[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only partial structures related to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, rather than the entire structure.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the connection of the internal structures of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements.

[0037] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and other directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operate in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0038] like Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a pool robot, which is used to work in a pool. At present, commonly used pool robots are mainly used to clean the bottom and wall of a pool. The pool robot includes a housing 100 and a dirt box 200. The housing 100 is provided with a receiving chamber 120, and the dirt box 200 is arranged in the receiving chamber 120. Of course, the pool robot also includes a filtering drive mechanism. The dirt box 200 is provided with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet. The filtering drive mechanism can drive the pool robot to suck water from the pool. The water enters the dirt box 200 from the liquid inlet. After being filtered by the dirt box 200, the garbage remains in the dirt box 200, and the cleaning liquid is discharged from the liquid outlet.

[0039] When the pool robot is working in water, water will enter the housing 100 from various gaps on the housing, so that a large amount of water will remain inside the body of the pool robot. When the user lifts the pool robot out of the water, the weight of the water in the housing causes the pool robot to be heavy, and the user needs to use a lot of strength to lift the body out of the water. After the body is lifted out of the water, due to the slow drainage speed of the housing 100, it takes a long time to completely drain the water in the housing 100, which takes a long time and has a poor user experience.

[0040] like Figure 1-2In order to solve the above problems, in this embodiment, the housing 100 is provided with a first water outlet 110. During or after the water pool robot exits the water (i.e. leaves the water surface), the water inside the housing 100 can be quickly discharged from the first water outlet 110. The accommodating cavity 120 is provided with a second water outlet 130. The water pool robot further includes a water baffle 300. The water baffle 300 is provided on the second water outlet 130. When the water pool robot is in the water, the water baffle 300 closes the second water outlet 130 to prevent water from entering the dirt box 200 from the second water outlet 130 and affecting the working efficiency of the water pool robot. When the pool robot is in the process of exiting the water (i.e. leaving the water surface) or after exiting the water, the water baffle 300 is opened, and the water in the dirt box 200 can flow out from the second water outlet 130 and out of the housing 100 from the first water outlet 110, so as to quickly drain the water in the dirt box 200, increase the drainage speed of the pool robot in the process of exiting the water, quickly reduce the weight of the pool robot, and help improve the user experience. When the pool robot enters the water, water can enter the housing 100 from the first water outlet 110, which is conducive to quickly increasing the gravity of the pool robot, allowing it to enter the water quickly, and improving the efficiency of the pool robot entering the water.

[0041] Optionally, the water baffle 300 is made of a flexible waterproof material. When the pool robot is in the water, the water pressure inside and outside the second water outlet 130 can make the water baffle 300 fit on the outside of the side wall, and the water in the dirt box 200 will not flow out from the second water outlet 130, and the water outside cannot enter from the second water outlet 130. When the pool robot is out of the water, the water outside the dirt box 200 is quickly discharged from the first water outlet 110, and the pressure outside the dirt box 200 is reduced. The gravity inside the dirt box 200 drives the position of the water baffle 300 that is not connected to the side wall to separate from the side wall to form a gap, so that water can be quickly discharged from the gap. The water baffle 300 does not require additional driving force, and can achieve the water baffle 300 selectively closing the second water outlet 130, which can not only reduce costs, but also help simplify the structure of the pool robot.

[0042] In other embodiments, the water baffle 300 includes a body and a rotating shaft, wherein the body cover is disposed on the second water outlet 130, and the body is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, so that when the pool robot is out of water, the body can be driven to rotate under the action of the gravity of the water to open the second water outlet 130. The upper side here refers to the side away from the ground when the pool robot is located on the ground. Further, the rotating shaft is disposed between the side wall and the body, and the rotating shaft is located above the second water outlet 130.

[0043] Furthermore, the area of ​​the water baffle 300 is larger than the second water outlet hole 130, so that it can cover the second water outlet hole 130 completely. The water baffle 300 is connected to the side of the side wall away from the dirt box, and the circumference of the water baffle 300 is discontinuously connected to the side wall, so that after the pool robot comes out of the water, the water in the dirt box 200 can overflow from the position where the water baffle 300 is not connected to the side wall. Specifically, the circumference of the water baffle 300 is discontinuously connected to the side wall in a manner that each side edge of the water baffle 300 is partially connected to the side wall and partially not connected, so that when the pool robot is underwater, the water pressure outside the side wall is used to prevent the water in the dirt box 200 from flowing out of the second water outlet hole 130. After the pool robot leaves the water surface, the external water pressure of the water baffle 300 disappears. At this time, the water pressure inside the dirt box 200 can drive the water baffle 300 to separate from the side wall at the position where it is not connected to the side wall, so that the water in the dirt box 200 can flow out from the second water outlet 130. Of course, the water baffle 300 can also be connected to the side wall in an intermittent manner in the circumference, and at least one side of the water baffle 300 is connected to the side wall, and this side at least includes the upper side of the water baffle 300 away from the ground, so that the water baffle 300 is not connected to the side wall and can be separated from the side wall when the pool robot leaves the water, thereby opening the second water outlet 130, which is conducive to the rapid discharge of water, thereby ensuring drainage efficiency.

[0044] In addition, if Figure 1-2 The second water outlet 130 is disposed close to the lower end surface of the housing 100 so that the water in the dirt box 200 can be fully discharged to reduce the residue.

[0045] There are multiple first water outlet holes 110, which are arranged in an array, and there are multiple second water outlet holes 130, which are arranged in an array, which is conducive to expanding the water outlet area and ensuring the stability of water outlet. Optionally, the first water outlet hole 110 and the second water outlet hole 130 can be round holes or grid holes.

[0046] The pool robot further includes a filter element, which is disposed on the inner wall of the dirt box 200 and the second water outlet 130 corresponding to each other, so as to prevent the garbage in the dirt box 200 from being taken out during the drainage process.

[0047] Furthermore, the area of ​​the first water outlet 110 is 2000 mm 2 ~6000mm 2 , thereby ensuring sufficient water outlet area and improving water outlet efficiency.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the second water outlet 130 is arranged on the side wall of the accommodating chamber 120, and the pool robot also includes a handle 400 arranged at the front end of the housing 100, which is convenient for the user to hold, and the front end here is the forward direction of the pool robot when working. At the same time, when the handle 400 is lifted, the side wall provided with the second water outlet 130 forms an inclined state, and the front end is the forward direction of the pool robot when working, so that the liquid in the waste box 200 is discharged from the second water outlet 130 under the action of gravity, which can not only ensure the drainage efficiency, but also improve the drainage ratio and reduce the residual water in the waste box 200.

[0049] In addition, in order to allow the water inside the housing 100 to be fully drained, the internal structure of the pool robot does not have obvious right angles and dead angles to prevent the internal water from being left undrained. Optionally, when the handle 400 is lifted, the lower end surface of the housing 100 forms an angle of 45° to 75° with the horizontal plane, so that the water flows out naturally under the action of gravity, which is conducive to increasing the drainage ratio. Optionally, when the handle is lifted, the lower end surface of the housing 100 forms an angle of 45° with the horizontal plane.

[0050] In one embodiment, the first water outlet 110 is arranged on the lower end surface of the shell 100, and the first water outlet 110 is constructed as follows: when the handle 400 is lifted, the first water outlet 110 is located below the second water outlet 130, so that the first water outlet 110 is located at a relatively low position when the pool robot is lifted. When the user holds the handle 400 to lift the pool robot, water flows downward under the action of gravity. Disposing the first water outlet 110 at a relatively low position of the shell 100 when the user holds the handle 400 is beneficial to reducing the residual water inside the shell 100 and improving the drainage ratio.

[0051] See also Figure 4 A water inlet hole 140 is also provided on the side walls of the dirt box 200 and the accommodating chamber 120. The water inlet hole 140 is arranged close to the upper end surface of the shell 100. When the pool robot enters the water, water outside the shell 100 can enter the dirt box 200 from the water inlet hole 140, which is beneficial to quickly increase the gravity of the pool robot, allowing it to enter the water quickly, and further improve the water entry efficiency of the pool robot.

[0052] Optionally, the water inlet hole 140 may be a grid hole, which has a large opening area, thereby facilitating improving water inlet efficiency.

[0053] It can be understood that the filter drive assembly 500 is at least partially arranged outside the water inlet 140. When the pool robot is working in the water, the filter drive assembly 500 can drive water and garbage from the liquid inlet of the dirt box 200. After being filtered by the dirt box 200, the water and garbage are discharged from the water inlet 140 to the filter drive assembly 500, and then discharged to the outside of the shell 100 along a preset path.

[0054] Note that the above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention.
