METHOD FOR OPERATING AN AUTOMATICALLY MOVING CLEANING DEVICE AND CLEANING DEVICE OF THIS TYPE

摘要

The invention relates to an automatically moving cleaning device (1) comprising a device housing (2), at least one obstacle detection device (3) and a control device for controlling the cleaning device (1) within an environment according to a detection result of the obstacle detection device (3), wherein the obstacle detection device (3) is at least partially moveably mounted on the device housing (2), such that a detection region (6) of the obstacle detection device (3) can be shifted relative to the device housing (2). According to the invention, in order to optimise the detection of obstacles (4) within the environment of the cleaning device (1), the control device is configured to shift the detection region (6) of the obstacle detection device (3) relative to the device housing (2) depending on a position and/or orientation of the cleaning device (1).
