Autononmous cleaner

a cleaner and autonomous technology, applied in the field of autonomous cleaners, can solve the problems of complicated removal and fitting of dust containers in the cleaner body, limited space for the different components, and limited space within the cleaner body, so as to reduce the overall size of the battery pack, facilitate installation, and increase the volume of the dust container.

[0047]As described in the summary of the invention, the dust compartment volume is defined as the volume within the dust container usable for particles, debris and dust and the volume of the cleaner body the volume within the cleaner body with the volume of the dust container included in the cleaner body volume.

[0048]For the autonomous cleaner illustrated in the appended figures the following numbers have been determined:

Cleaner body volume 5.15 Liters

Dust compartment volume 0.7 Liters

Ratio =Dust compartment volume / Cleaner body volume =0.7 / 5.15 =0.136

[0049]The dust compartment volume as well as the cleaner body volume will however change if the design of the autonomous cleaner is modified but in order to ensure that the desired extended time period between the required emptying of the dust container and the limited overall size of the autonomous cleaner the ration between the dust compartment volume and the cleaner body volume should be within the range 0.1 to 0.2.

Abstract

An autonomous cleaner having: a cleaner body in which a cavity is defined; and a dust container removably fitted in the cavity, the dust container having an air and debris inlet, and an air outlet for admitting an air flow through the dust container. The dust container has a dust compartment for the debris, and the ratio between the dust compartment volume and the cleaner body volume is within the range 0.1 to 0.2.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an autonomous cleaner.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In order to facilitate the work related to vacuum cleaning of floor areas in different types of building structures, autonomous vacuum cleaners have been available on the market for some time. These autonomous cleaners automatically move in different directions over the floor to clean the floor area without human involvement. The cleaner is either moving randomly or according to a predetermined pattern over the floor until a navigation system detects an obstacle or the cleaner hit some obstacle and turn. Consequently, the size and design of the cleaner is important factors to ensure that the cleaner is able to access as large area as possible of the floor since a cleaner with a limited height and width will be able to access areas under and around furniture, or in close corners more easily.[0003]Autonomous cleaners have a cleaner body which comprises the different comp...
