DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The technical solutions in this application will be described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the protection scope of this application. It should be noted that the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0029] The present application provides a base station for cleaning dirt in an automatic pool cleaning device. It is understandable that the automatic pool cleaning device is capable of cleaning the pool, such as an automatic cleaning device, a pool cleaning robot, and the like. The pool is, for example, a pool-shaped building. The pool-shaped building may be a swimming pool, a reservoir, a spa pool, a water tank, a water tank, and the like. The present application does not limit the specific presentation of the automatic pool cleaning device and the pool-shaped building, as long as the principle of the present application can be implemented. In the following, unless otherwise specified, the robot will be used as an example of the automatic pool cleaning device, and the swimming pool will be used as an example of a pool or a pool-shaped building.

[0030] The base stations described in various embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a base station of the present application is shown.

[0031] The first embodiment of the present application provides a base station 100. The base station 100 includes: a main water pump 101; a main filter assembly 102 and a first pipeline 103, one end of the first pipeline 103 can be connected to the automatic pool cleaning device 200, and the other end is connected to the main water pump 101; the main water pump 101 can guide water to flow into the main filter assembly 102 through the first pipeline 103, and be discharged from the main filter assembly 102; wherein the main water pump 101 is located downstream of the main filter assembly 102, so that the water discharged from the main filter assembly 102 passes through the main water pump 101.

[0032] For example, the base station 100 may include a main water pump 101, a main filter assembly 102, and a first pipeline 103. One end of the first pipeline 103 is connected to the automatic pool cleaning device 200, and the other end is connected to the main water pump 101. It is understood that one end of the first pipeline 103 can be directly connected to the trash basket of the automatic pool cleaning device 200 (for example, connected to the trash basket inlet or connected to the trash basket outlet), or one end of the first pipeline 103 can be connected to the water inlet of the automatic pool cleaning device 200, or one end of the first pipeline 103 can be kept at a predetermined distance from the trash basket inlet of the automatic pool cleaning device 200 or the water inlet of the automatic pool cleaning device 200. In the present application, the communication method between the first pipeline 103 and the automatic pool cleaning device 200 is not specifically limited, as long as the dirt in the trash basket of the automatic pool cleaning device 200 is sucked into the first pipeline 103.

[0033] It should be noted that the term "connectivity" in this application can refer to the direct connection between two components / devices, or it can refer to the separation of two components / devices by a predetermined distance, but due to the close distance between the two, a certain connectivity effect can be achieved (for example, the transfer of dirt can be achieved).

[0034] The main water pump 101 guides the water flow to flow into the main filter assembly 102 through the first pipeline 103, and then the water flow is discharged from the main filter assembly 102. When the main water pump 101 is started, the dirt in the garbage basket of the automatic pool cleaning device 200 flows into the main filter assembly 102 through the first pipeline 103 together with the water flow, and the main filter assembly 102 filters out most of the garbage and solid impurities, and then the water flow is discharged from the main filter assembly 102.

[0035] Furthermore, the main water pump 101 is located downstream of the main filter assembly 102, so that the water discharged from the main filter assembly 102 passes through the main water pump 101. The main water pump 101 is arranged downstream of the main filter assembly 102, and most of the dirt such as garbage and solid impurities have been filtered out before the water discharged from the main filter assembly 102 passes through the main water pump 101, so as to prevent the dirt from entering the main water pump 101 and jamming the blades of the main water pump 101, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the main water pump 101.

[0036] The main filter assembly 102 is used to clean the garbage in the garbage basket of the automatic pool cleaning device 200. When the main water pump 101 is started, the water flow carries the garbage in the garbage basket through the first pipeline 103 into the main filter assembly 102, and the main filter assembly 102 filters out most of the dirt (such as garbage and solid impurities).

[0037] Further, the main filter assembly 102 includes a filter 1021 that can be separated from the base station 100. The filter 1021 can be separated from the base station 100. When the filter 1021 needs to be maintained, cleaned or replaced, the filter 1021 is convenient to disassemble and install. At the same time, the filter 1021 can also select different types of filters according to filtering requirements to ensure the filtering effect.

[0038] It can be understood that the above description of the composition and connection method of the main water pump 101, the main filter component 102 and the first pipeline 103 is only exemplary. Those skilled in the art can configure the main water pump 101, the main filter component 102 and the first pipeline 103 according to actual needs as long as the technical principles of the present application can be implemented.

[0039] Furthermore, the base station 100 may further include: a second pipeline 104 , through which the water flow of the main water pump 101 is discharged to the outside of the base station 100 .

[0040] Reference Figure 1 The base station 100 may further include: a second pipeline 104, one end of which is connected to the main water pump 101, and the other end of which extends to the outside of the base station 100. The water flowing through the main water pump 101 flows out of the base station 100 through the second pipeline 104 and flows into the water pool. This can not only keep the interior of the base station 100 clean and avoid the accumulation of sewage in the base station 100, but also realize the recycling of water resources.

[0041] Furthermore, the base station 100 may also include: a secondary filter component 111, and the secondary filter component 111 is arranged on the second pipeline 104. For example, the secondary filter component 111 is arranged on the second pipeline 104, and the secondary filter component 111 can perform secondary filtration on the water flow discharged by the main water pump 101, further remove residual tiny particles, impurities and other pollutants, etc., to ensure that the water discharged into the pool is cleaner.

[0042] The second embodiment of the present application provides a base station 100 for automatically cleaning dirt in an automatic pool cleaning device 200. The base station 100 comprises: a main water pump 101; a main filter assembly 102 and a first pipeline 103, one end of the first pipeline 103 can be in communication with the automatic pool cleaning device 200, and the other end of the first pipeline 103 can be in communication with the main water pump 101; the main water pump 101 can guide water to flow into the main filter assembly 102 through the first pipeline 103, and be discharged from the main filter assembly 102; wherein the main filter assembly 102 comprises a housing 1022, and an air hole 1023 is provided on the housing 1022, and the air hole 1023 is used to allow air to enter the main filter assembly 102 and / or discharge air from the main filter assembly 102.

[0043] In the second embodiment, the arrangement, connection relationship and function of the main water pump 101, the main filter assembly 102, the first pipeline 103 and other components are the same or similar to those described in the first embodiment above, and are not repeated here. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment above is that in the second embodiment, the main filter assembly 102 includes a shell 1022, and the shell 1022 is provided with an air hole 1023, and the air hole 1023 is used to allow air to enter the main filter assembly 102 and / or exhaust the air in the main filter assembly 102.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the main filter assembly 102 may include a housing 1022, which is used to accommodate and protect the internal filter assembly of the main filter assembly 102, and the housing 1022 may also be provided with air holes 1023, which can not only allow external air to enter the main filter assembly 102, but also discharge the air inside the main filter assembly 102. Figure 1 As shown, the air hole 1023 can be arranged at the top of the main filter assembly 102. The air hole 1023 can also be arranged at the side of the main filter assembly 102, as long as the technical principle of the present application can be realized.

[0045] Furthermore, the base station further includes a control valve 1024, and the control valve 1024 is used to control the opening and / or closing of the air hole 1023. For example, the control valve 1024 can be set on the air hole 1023. When air needs to enter the main filter assembly 102 or exhaust air from the main filter assembly 102, the control valve 1024 controls the air hole 1023 to open, so that external air enters the main filter assembly 102 through the air hole 1023 or exhausts the air inside the main filter assembly 102. When the main filter assembly 102 needs to be sealed, the control valve 1024 controls the air hole 1023 to close to prevent external air from entering the main filter assembly 102.

[0046] Furthermore, when the water volume or pressure of the first pipeline 103 is insufficient or when the base station 100 just starts to work, the control valve 1024 controls the air hole 1023 to open.

[0047] As described above, the dirt in the trash basket of the automatic pool cleaning device 200 flows into the main filter assembly 102 through the first pipeline 103 under the action of the main water pump 101. If the water volume or pressure in the first pipeline 103 is insufficient, the main water pump 101 cannot guide the water flow normally. Of course, this problem also exists when the base station 100 starts working.

[0048] For example, when the main water pump 101 is an impeller pump, in the initial operation stage of the base station 100, due to the small amount of water in the first pipeline 103, the water flow may not pass through the main water pump 101. At this time, even if the main water pump 101 is started, it is impossible to guide the water flow. Therefore, in this case, an auxiliary water pump is used to inject water into the first pipeline 103 so that the water volume at least covers the main water pump 101. Since the main filter assembly 102 is a chamber structure, the air hole 1023 can be opened through the control valve 1024, and the air in the first pipeline 103 and the main filter assembly 102 is discharged through the air hole 1023. At this time, the main water pump 101 can start to work normally, ensuring that dirt can flow smoothly into the main filter assembly 102.

[0049] In addition, the base station 100 also includes a drainage stage. In the drainage stage, the main water pump 101 stops working. At this time, the control valve 1024 controls the air hole 1023 to open, so that the external air enters the main filter assembly 102, the first pipeline 103 and the second pipeline 104 through the air hole 1023, ensuring that the water discharged from the main water pump 101 can flow smoothly into the pool. Specifically, when the main water pump 101 stops working, the pressure in the first pipeline 103 and the second pipeline 104 will drop rapidly, hindering the discharge of the water flow. By opening the air hole 1023 through the control valve 1024, the air entering the air hole 1023 can replenish the pressure in the first pipeline 103 and the second pipeline 104 in time, so that the water flow can flow smoothly into the pool with the assistance of gravity and airflow.

[0050] When the water volume or pressure in the first pipeline 103 is sufficient or after the main water pump 101 starts to work for a predetermined time or after the air hole 1023 is opened for a preset time, the control valve 1024 controls the air hole 1023 to close.

[0051] When the water volume or pressure in the first pipeline 103 is sufficient, the pressure inside the first pipeline 103 is sufficient and the water flow is stable, and dirt can smoothly enter the main filter assembly 102. At this time, the control valve 1024 can control the air hole 1023 to be closed. When the main water pump 101 starts to work, the air in the first pipeline 103 and the main filter assembly 102 has been emptied, and dirt can smoothly flow into the main filter assembly 102, and the control valve 1024 can control the air hole 1023 to be closed. After the air hole 1023 is opened for a preset time (for example, after 30 seconds), the pressure inside the first pipeline 103 is sufficient and the water flow is stable, and the control valve 1024 can control the air hole 1023 to be closed. Specifically, the setting of the preset time can be set according to the working capacity of the auxiliary water pump. For example, the preset time can be determined by measuring in advance the time required for the auxiliary water pump to fill the internal space of the first pipeline 103.

[0052] It can be understood that the above description of the main water pump 101, the main filter assembly 102 and the first pipeline 103 is only exemplary, and those skilled in the art can configure the main water pump 101, the main filter assembly 102 and the first pipeline 103 according to actual needs, as long as the technical principles of the present application can be implemented.

[0053] The third embodiment of the present application provides a base station 100 for automatically cleaning dirt in an automatic pool cleaning device 200. The base station 100 includes: a main water pump 101; a main filter assembly 102 and a first pipeline 103, one end of the first pipeline 103 can be connected to the automatic pool cleaning device 200, and the other end is connected to the main water pump 101; the main water pump 101 can guide water to flow through the first pipeline 103 into the main filter assembly 102, and be discharged from the main filter assembly 102; wherein the base station 100 also includes an auxiliary water pump 112 for replenishing water to the first pipeline 103.

[0054] In the third embodiment, the arrangement, connection relationship and functions of components such as the main water pump 101, the main filter assembly 102, the first pipeline 103 are the same as or similar to those described in the first and second embodiments above, and are not repeated here.

[0055] The third embodiment is different from the first and second embodiments described above in that, in the third embodiment, the base station 100 may further include an auxiliary water pump 112 for replenishing water to the first pipeline 103. For example, before the main water pump 101 is running, the auxiliary water pump 112 can provide additional water flow to the main water pump 101, and the auxiliary water pump 112 replenishes water to the first pipeline 103 to prevent the suction pressure from dropping due to insufficient water.

[0056] Further, the auxiliary water pump 112 may be disposed on the third pipeline 105, one end of the third pipeline 105 is connected to the water source, and the other end is connected to the first pipeline 103. For example, after the auxiliary water pump 112 is started, the auxiliary water pump 112 sends the water in the pool into the first pipeline 103 through the third pipeline 105, thereby increasing the water flow of the first pipeline 103 and ensuring that the dirt flows smoothly into the main filter assembly 102.

[0057] Furthermore, the start timing of the auxiliary water pump 112 is determined by one of the following conditions: when the base station 100 is turned on; or when the water volume or pressure of the first pipeline 103 does not meet the requirements.

[0058] For example, when the base station 100 is turned on (i.e., the initial operation stage of the base station 100, when the main water pump 101 is not started or has just started), there is a large amount of air in the first pipeline 103. The auxiliary water pump 112 is turned on, and the water in the pool is pumped into the first pipeline 103 through the third pipeline 105 through the auxiliary water pump 112, so that the first pipeline 103 is filled with water as much as possible, thereby facilitating the main water pump 101 to subsequently pump the water flow in the first pipeline 103.

[0059] During the working phase of the base station (i.e., the main water pump 101 is turned on), if the water volume or pressure in the first pipeline 103 does not meet the requirements, the main water pump 101 cannot guide the water flow normally. When the base station 100 starts working, since the water volume in the first pipeline 103 is very small, the water flow may not pass through the main water pump 101. At this time, even if the main water pump 101 is started, it is impossible to guide the water flow. Therefore, in this case, the auxiliary water pump 112 is used to inject water into the first pipeline 103 so that the water volume at least covers the main water pump 101. Since the main filter assembly 102 is a chamber structure, the air hole 1023 can be opened by the control valve 1024, and the air in the first pipeline 103 and the main filter assembly 102 is discharged through the air hole 1023. At this time, the main water pump 101 can start to work normally to ensure that the dirt can flow smoothly into the main filter assembly 102.

[0060] The shutdown timing of the auxiliary water pump 112 is determined by one of the following conditions: the auxiliary water pump 112 has been turned on for a preset time; or the water volume or pressure of the first pipeline 103 meets the requirements.

[0061] For example, the auxiliary water pump 112 has been turned on for a preset time, and the amount of water in the first pipeline 103 meets the requirement, and the dirt can be smoothly sucked into the main filter assembly 102, and the auxiliary water pump 112 is turned off. The preset time can be set based on the actual operation of the base station 100 and historical data to ensure that the auxiliary water pump 112 can complete the water replenishment task within the preset time period.

[0062] For example, when the water volume or pressure of the first pipeline 103 meets the requirements, the water flow condition of the first pipeline 103 is able to transport the dirt into the main filter assembly 102. At this time, the auxiliary water pump 112 is turned off to stop replenishing water into the first pipeline 103.

[0063] The provision of the auxiliary water pump 112 can prevent the suction pressure from decreasing due to insufficient water volume or pressure in the first pipeline 103 , thereby improving the working efficiency of the base station 100 .

[0064] It is understandable that the above description of the auxiliary water pump 112 is only exemplary, and those skilled in the art may select the auxiliary water pump 112 according to actual needs as long as the technical principles of the present application can be implemented.

[0065] Furthermore, a water level or pressure detection mechanism may be provided in the base station 100 to detect whether the water volume or pressure of the first pipeline 103 meets the requirements.

[0066] For example, a water level or pressure detection mechanism (such as a water level sensor or a pressure sensor) can be set in the base station 100 to detect the water level and pressure value in the first pipeline 103. When it is detected that the water volume in the first pipeline 103 is within the normal range, the auxiliary water pump 112 is turned off to prevent waste of power resources caused by excessive water replenishment. On the contrary, if it is detected that the water volume or pressure in the first pipeline 103 does not meet the requirements, the auxiliary water pump 112 is started to pump water from the pool into the first pipeline 103 through the third pipeline 105 to ensure that the dirt can be smoothly sucked into the main filter assembly 102.

[0067] It can be understood that the above selection of water level or pressure detection mechanism is only exemplary, and those skilled in the art can select the water level or pressure detection mechanism according to actual needs, as long as the technical principles of the present application can be implemented.

[0068] The fourth embodiment of the present application provides a base station 100 for automatically cleaning dirt in an automatic pool cleaning device 200. The base station 100 comprises: a main water pump 101; a main filter assembly 102 and a first pipeline 103, one end of the first pipeline 103 can be connected to the automatic pool cleaning device 200, and the other end is connected to the main water pump 101; the main water pump 101 can guide water to flow into the main filter assembly 102 through the first pipeline 103, and be discharged from the main filter assembly 102; wherein, an electric valve 113 is provided on the automatic pool cleaning device 200 or on the end of the first pipeline 103 connected to the automatic pool cleaning device 200, and the electric valve 113 controls whether the first pipeline 103 is connected to the automatic pool cleaning device 200.

[0069] In the fourth embodiment, the arrangement, connection relationship and functions of the main water pump 101, the main filter assembly 102, the first pipeline 103 and other components are the same or similar to those described in the above embodiments, and are not repeated here. The difference between the fourth embodiment and the above embodiments is that in the fourth embodiment, an electric valve 113 is provided on one end of the first pipeline 103 connected to the automatic pool cleaning device 200, and the electric valve 113 controls whether the first pipeline 103 is connected to the automatic pool cleaning device 200.

[0070] For example, an electric valve 113 may be provided at one end of the first pipeline 103 connected to the automatic pool cleaning device 200. The connection state between the first pipeline 103 and the automatic pool cleaning device 200 can be controlled by opening or closing the electric valve 113. When the electric valve 113 is opened, the first pipeline 103 is connected to the automatic pool cleaning device 200, and when the electric valve 113 is closed, the first pipeline 103 is not connected to the automatic pool cleaning device 200.

[0071] Furthermore, when the automatic pool cleaning device 200 needs to discharge sewage, the electric valve 113 is opened, and the first pipeline 103 is connected to the automatic pool cleaning device; when the automatic pool cleaning device does not need to discharge sewage, the electric valve 113 is closed, and the first pipeline 103 is not connected to the automatic pool cleaning device 200.

[0072] For example, when the automatic pool cleaning device 200 needs to discharge waste (the base station 100 is in the working stage, and the main water pump 101 is turned on at this time), the electric valve 113 is opened, so that the first pipeline 103 is connected to the automatic pool cleaning device 200. At this time, the dirt in the garbage basket of the automatic pool cleaning device 200 can flow into the main filter assembly 102 through the first pipeline 103 for filtering.

[0073] When the automatic pool cleaning device 200 does not need to discharge sewage (the base station 100 stops working and the main water pump 101 is turned off), the electric valve 113 is closed, cutting off the connection between the first pipeline 103 and the automatic pool cleaning device 200 to prevent dirt from flowing back and blocking the pipeline, and also to prevent dirty water from flowing back into the pool or the automatic pool cleaning device 200.

[0074] In the present application, a control method for a base station 100 is also provided, wherein the base station is used to automatically clean dirt in an automatic pool cleaning device 200, and the base station 100 includes: a main water pump 101; a main filter assembly 102 and a first pipeline 103, wherein one end of the first pipeline 103 can be connected to the automatic pool cleaning device 200, and the other end can be connected to the main water pump 101; the main water pump 101 can guide water to flow through the first pipeline 103 into the main filter assembly 102, and be discharged from the main filter assembly 102; wherein, when the automatic pool cleaning device 200 is separated from the base station 100, the main water pump 101 is controlled to continue to operate.

[0075] Among them, the base station 100 is used to automatically clean the dirt in the automatic pool cleaning device 200, and the base station 100 may include a main water pump 101, a main filter assembly 102 and a first pipeline 103. One end of the first pipeline 103 is connected to the automatic pool cleaning device 200, and the other end is connected to the main water pump 101. It can be understood that one end of the first pipeline 103 can be directly connected to the trash basket of the automatic pool cleaning device 200 (for example, the inlet or outlet of the trash basket), or one end of the first pipeline 103 can be connected to the water inlet of the automatic pool cleaning device 200, or one end of the first pipeline 103 is connected to the trash basket inlet of the automatic pool cleaning device 200 or the water inlet of the automatic pool cleaning device 200. Keep a predetermined distance. In the present application, the communication mode between the first pipeline 103 and the automatic pool cleaning device 200 is not specifically limited, as long as the dirt in the trash basket of the automatic pool cleaning device 200 is sucked into the first pipeline 103.

[0076] The main water pump 101 guides the water flow to flow into the main filter assembly 102 through the first pipeline 103, and then discharges from the main filter assembly 102. When the main water pump 101 is started, the dirt in the garbage basket of the automatic pool cleaning device 200 is sucked together with the water flow, and flows into the main filter assembly 102 through the first pipeline 103. The main filter assembly 102 filters out most of the dirt such as garbage and solid impurities, and then the water flow is discharged from the main filter assembly 102.

[0077] The control method provided in the present application is applicable to the base station 100 described in each of the above embodiments, and the control method controls the main water pump 101 to continue to operate after the automatic pool cleaning device 200 is separated from the base station 100.

[0078] For example, after the automatic pool cleaning device 200 is separated from the base station 100, the main water pump 101 will continue to operate to ensure that the dirt in the main filter assembly 102 and the first pipeline 103 is completely filtered, and the water in the base station 100 can be completely drained. That is, while the main water pump 101 continues to operate, the water discharged from the main filter assembly 102 is filtered twice and then flows into the pool.

[0079] Furthermore, the main water pump 101 is controlled to continue to operate, and stops working after one of the following conditions is met: continuing to work for a preset time; or detecting that the garbage stored in the first pipeline 103 meets a preset condition.

[0080] For example, the main water pump 101 is controlled to continue to operate for a predetermined time (e.g., 30 seconds), the dirt in the main filter assembly 102 is completely filtered, and the water in the base station 100 can be completely emptied. That is, the water flow discharged from the main filter assembly 102 is filtered twice and then flows into the pool. When the predetermined time is reached, the main water pump 101 stops working. The predetermined time can be set according to historical operation data and actual needs.

[0081] When it is detected that the garbage stored in the first pipeline 103 meets the preset condition and the garbage in the first pipeline 103 has been cleaned up, the main water pump 101 is controlled to stop working.

[0082] Further, the detecting that the garbage stored in the first pipeline 103 meets a preset condition includes: detecting turbidity in the first pipeline 103 by a turbidity sensor, and if the turbidity is less than a threshold value, the condition is met.

[0083] For example, the turbidity in the first pipeline 103 can be detected by a turbidity sensor, which can accurately detect the concentration of suspended particles in water, thereby reflecting the turbidity of the water. When the turbidity in the first pipeline 103 detected by the turbidity sensor is lower than a threshold value, it means that the garbage in the first pipeline 103 has been cleaned up, and the main water pump 101 is controlled to stop working. The threshold value can be obtained by analyzing historical operation data or statistical analysis or by the inventor through a limited number of experiments.

[0084] The base station provided by the present application not only improves the effect of cleaning dirt through the reasonable arrangement of various components, but also improves the reliability of the base station. At the same time, the diaphragm pump in the present application dynamically replenishes water for the base station to ensure that the dirt in the automatic pool cleaning device is smoothly sucked into the filter component, thereby ensuring the cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the electric valve in the present application prevents dirt from flowing back and blocking the pipeline, and can prevent the dirty water from flowing back into the pool or the automatic pool cleaning device, thereby further improving the cleaning effect.
