Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water cleaning devices, and in particular to a water quality detection base station for a pool. Background Art

[0002] In addition to using a pool cleaning robot to clean the pool, water cleaning technology also requires testing the water quality in the pool. General water quality testing devices have complex structures and high power consumption, and are unable to communicate and interact with the pool cleaning robot.

[0003] In addition, existing water quality testing equipment is generally not replaceable, and the testing items are fixed. Users need to purchase new items if they want to test new items later, which causes waste; it does not support the replacement of water quality testing modules, and cannot facilitate users to freely match testing items. In addition, it does not have the function of detecting the presence of the water quality testing module, so that the user cannot turn off the power supply in time when the water quality testing module is not installed, resulting in technical problems such as power consumption loss.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to design corresponding technical solutions to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects, the present application proposes a water quality detection base station for a pool.

[0007] In a possible implementation, the detection device includes a magnetic position detection sensor or a photoelectric detection sensor.

[0008] In a possible implementation manner, when the detection device includes a Hall detection sensor, a Hall magnet is provided on the water quality detection module.

[0009] In a possible implementation manner, the Hall magnet is disposed on the upper part or the lower part of the water quality detection module.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the water quality detection module includes a plurality of water quality detection sensors, and the detection device is capable of detecting the installation status of each water quality detection sensor.

[0011] In a possible implementation, the power supply module supplies power to multiple water quality detection sensors individually.

[0012] In a possible implementation manner, the control device controls the power supply module to supply power to the corresponding water quality detection module based on the detection signal of each water quality detection sensor generated by the detection device.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the mounting portion includes a switching circuit, and the switching circuit is used to electrically connect the water quality detection sensor and the power supply module respectively.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the power supply module includes a battery or a solar cell.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the installation status includes the water quality detection sensor being installed on the installation portion and connected to the switching circuit, the water quality detection sensor being installed on the installation portion but not connected to the switching circuit, or the water quality detection sensor being not installed on the installation portion.

[0016] In one possible embodiment, when the installation status is that the water quality detection sensor is installed on the installation part and connected to the adapter circuit, the control device prompts that the water quality detection sensor has been installed in place; when the installation status is that the water quality detection sensor is installed on the installation part but not connected to the adapter circuit, the control device prompts that the water quality detection sensor is not installed in place; when the installation status is that the water quality detection sensor is not installed on the installation part, the control device controls the power supply module and the adapter circuit to be non-conductive.

[0019] Furthermore, this case also separately controls individual water quality detection modules, that is, the water quality detection modules that are installed in place can be powered on, and the locations where the water quality detection modules are not installed or not installed in place will not be powered on, which not only protects the safety of the equipment itself, but also reduces unnecessary losses.

[0025] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present application in detail, the following is an explanation in combination with the implementation methods and the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The water pool base station of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The present application discloses a water pool detection base station 100, including a power supply module 10, a water quality detection module 30, a control device and a detection device 40, the water quality detection module 30 includes a mounting portion 32 and a water quality detection sensor 31, the power supply module 10 is arranged on the upper part of the water pool detection base station 100, and is used to supply power to the water quality detection module 30, the water quality detection module 30 is arranged below the power supply module 10 on the water pool detection base station 100, the water quality detection sensor 31 is detachably mounted on the mounting portion 32, the water pool detection base station 100 can float on the water surface or suspend in the water when working, and the water quality detection module 30 is located below the waterline.

[0028] It can be understood that the water quality detection module 30 includes a water quality detection sensor 31 and a mounting portion 32 , and the water quality detection sensor 31 is detachably mounted on the mounting portion 32 to ensure the replaceability of the water quality detection sensor 31 .

[0029] In addition, a detection device 40 is provided for detecting the installation state of the water quality detection sensor 31, and the control device controls the conduction state of the power supply module according to the installation state. Specifically, when the water quality detection sensor 31 is installed in the installation portion 32, there may be several installation states, and only when it is installed in place, the power supply module 10 will supply power to the water quality detection sensor 31. In this way, it is ensured that the pool detection base station 100 will not fail to detect the water quality detection sensor 31 because it is not installed in place, or the water quality detection sensor 31 is not installed in place and the power supply is turned on.

[0030] In a possible implementation, the detection device 40 includes a magnetic position detection sensor or a photoelectric detection sensor.

[0031] It can be understood that the magnetic position detection sensor uses the relative movement between the permanent magnet and the magnetic detector to change the magnetic field, thereby detecting the position of the object; the most common Hall effect sensor. The photoelectric detection sensor uses a light beam to illuminate the grating, and the photoelectric detector measures the light, thereby generating a position signal. It can be seen that a variety of detection sensors can be used to detect the relative installation position of the water quality detection sensor 31 and the installation part 32. As for other sensors, they will not be described one by one here.

[0032] In a possible implementation manner, when the detection device includes a Hall detection sensor 402 , a Hall magnet 401 is provided on the water quality detection sensor.

[0033] In a possible implementation manner, the Hall magnet 401 is disposed on the upper part or the lower part of the water quality detection sensor.

[0034] It can be understood that, for example, the Hall magnet is arranged on the upper part of the water quality detection sensor 31, and the power supply module or the mounting portion 32 is provided with a Hall sensor. When the water quality detection sensor 31 is installed in place, the Hall magnet and the Hall sensor are positioned relative to each other. At this time, the Hall sensor detects a signal, indicating that the water quality detection sensor 31 has been installed in place. Of course, the Hall magnet can also be arranged anywhere on the water quality detection sensor 31, and the Hall sensor only needs to be installed in a corresponding position, and can be selected and designed according to the structure of the actual product. Furthermore, the Hall sensor can also be arranged on the water quality detection sensor 31, and the Hall magnet is arranged on one side of the power supply module or the mounting portion 32, which will not be elaborated in detail here.

[0035] In a possible implementation, the water quality detection module includes a plurality of water quality detection sensors 31, and the detection device is capable of detecting the installation status of each water quality detection sensor.

[0036] It can be understood that the replaceable water quality detection sensor 31 enables the pool detection base station 100 to have multiple possibilities of carrying different pool detection sensors such as pH, alkalinity, residual chlorine, temperature, total hardness, TDS, ORP, salinity, etc. The installation status of each water quality detection sensor can be monitored by the detection device, so that each water quality detection sensor can be individually controlled according to its installation status.

[0037] In a possible implementation, the power supply module supplies power to a plurality of water quality detection sensors individually. The control device controls the power supply module to supply power to the corresponding water quality detection sensor individually based on the detection signal of each water quality detection sensor from the detection device.

[0038] It can be understood that each water quality detection sensor is configured with a separate power supply circuit, and then the installation status of each water quality detection sensor is detected according to the detection device, and a detection signal is output. The control device controls the power supply circuit of each water quality detection sensor separately based on the detection signal. Through such a design, the water quality detection base station can realize the separate control of each water quality detection sensor, so that when a water quality detection sensor is not installed in a certain accommodating cavity, the corresponding power supply circuit will not be energized, so that the power supply port or electrode corresponding to the water quality detection sensor can be reduced. Corrosion or electrolysis in water due to power on can be reduced, thereby increasing the service life of the equipment and reducing power consumption.

[0039] In a possible implementation, the mounting portion includes a switching circuit, and the switching circuit is used to electrically connect the water quality detection sensor and the power supply module respectively.

[0040] Understandable, such as Figure 3 As shown, the power supply module 10 may include a charging module 11 and a battery 13, and the charging module 11 can charge the battery 13; the adapter circuit is arranged on a PCB circuit board, and is used to be electrically connected to the water quality detection sensor and the power supply module. When the power supply module is turned on, the power supply module is turned on by the adapter circuit, thereby supplying power to the water quality detection sensor.

[0041] In a possible implementation, the battery includes a storage battery or a solar cell. The type of the battery is not particularly limited, as long as it can store electrical energy.

[0042] In a possible implementation, the installation status includes the water quality detection sensor being installed on the installation portion and connected to the switching circuit, the water quality detection sensor being installed on the installation portion but not connected to the switching circuit, or the water quality detection sensor being not installed on the installation portion.

[0043] It can be understood that the installation status is detected by the detection device. When the detection device detects a signal, it indicates that the water quality detection sensor has been installed in the detection base station, and the water quality detection sensor is electrically connected to the power supply module; if it is not installed in place, the water quality detection sensor is not connected to the switching circuit. When the detection device detects no signal, it indicates that the water quality detection sensor is not installed in the detection base station, and the water quality detection sensor is not electrically connected to the power supply module. Specifically, when the detection device uses a Hall sensor and a Hall magnet, the detection device can detect the signal when the Hall sensor and the Hall magnet are fully aligned or there is a slight deviation between the two. Of course, the structure can also be designed so that the water quality detection sensor can only be installed in the detection base station when the Hall sensor and the Hall magnet are fully aligned, thereby avoiding some other installation problems.

[0044] In one possible embodiment, when the installation status is that the water quality detection sensor is installed on the installation part and connected to the adapter circuit, the control device prompts that the water quality detection sensor has been installed in place; when the installation status is that the water quality detection sensor is installed on the installation part but not connected to the adapter circuit, the control device prompts that the water quality detection sensor is not installed in place; when the installation status is that the water quality detection sensor is not installed on the installation part, the control device controls the power supply module and the adapter circuit to be non-conductive.

[0045] It can be understood that the control device can control whether the power supply module supplies power according to the installation status of the water quality detection sensor, and can also feed back to the user the installation status of the water quality detection sensor or the status of the pool detection base station according to the installation status. When the installation status is that the water quality detection sensor is installed in the installation part and connected to the switching circuit, the control device sends a power supply module conduction signal and prompts that the water quality detection sensor has been installed in place; when the installation status is that the water quality detection sensor is installed in the installation part but not connected to the switching circuit, the control device does not send the power supply module conduction signal and prompts that the water quality detection sensor is not installed in place; when the installation status is that the water quality detection sensor is not installed in the detection base station, the control device does not send the power supply module conduction signal and prompts that the water quality detection sensor is not installed. As for how to provide the corresponding status to the user, the following forms can be used but are not limited: for example, a light display is set on the pool detection base station. When the light is green, it means that the water quality detection sensor is installed in place and the power supply module is supplying power normally. When the light is red, it means that the water quality detection sensor is not installed. In addition, the status information can be transmitted to the mobile device through the communication module, and the user can view the status of the pool detection base station through the mobile device.

[0046] In a possible implementation, the water quality detection base station further includes a communication module for communicating with the control device, and the communication module is used to communicate with the mobile terminal.

[0047] It can be understood that the water pool detection base station 100 also includes a communication module 70, which is arranged on the upper part of the water pool detection base station 100, and the communication module 70 is connected to the control device for communication, and the communication module 70 is used to communicate with the terminal device on the water or the user terminal. The communication module 70 can communicate with the terminal device on the water or the user terminal, so that the water quality detection data, the power of the water pool detection base station 100, the status of the underwater equipment and other information can be interacted with the user through the communication module 70, and the user can also control the underwater equipment through the communication module 70 of the water pool detection base station 100. The application scenarios of the water pool detection base station 100 are enriched.

[0048] When using this product, after installing the water quality detection sensor 31, install the shell 101, put the pool detection base station 100 into the pool water, the power supply module 10 switches to supply power to the pool detection base station, the water quality detection sensor detects the water quality of the pool water and transmits it, the communication module 70 communicates with the terminal device to display the water quality information or the information of the underwater equipment, and the terminal device can also interact and communicate with the underwater equipment through the pool detection base station.
