ROBOT-CLEANER FITTED WITH NEGATIVE ION GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A47L9/28 A47L11/40 A47L9/10 

FIELD: robotized equipment used as robot-vacuum cleaner for cleaning floor surfaces.

SUBSTANCE: robot-cleaner has casing automatically movable over zone to be cleaned, drive for actuating plurality of wheels mounted on lower part of robot-cleaner casing, suction device mounted within casing and adapted for sucking dust from floor surface, negative ion generator positioned within casing, and controller adapted for controlling drive in order to actuate robot-cleaner in accordance with movement path preliminarily introduced into memory and adapted for controlling operation of negative ion generator. In the process of automatic movement over zone to be cleaned, robot-cleaner carries out cleaning procedure by means of suction device and purifies air by means of negative ion generator simultaneously or selectively. Negative ion generator has direct-flow fan, electric engine providing for rotating motion of said fan with the use of power source and for discharge of air from robot-cleaner casing, discharge channel for discharging of air from robot-cleaner casing, member equipped with grid-type part and mounted at one end of discharge channel, said member having plurality of openings. Negative ion generating device is mounted in member having grid-type part and is designated for generation of negative ions in air which is further discharged from discharge channel.

EFFECT: increased efficiency in cleaning of floor surface and generating of negative ions in predetermined zone during automatic movement over predetermined zone.
