Two-in-one upright vacuum
Systems and methods for providing a two-in-one vacuum cleaner are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the system comprises a nozzle that is detachable from a rest of a vacuum cleaner. The nozzle is configured to perform as a vacuum nozzle of the vacuum cleaner when attached to the vacuum cleaner. The nozzle is also configured to perform as a robotic vacuum cleaner when detached from the vacuum cleaner.
1. A system, comprising:
a nozzle that is detachable from a rest of a vacuum cleaner, wherein:
the nozzle is configured to perform as a vacuum nozzle of the vacuum cleaner when attached to the vacuum cleaner,
the rest of the vacuum cleaner is not in contact with a surface to be vacuumed when the nozzle is attached to the vacuum cleaner,
the nozzle is configured to perform as a robotic vacuum cleaner when detached from the vacuum cleaner, and
the rest of the vacuum cleaner is operable to vacuum when the nozzle is detached from the vacuum cleaner.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle is configured to suck particles based on a first motor of the vacuum cleaner when the nozzle is attached to the vacuum cleaner.
3. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the nozzle is configured to suck particles based on a second motor of the nozzle when the nozzle is detached from the vacuum cleaner.
4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle includes a battery that is recharged when the nozzle is attached to the vacuum cleaner.
5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein contents of a dust bin of the nozzle are emptied into a dust bin of the vacuum cleaner when the nozzle is attached to the vacuum cleaner.
6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle acting as the robotic vacuum cleaner is controlled wirelessly by a wireless device.
7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the vacuum cleaner performs as an upright vacuum cleaner when the nozzle is attached to the vacuum cleaner.
8. A vacuum cleaner, comprising:
a motor operatively coupled to a robotic vacuum cleaner when the robotic vacuum cleaner is attached to the vacuum cleaner, wherein:
the vacuum cleaner is configured to perform as an upright vacuum cleaner when the robotic vacuum cleaner is attached,
the robotic vacuum cleaner is configured to perform as a nozzle for the upright vacuum cleaner,
the vacuum cleaner is not in contact with a surface to be vacuumed when the robotic vacuum cleaner is attached to the vacuum cleaner, and
the vacuum cleaner is configured to perform as an unassisted upright vacuum cleaner when the robotic vacuum cleaner is detached.
9. The vacuum cleaner according to claim 8 , wherein the robotic vacuum cleaner is configured to suck particles based on the motor of the vacuum cleaner when the nozzle is attached to the vacuum cleaner.
10. The vacuum cleaner according to claim 9 , wherein the robotic vacuum cleaner is configured to suck particles based on a second motor of the robotic vacuum cleaner when the robotic vacuum cleaner is detached from the vacuum cleaner.
11. The vacuum cleaner according to claim 8 , wherein the robotic vacuum cleaner includes a battery that is recharged when the robotic vacuum cleaner is attached to the vacuum cleaner.
12. The vacuum cleaner according to claim 8 , wherein contents of a dust bin of the robotic vacuum cleaner are emptied into a dust bin of the vacuum cleaner when the robotic vacuum cleaner is attached to the vacuum cleaner.
13. The vacuum cleaner according to claim 8 , wherein the robotic vacuum cleaner is configured to be controlled wirelessly.
14. The vacuum cleaner according to claim 8 , wherein the robotic vacuum cleaner is configured to be controlled wirelessly by a smartphone or a wireless communication device.
