotate, causing the rotation member to move in either a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction along the longitudinal direction of the rotating-shaft member. When the rotation member moves in the first direction with the cleaning member coupling detachably coupled to the cleaning members, at least one cleaning member becomes detached and released from the cleaning member coupling.

  • The robot cleaner has a motor, rotating-shaft member, and rotation member.
  • The rotation member can be detachably coupled to multiple cleaning members.
  • The motor drives the rotating-shaft member, causing the rotation member to move in a first or second direction.
  • When the rotation member moves in the first direction with the cleaning member coupling, at least one cleaning member becomes detached.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Household cleaning robots that can detach and replace cleaning attachments.
  • Industrial cleaning robots that can switch between different cleaning tools.
  • Autonomous floor cleaning robots that can adapt to different surfaces and cleaning requirements.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of changing cleaning attachments on a robot cleaner.
  • Allows for versatility in cleaning tasks by easily detaching and replacing cleaning members.
  • Reduces the need for manual intervention in the cleaning process.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased efficiency and effectiveness in cleaning tasks.
  • Improved adaptability to different cleaning requirements.
  • Time and labor savings by automating the cleaning process.


Original Abstract Submitted

A robot cleaner includes a motor, a rotating-shaft member, and a rotation member coupled to the rotating-shaft member and including a cleaning member coupling configured to be detachably coupled to a plurality of cleaning members. The motor, rotating-shaft member, and the rotation member are configured so that the motor is drivable to rotate the rotating-shaft member and thereby cause the rotation member to move in a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction, along a longitudinal direction of the rotating-shaft member. In a case that the rotation member moves in the first direction with the cleaning member coupling detachably coupled to the plurality of cleaning members, at least one cleaning member of the plurality of cleaning members becomes detached, and is thereby released, from the cleaning member coupling.
