Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an intelligent swimming pool robot. Background Technology

[0002] Pool robots, as an automated underwater cleaning device, are designed to replace traditional manual cleaning methods, thereby reducing the labor intensity of pool maintenance and improving cleaning efficiency. Their basic working principle is to move on the bottom and walls of the pool through the built-in drive system, while using a cleaning system (such as a roller brush or impeller) to agitate and sweep away dirt on the pool walls. Then, the pool water containing dirt is sucked in by the filtration system, and the dirt is trapped after filtration, thus achieving automated cleaning of the pool.

[0003] However, many robots typically have their roller brushes and bodies fixed in place. This makes it difficult for users to disassemble, clean, or replace the roller brushes when they wear out or become entangled in hair after long-term use. Regarding the design for removing and placing the filter basket, existing products often install it at the bottom of the body. When it's time to clean the collected waste, users must first remove the robot from the pool, then laboriously flip the entire body to open the bottom compartment and remove the filter basket. This process is cumbersome, labor-intensive, and easily wets the surrounding environment. Furthermore, the inlet of these bottom-mounted filter baskets usually lacks a reliable sealing structure. When the robot stops working or moves, the waste collected in the filter basket can easily leak back into the pool from the bottom inlet, causing secondary pollution. Therefore, a smart pool robot is needed to address these shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0036] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an intelligent swimming pool robot that can move autonomously on the bottom and walls of a swimming pool, efficiently cleaning and collecting waste.

[0037] The intelligent swimming pool robot in this embodiment mainly includes a body 1, a drive system, a cleaning system, a filtration system, and a control system.

[0038] The body 1 is the main structure of the robot, usually made of waterproof material (such as high-strength ABS plastic), and has an internal space for installing and accommodating other functional components. The drive system is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the body 1, and the drive system works in conjunction with the cleaning system.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive system includes drive wheels 2 and tracks 3. The drive wheels 2 are rotatably mounted on the side of the body 1 via a pivot. In this application, each track 3 is wrapped around two drive wheels 2, forming a closed-loop transmission structure. Through the movement of the tracks 3, the body 1 can achieve complex movements such as forward, backward, and turning within the pool. The design of the tracks 3 increases the contact area and friction with the pool wall, enabling it to firmly climb vertical walls and achieve full coverage of the cleaning range.

[0040] The cleaning system includes a roller brush 4, which is movably mounted on the bottom of the body 1. Specifically, the roller brush 4 is pivotally connected to the body 1 via pivots at both ends, allowing it to rotate freely. The bristles of the roller brush 4 are typically made of wear-resistant nylon or PVC material and are used to sweep up and agitate dirt, such as sand, fallen leaves, and hair, attached to the bottom and walls of the pool as the robot moves.

[0041] The protective cover 9 is detachably installed on the outside of the drive wheel 2 via a screw. After removing the protective cover 9, the limiting screw 12 can be unscrewed with a tool to disengage it from the locking hole 13, allowing the roller brush 4 to be replaced.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, to achieve efficient power utilization, the present invention specifically sets up a synchronization component 5, which is located inside the body 1. Its core function is to realize the synchronous rotation of the track 3 and the roller brush 4. Specifically, the servo motor 14 is started, which drives the drive gear 501 to rotate. Since the drive gear 501 and the transition gear 502 mesh, the transition gear 502 is controlled to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the drive wheel 2. With the cooperation of the drive wheel 2 at the other end of the track 3, the track 3 is synchronously rotated. This design ensures that the movement of the robot and the cleaning action of the roller brush 4 are completely synchronized. That is, the roller brush 4 must be working when the robot is moving, and the roller brush 4 also stops when the robot stops, avoiding the waste of power and ineffective brush wear. The structure is compact and highly efficient.

[0043] In addition, both ends of the roller brush 4 are provided with locking blocks 10. The locking blocks 10 are adapted to the slots 11 to connect the roller brush 4 to the two drive wheels 2 fixed on one side of the machine body 1. Then, the limiting screw 12 is rotated with a screwdriver to move it inside the rotating shaft 504 until the end of the limiting screw 12 is inserted into the locking hole 13, thereby installing the roller brush 4 to one side of the machine body 1, which makes it convenient for users to replace or clean the worn roller brush 4.

[0044] Furthermore, in this application, the synchronization component 5 at one end of the front side of the fuselage 1 includes a drive gear 501, a transition gear 502, a synchronization gear 503, and a rotating shaft 504, while the synchronization component 5 at the other end of the front side of the fuselage 1 only includes a rotating shaft 504. This method is intended to keep a single roller brush 4 synchronized with the track 3 on one side of the fuselage 1, so that the two tracks 3 can adjust the angle of the fuselage 1 by rotating at different speeds. At this time, the front roller brush 4 and the rear roller brush 4 of the fuselage 1 rotate at different speeds.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the filtration system includes a filter basket 6, which is detachably installed in the internal storage space of the main body 1. The filter basket 6 is typically composed of a plastic frame with filter holes and an internal filter bag (such as a nylon mesh bag) for collecting and storing waste sucked in from the pool. For easy cleaning, a cover plate 16 is detachably connected to the top of the main body 1. When the filter basket 6 needs to be cleaned, the user only needs to open the top cover plate 16 to vertically remove the entire filter basket 6 from the main body 1, empty the waste, and then put it back in its original position. The operation is very convenient. Compared with the filter basket 6, which needs to be installed at the bottom of the main body 1, this method is more convenient. The filter basket 6 can be removed directly from the top of the main body 1 without flipping the main body 1, which can keep the main body 1 suspended in the pool. After opening the top cover plate 16 of the main body 1, the filter basket 6 can be directly removed, cleaned, and reinstalled, thus eliminating the need to remove the main body 1 from the pool, which is more convenient.

[0046] In order to achieve efficient suction of dirt and prevent its leakage, the present invention provides a sealing and interception component 7 between the filter basket 6 and the body 1. This component is the key to achieving intelligent leak prevention.

[0047] Specifically, the bottom of the filter basket 6 is provided with a dirt inlet 8, which is the only channel for dirt to enter the filter basket 6. The sealing and interception assembly 7 is used to control the opening and closing of the dirt inlet 8. The assembly mainly consists of a sealing plate 701, a control strip 703 and a telescopic drive component 704.

[0048] The sealing plate 701 is located below the sewage inlet 8. Its size is larger than the sewage inlet 8, and it can completely cover and seal the sewage inlet 8. The sealing plate 701 is usually made of elastic sealing materials such as rubber or silicone to ensure the sealing effect. The control strip 703 is a rigid strip, which is horizontally located below the sealing plate 701. The telescopic drive component 704 (such as an electric push rod, electromagnet or cam mechanism driven by a motor) is fixedly installed inside the body 1, and its telescopic end is fixedly connected to the middle of the control strip 703.

[0049] In the initial state or when the robot stops working, the telescopic drive 704 is in the retracted state, and the sealing plate 701 is tightly attached to the inlet 8 of the filter basket 6 under its own weight or the action of an additional elastic element 702 (such as a spring), forming a reliable physical seal. At this time, the filter basket 6 is completely isolated from the outside world.

[0050] When the robot starts working, the control system activates the telescopic drive 704, causing its telescopic end to extend and push the control bar 703 upward. The control bar 703 then pushes the sealing plate 701 above it, causing the sealing plate 701 to move upward against gravity or elastic force, thereby leaving the sewage inlet 8 and opening the sewage inlet 8.

[0051] The bottom of the body 1 is provided with a suction port 15, which is the inlet for pool water to enter the robot. The body 1 is also equipped with a water pump. The inlet of the water pump is connected to the suction port 15 through a pipe, and the outlet faces the filter basket 6. When the control bar 703 moves under the drive of the telescopic drive 704, its position is exactly between the suction port 15 and the inlet 8.

[0052] like Figure 6 As shown in the diagram, the control system structure of the intelligent swimming pool robot includes a user interaction module, a main control module, and execution and sensing modules. The user interaction module allows users to input commands and receive feedback. The main control module is responsible for processing commands, executing control algorithms, and coordinating the work of various components. The execution and sensing modules include actuators such as drive wheels 2, roller brush 4, and water pump, as well as environmental perception sensors, used to realize the robot's actual movement and cleaning operations. The three modules interact through communication lines, forming a closed-loop control system to ensure that the robot can efficiently and accurately complete the pool cleaning task according to user commands. It should be noted that, since the control system structure belongs to a mature control system for intelligent swimming pool robots, its detailed working principle will not be elaborated in this application.

[0053] The workflow is as follows: When the telescopic drive component 704 lifts the sealing plate 701 and opens the sewage inlet 8, the control system starts the water pump. The water pump generates a strong negative pressure at the sewage suction port 15, which draws the pool water containing sewage from the sewage suction port 15. The water flows through the gap between the control strip 703 and the inner wall of the body 1, flows to the opened sewage inlet 8, and finally enters the filter basket 6. The sewage is intercepted and collected by the filter basket 6, while the filtered clean water flows out from the mesh of the filter basket 6 and is discharged back into the pool. When the cleaning task is completed or the robot needs to return, the control system controls the water pump to stop and commands the telescopic drive component 704 to retract. The sealing plate 701 then falls down and reseals the sewage inlet 8, effectively preventing the sewage collected in the filter basket 6 from leaking when the robot moves or is removed.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
