Abstract

A robot according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: at least one wheel for traveling; a water tank in which an accommodating space accommodating water is formed; a water pump connected to the water tank; a water purifier connected to the water pump to purify and discharge water provided from the water tank; and an air cleaner configured to suction and filter air and discharge the filtered air, wherein the water tank is disposed below the water pump, the water purifier, and the air cleaner.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A robot comprising:
at least one wheel for traveling;
a water tank in which an accommodating space accommodating water is formed;
a water pump connected to the water tank;
a water purifier connected to the water pump to purify and discharge water provided from the water tank;
an air cleaner configured to suction and filter air and discharge the filtered air;
a motor;
a first power transmission unit connected between the motor and the water pump; and
a second power transmission unit connected between the motor and the air cleaner,
wherein the water tank is disposed below the water pump, the water purifier, and the air cleaner.

2. The robot according to claim 1 , further comprising a humidifier configured to spray water supplied from the water tank to the outside, or to vaporize the water into water vapor and discharge the water vapor,
wherein the humidifier is disposed behind the air cleaner with respect to an advancing direction of the robot.

3. The robot according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a pump channel connected between the water tank and the water pump;
a purification channel connected between the water pump and the water purifier; and
a humidification channel connected between the water pump and the humidifier.

4. A robot comprising:
at least one wheel for traveling;
a water tank in which an accommodating space accommodating water is formed;
a water pump connected to the water tank;
a water purifier connected to the water pump to purify and discharge water provided from the water tank;
an air cleaner configured to suction and filter air and discharge the filtered air;
an upper body comprising the water tank, the water pump, the water purifier, and the air cleaner; and
a lower body provided below the upper body and comprising the at least one wheel and a battery,
wherein the water tank is disposed below the water pump, the water purifier, and the air cleaner.

5. The robot according to claim 4 , wherein the each of the upper body and the lower body has a rectangular parallelepiped shape,
wherein the water purifier is disposed on a first surface of the upper body,
wherein the upper body comprises a first water supply portion formed on the first surface and a second water supply portion formed on a second surface opposite to the first surface, and
wherein the lower body comprises a first power connection portion formed on a first surface corresponding to the first surface of the upper body and a second power connection portion formed on a second surface corresponding to the second surface of the upper body.

6. The robot according to claim 4 , wherein the lower body further comprises a cleaning module configured to clean a floor surface, and
wherein a cleaning channel is formed between the water tank and the cleaning module.
