A cleaner includes a battery which is detachable from a main body, a printed circuit board (PCB) provided in the main body, a first connector provided on the PCB and including a first terminal portion, a second connector provided in the battery and including a second terminal portion coupled to the first terminal portion when the battery is mounted onto a battery mounting portion, and a heat dissipation structure provided on the PCB and configured to dissipate heat from the first terminal portion. The heat dissipation structure including a heat dissipation pad provided on the PCB and a plurality of heat dissipation patterns arranged two-dimensionally on the heat dissipation pad.

Cleaner with heat dissipation structure

A method of controlling an operation of a cordless vacuum cleaner includes storing information about predefined movement patterns corresponding to a plurality of control commands in a memory of the cordless vacuum cleaner, in response to detecting that docking or charging of the cordless vacuum cleaner on a station device is terminated, detecting at least one movement pattern among the predefined movement patterns by analyzing movement information obtained via at least one motion sensor, identifying at least one control command corresponding to the detected at least one movement pattern, and controlling an operation of the cordless vacuum cleaner based on the identified at least one control command.

Cordless vacuum cleaner and method of controlling operation of cordless vacuum cleaner

A cleaning device is provided. The cleaning device includes a vacuum cleaner which includes a dust collecting bin and a docking station to which the vacuum cleaner is coupled, wherein the docking station includes a charger configured to be electrically connected to a charging terminal of the vacuum cleaner in response to the vacuum cleaner being coupled to the docking station, a door driver configured to open or close a dust collecting bin door disposed at a lower portion of the dust collecting bin, a suction device configured to move air from the dust collecting bin into the docking station, a collector configured to collect foreign matter that moves together with the air due to driving the suction device, and a controller configured to control the door driver to open the dust collecting bin door in response to the charging terminal of the vacuum cleaner being electrically connected to the charger, configured to control the suction device to supply a suctioning air flow to the dust collecting bin and perform a discharge operation in response to the dust collecting bin door being opened, and configured to control the door driver to close the dust collecting bin door in response to an end of the discharge operation.

Cleaning device including vacuum cleaner and docking station and control method thereof

An operating method of a station device for discharging dust from a cordless vacuum cleaner includes detecting occurrence of an event requesting discharging dust from a dustbin included in the cordless vacuum cleaner to the station device, and performing a dust discharge operation for discharging dust in the dustbin to a collector of the station device based on detecting of the occurrence of the event. The performing a dust discharge operation includes transmitting, to the cordless vacuum cleaner via short-range wireless communication, a control signal for operating a first suction motor of the cordless vacuum cleaner, and operating a second suction motor of the station device in cooperation with the first suction motor.

Station device and operating method of station device

A cleaning device and a method therefor are provided. The cleaning device includes a vacuum cleaner including a dust collecting container and a docking station to which the dust collecting container is coupled. The docking station includes a suction device configured to move air from the dust collecting container to inside of the docking station, a collector configured to collect a foreign substance that is moved together with the air by driving of the suction device, a suction flow path along which air moves inside the docking station, a flow adjusting device configured to open or close the suction flow path, and at least one processor configured to control the suction device to operate based on the dust collecting container being coupled to the docking station, and control the flow adjusting device to periodically open and close the suction flow path in a state in which the suction device operates.
