Automatic cleaner
First Claim
1. An automatic cleaner comprising:
- a casing comprising a cover that defines a top surface thereof and at least one portion of an edge thereof, and a base that defines a bottom surface thereof, the cover being coupled to the base and moved relative to the base;
a sensing member installed on one of the cover and the base, and sensing a relative movement of the cover to the base;
a driving part installed on the other of the cover and the base, and operating the sensing member according to the relative movement of the cover to the base;
a buffer member installed on one of the cover and the base, and absorbing a shock according to the relative movement of the cover to the base; and
a buffer member supporter supporting a bottom surface of the buffer member.

Abstract
Provided is an automatic cleaner that absorbs and senses a shock more efficiently. In one embodiment, an automatic cleaner comprises: a casing comprising a cover that defines a top surface thereof and at least one portion of an edge thereof, and a base that defines a bottom surface thereof, the cover being coupled to the base and moved relative to the base; a sensing member installed on one of the cover and the base, and sensing a relative movement of the cover to the base; a driving part installed on the other of the cover and the base, and operating the sensing member according to the relative movement of the cover to the base; and a buffer member installed on one of the cover and the base, and absorbing a shock according to the relative movement of the cover to the base.

9. An automatic cleaner comprising:
-
a cover defining a top surface thereof and one portion of an edge thereof; a base coupled to the cover, and defining a bottom surface thereof and the other portion of the edge; a plurality of driving parts on the cover; a plurality of shock transmitters disposed on the cover, and farther away from an edge of the cover and the base than the driving part is; a plurality of sensing member installation parts disposed on the base, the number of the sensing member installation parts being equal to the number of the driving parts; a plurality of buffer member installation parts disposed on the base, the number of the buffer member installation parts being equal to the number of the shock transmitters; a plurality of sensing members installed on the sensing member installation parts, respectively, and turned on/off by the driving parts; and a buffer member installed on the buffer member installation part, and absorbing a shock transmitted by the shock transmitter, wherein, when the cover is moved relative to the base by an external shock, the driving part turns the sensing member on/off, and the buffer member absorbs the shock from the shock transmitter. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. An automatic cleaner comprising:
-
a cover defining a top surface thereof and one portion of an edge thereof; a base coupled to the cover, and defining a bottom surface thereof and the other portion of the edge; a sensing member sensing a relative movement of the cover to the base; and a buffer member absorbing a shock generated by the relative movement, wherein the buffer member is formed of an elastically deformable and flexible material, and wherein the buffer member is disposed in a region in which the cover and the base are overlapped in a horizontal line. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
