VACUUM CLEANER AND CONTROL METHOD FOR THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18205851 titled 'VACUUM CLEANER AND CONTROL METHOD FOR THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a vacuum cleaner that includes a main body, a suction motor, an extension pipe, a suction head, a brush, a brush motor, a pressure sensor, a memory, a learning model, and a controller. The vacuum cleaner is designed to determine the type of surface to be cleaned and adjust the suction pressure accordingly.

• The vacuum cleaner has a main body with a suction motor and an extension pipe.
• The suction head is connected to the suction motor through the extension pipe and has a suction port for sucking foreign substances.
• Inside the suction head, there is a brush that is rotated by a brush motor.
• A pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure of air flowing through the suction port.
• A memory is used to store reference data that helps identify the type of surface to be cleaned.
• A learning model is used to update the reference data stored in the memory.
• The controller determines the suction pressure based on the detected pressure and atmospheric pressure.
• The controller also identifies the type of surface using the determined suction pressure, the load of the brush motor, and the stored reference data.
• The stored reference data is updated based on a predetermined update condition.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Household vacuum cleaners
• Industrial vacuum cleaners
• Commercial cleaning equipment

Problems solved by this technology:

• Inefficient cleaning due to using the same suction pressure for different types of surfaces
• Damage to delicate surfaces due to excessive suction pressure
• Ineffective cleaning of heavily soiled surfaces due to insufficient suction pressure

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved cleaning performance by adjusting suction pressure based on the type of surface
• Protection of delicate surfaces by avoiding excessive suction pressure
• Efficient cleaning of heavily soiled surfaces by providing sufficient suction pressure

Original Abstract Submitted

A vacuum cleaner includes a main body, a suction motor in the main body, an extension pipe, a suction head, connected to the suction motor through an extension pipe and including a suction port through which the foreign substances are sucked, a brush inside the suction head, a brush motor configured to rotate the brush, a pressure sensor configured to detect a pressure of air flowing through the suction port, a memory configured to store reference data used to identify the type of surface to be cleaned and a learning model to update the reference data, and a controller configured to determine a suction pressure based on the detected pressure and an atmospheric pressure, and identify the type of surface using the determined suction pressure, a load of the brush motor, and the stored reference data, and to update the stored reference data based on a predetermined update condition.
