Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a cleaner station and a method of controlling the same, the cleaner station including a housing, a coupling part disposed in the housing and configured such that at least a part of a dust bin of a cleaner is coupled to the coupling part, a dust collecting part, a dust collecting motor, and a rag management module mounted in the housing, disposed below a wet nozzle of the cleaner, and configured to wash a rag of the wet nozzle, in which the rag management module has at least one washing protrusion configured to come into contact with the rag when the dust bin is coupled to the housing, such that the rag management module may wash the rag.
Claims24
A cleaner station comprising:
- a housing;
- a coupling part disposed in the housing and configured such that at least a part of a dust bin of a cleaner is coupled to the coupling part;
- a dust collecting part accommodated in the housing, disposed at a lower side of the coupling part, and configured to capture dust in the dust bin;
- a dust collecting motor accommodated in the housing, disposed below the dust collecting part, and configured to generate a suction force for sucking dust in the dust bin;
- and
- a rag management module mounted in the housing, disposed below a wet nozzle of the cleaner, and configured to wash a rag of the wet nozzle,
- wherein the rag management module has at least one washing protrusion configured to come into contact with the rag when the dust bin is coupled to the housing.
A cleaner station including:
- a housing;
- a coupling part disposed in the housing and configured such that at least a part of a dust bin of a cleaner is coupled to the coupling part, the coupling part having a charging part configured to charge the cleaner;
- a dust collecting part accommodated in the housing, disposed at a lower side of the coupling part, and configured to capture dust in the dust bin;
- a dust collecting motor accommodated in the housing, disposed below the dust collecting part, and configured to generate a suction force for sucking dust in the dust bin;
- and
- a rag management module mounted in the housing, disposed below a wet nozzle of the cleaner, and configured to wash a rag of the wet nozzle,
- wherein the rag management module has an accommodation groove in which at least a part of the wet nozzle is accommodated and comes into contact with the rag.
A cleaner station including:
- a housing;
- a coupling part disposed in the housing and configured such that at least a part of a dust bin of a cleaner is coupled to the coupling part, the coupling part having a charging part configured to charge the cleaner;
- a dust collecting part accommodated in the housing, disposed at a lower side of the coupling part, and configured to capture dust in the dust bin;
- a dust collecting motor accommodated in the housing, disposed below the dust collecting part, and configured to generate a suction force for sucking dust in the dust bin;
- a control unit configured to control an operation of the dust collecting motor;
- and
- a rag management module mounted in the housing, disposed below a wet nozzle of the cleaner, and configured to wash a rag of the wet nozzle,
- wherein the control unit controls an operation of the wet nozzle to rotate the rag while controlling an operation of the rag management module when washing the rag.
A method of controlling a cleaner station, the method comprising:
- a standby mode step of coupling a cleaner and bringing a rag of the cleaner into contact with a rag management module;
- and
- a washing mode step of inputting a washing initiation signal to the rag management module, operating the rag management module to supply water to the rag of the cleaner, and operating a wet nozzle of the cleaner to rotate the rag.
