Accordingly, the side brush assembly 160 is linearly moved from the first position by the first driving member 155 to be positioned at the second position.
  • the first switch 157 When the side brush assembly 160 is positioned at the second position, the first switch 157 generates a signal for stopping the forward operation of the first driving member 155. Accordingly, the forward movement of the first driving member 155 is stopped, so that the side brush assembly 160 is maintained at the second position.
  • the operation of the suction device when the operation of the suction device is started, the operation of the second drive member 156 is started. Therefore, the brush 162 is rotated to move the foreign matter in the area corresponding to the outside of the suction port 111 downward of the suction port 111. And the foreign matter moved below the suction port 111 moved by the brush 162 is sucked by the suction device.

  • the reverse operation of the first driving member 155 is stopped by a signal generated from the second switch 158.
  • the operation of the second driving member 156 is stopped. Therefore, the rotation of the brush 162 is also stopped.
  • the side brush assembly 160 is located in the first position, thereby preventing the side brush assembly 160, in particular the brush 162 from being exposed to the outside of the cleaner. Therefore, in the process of charging or storing the cleaner, the phenomenon in which the side brush assembly 150 is damaged may be prevented.
