Abstract: Provided is a method, performed by a cordless vacuum cleaner, of automatically adjusting the strength of a suction power of a suction motor. More specifically, the method may include obtaining data about a flow path pressure measured by a pressure sensor, obtaining data related to a load of the brush apparatus through a load detection sensor, identifying a current usage environment state of the brush apparatus by applying the data related to the flow path pressure and the data related to the load of the brush apparatus to an AI model stored in a memory of the cordless vacuum cleaner, and adjusting the strength of the suction power of the suction motor, based on the identified current usage environment state of the brush apparatus.

Abstract: A cleaning apparatus may include a vacuum cleaner with a dust collecting chamber; and a dust collecting station that is connectable to the vacuum cleaner through a seating portion with an opening in the front of the dust collecting station so. A controller is configured to, when the dust collecting chamber is seated on the seating portion, control a driving device to open the dust collecting chamber so that the opening of the seating portion communicates with the dust collecting chamber opening, and control a suction device to suction foreign substances in the dust collecting chamber through the dust collecting chamber opening, and the opening of the seating portion, and into a dust bag in the dust collecting station. A panel at the front of the dust collecting station may be opened to provide an opening at the front of the dust collecting station through which the dust bag is withdrawable.
