TILT DETECTABLE AUTOMATICALLY-OPERATING CLEANER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A tilt detectable automatically-operating cleaner comprising:
- a tilt detecting unit detecting a tilting state of a main body of the cleaner;
a control unit calculating a tilting angle using a detected signal from the tilt detecting unit and determining if the main body tilts by comparing the tilting angle with a reference angle;
a driving unit stopping driving of the cleaner when it is determined by the control unit that the main body tilts; and
a suction unit controlling suction operation when it is determined by the control unit that the main body tilts.

6. A method of controlling a tilt detectable automatically-operating cleaner, comprising:
-
starting operation of the cleaner; detecting primarily a tilting angle of a main body of the cleaner; comparing the detected tilting angle with a reference angle; performing again the detection of the tilting angle when the detected tilting angle is less than the reference angle and stopping operation of the cleaner when the detected tilting angle is greater than the reference angle; and detecting secondly a tilting angle of the main body of the cleaner after the cleaner stops operating; comparing the secondly detected tilting angle with the reference angle; and maintaining a stopping state of the cleaner when the secondly detected tilting angle is greater than the reference angle and restarting the operation of the cleaner when the secondly detected tilting angle is less than the reference angle. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
