Description of the invention

The vehicle-operated remote-controlled vacuum cleaner includes a control system comprising:

• at least one electric motor that drives a drive wheel

• at least one steering wheel with means to vary its angle

• a control card capable of receiving orders by radio and capable of controlling the electric motor that drives the driving wheels and the means to vary the angle of at least one steering wheel.

• A control device for the user capable of issuing instructions by radio to the control card.

The remote control is carried out in a simple way by the cell itself

or a tablet or by means of a command operated by the user connected to the radio control card, for example by means of a bluetooth or wifi protocol, or another known in the art (Fig. 2a). The advantage of using the cell phone itself is that it does not make the product more expensive. To do this, an Android application (under the Linux format designed primarily for mobile devices with a touch screen) could be loaded into the mobile phone to proceed with a bluetooth module to manage the maneuverability of the vacuum cleaner. In the vacuum cleaner could be installed a printed circuit board with microcontroller (Arduino or similar)

To increase the sensation of driving a remote-controlled car, the outer casing of the vacuum cleaner can be in the shape of any transport vehicle in terms of geometry, appearance and color both existing on the market and not. In the same way it can serve as an advertising article regarding the specific brands of vehicles (Fig. 2b).

Regarding the means to supply electrical power could be a cable capable of being connected to the electrical network with an automatic cable box with a housing, which allows the movement of the vacuum cleaner without getting entangled with the cable. It could also be a battery.

In the event that the user does not wish to continuously control the vacuum cleaner, the control card may be able to automatically control the vacuum cleaner according to a pre-established program. This program could be random movements that end up covering the entire surface to be vacuumed, remembering the movements made previously by the user through the remote control system or other programming means known in the art.

Another advantage of the vehicle-driven vacuum cleaner of the invention is that, due to its exterior car-shaped housing, it can be placed decoratively in the home, thus gaining in the storage space.

Mixed option: the combination of the remote-controlled and the manual option is managed by the same stopper that alternates the closing of each of the leads. 

Object of the invention

The object of the invention as expressed in the statement of the specification refers to the obtaining of an exclusive and very characteristic product that allows performing a daily activity such as cleaning in a comfortable and entertaining manner.
