[0032] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is an explanation in conjunction with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0033] The present application relates to a telescopic fixed structure suitable for underwater use, wherein the telescopic fixed structure comprises a accommodating space, a telescopic member and a driving member, wherein the accommodating space is used to accommodate a detachable member, and when the driving member is moved, the telescopic member can be displaced relative to the accommodating space, so that the detachable member placed in the accommodating space is abutted by the telescopic member and fastened to the accommodating space.

[0034] It can be understood that the detachable components include sensor modules, detection modules, communication modules, batteries or lighting devices, etc. The quick-release function of these components has been realized to facilitate replacement by users.

[0035] The telescopic fixing structure is suitable for underwater use, and is used to fasten and install a detachable component in an accommodating space. It can be understood that when the telescopic fixing structure is used for a pool base station, the detachable component is a water quality detection sensor.

[0036] The following uses the removable component as a water quality detection sensor as an example, based on a water pool base station to introduce the telescopic fixed structure. Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The water pool base station 100 includes a water quality detection module 30 for detecting water quality, and the water quality detection module 30 includes at least one water quality detection sensor 31. The water pool base station includes a telescopic fixed structure 50, and the telescopic fixed structure 50 includes an accommodating space 131. The water quality detection sensor 31 is detachably installed in the accommodating space 131. The telescopic fixed structure 50 is used to reduce the longitudinal accommodating space of the accommodating space 131 to tighten the water quality detection sensor 31 in the accommodating space 131.

[0037] The water quality detection sensor 31 described in the present application is detachably installed in the accommodation space 131 of the pool base station 100, ensuring the replaceability of the water quality detection sensor 31. The replaceable water quality detection sensor 31 enables the pool base station 100 to have the possibility of carrying different water quality detection sensors 31 such as pH, alkalinity, residual chlorine, temperature, total hardness, TDS, ORP, salinity, etc. At the same time, since the life of the sensor is limited, the replaceable water quality detection sensor 31 also extends the service life of the pool base station 100.

[0038] The water quality detection sensor 31 is fastened and installed by the telescopic fixing structure 50. The telescopic fixing structure 50 makes the installation of the water quality detection sensor 31 simple and convenient, and makes the water quality detection sensor 31 sealedly connected to the water pool base station, while also ensuring the reliability of communication between the water quality detection sensor 31 and the water pool base station 100.

[0039] In a possible implementation, the water pool base station 100 further includes a control module. When the water quality detection sensor 31 is installed in the accommodating space 131, the water quality detection sensor 31 is electrically connected to the control module. The telescopic fixing structure 50 is used to ensure the reliability of the communication between the water quality detection sensor 31 and the control module. The communication connection between the control module and the water quality detection sensor 31 is in a sealed state, thereby preventing the pool water from entering the connection between the water quality detection sensor 31 and the control module when the water pool base station 100 is working and then destroying the electrical connection.

[0040] The telescopic fixing structure 50 also includes a telescopic member 52 and a driving member 54 . When the driving member 54 is moved, the telescopic member 52 can be displaced relative to the accommodating space 131 , so that the detachable component placed in the accommodating space 131 is abutted by the telescopic member 52 and fastened to the accommodating space 131 . The driving member 54 includes a rotating member or a pushing member, and the movement includes rotation or pushing. When the telescopic member 52 is displaced relative to the accommodating space 131, the telescopic member 52 is at least partially located in the accommodating space 131, and the driving member 54 is at least partially located outside the accommodating space 131.

[0041] In one possible implementation, when the driving member 54 includes a rotating member, the rotation axis of the rotating action is parallel to the displacement direction. In another possible implementation, when the driving member 54 includes a pushing member, the pushing direction of the pushing action is parallel to the displacement direction. It can be understood that the driving member 54 is fixedly connected or movably connected to the telescopic member 52.

[0042] The telescopic part is displaced by simple rotation or pushing to tighten the detachable part, thereby enhancing the reliability of the sealing and electrical connection of the detachable part. The telescopic part can be reset by reverse rotation or reverse pushing to realize the quick release of the detachable part. The structure is simple, reliable and easy to use.

[0043] In a possible embodiment, the telescopic member 52 abuts against the bottom of the water quality detection sensor 31, and the displacement of the telescopic member 52 drives the displacement of the water quality detection sensor 31 so that the other end of the water quality detection sensor 31 relative to the bottom is sealed against the accommodating space 131, thereby fastening the water quality detection sensor.

[0044] The accommodation space includes a side wall 133, and the telescopic member 52 can pass through the side wall 133 to be displaced relative to the accommodation space 131. In a possible implementation, the telescopic member 52 includes an abutment column 521, and the abutment column 521 passes through the side wall 133 to abut the detachable component.

[0045] In a possible implementation, the number of the abutment columns 521 is three, and the pool base station 100 can carry three water quality detection sensors 31. One rotation or push can complete the sealing and fastening of the three water quality detection sensors 31, thereby realizing multi-directional water quality detection.

[0046] It can be understood that the driving member 54 includes a rotating member or a pushing member, and the movement includes rotation or pushing. The following description takes the rotating member as an example.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 In a possible embodiment, the driving member 54 surrounds at least a portion of the telescopic member 52, and the driving member 54 and the telescopic member 52 are in contact with each other through at least one inclined surface. The driving member 54 and the telescopic member 52 are in contact with each other through the inclined surface, so that when the driving member 54 rotates or pushes, the telescopic member 52 climbs the inclined surface and moves. It can be understood that the inclined surface is a spiral inclined surface.

[0048] Specifically, the inner circle of the bottom surface of the driving member 54 is provided with at least one first slope 543 facing the telescopic member 52, and the first slope 545 of the first slope 543 abuts against the telescopic member 52. The telescopic member 52 is provided with at least one second slope 523 facing the driving member 54, and the second slope 525 of the second slope 523 abuts against the driving member 54.

[0049] In a possible embodiment, the first inclined surface 545 and the second inclined surface 525 exist at the same time and abut against each other, and during the rotation or pushing process of the driving member 54, the first inclined surface 545 and the second inclined surface 525 move relative to each other to cause the telescopic member 52 to be displaced. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the inclined surface can be set only on the driving member 54 or the telescopic member 52, and the other component can be correspondingly set with a shaft or a ball or other possible climbing structure, and the climbing structure climbs or descends relative to the inclined surface, thereby achieving the required displacement of the telescopic member 52.

[0050] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the first slope and the second slope are both spiral slopes, the number of the first slopes 543 is three, and the number of the second slopes 523 is also set to three, so as to ensure the stability of the relative movement between the telescopic member 52 and the driving member 54. In other embodiments, the number of the slopes can be set as needed.

[0051] It can be understood that the outer periphery of the driving member 54 is also provided with a groove to facilitate the user's rotation.

[0052] In a possible implementation, the telescopic fixing structure 50 further includes an elastic member 56, which is installed between the accommodating space and the telescopic member 52. The elastic member 56 abuts against the telescopic member 52 to resist the displacement of the telescopic member 52. When the detachable component is fastened to the accommodating space by the telescopic member 52, the elastic member 56 is in a compressed state to assist the resetting of the telescopic member 52.

[0053] Thus, when the driving member 54 rotates or pushes in the reverse direction, the elastic force of the elastic member 56 causes the telescopic member 52 to retract to continue to abut against the driving member 54 , thereby assisting the resetting of the telescopic member 52 .

[0054] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 In a possible embodiment, the telescopic fixing structure 50 further includes a limiting structure 58. When installed in place, the limiting structure 58 provides the user with tactile feedback of rotation or pushing into place and / or limits the continued rotation or pushing of the driving member 54 to indicate that the detachable component is installed in place.

[0055] In a possible embodiment, the limiting structure 58 includes a protrusion 581 and a recess 583, and one of the protrusion 581 and the recess 583 is arranged on the driving member 54 so that when the driving member rotates or pushes, it follows the movement of the driving member to cooperate with another component of the limiting structure.

[0056] The protrusion 581 or the recess 583 is located at the free end of an elastic arm, so that the driving member interferes with the elastic arm during the rotation or pushing process, and the protrusion 581 is engaged with the recess 583 at the expected position. The elasticity of the elastic arm can generate tactile feedback when the protrusion 581 is engaged with the recess 583 and / or limit the continued rotation or pushing of the driving member 54.

[0057] It can be understood that the limiting structure 58 is not limited to protrusions and depressions, but can also be any other structure that limits the circumferential rotation or pushing of the driving member 54.

[0058] During installation, after placing the water quality detection sensor 31 in the accommodating space 131, rotate or push the driving member 54. Due to the setting of the slope, the telescopic member 52 extends out of the side wall 133 to abut the water quality detection sensor 31. Continued rotation or pushing of the driving member makes the water quality detection sensor abut against the accommodating space 131 more tightly and the seal more reliably. After the protrusion 581 and the recess 583 of the limiting structure 58 cooperate, the user is reminded that the water quality detection sensor is installed and can be used normally.

[0059] When the water quality detection sensor 31 needs to be replaced or removed, the driving member is rotated or pushed in reverse, the protrusion 581 and the recess 583 are separated from each other, the telescopic member 52 retracts due to the action of the slope, and the water quality detection sensor is separated from the accommodating space, so that the water quality detection sensor can be replaced or removed.

[0060] The telescopic fixing structure 50 described above is used in the water pool base station 100, so that the water quality detection sensor in the water pool base station can be installed thereon in a sealed and tight manner. It can be understood that the telescopic fixing structure can also be used in other aspects, such as being used on underwater equipment to realize the detachable battery of the underwater equipment. The detachable component is a battery, and the accommodating space is a battery compartment of the underwater equipment. The telescopic fixing structure 50 acts on the battery so that the battery can be installed in the battery compartment of the underwater equipment in a sealed and tight manner.

[0061] It is understandable that the underwater device is an automatic pool cleaning device. The automatic pool cleaning device can work underwater or on the water surface to clean the dirt in the pool.
