AUTONOMOUS-TRAVEL CLEANING ROBOT
First Claim
1. A self-propelled cleaning robot that self-travels on a structure to clean a flat surface of the structure, the structure being installed in an outdoor location, the self-propelled cleaning robot, comprising:
- a robot main body in which a self-propelled moving means is provided;
a cleaning unit that is provided in a front portion and/or a rear portion of the robot main body; and
a controller that controls activation of the moving means,wherein the controller includes an attitude controller that detects an attitude of the robot main body,the attitude controller includes a floating detection sensor that detects floating in one of the front portion and the rear portion of the robot main body, andwhen the floating detection sensor detects the floating in one of the front portion and the rear portion of the robot main body, the controller controls the activation of the moving means such that the cleaning unit passes through a place where the floating is detected after the floating is eliminated.

Abstract
Provided is an self-propelled cleaning robot that can efficiently clean a flat surface even if a step is formed. The self-propelled cleaning robot that self-travels on a structure to clean a flat surface of the structure, the structure being installed in an outdoor location, the robot includes: a robot main body (2) in which a self-propelled moving means(4) is provided; a cleaning unit (10) that is provided in a front portion and/or a rear portion of the robot main body (2); and a controller (30) that controls activation of the moving means (4). At this point, the controller (30) includes an attitude controller (35) that detects an attitude of the robot main body (2), the attitude controller (35) includes a floating detection sensor (36) that detects floating in one of the front portion and the rear portion of the robot main body (2), and, when the floating detection sensor (36) detects the floating in one of the front portion and the rear portion of the robot main body (2), the controller (30) controls the activation of the moving means (4) such that the cleaning unit (10) passes through a place where the floating is detected after the floating is eliminated.

4. A self-propelled cleaning robot that self-travels on a structure to clean a flat surface of the structure, the structure being installed in an outdoor location where an inclination angle of the flat surface changes with respect to a horizontal direction, the self-propelled cleaning robot, comprising:
-
a robot main body in which a self-propelled moving means is provided; a cleaning unit that is provided in a front portion and/or a rear portion of the robot main body; and a controller that controls activation of the moving means, wherein the controller activates the moving means such that the moving means travels on the flat surface when the inclination angle of the flat surface of the structure is less than a predetermined angle, and the controller activates the moving means such that the moving means stops the travel on the flat surface when the inclination angle of the flat surface of the structure is greater than or equal to the predetermined angle. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 8)
