Abstract

An electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a dust suction part; a body part including a motor for generating suction force of the electronic device and a battery module operable by a power source of the motor; and an extension pipe combined between the dust suction part and the body part and providing a passage for moving foreign substances absorbed through the dust suction part to the body part, wherein the extension pipe may include a pipe-type external case, a supercapacitor module disposed in an inner space of the pipe-type external case and including a hollow space used as the passage, and a first docking connector for transmitting electrical energy of the supercapacitor module to the motor when the body part is combined to the extension pipe.

Claims (47)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a dust suction part;

a body part including a motor for generating suction force of the electronic device and a battery module operable by a power source of the motor; and

an extension pipe combined between the dust suction part and the body part and providing a passage for moving foreign substances absorbed through the dust suction part to the body part,

wherein the extension pipe includes

a pipe-type external case,

a supercapacitor module disposed in an inner space of the pipe-type external case and including a hollow space used as the passage, and

a first docking connector for transmitting electrical energy of the supercapacitor module to the motor when the body part is combined to the extension pipe, and

wherein the hollow space is formed to penetrate the supercapacitor module in a direction in which the absorbed foreign substances move.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein

the supercapacitor module includes a plurality of supercapacitors connected to each other in series, and

the supercapacitors respectively have a cylindrical shape in which a hollow space used as the passage is formed in a center.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein

the supercapacitors respectively include

a case including an inner wall in a cylindrical shape, an outer wall in a cylindrical shape spaced from the inner wall with a predetermined gap and surrounding the inner wall, and first and second plates respectively combined to respective ends of the inner wall and the outer wall and closing and sealing a space between the inner wall and the outer wall;

a capacitor disposed in a space between the inner wall and the outer wall;

a first electrode terminal in a protruding shape formed on the first plate; and

a second electrode terminal in an indented shape formed on the second plate.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein

the supercapacitors include first and second supercapacitors connected to each other in series, and

the first electrode terminal of the second supercapacitor is inserted and combined to the second electrode terminal of the first supercapacitor.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein

the supercapacitors respectively further include:

a third electrode terminal in an indented shape formed on the first plate and having a same polarity as the first electrode terminal; and

a fourth electrode terminal in a protruding shape formed on the second plate and having a same polarity as the second electrode terminal, and

the fourth electrode terminal of the first supercapacitor is inserted and combined to the third electrode terminal of the second supercapacitor.

6. The electronic device of claim 3 , further comprising

a packing in a ring shape disposed between the second plate of the first supercapacitor and the first plate of the second supercapacitor.

7. The electronic device of claim 3 , further comprising

a safety cock disposed on the outer wall and discharging gas inside the case to an outside.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein

the body part includes:

a second docking connector connected to the supercapacitor module through the first docking connector when the body part is combined to the extension pipe;

a power switch disposed to at least one of wires for connecting terminals of the second docking connector and the motor and switching an electrical connection between the second docking connector and the motor; and

a control module for detecting whether the extension pipe is combined to the body part, and controlling the power switch so as to form a current path between the supercapacitor module and the motor when the body part is combined to the extension pipe.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein

the control module is connected to the second docking connector, and charges the battery module with an output of the supercapacitor module when the body part is combined to the extension pipe.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein

the control module detects a voltage of the supercapacitor module when the body part is combined to the extension pipe, and it transmits an output of the battery module to the motor when a voltage of the supercapacitor module is equal to or less than a predetermined value.

11. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein

the control module transmits an output of the battery module to the motor when the combination of the body part and the extension pipe is removed.

12. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein

the body part further includes a switch for selecting one of the supercapacitor module and the battery module as a power source of the motor, and

the power switch is turned on or turned off according to an operation of the switch.

13. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein

when the switch is operated to select the supercapacitor module as a power source of the motor, the power switch is turned on by the switch and an output of the supercapacitor module is transmitted to the motor, and

when a voltage of the supercapacitor module becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value or the switch is operated to select the battery module as a power source of the motor, the power switch is maintained in a turn-off state, and an output of the battery module is transmitted to the motor by the control module.
