Abstract
Disclosed is a rechargeable traveling system which enables a self-propelled machine to be charged properly without fail. Since a charging terminal, located on the back of the body of a self-propelled cleaner, is horizontally wider than a feeding terminal of a battery charger, even if the cleaner comes close to the feeding terminal somewhat horizontally out of alignment with the center of the battery charger, the charging terminal and the feeding terminal are connected properly without fail and thus charging is carried out properly without fail.
Claims18
A self-propelled cleaner rechargeable traveling system comprising:
- a self-propelled cleaner having a body with a cleaning mechanism, a drive mechanism for steering and driving, and a charging terminal for charging;
- and
- a battery charger provided with a feeding terminal to be connected with the charging terminal,
- wherein the charging terminal of the self-propelled cleaner is horizontally wider than the feeding terminal of the battery charger;
