Abstract: Provided is an upright vacuum cleaner. The upright vacuum cleaner includes a suction nozzle comprising a plurality of wheels, a main body relatively rotatable with respect to the suction nozzle, and a steering device steering the plurality of wheels to correspond to the movement of the main body.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner according to present embodiments includes a main body; a wheel for moving the main body; a driving unit for driving the wheel; a sensor for sensing movement of the main body; and a controller for controlling the driving unit according to data sensed by the sensor.

Abstract: A nozzle for a vacuum cleaner is provided, the nozzle having a structure in which suction performance may be improved. The nozzle may include a nozzle body, and an agitator rotatably installed in the nozzle body. Air may follow a first flow path through the nozzle, and a second flow path which diverges from the second flow path at the agitator, so as to uniformly distribute air flow through the nozzle.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a vacuum cleaner including a main body (1) of the vacuum cleaner, a wheel (2) rotatably mounted at the body, a driving unit for driving the wheel (2), a sensor (71) positioned at the main body, for sensing an inclined direction of the main body (1), and a control unit for controlling the driving unit according to the inclined direction of the main body (1) sensed by the sensor (71). In this configuration, the posture of the main body (1) of the vacuum cleaner can be controlled according to the inverted pendulum control theory. Therefore, the main body (1) of the vacuum cleaner can maintain the posture thereof not to fall down.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner is provided that includes a vacuum cleaner main body having a suction pump, a suction nozzle portion that sucks impurities by a suction force supplied by the suction pump, a suction passage that connects the suction nozzle portion to the suction pump, an agitator installed at the suction passage, and a driving device that makes the agitator perform a linear translation. As the agitator is formed narrow and long, a bottom surface of the suction nozzle portion may maintain a small suction area. Therefore the vacuum cleaner attains a high surface pressure which is an advantage of an ordinary type suction nozzle portion, and a high drag coefficient of impurities which is an advantage of a brush type suction nozzle portion.
