[0024] The control device 300 further includes a charging mechanism (not shown). The charging mechanism charges the power source of the cleaning device 100. Specifically, the charging mechanism charges the rechargeable battery of the cleaning device 100 when cleaning is not being performed.
[0025] The control device 300 further includes a housing 30. The housing 30 has a collection port 30b and a disposal port 30c. When the cleaning device 100 is not performing cleaning, the collection port 30b and the discharge port 10a are connected to each other.
[0026] The control device 300 further includes a collection unit 34 and a separation unit 31. The collection unit 34 collects unnecessary matter from the suction unit 11. Specifically, the collection unit 34 sucks the unnecessary matter from a collection port 30b and stores it in the housing 30.
[0027] Next, the separation unit 31 will be described with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the separation unit 31 according to this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the separation unit 31 separates unwanted matter into hair and dust.
[0028] Separation unit 31 separates hair and dust by electrostatic capacitance. Specifically, separation unit 31 has air passage 31a, charged body 31b, first roller 31c, second roller 31d, charging device 31e, static eliminator 31f, and peeling brush 31g.
[0029] Air passage 31a flows from collection section 34 toward second collection section 33. The unwanted matter passes through air passage 31a. Charged body 31b moves between inside air passage 31a and outside air passage 31a by first roller 31c and second roller 31d. Charged body 31b in air passage 31a is charged by charging device 31e, and hair is captured from the unwanted matter. Charged body 31b outside air passage 31a is neutralized by neutralization device 31f, and the hair falls by peeling brush 31g. Meanwhile, dust in the unwanted matter passes through air passage 31a.
[0030] The control device 300 further includes a first collection unit 32, a second collection unit 33, a protection unit 35, and a storage unit 36. The second collection unit 33 collects dust from the separation unit 31. The second collection unit 33 is connected to a disposal outlet 30c. A person collects the dust from the disposal outlet 30c at a predetermined timing and disposes of it in a trash can or the like.
[0031] Next, the first collection section 32, the protection section 35, and the storage section 36 will be described with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the configurations of the first collection section 32, the protection section 35, and the storage section 36 according to this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3, the first collection section 32 collects hair from the separation section 31.
[0032] The first collection section 32 includes an adhesive body P and a support section 32a. The adhesive body P has a base and an adhesive layer disposed on the base. The adhesive layer is coated with, for example, an acrylic acid-based adhesive. The adhesive may contain an inhibitor of mite or parasite activity. The base is made of a material that inhibits hair drying.
[0033] The support part 32a movably supports the adhesive body P. The support part 32a has, for example, a roller. The roller sends out the adhesive body P. The adhesive layer is disposed on the upper surface of the base. As a result, the hair that has fallen from the collection part 34 is adsorbed to the adhesive layer.
[0034] The protection unit 35 protects the hair. The protection unit 35 includes a base body C and a pressure-bonding unit 35a. The base body C is sent toward the upper surface of the adhesive body P. The pressure-bonding unit 35a has, for example, a roller. The roller causes the base body C to adhere to the adhesive body P. As a result, the hair is disposed between the base body C and the adhesive body P.
[0035] The storage unit 36 stores the hair placed between the base body C and the adhesive body P. Specifically, the protection unit 35 has a roller. The roller takes up the base body C and the adhesive body P.
[0036] As described above with reference to Figs. 1 to 3, according to this embodiment, the separation unit 31 separates hair and dust, and the first collection unit 32 collects the hair from the separation unit 31, so that hair including health information can be obtained by cleaning the room. Furthermore, the cleaning device 100 moves around the room, so that hair can be obtained more reliably. And, the control unit 13 controls the cleaning device 100 so that the cleaning device 100 moves around the room at predetermined time intervals, so that hair can be obtained periodically. Furthermore, the adhesive body P has a base and an adhesive layer arranged on the base, so that hair can be easily stored.
[0037] (Modification) A modified example of the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of a cleaning system 2000 according to a modified example of the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 4, in the modified cleaning system 2000, the control device 300 further includes an identification information forming unit 37 and a material creating unit 38.
[0038] The operation unit 46 accepts the identification information. The identification information includes person information and date information. The person information includes information indicating the person's age and sex, or a customer management number. The date information includes information indicating the sealing date and time, or the operation date and time of the cleaning device 100.
[0039] The identification information forming section 37 cuts the base body C with the hair disposed therebetween and the adhesive body P, and prints the identification information on the lower surface of the base body C to prepare the document.
[0040] The document preparation unit 38 prepares mail containing the document prepared by the identification information formation unit 37. The mail has a destination address printed on it. The destination is, for example, an analysis institute.
[0041] The display unit of the operation unit 46 may display information indicating that the mail has been prepared. The information indicating that the mail has been prepared may also be a sound. The communication unit may then transmit the information indicating that the mail has been prepared to a portable device of a person residing in the room. Furthermore, the communication unit may communicate with an analysis agency via a network. The network may include, for example, the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), and a public telephone network.
