ROBOT CLEANER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18200911 titled 'ROBOT CLEANER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a robot cleaner that has a rotation motor and a rotation member with a first surface, a second surface, and an opening. There is also a floorcloth coupling member with a floorcloth attaching unit that can be inserted into the opening to detachably couple the floorcloth to the robot cleaner.
- The robot cleaner has a rotation motor that drives a rotation member.
- The rotation member has a first surface, a second surface, and an opening.
- The floorcloth coupling member is disposed on the second surface of the rotation member.
- The floorcloth coupling member has a floorcloth attaching unit that can be inserted into the opening.
- The floorcloth attaching unit can detachably couple the floorcloth to the robot cleaner.
- When the floorcloth attaching unit is inserted and coupled to the floorcloth, the rotation member rotates in a first state.
- In the first state, the floorcloth attaching unit remains coupled to the floorcloth.
- When the rotation member rotates in a second state, the floorcloth attaching unit exits the opening.
- In the second state, the floorcloth becomes detached from the floorcloth attaching unit.
Potential Applications:
- Household cleaning robots
- Commercial cleaning robots
- Industrial cleaning robots
Problems Solved:
- Simplifies the process of attaching and detaching floorcloths to the robot cleaner
- Provides a secure and reliable attachment mechanism for floorcloths
Benefits:
- Easy and convenient attachment and detachment of floorcloths
- Ensures proper cleaning performance by securely attaching the floorcloth
- Reduces the time and effort required for maintenance and cleaning of the robot cleaner
Original Abstract Submitted
A robot cleaner includes a rotation motor; a rotation member that is rotatable by driving of the rotation motor having a first surface, a second surface, and an opening through the rotation member and penetrating the first surface and the second surface; and a floorcloth coupling member disposed on the second surface and having a floorcloth attaching unit insertable into the opening to be detachably coupled to a floorcloth in contact with the first surface. The rotation member and the floorcloth coupling member are configured so that, when the floorcloth attaching unit is inserted into the opening and detachably coupled to the floorcloth, the rotation member rotates in a first state, the floorcloth attaching unit remains coupled to the floorcloth. When the rotation member rotates in a second state, the floorcloth attaching unit exits the opening so that the floorcloth becomes detached from the floorcloth attaching unit.
