AUTONOMOUS-TRAVELING CLEANER AND WATER SPOUTING METHOD

To avoid as much as possible only a part of cloth becoming soiled when cleaning a floor.SOLUTION: A main body 1 is advanced by driving a right drive wheel 13 and a left drive wheel 14 in a state where a roller 16 around which a second cloth member is wound is stopped. During such an advancing movement, water is spouted from spout holes 22 onto a floor surface, and the water is wiped off by the second cloth member. After water is spouted from the spout holes 22 a predetermined number of times during a predetermined period of time, the roller 16 is rotated by a predetermined angle and water is spouted from the spout holes 22 to the floor surface, and the water is wiped off by the second cloth member. By repeating this operation, the entire second cloth member wound around the roller 16 is moistened. This allows the floor surface to be wiped clean with the moistened second cloth member.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】 床面を清掃する際に使用する布の一部分のみ汚れることをできるだけ回避する。【解決手段】 第２の布部材が巻きつけられたローラー１６を停止した状態で右駆動輪１３と左駆動輪１４を駆動させ本体１を前進させる。この前進させる際に噴水孔２２から床面に水を噴水させ、第２の布部材によりこの水をふき取る。所定時間の間、所定回数噴水孔２２から水を噴水させた後に、ローラー１６を所定の角度だけ回転させ、噴水孔２２から床面に水を噴水させ、第２の布部材によりこの水をふき取る。この動作を繰り返すことにより、ローラー１６に巻きつけられた第２の布部材全体を湿らせる。これにより、湿った第２の布部材により床面を拭き掃除することができる。【選択図】 図５
