Abstract
Disclosed is a cleaner, including: a cleaning module configured to suck in outside air; a main body configured to provide a suction force to the cleaning module; and a steam assembly configured to spray steam, and after spraying steam is performed through the steam assembly, the cleaning module may stop spraying steam when it is determined that the cleaner stops in a position, and continue spraying steam when it is determined that the cleaner operates a cleaning operation at a low velocity, or an equal velocity.
Claims20
A cleaner, comprising:
- a cleaning module configured to suck in outside air;
- a main body configured to provide a suction force to the cleaning module;
- and
- a steam assembly configured to spray steam,
- wherein after spraying steam is performed through the steam assembly, the cleaning module stops spraying steam when it is determined that the cleaner stops in a position, and continues spraying steam when it is determined that the cleaner operates a cleaning operation at a low velocity, or an equal velocity.
A cleaner, comprising:
- a cleaning module configured to suck in outside air;
- a main body configured to provide a suction force to the cleaning module;
- and
- a steam assembly configured to spray steam,
- wherein after spraying steam is performed through the steam assembly, the main body stops spraying steam when it is determined that the cleaner stops in a position, and continues spraying steam when it is determined that the cleaner operates a cleaning operation at a low velocity, or an equal velocity.
A method for controlling a cleaner comprising:
- a cleaning module configured to suck in outside air;
- a main body configured to provide a suction force to the cleaning module;
- and a steam assembly configured to spray steam, comprising:
- allowing the cleaning module to collect sensing data from a first sensing unit and collect motor current data from a mop motor;
- allowing the cleaning module to calculate forward dynamics data based on the sensing data and calculate a motor current dispersion value based on the motor current data;
- allowing the cleaning module to determine whether the cleaner stops in a position based on a result of comparing the forward dynamics data and a prestored first reference value, and the forward dynamics data and a prestored second reference value;
- and
- allowing the cleaning module to stop spraying steam when it is determined that the cleaner stops in a position.
