Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of swimming pool cleaning equipment, and in particular to a germicidal lamp module and a swimming pool cleaning robot. Background Art

[0002] Swimming pools are places where people swim. During the use of swimming pools, there will be some garbage or bacteria, so swimming pools need to be cleaned regularly. Pool cleaning robots (including above-water and underwater robots) can clean swimming pools. They are mainly used to carry cleaning mechanisms and move in water. In addition to using cleaning mechanisms to clean dust and large particles in the swimming pool, swimming pool cleaning robots also need to be equipped with sterilizing lamps to disinfect invisible bacteria and other microorganisms in the swimming pool.

[0003] Currently, the pool cleaning robots on the market that are equipped with sterilization lamps and UV lamps need to be powered by batteries or power cords extended from the main compartment to provide power. This will cause the pool cleaning robots to lose their own power and shorten their battery life. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an energy-saving germicidal lamp module and a swimming pool cleaning robot having the germicidal lamp module.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts a technical solution 1: a germicidal lamp module, comprising:

[0006] Germicidal lamps, used to emit light to achieve sterilization;

[0007] a generator, electrically connected to the germicidal lamp, for providing electrical energy to the germicidal lamp;

[0008] The transmission device is connected to the generator and is used to be driven by external force and transmit motion to the generator.

[0009] In order to solve the above technical problems, the second technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a swimming pool cleaning robot, comprising a transmission output device and the above-mentioned germicidal lamp module, wherein the transmission output device is detachably coupled to the transmission device.

[0010] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the germicidal lamp of the germicidal lamp module is an independent detachable module, which does not need to be charged before use, nor does it need to obtain electrical energy directly from the robot body through wires. The germicidal lamp module is equipped with a generator, and the transmission device of the germicidal lamp module is coupled with the transmission output device of the external machine. When the machine moves, its transmission output device will drive the transmission device of the germicidal lamp module to move, so that the generator converts kinetic energy into electrical energy and transmits it to the germicidal lamp. As long as the machine does not stop, the germicidal lamp can continue to work, thereby effectively saving machine energy and ensuring the endurance of the machine. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0045] Furthermore, the transmission output device 73 is a gear.

[0048] Preferably, the swimming pool cleaning robot further comprises a main body 6 and a driving assembly 7, wherein the driving assembly 7 is arranged on the main body 6. Specifically, the main body 6 is in a rectangular shape; the driving assembly 7 comprises a rotating motor 71, a driving wheel and the transmission output device 73. A sealed cabin 62 is arranged in the main body 6, and the rotating motor 71 is arranged in the sealed cabin 62. There are four driving wheels, and two driving wheels are respectively arranged on both sides of the main body 6. The two driving wheels arranged on the same side of the main body 6 include a first driving wheel 72a and a second driving wheel 72b, wherein the first driving wheel 72a is transmission-connected with the rotating motor 71, and the first driving wheel 72a is synchronously transmission-connected with the second driving wheel 72b through the transmission output device 73. The transmission output device 73 is preferably a gear set, comprising a driving wheel 731, a driven wheel 732 and at least one transmission wheel.

In this embodiment, the number of the transmission wheels is three, and the three transmission wheels include a first transmission wheel 733, a second transmission wheel 734 and a third transmission wheel 735 that are meshed in sequence, the first transmission wheel 733 is meshed with the driving wheel 731, the third transmission wheel 735 is meshed with the driven wheel 732, and the first transmission wheel 733 and the third transmission wheel 735 are symmetrically arranged relative to the second transmission wheel 734, and the driving wheel 731 and the driven wheel 732 are symmetrically arranged relative to the second transmission wheel 734. The transmission device 3 is preferably a latch. The middle part of the second transmission wheel 734 is provided with a pin hole that cooperates with the latch, so that the transmission output device 73 and the transmission device 3 are detachably coupled. The cross section of the transmission device 3 is square. In other embodiments, the cross section of the transmission device 3 can be set to be an ellipse, an arc, a triangle, a rectangle or other non-circular shapes. It is easy to understand that the transmission output device 73 not only transmits torque to the drive assembly 7, but also provides kinetic energy to the generator 2 through the transmission device 3, so that the generator 2 can convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy and supply it to the germicidal lamp 1.

[0049] In other embodiments, the transmission output device 73 can be set as a gear. The transmission output device 73 is coaxial with the input shaft of the generator 2 and is fixedly connected. After the germicidal lamp module is installed on the main body 6, the transmission output device 73 is engaged with the driving wheel 731, the transmission wheel or the driven wheel 732.

The water pump is at least partially arranged in the water flow channel. Specifically, the filter device includes a garbage bin and a filter bag arranged on the garbage bin. The garbage bin is detachably installed in the shell 61. When in use, the main body 6 drives the end of the water flow channel close to the water inlet through the water pump to form a negative pressure to the outside world, thereby sucking the external water body into the water flow channel. After the water flows along the water flow channel to the garbage bin, the garbage or dirt in the water flow is filtered out by the filter bag and retained in the garbage bin, and the filtered water flows out from the outlet along the water flow channel, thereby cleaning the water body of the swimming pool. When the garbage or dirt accumulated in the garbage bin reaches a certain capacity, the garbage bin can be removed from the shell 61 for cleaning or replacement of the filter bag.

[0051] Preferably, the germicidal lamp module further comprises a housing 4, wherein at least one of the generator 2, the germicidal lamp 1 and the transmission device 3 is arranged in the housing 4. Specifically, the generator 2 is fixedly mounted in the housing 4; the transmission device 3 is mounted outside the housing 4; the germicidal lamp 1 is a UV lamp, and the light-emitting surface of the germicidal lamp 1 is exposed to the housing 4.

When the transmission device 3 drives the rotor to rotate through the output shaft, the output wire on the rotor will cut the magnetic flux lines between multiple stator poles, thereby generating an induced current, and supplying electrical energy to the germicidal lamp 1 through the copper ring and the terminal, so that the germicidal lamp 1 is powered on and emits light.

[0052] Preferably, the germicidal lamp module further comprises a connecting device 5, which is used for detachably connecting with an external mechanism; and the connecting device 5 is connected with at least one of the generator 2, the germicidal lamp 1 or the transmission device 3.

A rotating shaft is provided in the insert rod 51, and one end of the two limit hooks 52 is respectively rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and the two limit hooks 52 are symmetrically arranged relative to the rotating shaft. The insertion rod 51 is provided with a through hole for two limiting hooks 52 to extend at one end away from the rotating shaft. The elastic member 54 is arranged in the assembly cavity, and the elastic member 54 abuts against the limiting hook 52 to drive the end of the limiting hook 52 away from the rotating shaft to move out of the through hole. The number of buttons 53 is set in a one-to-one correspondence with the number of limiting hooks 52. The button 53 is slidably mounted on the insertion rod 51, one end of the button 53 is exposed on the insertion rod 51, and the other end is connected to the limiting hook 52. Applying pressure to the button 53 toward the insertion rod 51 can drive the limiting hook 52 to rotate so that the end of the limiting hook 52 away from the rotating shaft moves toward the insertion rod 51. The insertion rod 51 is fixedly connected to the housing 4 of the germicidal lamp module, or the insertion rod 51 and the housing 4 of the germicidal lamp module are an integrated structure. The connection part 611 is a socket provided on the shell 61 of the main body 6. The connection part 611 is adapted to the connection device 5. A recessed limit card slot 612 is provided on the inner wall surface of the connection part 611. The limit card slot 612 is used to hook with the limit card hook 52. It is easy to understand that when the germicidal lamp module needs to be installed on the main body 6, the connection device 5 on the germicidal lamp module is aligned with the connection part 611 on the main body 6, and the transmission device 3 of the germicidal lamp module is aligned with the transmission output device 73 on the main body 6. Then, the connection device 5 is inserted into the connection part 611 until the limit card hook 52 is hooked on the limit card slot 612, and the transmission device 3 is coupled with the transmission output device 73, so that the germicidal lamp module can be installed on the main body 6. When the germicidal lamp module needs to be removed from the main body 6, it is only necessary to apply pressure to the button 53 by hand, so that the button 53 drives the limit hook 52 to rotate toward the insertion rod 51 so that the limit hook 52 exits the limit slot 612, and then the germicidal lamp module is pulled out in a direction away from the connecting portion 611, so that the germicidal lamp module can be removed from the main body 6. In other embodiments, the connecting device 5 can be configured as one or more of a fixed latch and a buckle device.
