Abstract
A device for dryer vent includes a sensor node having a plurality of sensors, a base node that receives data transmission package from sensor node, a robotic device placed inside a robotic device housing. Base node on blockage detection communicates with the robotic device which is capable of autonomous traversal inside dryer vent to clean the dryer vent. A lint basket placed inside the robotic device housing is used by the robotic device to store lint removed from dryer vent during a cleaning cycle. A latch placed inside robotic device housing communicates with base node to allow the robotic device to enter or exit the robotic device housing during the cleaning cycle.
Claims6
A device for a dryer vent comprising:
- a sensor node having a plurality of sensors placed inside a sensor node housing, said sensor node housing placed at a exit of said dryer vent;
