Abstract: A robot cleaner includes a motor, a rotating-shaft member, and a rotation member coupled to the rotating-shaft member and including a cleaning member coupling configured to be detachably coupled to a plurality of cleaning members. The motor, rotating-shaft member, and the rotation member are configured so that the motor is drivable to rotate the rotating-shaft member and thereby cause the rotation member to move in a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction, along a longitudinal direction of the rotating-shaft member. In a case that the rotation member moves in the first direction with the cleaning member coupling detachably coupled to the plurality of cleaning members, at least one cleaning member of the plurality of cleaning members becomes detached, and is thereby released, from the cleaning member coupling.

Abstract: A robot cleaner includes a rotation motor; a rotation member that is rotatable by driving of the rotation motor having a first surface, a second surface, and an opening through the rotation member and penetrating the first surface and the second surface; and a floorcloth coupling member disposed on the second surface and having a floorcloth attaching unit insertable into the opening to be detachably coupled to a floorcloth in contact with the first surface. The rotation member and the floorcloth coupling member are configured so that, when the floorcloth attaching unit is inserted into the opening and detachably coupled to the floorcloth, the rotation member rotates in a first state, the floorcloth attaching unit remains coupled to the floorcloth. When the rotation member rotates in a second state, the floorcloth attaching unit exits the opening so that the floorcloth becomes detached from the floorcloth attaching unit.
