[0002] With the development of swimming pool robot technology, the operating states of swimming pool robots are becoming more and more diverse. Existing swimming pool robots can realize swimming pool surface cleaning operations and swimming pool bottom cleaning operations. In order to reduce the operating difficulty of swimming pool robots in different operating states, existing swimming pool robots are often provided with two different water inlets on one side of their forward direction; in order to ensure the overall volume of the swimming pool robot, a water flow channel is usually provided in the swimming pool robot to respectively connect the two water inlets and the water outlet. When the swimming pool robot is operating, it needs to open one of the water inlets and block the other water inlet according to its cleaning operating state, so as to realize the function of the swimming pool robot switching the water inlet flow channel according to the cleaning operating state.

[0003] However, the inventors have discovered that the existing swimming pool robots are provided with switch devices at the two water inlets, and the two switch devices need to be powered and controlled separately. The provision of two switch devices increases the power load of the swimming pool robot and increases the assembly space occupied by the switch devices. The endurance of the swimming pool robot is affected, and the two switch devices also increase the failure probability of the swimming pool robot.

[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] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5A swimming pool robot comprises a shell 1, a driving device and a switching member 2, wherein the shell 1 is provided with a first water inlet 11, a second water inlet 12 and a water outlet 13, and the shell 1 is provided with a water flow channel which passes through and connects the first water inlet 11, the second water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13, and the switching member 2 is movably arranged in the water flow channel, and the driving device is connected to the switching member 2 to drive the switching member 2 to block the connection between the first water inlet 11 and the water outlet 13 or to block the connection between the second water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13; wherein, when the switching member 2 blocks the connection between the first water inlet 11 and the water outlet 13, the second water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13 are connected; when the switching member 2 blocks the connection between the second water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13, the first water inlet 11 and the water outlet 13 are connected.

[0033] The core invention point of the present invention is that the swimming pool robot provided by the present invention is only equipped with one switching component 2, and the swimming pool robot only needs to control the driving device to drive the switching component 2 to move to the corresponding position in the water flow channel, and the switching component 2 can be used to block the connection between the first water inlet 11 or the second water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13. At this time, the other water inlet is still connected with the water outlet 13, and the water flow can normally enter the water flow channel of the shell 1 from the other water inlet, and finally spray out from the water outlet 13, thereby realizing the water absorption flow channel switching function of the swimming pool robot.

[0034] It should be pointed out that the switching component 2 and the control device of the swimming pool robot designed by the present invention occupy less space, so the switching component 2 and the driving device occupy less assembly space of the swimming pool robot, and the swimming pool robot only needs to be controlled and powered by a single control device. The swimming pool robot has a simple structure, which can effectively reduce the failure probability of the swimming pool robot switching the water inlet channel, and the swimming pool robot can improve endurance.

[0035] The working principle of the present invention is briefly described as follows: the swimming pool robot provided by the present invention can control the driving device to drive the switching member 2 to move in the water flow channel to realize the function of switching the water inlet flow channel of the swimming pool robot. When the swimming pool robot is actually used, the operator can open the first water inlet 11 and the second water inlet 12 together on the side of the shell 1 in the forward direction of the swimming pool robot; and the first water inlet 11 and the second water inlet 12 can be further opened on the shell in the form of a certain height difference between the two, wherein the first water inlet 11 can be specifically set at a position close to the top of the shell 1, at which time the first water inlet 11 can better absorb dirt floating in the swimming pool water; accordingly, in this application case, the second water inlet 12 can be specifically opened at a position close to the bottom of the shell 1, so that the swimming pool robot can use the second water inlet 12 to absorb dirt deposited on the bottom of the swimming pool when performing the cleaning operation of the swimming pool bottom;

[0036] In the present invention, in order to effectively control the switching member 2 to move in the water flow channel, a driving device for driving the switching member 2 to move is also provided in the shell 1 of the swimming pool cleaning robot, so that the switching member 2 can block the water flow channel under the drive of the driving device; wherein, when the switching member 2 moves to a position to block the communication between the first water inlet 11 and the water outlet 13, the second water inlet 12 can still be connected with the water outlet 13; and when the switching member 2 moves to a position to block the communication between the second water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13, the first water inlet 11 can still be connected with the water outlet 13.

[0037] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the switching member 2 may be a cover plate, the first water inlet 11 and the second water inlet 12 may be arranged adjacent to each other, and the switching member 2 may be arranged between the first water inlet 11 and the second water inlet 12, and the driving device may specifically be a driving motor 6, and the driving motor 6 drives the switching member 2 to rotate to cover the first water inlet 11 or the second water inlet 12;

[0038] When the swimming pool robot needs to clean the bottom of the swimming pool, the driving motor 6 can drive the switching member 2 to flip to the position covering the first water inlet 11. The first water inlet 11 and the water flow channel are blocked by the switching member 2, so that the first water inlet 11 cannot connect the outside of the swimming pool robot with the water flow channel. The second water inlet 12 can pass through the outside of the swimming pool and the water flow channel. At this time, the swimming pool robot sucks water and dirt from the bottom of the swimming pool inward through the second water inlet 12, and the swimming pool robot can filter the sucked water and dirt, and then discharge the filtered water through the water outlet 13;

[0039] When the swimming pool robot needs to switch to the swimming pool surface cleaning operation, the driving motor 6 can drive the switching member 2 to flip to the position covering the second water inlet 12. The second water inlet 12 and the water flow channel are blocked by the switching member 2, so that the second water inlet 12 cannot connect the outside of the swimming pool robot with the water flow channel. At this time, the swimming pool robot can suck in water and dirt in the swimming pool through the first water inlet 11, and the swimming pool robot can filter the sucked water and dirt, and then discharge the filtered water through the water outlet 13.

[0040] In some other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the driving device can also be a device capable of driving the switching member 2 to move in the water flow channel, and the driving device can drive the switching member 2 to move to the first water inlet 11 or the second water inlet 12; when the driving member drives the switching member 2 to move to the first water inlet 11, the switching member 2 can cover the first water inlet 11, thereby blocking the first water inlet 11 from passing through the water flow channel and the outside of the swimming pool robot, while the second water inlet 12 can pass through the water flow channel and the outside of the swimming pool robot; when the driving member drives the switching member 2 to move to the second water inlet 12, the switching member 2 can cover the second water inlet 12, thereby blocking the second water inlet 12 from passing through the water flow channel and the outside of the swimming pool robot, while the first water inlet 11 can pass through the water flow channel and the outside of the swimming pool robot.

[0041] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effect of the present invention is that the swimming pool robot provided by the present invention has a simple structure and is easy to control. The swimming pool robot provided by the present invention can reduce the probability of failure when the swimming pool robot switches the water inlet flow channel, thereby reducing the probability that the swimming pool robot cannot absorb water normally due to the failure of the water inlet flow channel. In addition, the swimming pool robot is only equipped with a single drive device, so the swimming pool robot only needs to power and control the single drive device, which can reduce the overall weight of the swimming pool robot, reduce the energy consumption of the swimming pool robot, and improve the endurance of the swimming pool robot.

[0042] Furthermore, the switching member 2 is rotatably disposed in the water flow channel.

[0043] Furthermore, the switching member 2 is rotatably disposed at a position of the water flow channel close to the second water inlet 12\the first water inlet 11, and the switching member 2 covers or opens the second water inlet 12\the first water inlet 11. When the switching member 2 opens the second water inlet 12\the first water inlet 11, the switching member 2 abuts against an inner wall of the water flow channel to block the communication between the first water inlet 11\the second water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13.

[0044] From the above description, we can see that Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some preferred embodiments of the swimming pool robot provided by the present invention, the switching member 2 is rotatably disposed at a position of the water flow channel close to the second water inlet 12, and the switching member 2 can cover or open the second water inlet 12;

[0045] When the switching member 2 rotates to the position covering the second water inlet 12 (such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the switching member 2 blocks the second water inlet 12, so that the water flow channel cannot pass through the second water inlet 12 to the outside of the swimming pool robot, while the water flow channel between the first water inlet 11 and the water outlet 13 is connected. At this time, the swimming pool robot inhales water and dirt in the swimming pool through the first water inlet 11, filters the water and dirt in the swimming pool, and then discharges the filtered water through the water outlet 13;

[0046] When the switching member 2 is rotated to the position of opening the second water inlet 12, refer to the appendix of the manual. Figure 3 It can be seen that the switching member 2 abuts against the inner wall of the water flow channel, and the switching member 2 blocks the connection between the first water inlet 11 and the water outlet 13, resulting in that the water entering the swimming pool robot from the first water inlet 11 cannot form a water flow, while the water flow channel between the second water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13 is connected. At this time, the swimming pool robot sucks water and dirt in the swimming pool through the second water inlet 12, filters the water and dirt in the swimming pool, and then discharges the filtered water through the water outlet 13.

[0047] Of course, in actual application, the operator can set the first water inlet 11, the second water inlet 12 and the water flow channel according to actual application requirements. Correspondingly, the position of the switching member 2 can also be adaptively set to ensure that the swimming pool robot can switch the water inlet channel of the swimming pool robot by controlling the activity of the switching member 2.

[0048] Furthermore, the switching member 2 is rotatably disposed between the first water inlet 11 and the second water inlet 12, and the switching member 2 covers or opens the first water inlet 11 or the second water inlet 12. When the switching member 2 opens the first water inlet 11, the switching member 2 covers the second water inlet 12; when the switching member 2 opens the second water inlet 12, the switching member 2 covers the first water inlet 11.

[0049] It can be seen from the above description that in some other preferred embodiments of the swimming pool robot provided by the present invention, the switching member 2 can also be rotatably arranged between the first water inlet 11 and the second water inlet 12, and the switching member 2 can flip and cover the first water inlet 11 or cover the second water inlet 12 under the driving action of the driving device. When the driving member drives the switching member 2 to flip to cover the first water inlet 11, the second water inlet 12 is in an open state, and the swimming pool robot can suck water and dirt in the swimming pool through the second water inlet 12; when the driving member drives the switching member 2 to flip to cover the second water inlet 12, the first water inlet 11 is in an open state, and the swimming pool robot can suck water and dirt in the swimming pool through the first water inlet 11.

[0050] Furthermore, the switching member 2 is movably disposed in the water flow channel.

[0051] As can be seen from the above description, the swimming pool robot provided by the present invention can control the switching member 2 to move in the water flow channel through the driving device, and the switching member 2 can move to a position covering the first water inlet 11 or a position covering the second water inlet 12;

[0052] When the driving device controls the switching member 2 to move to the position covering the first water inlet 11, the switching member 2 blocks the water flow channel from penetrating the outside of the swimming pool robot through the first water inlet 11, while the water flow channel can penetrate the outside of the swimming pool robot through the second water inlet 12. At this time, the swimming pool robot can inhale water and dirt in the swimming pool from the second water inlet 12.

[0053] When the driving device controls the switching member 2 to move to the position covering the second water inlet 12, the switching member 2 blocks the water flow channel from penetrating the outside of the swimming pool robot through the second water inlet 12, while the water flow channel can pass through the first water inlet 11 to penetrate the outside of the swimming pool robot. At this time, the swimming pool robot can suck in water and dirt in the swimming pool from the first water inlet 11.

[0054] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the first water inlet 11 and the second water inlet 12 can be arranged adjacent to each other, and the driving device can drive the switching member 2 to translate in the water flow channel to translate to the first water inlet 11 or the second water inlet 12 .

[0055] In addition, in some other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the operator can also set the driving device to drive the switching member 2 to realize rotation and translation according to actual use requirements, so as to block the connection between the first water inlet 11 and the water outlet 13 or block the connection between the second water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13.

[0056] Furthermore, it also includes a controller, which is connected to the driving device.

[0057] From the above description, it can be seen that the swimming pool robot provided by the present invention can control the driving device to work through the controller, thereby controlling the switching member 2 to move to a position that blocks the passage between the first water inlet 11 and the water outlet 13 or blocks the passage between the second water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13.

[0058] Furthermore, the driving device includes a driving motor 6 and a transmission assembly 7 , the output end of the driving motor 6 is connected to the transmission assembly 7 , and the transmission assembly 7 is connected to the switching element 2 .

[0059] It can be seen from the above description that in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the switching member 2 is rotatably arranged in the water flow channel, the driving device includes a driving motor 6 and a transmission device, the output end of the driving motor 6 drives the transmission assembly 7, and the transmission assembly 7 drives the switching member 2 to rotate; wherein the transmission assembly 7 can be but is not limited to a belt assembly or a gear assembly.

[0060] Furthermore, it also includes a water pump 3, which is arranged in the housing 1, and at least part of the water pump 3 is located in the water flow channel.

[0061] From the above description, it can be seen that the swimming pool robot can be provided with a water pump 3 so that when the swimming pool robot is performing cleaning operations, the water flow channel generates suction on the water and dirt in the swimming pool, thereby improving the efficiency of filtering water by the swimming pool robot.

[0062] Furthermore, it also includes a filtering device 4, which is arranged in the water flow channel.

[0063] From the above description, it can be seen that after the water in the swimming pool is sucked into the swimming pool channel from the first water inlet 11 or the second water inlet 12, the swimming pool robot can filter the dirt in the water through the filtering device 4 arranged in the water flow channel, and then discharge the filtered water without dirt from the water outlet 13.

[0064] Furthermore, it also includes a buoyancy regulating chamber 5 , which is arranged in the shell 1 .

[0065] As can be seen from the above description, in some preferred embodiments of the swimming pool robot provided by the present invention, a buoyancy regulating chamber 5 is provided. In actual application, the swimming pool robot controls the buoyancy of the swimming pool robot in the water through the buoyancy regulating chamber 5, thereby controlling the swimming pool robot to float in the swimming pool water to clean the swimming pool surface or sink to the bottom of the swimming pool to clean the bottom of the swimming pool;

[0066] In some preferred embodiments of the swimming pool robot provided by the present invention, the first water inlet 11 can be arranged near the top of the housing 1, so that when the swimming pool robot performs a surface cleaning operation of the swimming pool, the first water inlet 11 can suck in dirt floating in the swimming pool water; the second water inlet 12 can be arranged near the bottom of the housing 1, so that when the swimming pool robot performs a bottom cleaning operation of the swimming pool, the second water inlet 12 can suck in dirt settled on the bottom of the swimming pool;

[0067] When the swimming pool robot floats on the water surface, the swimming pool robot performs a surface cleaning operation of the swimming pool. At this time, the swimming pool robot can control the driving device to drive the switching member 2 to move to a position that blocks the communication between the second water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13, and the swimming pool robot sucks water and dirt in the swimming pool through the first water inlet 11;

[0068] When the swimming pool robot sinks to the bottom of the swimming pool, it cleans the bottom of the swimming pool. At this time, the swimming pool robot can control the driving device to drive the switching member 2 to move to a position that blocks the communication between the first water inlet 11 and the water outlet 13, and the swimming pool robot sucks in water and dirt in the swimming pool through the second water inlet 12.

[0069] Embodiment 1

[0070] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , Embodiment 1 of the present invention is: a swimming pool robot, comprising a housing 1, a driving device, a switching member 2, a controller, a water pump 3, a filtering device 4 and a buoyancy regulating chamber 5;

[0071] The buoyancy regulating chamber 5 is arranged in the shell 1. In actual application, the swimming pool robot can control and adjust the buoyancy of the shell 1 in the water through the buoyancy regulating chamber 5, so as to control the floating height of the shell 1 in the water. When the swimming pool robot needs to clean the surface of the swimming pool, the buoyancy regulating chamber 5 can drain the water in the chamber and fill the buoyancy regulating chamber 5 with air to increase the buoyancy of the shell 1 in the water, so that the shell 1 floats on the water surface; when the swimming pool robot needs to clean the bottom of the swimming pool, the buoyancy regulating chamber 5 can inject water into the chamber to reduce the buoyancy of the shell 1 in the water, so that the shell 1 sinks to the bottom of the swimming pool; in this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the buoyancy regulating chamber 5 is disposed between the water pump 3 and the filtering device 4, and a channel structure may be provided on the buoyancy regulating chamber 5, through which a through water flow channel is formed between the water pump 3 and the filtering device 4.

When the swimming pool robot performs the surface cleaning operation of the swimming pool, the first water inlet 11 can more easily suck in the dirt floating in the swimming pool water; the second water inlet 12 is arranged near the bottom of the shell 1, and combined with the Figure 1 It is not difficult to see that a roller brush is also provided in the second water inlet 12. When the swimming pool robot cleans the bottom of the swimming pool, the roller brush can clean the bottom of the swimming pool and roll the dirt deposited on the bottom of the swimming pool to the second water inlet 12. The second water inlet 12 is more likely to absorb the dirt deposited on the bottom of the swimming pool. A water outlet 13 is provided on the top of the swimming pool robot to drain water to the swimming pool. A water flow channel is provided in the housing 1 that passes through the first water inlet 11, the second water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13.

In the first embodiment, the driving device includes a driving motor 6 and a transmission assembly 7. The transmission assembly 7 is specifically a belt assembly. The driving end of the driving motor 6 is connected to the belt assembly. The transmission assembly 7 is connected to the switching member 2. The controller is connected to the driving device. The controller controls the driving motor 6 to work. The driving end of the driving motor 6 drives the transmission assembly 7. The transmission assembly 7 drives the switching member 2 to flip, and the switching member 2 can open the second water inlet 12 (such as Figure 3 as shown) or cover the second water inlet 12 (as shown Figure 4 shown);

[0075] When the swimming pool robot needs to clean the bottom of the swimming pool, the swimming pool robot can control the filling of water into the buoyancy regulating chamber 5 to reduce the buoyancy of the shell 1 in the water, and the shell 1 can sink to the bottom of the swimming pool. At this time, the controller can control the drive motor 6 to drive the switching member 2 to flip to the position of opening the second water inlet 12 (such as Figure 3 As shown), at this time, the switching member 2 blocks the communication between the first water inlet 11 and the water outlet 13, and the water entering the housing 1 from the first water inlet 11 cannot flow, while the second water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13 are connected through the water flow channel, and the water can flow along Figure 3In the direction of the "arrow" marked therein, water enters the swimming pool robot from the outside through the second water inlet 12, and flows sequentially through: the second water inlet 12-water flow channel-filter device 4-water outlet 13; wherein, dirt deposited on the bottom of the swimming pool will be sucked into the housing 1 by the first water inlet 11 along with the water flow, and the filter device 4 will filter the dirt, and the dirt will be filtered in the filter device 4, so that the swimming pool robot can realize the function of cleaning the bottom of the swimming pool.

[0076] When the swimming pool robot needs to clean the swimming pool surface, the swimming pool robot can control the buoyancy adjustment chamber 5 to discharge the water in the chamber to increase the buoyancy of the shell 1 in the water, and the shell 1 can float to the bottom of the swimming pool. At this time, the controller can control the drive motor 6 to drive the switching member 2 to flip to the position covering the second water inlet 12 (such as Figure 4 As shown), at this time, the second water inlet 12 is blocked by the switching member 2, and the water flow channel cannot pass through the second water inlet 12 and the outside of the housing 1, while the first water inlet 11 and the water outlet 13 are connected through the water flow channel, and water can flow along Figure 4 In the direction of the "arrow" marked in the figure, water enters the swimming pool robot from the outside through the first water inlet 11, and flows through: the first water inlet 11-water flow channel-filter device 4-water outlet 13 in sequence; wherein, dirt floating in the swimming pool water will be sucked into the housing 1 by the first water inlet 11 along with the water flow, and the filter device 4 will filter the dirt, and the dirt will be filtered in the filter device 4, so that the swimming pool robot can achieve the function of cleaning the swimming pool water surface.
