Benefits of technology

[0011] The present invention has been conceived to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art, and an aspect of the present invention is to provide a robot vacuum cleaner having an advanced structure, that is capable of guiding contaminants found in a corner area surface to a suction port so as to collect the contaminants into the vacuum cleaner.

Problems solved by technology

However, conventional robot vacuum cleaners have the suction port only partially exposed underneath the main body, and therefore, the contaminants in a corner area are difficult to remove completely.

Abstract

A robot vacuum cleaner comprises a main body having a driving wheel, a suction port provided underneath the main body for drawing in contaminants on a surface to be cleaned, and a guide member disposed underneath the main body for guiding contaminants on the surface to be cleaned toward the suction port.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 2004-33371 filed on May 12, 2004, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates generally to a robot vacuum cleaner, and more specifically to a robot vacuum cleaner that is capable of more efficient collection of dust and contaminants from hard to access corners. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Generally, a robot vacuum cleaner draws in contaminants, such as dust from a surface to be cleaned, while automatically traveling an area without being manually guided by a user. [0006] These types of robot vacuum cleaners may detect an obstacle, such as furniture, appliances, a wall in the area to be cleaned, or the distance to the obstacle, by a distance sensor or a photographing unit, such ...
