VACUUM CLEANER AND VACUUM CLEANER CONTROL METHOD Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A47L5/00 

FIELD: personal use articles.

SUBSTANCE: this invention relates to vacuum cleaners, more specifically - to a vacuum cleaner that determines the relative position of the handle assembly relative the body and such relative position change for forced automatic movement of the body according to the handle assembly movement, as well as to a vacuum cleaner control method. The vacuum cleaner contains a handle assembly connected to the suction fitting, a body connected to the handle assembly with the help of a connective hose, a drive device for setting in motion the wheels mounted on the body, a transmitter device and a receiver device (mounted on the handle assembly and on the body respectively and intended for establishment of ultrasonic communication between the latter) as well as a control device for control of the transmitter device and the receiver device; for usage of data on the distance between the transmitter device and the receiver device (obtained as a result of ultrasonic communication during trilateration) for determination of the relative position and such relative position change for and for control of the drive device for the body to move according to the handle assembly relative position change.

EFFECT: new vacuum cleaner design proposed.
