  • Publication number: 20200089249
    Abstract: Provided is a self-propelled vacuum configured so that depending on an obstacle, the self-propelled vacuum can move over the obstacle without performing avoidance operation to shorten cleaning time. A self-propelled vacuum 1 includes a vacuum body 2, a suction unit 5 for sucking dust and the like on a floor surface F, a traveling drive unit 4 configured to drive wheels 21, a front sensor 51 configured to sense an obstacle S in the front in a traveling direction, and a vehicle height adjustment unit 6 configured to move the wheels 21 up and down to adjust the vehicle height of the vacuum body 2. In a case where the traveling drive unit 4 is driven and the front sensor 51 senses the obstacle S during self-propelling, the vehicle height adjustment unit 6 increases the vehicle height to a predetermined height, and thereafter, the self-propelled vacuum 1 moves over the obstacle S while the vehicle height is being adjusted such that a distance to the obstacle S is held within a predetermined range.

  • Publication number: 20190285143
    Abstract: A cycloid speed reducer has a housing for accommodating a piece of equipment. Outer pins in meshing engagement with cycloid gears of a reduction gear portion are incorporated into the housing as a sliding bearing. A lubrication ring for lubricating the outer pins is slidably incorporated into the housing. The outer pins are lubricated by the outer pin lubricating ring. Inner pins are lubricated by a lubricating ring. The pair of cycloid gears are lubricated via the outer pins and the inner pins. As a result, friction between components is reduced, whereby frictional resistance decreases and durability is enhanced. In addition, the cycloid speed reducer can be manufactured as a small, compact unit.
