  • the body may have a protruding portion, which protrudes forward to define the cleaning robot receiving space therebelow.
  • the power terminal may be located at a lower surface of the protruding portion.
  • the invention provides a cleaner configured to perform manual cleaning while being moved by a user in an area to be cleaned, including: a body having a receiving space for receiving a cleaning robot that performs automatic cleaning, the body including a power terminal mounted at a surface of the body defining the receiving space to supply electric power to the cleaning robot when the cleaning robot is located in the receiving space.
  • the body may further include a protruding portion, which protrudes forward from an upper end of the body by a predetermined length to define the receiving space therebelow.
  • the power terminal may be located at a lower surface of the protruding portion.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view schematically showing the outer appearance of a cleaner and cleaning robot that returns to the cleaner for charging in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing the inner configuration of the cleaner and cleaning robot of FIG. 1.

  • the suction device 30 is used to vacuum and collect dust and loose debris, and includes a brush 31, a suction pipe 32, a dust collector 33, and a blower 34.
  • the drive device 40 enables self-traveling of the cleaning robot 10, and includes a driving wheel 41, a driven wheel 42, and a drive motor (not shown) to rotate the driving wheel 41.
  • the recognizer includes an obstacle detection sensor, a traveling distance detection sensor, and a camera, and serves to allow the cleaning robot 10 to perform efficient cleaning, traveling, and returning operations.
  • the rechargeable battery 60 has a charging terminal 61 protruding out of the robot body 20, such that it is charged by a commercial alternator when the cleaning robot 10 is connected to a cleaner 100 in accordance with the invention.
  • the battery charge level detector 70 is used to detect a charge level of the rechargeable battery 60 when the cleaning robot 10 returns to the cleaner 100. If the detected charge level reaches a preset lowest level, the detector 70 sends a charge request signal to the controller 50.
  • the cleaner 100 in accordance with the invention includes a body 110 in which a variety of elements are mounted, a suction piece 120 to vacuum dust and loose debris from the floor B, and a connection pipe 130 to connect the body 110 to the suction piece 120, to allow a suction force, generated by the body 110, to be transferred to the suction piece 120.
  • the connection pipe 130 includes a suction hose 131 and a suction pipe 132.
  • a handle 133 is interposed between the suction hose 131 and the suction pipe 132.
  • the handle 133 is provided with a variety of buttons to enable easy manipulation.
  • the suction hose 131 is a flexible wrinkled hose having a first end connected to the handle 133 and a second end connected to the body 110.
  • the suction pipe 132 has a first end connected to the suction piece 120 and a second end connected to the handle 133.
  • the body 110 contains a blowing device 111 to provide a suction force required to vacuum dust and loose debris during manual cleaning, and a dust collector 112 to store dust and debris vacuumed.
  • the dust collector 112 may be a dust envelope, or cyclone dust collector that is widely used.
  • the blowing device 111 includes a suction motor, and a fan to be rotated by the suction motor.
  • the cleaner 100 in accordance with the invention is designed to serve as a docking station for charging the rechargeable battery 60 mounted in the cleaning robot 10 that performs automatic cleaning. Accordingly, there is no need for a separate docking station for the cleaning robot 10 that performs automatic cleaning. This prevents an increase in the number of cleaning devices,.
  • the invention reduces costs and the space needed to store and operate the cleaning devices.
  • the body 110 of the robot cleaning system 100 in accordance with the invention is configured to have a space S, which is utilized to house the cleaning robot 10 when the cleaning robot 10 returns to the robot cleaning system 100 for the sake of charging.
  • the body 110 contains a charger 140 to charge the rechargeable battery 60 of the cleaning robot 10.
  • the body 110 may have an internal shape selected from among a variety of shapes suitable to receive the cleaning robot 10.

Then, if a signal for directing a cleaning operation is transmitted to the cleaning robot 10, the cleaning robot 10 acts to remove dust and loose debris from the floor while moving by itself in an area to be cleaned.
  • the battery charge level detector 70 of the cleaning robot 10 checks the rechargeable battery 60 periodically, so as to send a charge request signal to the controller 50 when the rechargeable battery 60 needs to be charged. If the charge request signal is transmitted to the controller 50, the controller 50 controls the drive device 40 to cause the cleaning robot 10 to return to the receiving space S of the cleaner 100.
  • the recognizer acts to collect a variety of information and to send the information to the controller 50, in order to guide the cleaning robot 10 to a predetermined position.
  • the charging terminal 61 of the cleaning robot 10 is connected to the power terminal 141 that is connected to an external power source via the power cord 150. Thereby, the external power source supplies electric power to charge the rechargeable battery 60 of the cleaning robot 10.
