Therefore, users often need to remotely control underwater equipment to clean the swimming pool regularly.

[0031] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is an explanation in combination with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Research has found that in the current existing technology, although there are devices for remotely controlling underwater equipment on the market, the current market generally uses a radio remote control to directly send signals to the underwater equipment. When actually operating, the user must carry a handheld remote control, mobile phone and other devices with him. Therefore, if the user does not carry a remote control, mobile phone and other devices, the underwater equipment cannot be remotely controlled, which has the problem of poor convenience.

[0033] To do this, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present invention designs a remote control device for underwater equipment, which includes a perception module 24 and a first communication module 21, and the perception module 24 is directly or indirectly connected to the first communication module 21; wherein, the perception module 24 is used to collect sound signals and / or image signals of the user 3, and the first communication module 21 is connected to the underwater equipment 1 wirelessly and / or by wired communication to send the sound signal and / or image signal to the underwater equipment 1 or send the operation instruction obtained based on the processing of the sound signal and / or graphic signal to the underwater equipment 1.

[0034] It can be seen from the above description that in the present invention, the inventor has optimized and designed a new remote control device 2 for underwater equipment 1. The remote control device 2 can be specifically set on the shore, suspended above the water body or floating on the water surface. It is easy to install and does not need to be carried by the operator. The user 3 only needs to use sound or body language at a position where the remote control device 2 can observe to express the operation he wants to perform. The remote control device 2 can collect the sound signal and / or graphic signal of the user 3 in real time, and then extract the operation instruction to be expressed by the user 3 according to the sound signal and / or graphic signal. After obtaining the above operation instruction, the underwater equipment 1 can work according to the requirements of the operation instruction.

[0035] When this remote control device 2 is actually used to control an underwater device 1 located underwater, the user 3 can still use body language and / or sound to remotely control the underwater device 1 without carrying a remote control, mobile phone or other equipment. It is easy to use and has wide applicability, and has good promotion prospects and application value.

[0036] It should be pointed out that, in actual application, the remote control device 2 is set on the shore, suspended above the water body or floating on the water surface because: when the remote control device 2 is set on the shore or above the water body, it can greatly facilitate the perception module 24 to collect sound signals or image signals; and when the remote control device 2 floats on the water surface, the straight-line distance between the remote control device 2 and the underwater equipment 1 can be greatly shortened. At this time, the stability of the wireless communication connection between the remote control device 2 and the underwater equipment 1 is better, and the communication effect can be greatly improved.

[0037] Furthermore, the remote control device described in the present invention also includes a controller 22, which is respectively connected to the first communication module 21 and the perception module 24, and the controller 22 is used to receive the sound signal and / or image signal to obtain operation instructions based on the sound signal and / or image signal processing, and send the operation instructions to the first communication module 21.

[0038] In the above technical solution of the present invention, in some specific embodiments, the first communication module 21 and the perception module 24 of the above remote control device 2 can be indirectly connected to each other through the controller 22, that is, the above controller 22 can be specifically arranged between the first communication module 21 and the perception module 24, and the controller 22 can be connected to the above first communication module 21 and the perception module 24 respectively.

[0039] like Figure 1In the embodiment shown, based on this setting, in actual use, the sound signal and / or image signal of the user 3 collected by the perception module 24 of the remote control device 2 can be directly input into the controller 22, and the controller 22 can obtain the corresponding operation instruction according to the preset algorithm analysis based on the sound signal and / or image signal of the user 3. Accordingly, the operation instruction obtained by the controller 22 can be directly sent to the first communication module 21 connected thereto, and then the first communication module 21 is used to transmit the operation instruction to the underwater device 1 arranged underwater, and the underwater device 1 can be operated according to the operation instruction.

[0040] Furthermore, in the remote control device described in the present invention, the sensing module 24 includes a camera and / or a microphone.

[0041] In the above technical solution of the present invention, the perception module 24 may include a camera and / or a microphone. The camera can collect the image signal of the user 3, while the microphone can collect the sound signal of the user 3, both of which do not require the user 3 to use a handheld remote control device or perform contact operations.

[0042] It should be particularly pointed out that when a camera and a microphone are provided on the perception module 24 at the same time, these two components can selectively respond and collect signals separately, or they can cooperate with each other to achieve the synchronous collection of sound signals and image signals.

[0043] Furthermore, in the remote control device described in the present invention, the first communication module 21 includes at least one of the following: a visible light communication module, a vibration communication module, a sound communication module, an infrared communication module, an electromagnetic wave communication module and a wired optical / electrical signal communication module.

[0044] In the above technical solution of the present invention, in order to ensure that the remote control device 2 can achieve communication stability with the underwater equipment 1 arranged underwater and avoid packet loss, in actual application, the first communication module 21 includes at least one of a visible light communication module, a vibration communication module, a sound communication module, an infrared communication module, an electromagnetic wave communication module and a wired optical / electrical signal communication module. The above communication modules are well known to those skilled in the art, and their specific working principles will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Furthermore, the remote control device described in the present invention also includes a second communication module 23, and the second communication module 23 is connected to the sensing module 24 and the first communication module 21 respectively. The second communication module 23 is also wirelessly connected to the cloud server 4.

[0046] In the above technical solution of the present invention, a controller 22 is provided on the remote control device 2, and the solution of using the controller 22 to process the sound signal and / or image signal of the user 3 to obtain the operation instruction is very simple, but it should be pointed out that: the cost of the controller 22 is relatively high. If a controller 22 is provided on each remote control device 2, it will greatly increase the production cost of the remote control device 2, which is not conducive to mass production.

[0047] Therefore, in some preferred embodiments, in order to reduce production costs, a second communication module 23 can also be provided in the remote control device 2 designed by the present invention. The second communication module 23 can not only be connected to the sensing module 24 and the first communication module 21 respectively, but can also be wirelessly connected to the external cloud server 4.

[0048] That is to say, under this design, the sound signal and / or image signal collected by the perception module 24 can be uploaded to the cloud server 4 via the second communication module 23, and then the cloud server 4 can process the received sound signal and / or image signal to obtain the corresponding operation instruction. At the same time, after obtaining the operation instruction, the cloud server 4 can also transmit the operation instruction back to the second communication module 23, and the second communication module 23 then transmits the above operation instruction to the first communication module 21, so as to transmit the operation instruction to the underwater device 1 located underwater through the first communication module 21.

[0049] Furthermore, in the remote control device described in the present invention, the battery 25 is electrically connected to the first communication module 21 , the second communication module 23 and the sensing module 24 respectively to supply power to the first communication module 21 , the second communication module 23 and the sensing module 24 .

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, in the above technical solution of the present invention, under certain preferred embodiments, the above remote control device 2 may further include a battery 25. The above battery 25 may be arranged in the shell of the remote control device 2, and the battery 25 may be electrically connected to the first communication module 21, the second communication module 23 and the perception module 24 respectively to supply power to the above first communication module 21, the second communication module 23 and the perception module 24.

[0051] Of course, in some other implementations, in order to obtain a better implementation effect, a solar panel can be installed outside the housing of the remote control device 2, and the solar panel can be connected to the battery 25, and can generate electricity through solar energy and supply power to the battery 25, so as to maintain the operation of the remote control device 2 through the battery 25. In some embodiments, the remote control device 2 with the battery 25 and the solar panel can realize continuous operation without an external power supply, which can reduce the dependence on external power, and is more convenient and environmentally friendly.

[0052] Correspondingly, the present invention also discloses a remote control system for underwater equipment, which includes the above-mentioned remote control device 2 of the present invention and underwater equipment 1, wherein the underwater equipment 1 includes an equipment communication module 11, and the equipment communication module 11 is wirelessly connected to the first communication module 21 to receive operation instructions or sound signals and / or graphic signals from the remote control device 2.

[0053] In the above technical solution of the present invention, in order to realize wireless communication connection with the remote control device 2, the above underwater equipment 1 may include an equipment communication module 11, which can be wirelessly connected to the first communication module 21 in the remote control device 2, thereby receiving the operation instructions or sound signals and / or graphic signals transmitted by the first communication module 21.

[0054] Furthermore, the remote control system described in the present invention also includes a cloud server 4, which is wirelessly connected to the second communication module 23 of the remote control device 2. The second communication module 23 is used to send the sound signal and / or image signal of the user 3 collected by the perception module 24 to the cloud server 4. The cloud server 4 obtains an operation instruction based on the sound signal and / or image signal processing, and sends the operation instruction back to the second communication module 23. The second communication module 23 transmits the operation instruction to the first communication module 21, and the first communication module 21 sends the operation instruction to the device communication module 11 of the underwater device 1.

[0055] In the above remote control system of the present invention, a cloud server 4 may also be included, and a second communication module 23 is provided on the remote control device 2, and the second communication module 23 can be wirelessly connected with the external cloud server 4, such as Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the second communication module 23 can also be connected to the perception module 24 and the first communication module 21 respectively. Based on this, under this design scheme, the sound signal and / or image signal collected by the perception module 24 can be uploaded to the cloud server 4 via the second communication module 23, and then the cloud server 4 processes the sound signal and / or image signal and obtains the corresponding operation instruction, and transmits the obtained operation instruction back to the second communication module 23; after receiving the operation instruction transmitted from the cloud server 4, the second communication module 23 can directly transmit the operation instruction to the first communication module 21, so as to transmit the operation instruction to the underwater device 1 located underwater through the first communication module 21.

[0056] Furthermore, in the remote control system described in the present invention, the underwater device 1 also includes a processor, which is connected to the device communication module 11, and the processor obtains operation instructions based on the sound signal and / or image signal processing.

[0057] In the present invention, in order to simplify the structure of the remote control device 2 and reduce the cost of the remote control device 2, in some preferred embodiments, the remote control system can also be optimized and the remote control method can be changed, that is, the above-mentioned remote control device 2 may not need to process the sound signal and / or image signal, and there is also a situation where the first communication module 21 directly transmits the above-mentioned sound signal and / or image signal to the underwater equipment 1.

[0058] To this end, the underwater device 1 needs to be able to extract the operation instructions of the user 3 according to the sound signal and / or the image signal. Therefore, in some embodiments, the underwater device 1 can also be provided with a processor, and the processor can be connected to the device communication module 11, and the device communication module 11 can receive the sound signal and / or the image signal of the user 3 transmitted by the first communication module 21, and input the above signal to the processor, and the processor can obtain the operation instruction based on the sound signal and / or the image signal.

[0059] Furthermore, in the remote control system of the present invention, the underwater device 1 further includes a chemical substance release module 12, and the chemical substance release module 12 is connected to the device communication module 11 and the processor respectively.

[0060] In the above technical solution of the present invention, the above underwater device 1 also includes a chemical release module 12, which can be used to control the release of chemical substances, such as the release of some water cleaning chemicals. The chemical release module 12 can be connected to the device communication module 11 and the processor respectively.

[0061] When the device communication module 11 receives an operation instruction to release chemicals, the chemical release module 12 executes the instruction and releases the chemicals; when the processor analyzes the operation instruction to release chemicals based on the sound signal and / or image signal received by the device communication module 11, the chemical release module 12 executes the operation instruction and releases the chemicals.

[0062] In addition, the present invention also discloses a remote control method for underwater equipment, which includes the steps of: collecting and acquiring sound signals and / or image signals about user 3; obtaining operation instructions based on the acquired sound signals and / or image signals of user 3; sending the operation instructions to underwater equipment 1; and the underwater equipment 1 performs corresponding operations according to the operation instructions.

[0063] Furthermore, in the remote control method, the operation instruction is obtained based on the acquired sound signal and / or image signal of user 3, specifically: the acquired sound signal and / or image signal of user 3 is sent to the cloud server 4, and the cloud server 4 obtains the operation instruction based on the sound signal and / or image signal processing.

[0064] In addition, in some other embodiments, the present invention also adopts another remote control method for underwater equipment, which includes the steps of: collecting and acquiring sound signals and / or image signals about user 3; sending the acquired sound signals and / or image signals of user 3 to underwater equipment 1; said underwater equipment 1 obtains operation instructions based on said sound signals and / or image signals; and said underwater equipment 1 performs corresponding operations according to the operation instructions.

[0065] Embodiment 1:

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention is: a remote control system for underwater equipment, which includes an underwater equipment 1 and a remote control device 2. When the underwater equipment 1 is disposed underwater and the remote control device 2 is disposed floating on the water surface, the straight-line distance between the remote control device 2 floating on the water surface and the underwater equipment 1 disposed underwater is quite short, and the stability of the wireless communication connection between the remote control device 2 and the underwater equipment 1 is better.

[0067] In this embodiment, the remote control device 2 specifically includes a perception module 24, a controller 22 and a first communication module 21, and the controller 22 is respectively connected to the first communication module 21 and the perception module 24. The perception module 24 of the remote control device 2 includes a camera and / or a microphone, which are respectively used to collect the sound signal and / or image signal of the user 3. At this time, the collected sound signal and / or image signal can be correspondingly transmitted to the controller 22, and the controller 22 can obtain the corresponding operation instruction after processing and analyzing the received sound signal and / or image signal, and the controller 22 can transmit the obtained operation instruction to the first communication module 21.

[0068] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the staff specifically selects a visible light communication module, a vibration communication module, a sound communication module, an infrared communication module and an electromagnetic wave communication module as the first communication module 21 .

[0069] Further reading Figure 1 It can be seen that in the first embodiment, the underwater device 1 in the remote control system specifically includes: a device communication module 11 and a chemical release module 12, and the device communication module 11 is connected to the chemical release module 12. The device communication module 11 can also establish a wireless communication connection with the first communication module 21 of the remote control device 2.

[0070] That is to say, in this embodiment, the operation instruction obtained by the remote control device 2 after processing and analyzing the sound signal and / or the image signal can be transmitted to the device communication module 11 of the underwater device 1 through the first communication module 21, and the underwater device 1 can perform the corresponding operation after receiving the operation instruction. For example, taking the control of the chemical release module 12 in the underwater device 1 to release chemical substances as an example, when the device communication module 11 of the underwater device 1 receives the operation instruction to release chemical substances, the chemical release module 12 of the underwater device 1 can execute the operation instruction and release chemical substances.

[0071] In addition, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the remote control device 2 is also provided with a second communication module 23 and a battery 25. The second communication module 23 is connected to the sensing module 24 and the first communication module 21 respectively, and the second communication module 23 is also used to establish a wireless communication connection with an external cloud server 4. However, since the cloud server 4 is not provided in the remote control system of the first embodiment, the second communication module 23 provided in the remote control device 2 of the first embodiment does not actually work.

[0072] Accordingly, in this embodiment, the battery 25 arranged in the remote control device 2 can be electrically connected to the first communication module 21, the second communication module 23 and the sensing module 24 respectively to supply power to the first communication module 21, the second communication module 23 and the sensing module 24, thereby being independent of external power supply, making the remote control device 2 easier to use.

[0073] Embodiment 2:

[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The remote control system of the second embodiment shown also has an underwater device 1 and a remote control device 2, and the structures of the underwater device 1 and the remote control device 2 used in the remote control system of the second embodiment are completely the same as those of the underwater device 1 and the remote control device 2 used in the remote control system of the first embodiment. At the same time, the remote control method used by the remote control system of the second embodiment to remotely control the underwater device 1 is also the same as that of the remote control system of the first embodiment.

[0075] However, it should be pointed out that the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that in the second embodiment, the remote control device 2 is set on the shore. The reason why the remote control device 2 is set on the shore is that the remote control device 2 set on the shore can more conveniently collect sound signals and / or image signals through its own sensing module 24.

[0076] Embodiment three:

[0077] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The remote control system of the third embodiment shown also has an underwater device 1 and a remote control device 2, and the structures of the underwater device 1 and the remote control device 2 used in the remote control system of the third embodiment are completely the same as those of the remote control system of the first embodiment. In addition, in the third embodiment, the remote control device 2 in the remote control system is also floated on the water surface.

[0078] However, it should be pointed out that the difference between the remote control system of the present embodiment 3 and the above-mentioned embodiment 1 is that: in the present embodiment 3, in addition to the underwater equipment 1 and the remote control device 2, the remote control system is also provided with and includes a cloud server 4, and the cloud server 4 can establish a wireless communication connection with the second communication module 23 in the remote control device 2.

[0079] It should be noted that, since the remote control system of the third embodiment also includes a cloud server 4, the remote control system of the third embodiment implements the remote control method of the underwater device 1 in the following two schemes:

[0080] (1) The perception module 24 of the remote control device 2 collects the sound signal and / or image signal of the user 3, and the above-mentioned perception module 24 transmits the sound signal and / or image signal to the second communication module 23, and the second communication module 23 transmits the received sound signal and / or image signal to the cloud server 4. At this time, the cloud server 4 can process and analyze the received sound signal and / or image signal to obtain the corresponding operation instruction, and at the same time transmit the obtained operation instruction back to the second communication module 23. The second communication module 23 then transmits the operation instruction received from the cloud server 4 to the first communication module 21, and then transmits it to the device communication module 11 of the underwater device 1 through the first communication module 21; when the device communication module 11 of the underwater device 1 receives the corresponding operation instruction, the underwater device 1 can perform the corresponding operation according to the operation instruction.

[0081] (2) The perception module 24 of the remote control device 2 collects the sound signal and / or image signal of the user 3, and the above-mentioned perception module 24 transmits the sound signal and / or image signal to the controller 22. The controller 22 can process and analyze the received sound signal and / or image signal to obtain the corresponding operation instruction, and at the same time transmit the obtained operation instruction to the first communication module 21, and then transmit it to the device communication module 11 of the underwater device 1 through the first communication module 21; when the device communication module 11 of the underwater device 1 receives the corresponding operation instruction, the underwater device 1 can perform the corresponding operation according to the operation instruction.

[0082] Embodiment 4:

[0083] Similar to the above-mentioned embodiment 1, in the embodiment 4 designed by the present invention, the remote control system of the embodiment 4 also only includes underwater equipment 1 and remote control device 2, and the underwater equipment 1 in the remote control system is arranged underwater, and the remote control device 2 floats on the water surface.

[0084] However, it should be pointed out that the difference between the remote control system of this embodiment and the remote control system of the above-mentioned embodiment one is that: in this embodiment four, the remote control device 2 in the remote control system does not include a controller 22, and the underwater equipment 1 in the remote control system is also provided with a processor; wherein, in the underwater equipment 1, the processor can be connected to the equipment communication module 11 and the chemical release module 12 respectively.

[0085] That is to say, in this fourth embodiment, the perception module 24 in the remote control device 2 is directly connected to the first communication module 21. At this time, the perception module 24 can effectively collect the sound signal and / or image signal of the user 3, and transmit the above sound signal and / or image signal directly to the first communication module 21.

[0086] Correspondingly, the first communication module 21 is wirelessly connected to the device communication module 11 of the underwater device 1, and the first communication module 21 can wirelessly transmit the received sound signal and / or image signal to the device communication module 11 of the underwater device 1. At this time, the device communication module 11 can transmit the sound signal and / or image signal to the processor, so that the processor can process the received sound signal and / or image signal and obtain the corresponding operation instruction; according to the obtained operation instruction, the underwater device 1 can perform the corresponding operation according to the operation instruction.

[0087] For example, taking controlling the chemical release module 12 in the underwater equipment 1 to release chemical substances as an example, when the device communication module 11 of the underwater equipment 1 transmits the received sound signal and / or image signal to the processor, and the processor obtains an operation instruction based on the sound signal and / or image signal processing, which is an operation instruction for releasing chemical substances, the processor can control the chemical release module 12 to work, and at this time the chemical release module 12 can execute the operation instruction and release chemical substances.

[0088] From the above, it can be seen that in the remote control device, system and method for underwater equipment designed by the present invention, the inventor has optimized and designed a remote control device, system and method for underwater equipment. The remote control device can be specifically set on the shore, suspended above the water body or floating on the water surface. It does not need to be carried by the operator. The user only needs to use body language or sound to express the operation he needs to implement at a position where the remote control device can observe. The remote control device can collect the user's voice signal and / or graphic signal in real time, and then extract the operation instruction that the user wants to express based on the obtained voice signal and / or graphic signal. After obtaining the above operation instruction, the underwater equipment can work according to the requirements of the operation instruction. Through this design, the user can still use body language and sound to remotely control the underwater equipment without carrying remote controllers, mobile phones and other devices. It is easy to use and has a wide range of applicability.
