Abstract:
The present invention provides a cleaning unit, comprising: a columnar body part having a rotation guide opening formed on the outer circumferential surface thereof; a shaft installed to reciprocate a predetermined distance in the longitudinal direction thereof in a hollow formed in the body part; a drive part that protrudes from the shaft in the radial direction thereof; a brush part that has one side installed on the outer circumferential surface of the body part along the longitudinal direction thereof and rotates on the basis of the one side as a rotation axis; and a driven part that extends from the brush part toward the drive part, passes through the rotation guide opening, and is inserted into a rotation guide groove formed in the drive part. The rotation guide groove extends at a predetermined angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the shaft, and as the shaft reciprocates, the driven part is guided to rotate by means of the rotation guide groove, and the brush is rotated by means of the rotation of the driven part. The cleaning unit may include a robot cleaner or a cleaner operated by means of a user's operation.
Abstract:
A cleaner includes a dust separation unit which separates dust from sucked air; a dust container which stores the dust separated by the dust separation unit; a first suction port through which an external air is sucked into the dust separation unit; a second suction port through which the external air is sucked into the dust separation unit; a discharge port through which air inside the dust separation unit is discharged; and a flow path blocking member which selectively covers the first suction port and the second suction port.
Abstract:
A robot cleaner includes a main body, and a wheel unit including a wheel configured to movably support the main body. The wheel unit is installed in a suspension unit and configured to be movable upward or downward. The suspension unit is configured to absorb impact when the wheel unit moves upward or downward, and is installed in a lifting unit coupled to the main body. The suspension unit is configured to be raised or lowered relative to the lifting unit. The lifting unit includes a lifting drive motor including a rotatable shaft disposed in parallel with a direction in which the suspension unit is configured to be raised or lowered, and a transmission unit configured to transmit a rotation force of the lifting drive motor to the suspension unit.
Abstract:
A cleaner includes a cleaner body; a dust container which is accommodated in the cleaner body; a sensing module which detects information around the cleaner body and is mounted in the cleaner body rotatably about a rotating shaft that intersects a horizontal direction; and a driving module which rotates the sensing module in place relatively to the cleaner body.
Abstract:
A clothes treating apparatus includes a filter insertion detecting device that detects whether a filter has been inserted in the clothes treating apparatus. The filter insertion detecting device, which is installed in a clothes drying machine or the like, may be moved in response to insertion of a filter assembly to generate a contact signal that indicates insertion of the filter assembly.
Abstract:
A laundry machine is disclosed. The laundry machine is provided with a discharge part arranged in a drum not only to cause movement of the laundry in the drum but also to directly supply, to the laundry, the air supplied to the drum through an air supply unit when the drum rotates.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a dryer includes putting a brush driving unit into operation, after putting the brush driving unit into operation, gathering information related to the operation of the brush driving unit, and controlling operation of the dryer based on the gathered information related to the operation of the brush driving unit. The brush driving unit being is configured to drive a brush that separates foreign matter from a filter portion of a filter assembly positioned to contact air that has exited from a drum of the dryer.
Abstract:
A dryer includes a cabinet, a drum rotatably provided in the cabinet, a duct that defines a flow passage for air exiting the drum, and a filter assembly located at a position relative to the flow passage and contacting air that has exited the drum. The filter assembly includes a case defining the filter assembly, a filter portion configured to filter foreign substance from the air contacting the filter assembly, a brush frame configured for rotational movement relative to the case about a rotational axis, and a brush that is supported by the brush frame and configured to separate the foreign substance from the filter portion. A first distance from a first side of the case to the rotational axis of the brush frame is longer than a second distance from a second side of the case to the rotational axis of the brush frame.
