Problems solved by technology

However, in this case, the moving performance of the robot cleaner (or autonomous cleaner) is reduced because when the robot cleaner moves on soft floors (e.g., carpets, rugs, etc.), the belts of the caterpillars and the floor surface The contact area is reduced
Therefore, it is difficult to maintain the mobile performance of autonomous cleaners under the floor environment that changes every moment

Abstract

An autonomous cleaner includes a cleaner body; a cleaning module protruded from one side of the cleaner body, and having a castor; caterpillar units provided at both sides of the cleaner body, and positioned at a rear side of the cleaning module, wherein the caterpillar unit includes: a driving module; a driving wheel mounted to the driving module, and formed to be rotatable by receiving a drivingforce from the driving module; a driven wheel mounted to the driving module, and disposed at a rear side of the driving wheel; and a belt formed to entirely enclose the driving wheel and the driven wheel as a closed loop, and configured to rotate the driven wheel when the driving wheel is rotated. The cleaner body is supported on a floor surface by the castor and the driven wheel, or is supportedon a floor surface by the driving wheel and the driven wheel.

Description

technical field [0001] This description relates to an autonomous cleaner with a crawler unit for moving the cleaner body. Background technique [0002] A cleaner is a device used to perform a cleaning function by suctioning dust or foreign objects or by mopping and sweeping. Typically, the cleaner performs a cleaning function relative to the floor and includes wheels for movement. Generally, the wheels move by external force applied to the cleaner body, and are configured to move the cleaner body on the floor. [0003] However, recently, autonomous cleaners such as robot cleaners, which perform cleaning functions while autonomously moving without manipulation by the user; The nozzle of the cleaner moves autonomously. [0004] Such autonomous cleaners are generally provided with driving wheels that rotate by receiving driving force from a driving motor. More recently, however, belt-driven tracks have been introduced instead of drive wheels. This is because, compared to d...
