Publication number: 20170001490Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cleaning robot including an improved driving unit to escape from an undriveable state occurring under various driving conditions. The cleaning robot includes a body, and a driving unit that drives the body. The driving unit includes a first driving motor and a second driving motor that generate driving power; a driving wheel that rotates when the driving power is delivered to the driving wheel from the first driving motor; and a wheel frame that supports the driving wheel to be rotatable and rotates between a first position and a second position with respect to a motor shaft of the first driving motor. The wheel frame rotates in at least one section between the first position and the second position when the driving power is delivered to the wheel frame from the second driving motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2015Publication date: January 5, 2017Applicant: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTDInventors: Sung Jin PARK, Jae Youl JEONG, Heum Young PARK, Dong Min SHIN, Jeong Ki YOO, Dong Hun LEE

Patent number: 9480380Abstract: A cleaning robot having improved traveling performance and a method of controlling the same. The cleaning robot detects a stuck state such as a ‘jammed state’, ‘lifted state’, or ‘object-caught state’ by using a motion instruction or sensor information and quickly escapes from the stuck state caused in various traveling conditions by using a wheel structure capable of changing a total height of the cleaning robot. In addition, a degree of risk and type of the stuck state is predicted before the cleaning robot is in the stuck state so that the cleaning robot may deal with the stuck state in advance. The cleaning robot may escape from the stuck state via rapidly deceleration or quick stopping in accordance with the predicted degree of risk of the stuck state, and the cleaning robot may efficiently deal with the stuck state by using information to select an escaping method suitable for the type of the stuck state.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2014Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Jeong Ki Yoo, Sung Jin Park, Jun Young Lee, Dong Min Shin, Dong Hun Lee, Jae Youl Jeong, Shin Kim, Heum Yong Park, In Hak Na

Publication number: 20150143646Abstract: A robot cleaner includes a plurality of motors each of which transmits a driving force, a pad assembly which is connected to one of the plurality of motors to receive a rotational force from the motor, to rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and thus to clean a floor surface, and a wire which is connected to the pad assembly and another one of the plurality of motors so that the pad assembly is tilted by the driving force of the motor, wherein the robot cleaner moves in a particular direction by a non-uniform frictional force between a bottom surface of the pad assembly and the floor surface. The robot cleaner uses wires to tilt the pad assembly and, thus, it is possible to miniaturize the robot cleaner.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2014Publication date: May 28, 2015Applicant: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Jae Youl JEONG, Sung Jin PARK, Heum Yong PARK, Dong Hun LEE, Min Jae KIM

Publication number: 20140196231Abstract: A robot cleaner capable of moving in diverse directions and enhancing cleaning efficiency by increasing frictional force between a pad and a floor includes two or more driving units. Each of the driving units includes plural motors, a first subframe connected to at least any one of the motors and configured to rotate by receiving rotational force from the motor, a rotating plate assembly mounted to the first subframe and configured to be slanted with respect to a floor by rotation of the first subframe and to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by receiving rotational force from another motor, and a pad provided at the rotating plate assembly and configured to contact the floor. When the rotating plate assembly is slanted with respect to the floor, nonuniform frictional force is generated between the pad and the floor, through which the robot cleaner travels.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2013Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sung Jin PARK, Jae Youl JEONG, Shin KIM, Heum Yong PARK, Dong Hun LEE
