Abstract

A remote control sweeper includes a wireless remote control receiver installed at the sweeper; a remote control for transmitting a direction control signal to the remote control receiver via a wireless transmission to control the moving direction of the sweeper, such that the sweeper can be moved to automatically clean up the dirt and collect the dust on a floor.

Claims

1. A remote control sweeper, comprising:

a wireless remote control receiver, installed at said sweeper; and

a remote control, for transmitting a direction control signal to said remote control receiver to control the moving direction of said sweeper.

2. The sweeper of claim 1, further comprising:

an upper casing and a lower casing, both being coupled with each other manually to define an interior space;

a battery, installed in said interior space;

two wheels, installed in said interior space and in contact with a floor, and each wheel being controlled by a motor transmission gear module to rotate;

a sweeping brush, installed in said interior space and in contact with a floor, and controlled by a sweeping brush transmission module to rotate axially;

a dust container, detachably fixed into said interior space and having a dust collecting opening disposed on a surface corresponding to said sweeping brush for collecting dirt and dust swept by said sweeper;

an electronic control unit, installed in said interior space and electrically coupled with said battery, said motor transmission gear module, said sweeper transmission module and said remote control receiver.

3. The sweeper of claim 2, further comprising at least two universal wheels installed at an external surface of the bottom of said lower casing.

4. The sweeper of claim 2, wherein said lower casing installs a lateral brush transmission module disposed at a corner of said lower casing proximate to said sweeping brush and electrically coupled with said electronic control unit for driving a lateral brush disposed at the bottom of said lower casing to rotate.

5. The sweeper of claim 2, wherein said upper casing comprises a pushing section pivotally coupled to a surface of said upper casing.

6. The sweeper of claim 5, wherein said pushing section comprises a pivotal connecting section for pivotally coupling an end of a handle rod.

7. The sweeper of claim 6, wherein said lower casing comprises a grove having a first groove end and a second groove end, and the groove of said second groove end is shallower than the groove of said first groove;

and a T-shape rod is pivotally coupled with said grooves, and an auxiliary roller is disposed separately on both ends of said T-shape rod, and said two auxiliary rollers are accommodated by the groove of said first groove end or said second groove end by said T-shape rod.

8. The sweeper of claim 2, wherein said sweeping brush comprises an axle, a brush body coupled outside said axle, and said brush body includes a brush, and said axle of said sweeping brush is controlled by said brush transmission module to rotate and said brush is provided for cleaning.

9. The sweeper of claim 8, wherein both ends of said axle of said sweeping brush are pivotally mounted onto a pivotal base of a sidewall corresponding to an opening of said sweeping brush of said lower casing, and an end of said axle is coupled to said sweeping brush transmission module.

10. The sweeper of claim 9, wherein said sweeping brush transmission module comprises a belt roller coupled with an axle end of said sweeping brush and driven by a transmission belt and a motor axle, and said motor is electrically coupled with said electronic control unit.

11. The sweeper of claim 2, further comprises an external power socket electrically coupled with said electronic control unit for charging said battery.

12. The sweeper of claim 2, wherein said upper casing further comprises an object accommodating groove disposed in an accommodating space of said upper casing.

13. The sweeper of claim 2, wherein said dust container is comprised of a box body and a lid covering said box body.

14. The sweeper of claim 2, wherein said dust container installs a dust scraper being in contact with said sweeping brush and disposed at a lower edge of said dust collecting opening of said dust container.

15. The sweeper of claim 14, wherein said dust scraper is tilted to be in contact with said sweeping brush.

16. The sweeper of claim 2, wherein said upper casing further comprises a power button electrically coupled with said electronic control unit.
