Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a robot cleaner, in which a dust discharge port is formed in a dust separating part of the robot cleaner, and a discharge cover is provided to open or close the dust discharge port, such that fine dust remaining after a cyclone flow may be collected, and the robot cleaner is coupled to a cleaner station, such that dust and fine dust remaining in a dust bin of the robot cleaner may be automatically removed.
Claims15
A robot cleaner comprising:
- a body having therein a space in which a battery and a suction motor are accommodated and having a suction port;
- a dust bin coupled to the body and configured to store dust introduced through the suction port;
- and
- a dust separating part disposed in an internal space of the dust bin and configured to separate dust from air introduced through the suction port,
- wherein the dust bin comprises:
- a dust bin main body having a first dust discharge port;
- and
- a first discharge cover coupled to the dust bin main body and configured to open or close the first dust discharge port, and
- wherein the dust separating part comprises:
- a cyclone part configured to separate dust from air by means of a cyclone flow;
- a dust capturing part disposed below the cyclone part based on a gravitational direction, configured to capture the dust separated by the cyclone part, and having a second dust discharge port;
- and
- a second discharge cover disposed on the dust capturing part and configured to open or close the dust capturing part.

A cleaner system comprising:
- a robot cleaner comprising a wheel, a battery, and at least one motor and configured to suck dust-containing air through a suction port and store the sucked dust in a dust bin;
- and
- a robot cleaner station comprising a coupling part to which the robot cleaner is coupled, a flow path part configured to communicate with an internal space of the dust bin, a dust collecting part configured to capture dust present in the dust bin, and a dust collecting motor configured to generate a suction force for sucking the dust present in the dust bin into the dust collecting part,
- wherein the dust bin comprises:
- a dust bin main body having a first dust discharge port formed in an outer peripheral surface thereof;
- and
- a first discharge cover coupled to the dust bin main body and configured to open or close the first dust discharge port, and
- wherein the coupling part comprises:
- a bottom plate coupled to an upper side of the robot cleaner;
- a dust bin accommodation surface formed in a direction intersecting a ground surface so as to face the dust bin;
- and
- a dust collecting hole formed in the dust bin accommodation surface, configured to communicate with the flow path part, and configured to communicate with the internal space of the dust bin when the first discharge cover is opened.
