Robot vacuum cleaner having microbe sensing function
First Claim
1. A robot cleaner comprising:
- a cleaner body which automatically travels in an area to be cleaned;
a suction unit which sucks dust in the area to be cleaned into a specific space included in the cleaner body;
a microbe contamination sensor which detects a microbe contamination in the area to be cleaned; and
a sterilizing unit which sterilizes a corresponding portion according to a microbe contamination measuring signal generated from the microbe contamination sensor.

Abstract
A robot vacuum cleaner having a microbe sensing function is provided. The robot vacuum cleaner includes: a cleaner body which automatically travels in an area to be cleaned; a suction unit which sucks dust in the area to be cleaned into a specific space included in the cleaner body; a microbe contamination sensor which detects a microbe contamination in the area to be cleaned; and a sterilizing unit which sterilizes a corresponding portion according to a microbe contamination measuring signal generated from the microbe contamination sensor. Accordingly, a robot vacuum cleaner directly measures a level of microbe contamination to perform a sterilizing operation according to the result obtained from measurement. As a result, the sterilizing operation is performed sufficiently in a severely contaminated area, the sterilizing operation is performed in a general manner in other areas, and thus a cleaning operation can be rapidly carried out. Therefore, efficiencies in the cleaning and sterilizing operations are improved.
