Patent ID: 8052183

Claim:
A bumper structure for an automatic moving device, which allows said automatic moving device to change directions when bumping into obstacles, comprising: a base with a plurality of conductive sheets formed over said base, wherein said plurality of conductive sheets are coupled to a control circuit of said automatic moving device; an elastic housing formed over said base, with a protruding actuator section formed within said elastic housing, and said actuator section being parallel to said plurality of conductive sheets; and a conductive terminal formed at bottom of said actuator section, said conductive terminal being not in contact with said plurality of conductive sheets; wherein said elastic housing may provide buffer during impact, and force generated by said impact presses said actuator section downwards, allowing said conductive terminal of said actuator section to couple with said plurality of conductive sheets, thereby connecting said plurality of conductive sheets and transmits signal to said control circuit of said automatic moving device for executing a turning command.
