Air purifying robot and operation method thereof
First Claim
1. An air purifying robot comprising:
- a main body casing having a certain space therein, and provided with a suction hole for sucking ambient air and a discharge hole for discharging the purified air;
a fan motor installed in the main body casing, and rotating so as to suck the ambient air of the main body casing through the suction hole;
a dust collecting filter for filtering pollutants contained in the ambient air having been sucked through the suction hole;
main wheels installed at a lower surface of the main body casing at a certain interval therebetween, and driven by the motor;
an auxiliary wheel installed so as to maintain a horizontal state of the main casing, and moving the air purifying robot together with the main wheels; and
a control unit for controlling the fan motor, the dust collecting filter and the main wheels.
