Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and more specifically, relates to a belt wheel fixing structure and a swimming pool cleaning robot. Background Art

[0002] The pool cleaning robot can move on the bottom and side walls of the swimming pool, and remove dirt in the swimming pool by filtering and scrubbing. It can replace manpower to clean the swimming pool, and has a high cleaning efficiency. It can reach every corner of the swimming pool, including some areas that are difficult to clean manually.

[0003] Tracked pool cleaning robots can use a pulley transmission mechanism to drive the tracks to move the robot to the cleaning area. However, the pulley is generally installed directly on the main shell of the robot, which requires high precision for the assembly of the pulley and the main shell, and the rotation is not smooth and has high resistance, which in turn causes the motor to have high current and is prone to heat damage, directly affecting the service life of the robot and the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a pulley fixing structure and a swimming pool cleaning robot to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the pulley is directly installed on the main housing of the robot, resulting in unsmooth rotation.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: to provide a pulley fixing structure for a pulley transmission mechanism, including a main housing, a synchronous pulley and a rotating bearing, the main housing having a first circumferential portion, the synchronous pulley being used for transmission in cooperation with a synchronous belt, the synchronous pulley including a pulley disc and a second circumferential portion axially extending from the pulley disc, the first circumferential portion and the second circumferential portion being coaxially arranged, and the rotating bearing being fixed between the first circumferential portion and the second circumferential portion.

[0006] In the above scheme, the pulley fixing structure includes a main shell, a synchronous pulley and a rotating bearing. The synchronous pulley includes a pulley disc and a second circumferential portion. The main shell has a first circumferential portion. The rotating bearing is arranged between the first circumferential portion and the second circumferential portion, so that the rotation of the synchronous pulley relative to the main shell is smoother, with less resistance, small motor current, stable operation, and durable, which directly increases the service life of the swimming pool robot and improves the user experience.

[0007] Optionally, the pulley fixing structure also includes a limiting pressure plate and a locking piece. The second circumferential portion is arranged on the outer periphery of the first circumferential portion. The outer circumferential wall of the first circumferential portion has a step structure. The inner wall of the second circumferential portion extends radially inward to form a limiting portion. The locking piece passes through the pressure plate and is locked to the first circumferential portion, so that the rotating bearing and the limiting portion are axially pressed at the step structure.

[0008] In the above scheme, by setting the limiting pressure plate and the locking member, the first circumferential portion, the second circumferential portion and the rotating bearing can be axially limited and locked to prevent the second circumferential portion and the rotating bearing from axially moving relative to the first circumferential portion.

[0009] Optionally, the number of the rotating bearings is two, and the step structure, one of the rotating bearings, the limiting portion, the other rotating bearing, and the limiting pressure plate are arranged in sequence along the axial direction, the limiting portion extends to abut against the outer ring of the rotating bearing, and the limiting portion is spaced apart from the first circumferential portion.

[0010] In the above scheme, by providing two rotating bearings, at least two supporting positions can be provided between the first circumferential portion and the second circumferential portion, thereby making the rotation of the second circumferential portion relative to the first circumferential portion more stable and the rotation of the synchronous pulley smoother.

[0011] Optionally, the limiting portion includes a first limiting segment and a second limiting segment connected to each other, the axial width of the first limiting segment is smaller than the axial width of the second limiting segment, and one end of the first limiting segment abuts against the outer ring of one of the rotating bearings.

[0012] In the above scheme, by providing the first limiting section and the second limiting section with different axial widths, and making the limiting part only abut against the outer ring of the rotating bearing, the normal rotation of the rotating bearing is ensured, and the limiting part can be easier to install.

[0013] Optionally, the pulley fixing structure also includes a fixed bracket and a roller brush assembly, the fixed bracket includes a fixed plate and a fixed shaft connected to each other, the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the pulley disc, and the fixed shaft is arranged through the first circumferential portion; the fixed shaft is a hollow structure, and the roller brush rotating shaft of the roller brush assembly is arranged through the fixed shaft.

[0014] In the above scheme, the synchronous pulley and the roller brush assembly are moved synchronously by setting a fixed bracket. In this way, when the swimming pool cleaning robot moves, the roller brush assembly rolls at the same time. There is no need to set up an additional roller brush driving mechanism, which reduces the power system of the swimming pool cleaning robot, makes the swimming pool cleaning robot have fewer parts, and is easier to assemble.

[0015] Optionally, the roller brush assembly includes a roller brush shaft and a roller brush body sleeved on the roller brush shaft, a transmission hole is opened at one end of the roller brush body, and one end of the fixed shaft has a transmission part for extending into the transmission hole, and the transmission part and the transmission hole cooperate with each other to make the fixed shaft and the roller brush body rotate synchronously.

[0016] In the above scheme, a transmission hole is set at one end of the roller brush body, and a transmission part is set at one end of the fixed shaft. The rotation of the fixed bracket is transmitted to the roller brush body through the mutual cooperation of the transmission hole and the transmission part, and the rotation of the roller brush body is realized without the need for other fixed structures.

[0017] Optionally, the roller brush body includes a roller brush bracket and bristles fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the roller brush bracket, the roller brush bracket includes a roller brush cylinder and a roller brush end wall connected to one end of the roller brush cylinder, the roller brush end wall is recessed to form the transmission hole, and the roller brush end wall is provided with a shaft hole at the bottom of the transmission hole, and the shaft hole extends axially to form a wrapping wall, and the wrapping wall is for the roller brush shaft to pass through.

[0018] In the above scheme, the bottom of the transmission hole stops the transmission part, forming an axial limit for the fixed shaft and the roller brush body. By extending the wrapping wall at the bottom of the transmission hole, the roller brush shaft can be radially limited, so that when the roller brush shaft is connected to the roller brush bracket, the connection is more stable, the shaking of the roller brush shaft is reduced, and the quality of the robot is improved.

[0019] Optionally, the roller brush shaft extends out of the fixed bracket, and a retaining spring is fixed to the extended end of the roller brush shaft.

[0020] In the above solution, the axial positions of the fixed bracket and the roller brush shaft can be positioned by setting the retaining spring, thereby preventing the roller brush shaft from moving inside the fixed bracket.

[0021] Optionally, the fixing plate extends toward the pulley disc to form an annular positioning portion, and the annular positioning portion extends into the interior of the second circumferential portion.

[0022] In the above solution, by providing the annular positioning portion, when the fixing bracket is installed, the cooperation between the annular positioning portion and the second circumferential portion can radially position the fixing bracket to prevent the fixing bracket from being misplaced during installation.

[0023] The present invention also provides a swimming pool cleaning robot, comprising the above-mentioned belt wheel fixing structure.

[0024] In the above scheme, the pulley fixing structure includes a main shell, a synchronous pulley and a rotating bearing. The synchronous pulley includes a pulley disc and a second circumferential portion. The main shell has a first circumferential portion. The rotating bearing is arranged between the first circumferential portion and the second circumferential portion, so that the rotation of the synchronous pulley relative to the main shell is smoother, with less resistance, small motor current, stable operation, and durable, which directly increases the service life of the swimming pool robot and improves the user experience.

[0037] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0038] The pool cleaning robot can move on the bottom and side walls of the swimming pool, and remove dirt in the swimming pool by filtering and scrubbing. It can replace manpower to clean the swimming pool, and has a high cleaning efficiency. It can reach every corner of the swimming pool, including some areas that are difficult to clean manually.

[0039] Tracked pool cleaning robots can use a pulley transmission mechanism to drive the tracks to move the robot to the cleaning area. However, the pulley is generally installed directly on the main shell of the robot, which requires high precision for the assembly of the pulley and the main shell, and the rotation is not smooth and has high resistance, which in turn causes the motor to have high current and is prone to heat damage, directly affecting the service life of the robot and the user experience.

[0040] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a pulley fixing structure and a swimming pool cleaning robot, the pulley fixing structure includes a main shell 10, a synchronous pulley 20 and a rotating bearing 30. By setting a first circumferential portion 11 on the main shell 10, setting a second circumferential portion 22 on the synchronous pulley 20, and setting the rotating bearing 30 between the first circumferential portion 11 and the second circumferential portion 22, after the synchronous pulley 20 is installed on the main shell 10, the rotation of the synchronous pulley 20 is smoother, the assembly accuracy requirement is not high, and the rotation resistance is small, the motor current is small, the operation is stable, and it is durable.

[0041] The pulley fixing structure provided by the embodiment of the present invention is now described. The pulley fixing mechanism is used in the pulley transmission mechanism, and the pulley transmission mechanism can output linear motion. The pulley transmission mechanism generally includes a driving member, a synchronous pulley 20, a synchronous belt 70, etc. The driving member drives one of the synchronous pulleys 20 to rotate, and then drives the synchronous belt 70 to move, and the synchronous belt 70 drives the other synchronous pulley 20 to rotate. When the pulley transmission mechanism is applied to a swimming pool cleaning robot, the synchronous belt 70 can be a crawler belt, and the entire swimming pool cleaning robot is driven to move through the pulley transmission mechanism.

[0042] See also Figures 1 to 3 The pulley fixing structure includes a main housing 10, a synchronous pulley 20 and a rotating bearing 30. The main housing 10 has a first circumferential portion 11. The synchronous pulley 20 is used to cooperate with the synchronous belt 70 for transmission. The synchronous pulley 20 includes a pulley disc 21 and a second circumferential portion 22 axially extending from the pulley disc 21. The first circumferential portion 11 and the second circumferential portion 22 are coaxially arranged, and the rotating bearing 30 is fixed between the first circumferential portion 11 and the second circumferential portion 22. The axial direction can be understood as a direction parallel to the central axis of the synchronous pulley 20, the circumferential direction can be understood as a direction around the central axis of the synchronous pulley 20, and the radial direction can be understood as a direction perpendicular to the axial direction and passing through the central axis of the synchronous pulley 20.

[0043] The main housing 10 is the main mounting structure of the pulley transmission mechanism. When the pulley fixing structure is applied to a pool cleaning robot, the main housing 10 can be the base of the pool cleaning robot. The main housing 10 has a first circumferential portion 11, which can be formed by extending the surface of the main housing 10 in the axial direction. The first circumferential portion 11 is an annular structure.

[0044] The synchronous pulley 20 is generally used in conjunction with the synchronous belt 70. The outer periphery of the synchronous pulley 20 and the inner wall of the synchronous belt 70 are both provided with meshing teeth, which can realize the meshing transmission of the synchronous pulley 20 and the synchronous belt 70. In the embodiment provided by the present invention, the synchronous pulley 20 can be a driving pulley directly driven by a driving wheel, or a driven pulley directly driven by the synchronous belt 70. The synchronous pulley 20 includes a pulley disc 21 and a second circumferential portion 22 connected to each other, the second circumferential portion 22 is arranged in the middle of the pulley disc 21, and the second circumferential portion 22 is an annular structure.

[0045] The rotating bearing 30 may be a ball bearing, which is fixed between the first circumferential portion 11 and the second circumferential portion 22 , so that the second circumferential portion 22 can rotate more smoothly relative to the first circumferential portion 11 , thereby making the synchronous pulley 20 rotate more smoothly relative to the main housing 10 .

[0046] The pulley fixing structure in the above embodiment includes a main shell 10, a synchronous pulley 20 and a rotating bearing 30. The synchronous pulley 20 includes a pulley disc 21 and a second circumferential portion 22. The main shell 10 has a first circumferential portion 11. The rotating bearing 30 is arranged between the first circumferential portion 11 and the second circumferential portion 22, so that the rotation of the synchronous pulley 20 relative to the main shell 10 is smoother, with less resistance, small motor current, stable operation, and durability, which directly increases the service life of the swimming pool robot and improves the user experience.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second circumferential portion 22 is arranged on the outer periphery of the first circumferential portion 11, the rotating bearing 30 includes an inner ring and an outer ring, and there is a ball between the inner ring and the outer ring. The inner circumferential wall of the second circumferential portion 22 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the rotating bearing 30, and the outer circumferential wall of the first circumferential portion 11 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the rotating bearing 30.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first circumferential portion 11 is arranged on the outer periphery of the second circumferential portion 22, the rotating bearing 30 includes an inner ring and an outer ring, and there is a ball between the inner ring and the outer ring. The inner circumferential wall of the first circumferential portion 11 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the rotating bearing 30, and the outer circumferential wall of the second circumferential portion 22 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the rotating bearing 30.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figures 2 to 4 The pulley fixing structure also includes a limiting pressure piece 40 and a locking piece 61. The second circumferential portion 22 is arranged on the outer periphery of the first circumferential portion 11. The outer circumferential wall of the first circumferential portion 11 has a step structure 13. The inner wall of the second circumferential portion 22 extends radially inward to form a limiting portion 23. The locking piece 61 passes through the pressure piece and is locked to the first circumferential portion 11, so that the rotating bearing 30 and the limiting portion 23 are axially pressed at the step structure 13.

[0050] The cooperation of the limiting pressure piece 40 and the locking member 61 can axially fix the first circumferential portion 11, the second circumferential portion 22 and the rotating bearing 30. Specifically, the limiting portion 23 and the rotating bearing 30 on the second circumferential portion 22 are axially arranged on the outer periphery of the first circumferential portion 11, and one end of the bearing assembly formed by the limiting portion 23 and the rotating bearing 30 is limited by the step structure 13, and the other end of the bearing assembly is pressed and limited by the limiting pressure piece 40, and is locked to the first circumferential portion 11 through the limiting pressure piece 40 through the locking member 61. Among them, the second circumferential portion 22 and the first circumferential portion 11 are arranged at intervals, and the axial limitation of the second circumferential portion 22 is achieved by arranging the limiting portion 23 on the second circumferential portion 22.

[0051] By setting the limiting pressure piece 40 and the locking piece 61, the first circumferential portion 11, the second circumferential portion 22 and the rotating bearing 30 can be axially limited and locked to prevent the second circumferential portion 22 and the rotating bearing 30 from axially moving relative to the first circumferential portion 11.

[0052] In some embodiments, the locking member 61 is a screw, a first connection hole 41 is provided on the limiting pressure piece 40, a second connection hole 12 is provided at one axial end of the first circumferential portion 11, and the screw passes through the first connection hole 41 and is connected to the second connection hole 12, so that the limiting pressure piece 40 is pressed and fixed to one end of the first circumferential portion 11. The outer diameter of the limiting pressure piece 40 is larger than the outer diameter of the first circumferential portion 11, so that the end of the bearing assembly can be stopped.

[0053] In some embodiments, there are multiple locking members 61 , and the multiple locking members 61 are circumferentially arranged on the limiting pressure piece 40 in sequence and at intervals.

[0054] In some embodiments, the limiting pressure piece 40 is in the shape of a circular ring, and the middle part thereof is hollowed out to avoid interference with structures such as the roller brush shaft 84 and allow the roller brush shaft 84 to pass through.

[0055] In some embodiments, a circumferential positioning hole 42 is provided on the limiting pressure piece 40, and a circumferential positioning protrusion is provided on the main housing 10. When the limiting pressure piece 40 is installed on the main housing 10, the circumferential positioning hole 42 and the circumferential positioning protrusion cooperate to position the limiting pressure piece 40 circumferentially to prevent installation misalignment. The shape of the circumferential positioning hole 42 can be a circular hole, an arc hole, etc.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figures 2 to 4 There are two rotating bearings 30, and the step structure 13, one rotating bearing 30, the limiting portion 23, the other rotating bearing 30, and the limiting pressure plate 40 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction. The limiting portion 23 extends to abut against the outer ring of the rotating bearing 30, and the limiting portion 23 is spaced apart from the first circumferential portion 11.

[0057] The axial ends of the inner ring of the first rotating bearing 30 are respectively abutted by the step structure 13 and the limiting portion 23, and the axial ends of the outer ring of the second rotating bearing 30 are respectively abutted by the limiting portion 23 and the limiting pressing sheet 40. The limiting portion 23 can separate the two rotating bearings 30, making the layout of the two rotating bearings 30 more reasonable. Among them, the limiting portion 23 is arranged at a distance from the first circumferential portion 11, so that the first circumferential portion 11 can rotate more smoothly relative to the second circumferential portion 22, and the two will not interfere with each other.

[0058] By disposing two rotating bearings 30 , at least two supporting positions can be provided between the first circumferential portion 11 and the second circumferential portion 22 , thereby making the rotation of the second circumferential portion 22 relative to the first circumferential portion 11 more stable and the rotation of the synchronous pulley 20 smoother.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, the number of the rotating bearing 30 is one, the step structure 13, the rotating bearing 30, the limiting portion 23 and the limiting pressing sheet 40 are sequentially arranged along the axial direction, the limiting portion 23 extends to abut against the inner ring of the rotating bearing 30, and the limiting portion 23 is spaced apart from the first circumferential portion 11. In other embodiments, the number of the rotating bearing 30 may also be three, four, etc.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figures 3 to 5 The limiting portion 23 includes a first limiting section 231 and a second limiting section 232 which are connected to each other. The axial width of the first limiting section 231 is smaller than the axial width of the second limiting section 232, and one end of the first limiting section 231 abuts against the outer ring of one of the rotating bearings 30.

[0061] One end of the first limiting section 231 is connected to the second circumferential portion 22, and the other end of the first limiting portion 23 is connected to the second limiting section 232, that is, the second limiting section 232 is closer to the first circumferential portion 11 than the first limiting section 231. After the synchronous pulley 20 and the rotating bearing 30 are installed in place, the second limiting section 232 is located between the inner rings of the two rotating bearings 30, and can fill the gap between the two rotating bearings 30. The axial width of the first limiting section 231 refers to the size of the first limiting section 231 in the axial direction, and the axial width of the second limiting section 232 refers to the size of the second limiting section 232 in the axial direction.

[0062] By providing the first limiting section 231 and the second limiting section 232 with different axial widths and making the limiting portion 23 only abut against the outer ring of the rotating bearing 30, the normal rotation of the rotating bearing 30 is ensured and the limiting portion 23 can be installed more easily.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, the limiting portion 23 includes a first limiting section 231 and a second limiting section 232 that are connected to each other, the axial width of the first limiting section 231 is greater than the axial width of the second limiting section 232, and the two ends of the first limiting section 231 respectively abut against the outer rings of the two rotating bearings 30.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figures 2 to 4The pulley fixing structure also includes a fixed bracket 50 and a roller brush assembly 80. The fixed bracket 50 includes a fixed plate 51 and a fixed shaft 52 that are connected to each other. The fixed plate 51 is fixedly connected to the pulley disc 21, and the fixed shaft 52 is arranged through the first circumferential portion 11; the fixed shaft 52 is a hollow structure, and the roller brush rotating shaft 84 of the roller brush assembly 80 is arranged through the fixed shaft 52.

[0065] The fixed bracket 50 is a connection structure, which is used to fix the synchronous pulley 20 and the roller brush assembly 80. When the synchronous pulley 20 rotates, the roller brush assembly 80 also moves synchronously through the connection of the fixed bracket 50. The roller brush assembly 80 is used to avoid contact with the swimming pool to clean the swimming pool. At least one end of the roller brush assembly 80 is protruded and provided with a roller brush shaft 84. The fixed shaft 52 can be understood as being formed by the fixed plate 51 extending in the axial direction. The fixed shaft 52 is a hollow structure, so that the fixed shaft 52 is a cylindrical structure.

[0066] By setting the fixed bracket 50, the synchronous pulley 20 and the roller brush assembly 80 can move synchronously. In this way, when the swimming pool cleaning robot moves, the roller brush assembly 80 rolls at the same time. There is no need to set up an additional roller brush driving mechanism, which reduces the power system of the swimming pool cleaning robot, reduces the number of parts of the swimming pool cleaning robot, and is easier to assemble.

[0067] In some embodiments, the fixing plate 51 and the pulley disc 21 are fixedly connected by a fixing member 62. Specifically, the fixing member 62 passes through the fixing plate 51 and is connected to the pulley disc 21. When the fixing member 62 is a threaded member, a third connecting hole 510 is provided on the fixing plate 51, and a fourth connecting hole 210 is provided on the pulley disc 21. The threaded member passes through the third connecting hole 510 and is connected to the fourth connecting hole 210, so that the fixing plate 51 is fixed to the pulley disc 21, and then the fixing bracket 50 and the synchronous pulley 20 are fixed to each other.

[0068] Optionally, there are multiple fixing members 62 , and the multiple fixing members 62 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, so that the fixed connection structure between the fixing plate 51 and the pulley 21 is more stable.

[0069] Optionally, the circumference of the fixing member 62 has an annular boss 511, so that the head of the fixing member 62 is recessed into the annular boss 511. Firstly, the head of the fixing member 62 can be protected, and secondly, when a decorative cover is provided on the surface of the fixing bracket 50, the decorative cover will not interfere with the head of the fixing member 62, thereby facilitating the installation of the decorative cover.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first circumferential portion 11 is a hollow structure, the fixed shaft 52 is disposed through the first circumferential portion 11, and the roller brush shaft 84 is disposed through the fixed shaft 52. More intuitively, the roller brush shaft 84, the fixed shaft 52, the first circumferential portion 11, and the second circumferential portion 22 are disposed sequentially from the inside to the outside.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figures 3 to 6 The roller brush assembly 80 includes a roller brush shaft 84 and a roller brush body 81 sleeved on the roller brush shaft 84. A transmission hole 820 is opened at one end of the roller brush body 81. One end of the fixed shaft 52 has a transmission part 521 for extending into the transmission hole 820. The transmission part 521 and the transmission hole 820 cooperate with each other to make the fixed shaft 52 and the roller brush body 81 rotate synchronously.

[0072] A central axis hole is provided at the central axis of the roller brush body 81, and the roller brush shaft 84 is passed through the central axis hole, and the central axis of the roller brush shaft 84 coincides with the central axis of the roller brush body 81. A transmission hole 820 is provided at one end of the roller brush body 81, and the end of the roller brush body 81 refers to an axial end of the roller brush body 81. The transmission hole 820 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the transmission part 521, so that when the fixed bracket 50 rotates, the roller brush body 81 can rotate synchronously.

[0073] A transmission hole 820 is provided at one end of the roller brush body 81, and a transmission part 521 is provided at one end of the fixed shaft 52. The rotation of the fixed bracket 50 is transmitted to the roller brush body 81 through the mutual cooperation of the transmission hole 820 and the transmission part 521, and the rotation of the roller brush body 81 is realized without the need for other fixed structures.

[0074] In some embodiments, the cross-sections of the transmission hole 820 and the transmission part 521 are both hexagonal, so that the rotation of the fixed bracket 50 drives the roller brush assembly 80 to move, and the bristles 83 of the roller brush assembly 80 rub against the wall of the swimming pool to clean dirt.

[0075] In some embodiments, the cross-sections of the transmission hole 820 and the transmission part 521 are both D-shaped, so that the rotation of the fixed bracket 50 drives the roller brush assembly 80 to move, and the bristles 83 of the roller brush assembly 80 rub against the wall of the swimming pool to clean dirt.

[0076] It can be understood that when the cross-sections of the transmission hole 820 and the transmission part 521 are both non-circular, the rotation of the transmission part 521 will drive the components to which the transmission hole 820 belongs to rotate.

[0077] In some embodiments, the roller brush shaft 84 and the roller brush body 81 are fixed to each other, and the roller brush shaft 84 and the roller brush body 81 rotate synchronously, reducing the friction between the roller brush shaft 84 and the roller brush body 81, and reducing the friction between the roller brush shaft 84 and the fixed bracket 50.

[0078] In some embodiments, the roller brush shaft 84 can rotate relative to the roller brush body 81, and the roller brush shaft 84 is more flexible and does not have the risk of getting stuck.

[0079] In other embodiments, the roller brush assembly 80 includes a roller brush shaft 84 and a roller brush body 81 sleeved on the roller brush shaft 84, a transmission hole 820 is provided at one end of the roller brush shaft 84, a transmission part 521 is provided at one end of the fixed shaft 52 for extending into the transmission hole 820, the transmission part 521 and the transmission hole 820 cooperate with each other, so that the fixed shaft 52 and the roller brush body 81 rotate synchronously. Alternatively, the rotating end of the roller brush has the transmission part 521, and the fixed end has the transmission hole 820 for the transmission part 521 to extend into, the transmission part 521 and the transmission hole 820 cooperate with each other, so that the fixed shaft 52 and the roller brush body 81 rotate synchronously.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The roller brush body 81 includes a roller brush bracket 82 and bristles 83 fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the roller brush bracket 82. The roller brush bracket 82 includes a roller brush cylinder 821 and a roller brush end wall 822 connected to one end of the roller brush cylinder 821. The roller brush end wall 822 is recessed to form a transmission hole 820, and the roller brush end wall 822 is provided with a shaft hole at the bottom of the transmission hole 820, and the shaft hole is axially extended to form a wrapping wall 825, and the wrapping wall 825 is for the roller brush shaft 84 to pass through.

[0081] The roller brush bracket 82 is the main supporting structure of the roller brush body 81, so that the bristles 83 can be circumferentially distributed on the peripheral wall of the roller brush bracket 82. The bottom wall formed by the roller brush end wall 822 being sunken is called the stop wall 824, and the circumferential wall formed by the roller brush end wall 822 being sunken is the hole wall 823. The hole surrounded by the hole wall 823 is the transmission hole 820 mentioned above, and the bottom of the transmission hole 820 is the stop wall 824. The shaft hole is provided on the stop wall 824.

[0082] The bottom of the transmission hole 820 stops the transmission part 521, forming an axial limit for the fixed shaft 52 and the roller brush body 81. By extending the wrapping wall 825 at the bottom of the transmission hole 820, the roller brush shaft 84 can be radially limited, so that when the roller brush shaft 84 is connected to the roller brush bracket 82, the connection is more stable, the shaking of the roller brush shaft 84 is reduced, and the quality of the robot is improved.

[0083] In some embodiments, the roller brush body 81 also includes a filtering structure, which can be disposed inside the roller brush bracket 82. When the roller brush body 81 rotates to clean the wall of the swimming pool, the filtering structure can absorb dirt, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning and absorbing at the same time.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 3 and Figure 4The roller brush shaft 84 extends out of the fixed bracket 50, and a retaining spring 63 is fixed to the extended end of the roller brush shaft 84. The fixed bracket 50 has one end of the fixed shaft 52 disposed close to the roller brush body 81, and the roller brush shaft 84 extends into the fixed bracket 50 and extends to the outside of the fixed bracket 50, and the extension direction is the direction away from the roller brush body 81. The retaining spring 63 is clamped on the extended end of the roller brush shaft 84, so that the axial positions of the fixed bracket 50 and the roller brush shaft 84 are relatively fixed.

[0085] By providing the retaining spring 63 , the axial positions of the fixed bracket 50 and the roller brush shaft 84 can be positioned to prevent the roller brush shaft 84 from moving inside the fixed bracket 50 .

[0086] In some embodiments, a slot is formed at the extended end of the roller brush shaft 84, and the clip 63 is clipped in the slot. There can be multiple clips 63, which are sequentially distributed along the axial direction of the roller brush shaft 84, and multiple clips 63 can provide greater axial restraint force.

[0087] In some embodiments, a gasket 64 is disposed between the retaining spring 63 and the fixing bracket 50 . The gasket 64 can protect the surface of the fixing bracket 50 and prevent the surface from being crushed.

[0088] In other embodiments, one end of the roller brush shaft 84 extends out to the outside of the fixed bracket 50, and one end of the roller brush shaft 84 is threadedly connected with a threaded member, which also has an axial limiting function.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The fixing plate 51 extends toward the pulley disc 21 to form an annular positioning portion 512, and the annular positioning portion 512 extends into the interior of the second circumferential portion 22. When the fixing bracket 50 is mounted on the pulley disc 21, the annular positioning portion 512 is located inside the second circumferential portion 22.

[0090] By disposing the annular positioning portion 512 , when the fixing bracket 50 is installed, the cooperation between the annular positioning portion 512 and the second circumferential portion 22 can radially position the fixing bracket 50 to prevent the fixing bracket 50 from being misplaced during installation.

[0091] In some embodiments, the annular positioning portion 512 is a closed annular structure, or includes a plurality of structures that are spaced apart and form an annular shape.

[0092] The present invention also provides a swimming pool cleaning robot, which includes the belt wheel fixing structure in any of the above embodiments. The swimming pool cleaning robot is used to clean dirt from the swimming pool and is widely used in public swimming pools, private swimming pools, etc.

[0093] The swimming pool cleaning robot provided by the present invention adopts the above-mentioned pulley fixing structure, and the pulley fixing structure includes a main shell 10, a synchronous pulley 20 and a rotating bearing 30. The synchronous pulley 20 includes a pulley disc 21 and a second circumferential portion 22. The main shell 10 has a first circumferential portion 11, and the rotating bearing 30 is arranged between the first circumferential portion 11 and the second circumferential portion 22, so that the rotation of the synchronous pulley 20 relative to the main shell 10 is smoother, with less resistance, small motor current, stable operation, and durability, which directly increases the service life of the swimming pool robot and improves the user experience.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 1 The number of the pulley fixing structures is two, and the main housings 10 of the two pulley fixing assemblies are fixedly connected, or the main housings 10 of the two pulley fixing assemblies are integrally formed. Accordingly, the number of the pulley transmission mechanisms is two, so that the pool cleaning robot moves through two crawlers (synchronous belts 70). In the two pulley fixing assemblies, the two roller brush assemblies 80 are coaxially arranged, and the ends of the two roller brush assemblies 80 that are close to each other are fixed to each other.

[0095] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 In the two pulley fixing assemblies, the roller brush shafts 84 of the two roller brush assemblies 80 are coaxial and fixedly connected, and can be regarded as the same shaft. Both ends of the roller brush shaft 84 are provided with limit members, which are used to stop the fixing bracket 50 and axially position the fixing bracket 50 and the roller brush shaft 84. The limit members can be the above-mentioned retaining spring 63, threaded member, etc.

[0096] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
