Description

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202510864464.5, filed on June 25, 2025, entitled “A Base Station and a Cleaning System”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and more particularly to a base station. Background Technology

[0003] Pool cleaning robots typically operate underwater, where water severely attenuates and shields electromagnetic waves, making it impossible to establish reliable communication between the robot and the terminal. This affects both remote real-time control and hinders the collection and transmission of operational data.

[0004] At present, floating relay base stations are often used to establish communication links. However, these base stations float on the water, are prone to displacement and overturning, and have poor working stability. In addition, their functions are limited to communication, resulting in poor overall practicality. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a base station to improve the technical problem of poor communication stability between existing base stations and cleaning equipment.

[0006] This invention provides a base station comprising an onshore component and an underwater component. The onshore component is fixed on the shore. The underwater component includes a main body and an underwater communication module. The main body is connected to the onshore component, and the underwater communication module is installed on the main body, with at least a portion of the underwater communication module located underwater, for communicating with the cleaning equipment when the equipment is underwater. The underwater component also includes a water quality detection component, installed on the onshore component and / or the main body, for detecting the water quality in the swimming pool.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The base station provided by this invention includes an onshore component and an underwater component. The onshore component is fixed on the shore, and the underwater component is connected to the onshore component through a main body, with the underwater communication module installed in the main body and at least partially underwater. Through this structural arrangement, the onshore component serves as a fixed support foundation, effectively avoiding the problems of easy displacement and capsizing of traditional floating relay base stations. This ensures that the underwater communication module maintains a stable attitude and fixed depth underwater, establishing a reliable and continuous communication link with the cleaning equipment, thereby improving the technical problem of poor communication stability between existing base stations and cleaning equipment. Simultaneously, the underwater component also integrates a water quality detection component, installed in the onshore component and / or the main body. This allows for simultaneous detection of pool water quality during normal base station operation, enabling the base station to perform water quality monitoring capabilities in addition to its communication relay function. This effectively solves the problems of limited functionality and poor practicality of existing base stations, enhancing the overall practicality and added value of the equipment.

[0011] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. Various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0012] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. The drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0013] In the following description, numerous details are explored to provide a more thorough explanation of embodiments of the invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form rather than in detail to avoid obscuring embodiments of the invention.

[0014] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a base station 8000 for communicating with cleaning equipment located in a swimming pool. The base station 8000 is fixedly supported by an onshore component 8100 and an underwater component 8200. An underwater communication module 8206 is fixed to the onshore component 8200 and maintains a stable posture, ensuring reliable communication with the underwater cleaning equipment and effectively improving communication stability. Simultaneously, a water quality detection component 8400 is integrated, enabling the base station 8000 to perform water quality monitoring during communication, thereby enhancing the overall practicality of the communication equipment.

[0015] Base stations are primarily used to establish communication between cleaning equipment and users. Whether the cleaning equipment is underwater or on the surface, users can interact with it via remote control, an app on their electronic device, or voice control. For example, if the cleaning equipment is operating at the bottom of a pool, the user can control it to stop its current operation and return to the surface or waterline. The user can then retrieve the equipment from the pool with a single click, allowing it to return to shore. Alternatively, the user can control the cleaning equipment to switch from the current cleaning mode to another. For instance, the current cleaning mode could be pool bottom cleaning, while other modes include pool wall cleaning, waterline cleaning, or surface cleaning. Or, while cleaning at the bottom, pool wall, or surface, the cleaning equipment can transmit its current cleaning path or location map to the user's electronic device's app interface, allowing the user to easily access the cleaning equipment's current location, cleaning path, or cleaning status online.

[0016] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the base station 8000 includes a shore-based component 8100 and an underwater component 8200. The shore-based component is fixed on the shore. The fixing method can be adhesive fixing, fastener fixing such as bolts, or welding fixing, etc. The underwater component includes a body part 8207 and an underwater communication module 8206. The body part is connected to the shore-based component, and the connection method can be snap-fit ​​fixing, fastener thread fixing, etc. The underwater communication module is installed on the body part, and at least a portion of the underwater communication module is located underwater. The underwater communication module is used to communicate with the cleaning equipment when the cleaning equipment is underwater.

[0017] The underwater communication module's communication methods include, but are not limited to, underwater acoustics (e.g., ultrasound, low-frequency underwater acoustics), light waves (e.g., LiFi, infrared), electromagnetic waves (e.g., underwater radio frequency), and wired communication. In some embodiments, the underwater communication module and the underwater cleaning equipment communicate unidirectionally. Specifically, the underwater communication module 8206 includes at least one underwater acoustic transmitter, and the cleaning equipment is correspondingly equipped with an underwater acoustic receiver to receive the underwater acoustic signals emitted by the transmitter. Alternatively, an underwater acoustic transmitter can be provided on the cleaning equipment, and an underwater acoustic receiver can be provided on the underwater communication module, so that the underwater communication module can receive signals emitted by the cleaning equipment. In some embodiments, the underwater communication module and the underwater cleaning equipment communicate bidirectionally. Specifically, both the underwater communication module and the cleaning equipment are equipped with both an underwater acoustic transmitter and a receiver, thus simultaneously possessing underwater acoustic transmission and reception functions.

[0018] The base station 8000 may also include a waterborne communication module (not shown), which is at least partially located above the water surface and is used to enable waterborne communication, including but not limited to communication with user terminals and cloud servers. In some embodiments, the waterborne communication module may be disposed on the shore-based component 8200, for example, on the portion of the shore-based component 8200 that protrudes above the water surface. Alternatively, the waterborne communication module may be disposed on the shore-based component 8100. The communication methods of the waterborne communication module include, but are not limited to, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, 5G, and LiFi.

[0019] The underwater communication module 8206 and the surface communication module can be connected via a line to enable communication between them, thus achieving communication between the surface and underwater. The following example illustrates the communication process implemented through the base station 8000. For instance, a user sends an operation command via a terminal device or button 8103. The surface communication module receives the command, generates a corresponding signal, and sends it to the underwater communication module 8206. Upon receiving the signal, the underwater communication module 8206 generates a corresponding underwater acoustic signal and sends it to the underwater cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment receives the underwater acoustic signal and performs the corresponding operation. As another example, the cleaning equipment collects an image containing a suspicious object underwater and sends it to the underwater communication module 8206 via an underwater acoustic transmitter. The underwater communication module 8206 receives the image and sends it to the surface communication module, which then uploads it to a cloud server. The server analyzes and confirms the type of suspicious object (e.g., an obstacle or dirt), and based on the analysis results, controls the cleaning equipment to perform corresponding operations (e.g., obstacle avoidance or cleaning). As yet another example, the cleaning equipment collects mapping data underwater and uploads it to shore, where the underwater map is displayed on the user's terminal.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The onshore component 8200 also includes a water quality monitoring component 8400, which is installed on the onshore component 8100 and / or the main body 8207 for monitoring the water quality in the pool. Further description of the water quality monitoring component is provided below.

[0021] Specifically, in one embodiment, the water quality detection component is mounted on the onshore component. In another embodiment, the water quality detection component is mounted on the main body. In other embodiments, the water quality detection component may be partially connected to the onshore component and partially connected to the main body.

[0022] The base station in this embodiment includes an onshore component and an underwater component. The onshore component is fixed on the shore, and the underwater component is connected to the onshore component via a main body, with the underwater communication module installed on the main body and at least partially underwater. Through this structural design, the onshore component serves as a fixed support foundation, effectively avoiding the problems of easy displacement and capsizing inherent in traditional floating relay base stations. This ensures that the underwater communication module maintains a stable attitude and fixed depth underwater, establishing a reliable and continuous communication link with the cleaning equipment, thereby improving the technical problem of poor communication stability between existing base stations and cleaning equipment. Simultaneously, the underwater component integrates a water quality monitoring component, installed on the onshore component and / or the main body. This component can simultaneously monitor the pool water quality during normal base station operation, enabling the base station to perform water quality monitoring capabilities in addition to its communication relay function. This effectively solves the problem of limited functionality and poor practicality of existing base stations, enhancing the overall practicality and added value of the equipment.

[0023] Please see Figures 6 to 9 In one embodiment of the present invention, the body portion 8207 has a first state and a second state relative to the base 8105. In the first state, the body portion 8207 is stacked above or below the base 8105, and the base station 8000 is in a retracted state. In the second state, the body portion 8207 extends downward relative to the base 8105, such that the body portion 8207 is at least partially located below the base, and the base station 8000 is in an operational state.

[0024] There are various methods for stacking the main body on top of or below the base in the first state. For example, in one embodiment, the main body is rotatably connected to the base via a hinge. In the first state, the main body flips upward and stacks on top of the base, with the two fitting together vertically. In the second state, the main body flips downward and unfolds, extending vertically down to the base. In another embodiment, the main body is rotatably connected to the side of the base via a hinge. In the first state, the main body flips and folds to the side of the base. In the second state, the main body flips outward and unfolds, extending downward down to the base. In yet another embodiment, the main body and the base are connected by a detachable connection structure. In the first state, the main body is removed and stacked on top of or below the base, separating and stacking together. In the second state, the main body is removed and installed in a predetermined position on the base, allowing it to extend downward.

[0025] In this embodiment, the main body has a first state and a second state relative to the base, and the state switching enables flexible switching between transportation and operation modes. In the first state, the main body is stacked on top of or below the base, resulting in a compact overall structure and significantly reduced volume, facilitating transportation. In the second state, the main body extends downwards relative to the base to the shore, ensuring the underwater communication module is stably positioned in the water and guaranteeing reliable base station operation. Switching between the two states is simple and can be completed by the user without the need for complex tools, balancing transportation convenience and operational reliability, thus improving the product's practicality and user experience.

[0026] Please see Figure 10 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 In one embodiment of the present invention, the shore-based component 8100 includes a base 8105, which is fixed to the shore. The fixing method includes adhesive fixing, fastener thread fixing, etc. The main body 8207 is fixedly installed on the base 8105 through a first connecting structure 8208.

[0027] Specifically, the main body is fixedly installed on the side of the base near the shore via a first connecting structure. The first connecting structure can be a slot and a block, one of which is located on the base, and the other on the main body. The main body and base are fixedly connected by the engagement of the block and the slot. The first connecting structure can also be a pin and hole with a plug-in fit, a sliding rail and a sliding groove with mutual engagement, or an ear plate structure connected by bolts, as long as it allows for a detachable and fixed connection between the main body and the base. The first connecting structure can also employ a magnetic adsorption connection method, where magnetic components are installed at corresponding positions on the base and the main body, allowing for quick fixing and positioning through magnetic force.

[0028] This invention features a base fixed to the shore, with the main body mounted on the base via a first connecting structure, forming a stable shore support. This prevents displacement or overturning due to water flow impact, ensuring communication stability. The base fixing method is flexible and adaptable to different shoreline materials, and the main body is positioned close to the shoreline, reducing space occupation and facilitating operation. The first connecting structure enables quick assembly and disassembly of the main body and base, facilitating equipment inspection and storage, and improving the convenience of installation and maintenance.

[0029] Please see Figure 10 , Figure 12 and Figure 13In one embodiment of the present invention, the first connecting structure 8208 includes a first groove 82081 and a first protrusion 82082. One of the first groove 82081 and the first protrusion 82082 is disposed on the base 8105, and the other of the first groove 82081 and the first protrusion 82082 is disposed on the body portion 8207. The first protrusion 82082 can be correspondingly inserted into the first groove 82081 to realize the snap-fit ​​fixation between the body portion 8207 and the base 8105.

[0030] Please participate Figures 13 to 16 Optionally, in one embodiment, the bottom wall of the first groove may be provided with a plurality of groove portions 82084, and the bottom wall of the first protrusion may be provided with a plurality of insertion portions 82083, with one insertion portion corresponding to one groove portion. When the first protrusion is inserted into the first groove from top to bottom, the insertion portion can be correspondingly inserted into the groove portion. This can form multiple insertion fixing points between the first protrusion and the first groove, thereby further increasing the connection strength between the main body and the base and improving the stability of the connection.

[0031] Alternatively, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 13 to 16 The first protrusion is also provided with a toggle part 82085, for example, the toggle part 82085 is located on the circumferential sidewall of the first protrusion, and the toggle part 82085 is provided with a third protrusion 82086. Correspondingly, the first groove is also provided with a third groove 82087, for example, the third groove 82087 is located on the circumferential sidewall of the first groove. When the first protrusion is inserted into the first groove from top to bottom, the third protrusion 82086 can be inserted into the third groove 82087, forming a locking connection point in the lateral direction. When it is necessary to disengage the first protrusion from the first groove, the third protrusion 82086 and the third groove 82087 can be disengaged by pressing or toggling the toggle part 82085, thereby facilitating the removal of the first protrusion from the first groove.

[0032] Of course, in other embodiments, the actuating part may be disposed on the circumferential sidewall of the first groove, and the third groove may be disposed on the circumferential sidewall of the first protrusion.

[0033] Optionally, please refer to the figure. Figures 114 to 116In one embodiment of the present invention, the circumferential sidewall of the first protrusion is further provided with a sixth slot 820821 and a seventh slot 820822, and the circumferential sidewall of the first groove is correspondingly provided with a sixth buckle 820814 and a seventh buckle 820815. When the first protrusion is inserted into the first groove from top to bottom, the sixth buckle 820814 is inserted into the sixth slot 820821, and the seventh buckle 820815 is inserted into the seventh slot 820822. Of course, in other embodiments, the circumferential sidewall of the first groove may also be provided with a sixth slot 820821 and a seventh slot 820822, and the circumferential sidewall of the first protrusion may be correspondingly provided with a sixth buckle 820814 and a seventh buckle 820815.

[0034] Optionally, please refer to Figure 11 In one embodiment of the present invention, the main body 8207 is rotatably mounted on the base 8105 via a first connecting structure 8208, and has a first rotatable position and a second rotatable position. In the first rotatable position, the main body is in a first state relative to the base, i.e., the main body is stacked above or below the base, and the base station 8000 is in a retracted state. In the second rotatable position, the main body is in a second state relative to the base, i.e., the main body extends downward relative to the base so that at least part of the main body is located below the base, and the base station is in an operational state.

[0035] The specific structure for the rotatable mounting is not limited. In one embodiment, the main body is rotatably mounted to the base via a hinge assembly.

[0036] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 11 The main body 8207 is rotatably mounted to the base 8105 via a rotating connection of a pivot 81091 and a mounting hole 81092. One of the pivot and the mounting hole is located on the base, and the other is located on the main body. The pivot passes through the mounting hole to achieve rotation. In the first rotation position, the main body rotates to a position below the base, and the base station is in a stowed state for easy transport. In the second rotation position, the main body rotates in the opposite direction to a position extending downwards relative to the base, and the base station is in an operational state. In this embodiment, the main body is rotatably mounted to the base via a first connecting structure and has a first rotation position and a second rotation position, allowing for convenient switching between the stowed and operational states through rotation.

[0037] Furthermore, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 55 and Figure 56The first connecting structure 8208 further includes a fifth slot 82088 and a fifth buckle 82089. The fifth slot is disposed on the groove wall of the first groove, and the fifth buckle is disposed on the side wall of the first protrusion. When the main body rotates relative to the base to the second rotation position, the fifth buckle rotates with the first protrusion to the position opposite to the fifth slot and engages in the fifth slot, thereby stopping and limiting the rotation of the main body relative to the base in the rotation direction, and achieving stable positioning of the main body at the second rotation position.

[0038] Of course, in other embodiments, a fifth buckle may be provided on the groove wall of the first groove, and a fifth slot may be provided on the side wall of the first protrusion. This arrangement can also achieve the same effect as in the embodiments described above.

[0039] Optionally, please refer to Figures 57 to 60 In one embodiment, the base 8105 has a second connecting portion 820811 and a second pressing portion 820812 on the side facing the main body 8207. A fourth opening 820813 is provided on the base near the second connecting portion. A fifth slot 82088 is provided at one end of the second connecting portion, and the other end of the second connecting portion 820811 has an inverted U-shaped bend structure. This bend structure extends from the fourth opening to the bottom of the base and connects to the second pressing portion. When the second pressing portion is pressed, the second connecting portion undergoes elastic deformation, thereby releasing the engagement between the fifth slot and the fifth latch, causing them to disengage. At this time, the main body can rotate downwards relative to the base until it is stacked under the base, forming a stored state.

[0040] Because the water level varies from the shore to different pools, in order to ensure that the underwater component 8200 is fully submerged for underwater communication, in some embodiments, a waterline scale can be provided on the underwater component. The base station can only function normally when the water level is at the specified waterline scale. Optionally, a minimum waterline scale can be marked on the underwater component. The base station can automatically activate when the water level is above this minimum waterline scale. For example, the minimum waterline scale can be set at a certain distance above the highest point of the underwater communication module (such as an underwater acoustic transmitter or receiver) to ensure that the underwater communication module is completely submerged. Optionally, when the water level is below the minimum waterline scale, the underwater communication module will go into sleep mode due to signal attenuation protection triggered by exposure to air. Of course, since there may be some components in the upper area of ​​the underwater component that are not suitable for underwater operation (such as the surface communication module set on the underwater component), a maximum waterline scale can also be marked on the surface component. The water level needs to be both above and below the minimum waterline scale. In some embodiments, a water ingress detection sensor may be provided at the waterline scale on the shore-based component to detect whether the shore-based component is installed at the appropriate water depth.

[0041] In some embodiments, the onshore component 8200 may integrate various other types of sensors. Optionally, the onshore component may include a temperature sensor for detecting pool water temperature. Data collected by each sensor can be transmitted to the shore via an underwater communication module or a surface communication module, for example, to a cloud server for pool status analysis, or sent to a user terminal to inform them of the pool status.

[0042] To facilitate retrieval of the cleaning equipment by users, in some embodiments, the cleaning equipment can be controlled to move to the base station 8000, allowing users to retrieve it from the shore adjacent to the base station. In some embodiments, a locking structure can be provided on the underwater component to lock the cleaning equipment upon reaching the base station, preventing it from drifting away from the shore and causing further retrieval difficulties. Optionally, the locking structure uses magnetic attraction. For example, a magnet is provided on the underwater component, and a magnetic metal is provided on the cleaning equipment. When the cleaning equipment moves to the underwater component, the magnet attracts the metal, causing the underwater component to magnetically fix the cleaning equipment. Optionally, since the front end of the cleaning equipment approaches the base station first during its movement, the metal can be placed at the front end of the cleaning equipment, so that it is attracted as soon as it approaches the base station.

[0043] In some embodiments, the base station has a shore arrival reminder function, sending a reminder to the user when the cleaning equipment reaches the base station, facilitating the user to retrieve the cleaning equipment in a timely manner. The reminder can be implemented by setting up sound and / or light emission devices on the base station, or by sending the reminder to the user terminal via an underwater communication module. Optionally, the distance from the cleaning equipment to the base station can be determined by an underwater communication module; when the distance is less than a preset value, it is determined that the cleaning equipment has reached the base station, and a reminder is issued. Optionally, the base station is equipped with an additional shore arrival detection unit. The shore arrival detection unit can use a contact sensor, such as a pressure sensor or a mechanical microswitch. When the cleaning equipment comes into contact with the base station, the contact sensor generates an electrical signal, allowing the base station to determine that the cleaning equipment has reached the shore. The shore arrival detection unit can also use a non-contact sensor, such as an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or a lidar sensor, to determine whether the person in the pool has reached the shore by detecting the distance of the cleaning equipment from the base station.

[0044] In some embodiments, the base station has a wireless charging function to charge the cleaning equipment. Optionally, a wireless charging transmitter module is integrated within the onshore component, which supplies power to the cleaning equipment when it approaches the shore and comes into contact with the charging area of ​​the onshore component. Optionally, a wireless charging transmitter module is integrated within the onshore component, allowing users to place the cleaning equipment at the charging location of the onshore component for charging.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4One or more buttons 8103 can be provided on the base station 8000 for user operation. In some embodiments, the buttons can be located on the shore component 8100 for convenient user operation. Different functions can be achieved through different buttons, or through short or long presses of the same button, or through combinations of different buttons. Optionally, the cleaning mode can be switched using the buttons, or the cleaning equipment can be started / paused using the buttons. Optionally, the cleaning equipment can be summoned to shore using the buttons. Other functions can also be achieved using the buttons, including but not limited to controlling the base station to enter pairing mode, triggering a hotspot, and restoring factory settings.

[0046] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the base station 8000 also includes a reagent dispensing component 8300 for dispensing reagents into the pool. The user can activate the reagent dispensing function via button 8103. Further description of reagent dispensing is provided below. Optionally, after the user operates via the button, the drive box 8102 within the onshore component 8100 can directly send instructions to the underwater communication module, which then sends a signal to the underwater cleaning equipment. Upon receiving the signal, the cleaning equipment performs the corresponding operation. Of course, the functions achievable via the button can also be achieved through the user terminal; in this case, the surface communication module needs to receive the signal first and then transmit it to the underwater communication module.

[0047] In addition to communicating with underwater cleaning equipment, the base station can also communicate with the cleaning equipment when it is located on the water surface in some embodiments. Optionally, in surface communication mode, the base station only uses the surface communication module and does not need to call the underwater communication module. For example, the user operates buttons or the user terminal generates commands, which are then sent to the cleaning equipment on the water surface by the surface communication module. As another example, the cleaning equipment can send the collected water surface mapping data to the surface communication module, which then uploads it to a cloud server and / or the user terminal.

[0048] In some embodiments, data related to the pesticide dispensing component can be uploaded to shore via a base station. For example, the remaining pesticide dosage in the pesticide storage component can be sent to the user terminal, or a reminder can be sent to the user when the remaining dosage is insufficient. Another example is that a warning can be sent to the user when the pesticide dispensing component malfunctions. Yet another example is that historical pesticide dispensing data can be uploaded to a cloud server, which can then generate a pesticide dispensing history analysis report and send it to the user.

[0049] In some embodiments, the water quality testing component 8400 is detachably mounted on the main body 8207. Further description of the water quality testing component 8400 is provided below.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 The water quality detection component 8400 can integrate a connector terminal (not shown), and the onshore component has a corresponding socket 8104, forming a quick electrical interface. When installing the water quality detection component, the connector terminal can be inserted into the socket to electrically connect the water quality detection component to the drive box 8102 in the onshore component, thereby controlling the water quality detection component through the drive box. The socket can be located on the side wall of the onshore component 8100. The socket is only an example; it can be located anywhere on the onshore component as needed. The connector terminal on the water quality detection component can extend via a wire for flexible connection to the socket on the onshore component. Alternatively, the water quality detection component itself can also include a drive box and / or battery, allowing for independent driving and / or power supply from the base station.

[0051] In some embodiments, data from the water quality monitoring components can be uploaded to shore via a base station. For example, water quality data detected at different times can be uploaded to a cloud server, allowing for analysis of water quality changes and prediction of future water quality.

[0052] Please refer to the figure. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the pesticide application component 8300 and the water quality detection component 8400 are respectively located on both sides of the main body 8207, which results in a more symmetrical overall appearance and ensures the overall weight balance of the onshore component 8200 as much as possible. Optionally, please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 Sockets are provided on both sides of the base for connecting the terminals on the chemical dispensing component and the water quality monitoring component. Of course, both the chemical dispensing component and the water quality monitoring component are optional components; users can choose whether to install them according to their needs.

[0053] In some embodiments, the operation of the chemical dispensing component can be controlled based on the water quality data detected by the water quality monitoring component 8400. For example, when the water quality monitoring component detects that the water quality is below a preset value, it drives the chemical dispensing component to dispense chemicals to improve the water quality. Optionally, both the data from the water quality monitoring component and the data from the chemical dispensing component can be uploaded to a cloud server. Based on this data, an analysis report can be generated to demonstrate the effect of chemical dispensing on water quality improvement. Further analysis can also be used to generate water quality improvement plans, such as increasing or decreasing the frequency of chemical dispensing or changing the type of chemical.

[0054] Please see Figure 19 and Figure 20 In one embodiment of the present invention, the shore-based component 8100 includes a base 8105 and a positioning plate 8107. The positioning plate is fixed on the shore, and the base and the positioning plate are detachably connected.

[0055] Specifically, the detachable connection can have various structures. For example, in one embodiment, the base and the positioning plate are fixedly connected by multiple bolts. In another embodiment, the base and the positioning plate are connected by hooks and slots. This configuration allows the base to be quickly installed or removed from the positioning plate as needed, facilitating the assembly, maintenance, replacement, or seasonal storage of the equipment.

[0056] Optionally, please refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 In one embodiment, the base 8105 has a positioning groove 81053 at its bottom. The base engages with the positioning plate through the positioning groove to achieve the installation and positioning of the base on the shore. Specifically, the positioning plate can be pre-fixed at the installation position on the shore, and the fixing method can be adhesive, threaded fastening, or pre-embedding. The positioning plate protrudes from the shore surface at a certain height, and its outer edge contour matches the inner wall shape of the positioning groove.

[0057] When installing the base, align the positioning groove on the bottom of the base with the positioning plate and place it downwards, allowing the positioning plate to embed into the positioning groove. The interlocking action of the two ensures the base is horizontally positioned and prevents it from shifting or rotating on the shore. Alternatively, during the initial installation, the entire base station with the positioning plate attached can be installed on the shore. When the base station needs to be removed, the positioning plate and the base station can be released, allowing only the base station to be removed. When the base station needs to be reinstalled, only the base station and the positioning plate need to be reattached.

[0058] Optionally, the positioning groove can be configured as an elongated groove extending along the length of the base, and the positioning plate can be configured as an elongated boss, thereby limiting the displacement of the base in the width direction while achieving positioning. Optionally, the fit between the positioning plate and the positioning groove can be configured as an interference fit to enhance the tightness of the connection between the two. After positioning is completed, the base can be further fixed to the shore surface by a fastening structure to ensure the stability of the base during use.

[0059] Of course, in other embodiments, the positioning plate may be provided with a positioning groove, and the base may be provided with a corresponding protrusion structure. The protrusion structure is engaged in the positioning groove to realize the installation and positioning of the base on the shore.

[0060] Further, please refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20In one embodiment of the present invention, a first engaging structure 8110 is further provided between the positioning plate 8107 and the positioning groove 81053. Specifically, the first engaging structure includes a first buckle 8111 and a first groove 8112. One of the first buckle and the first groove is disposed on the side of the base near the positioning groove, and the other of the first buckle and the first groove is disposed on the positioning plate. After the positioning plate and the positioning groove are installed in place, the first buckle and the first groove engage with each other to lock the relative position of the base and the positioning plate, preventing the base from detaching from the positioning plate due to water flow impact or accidental contact.

[0061] Please see Figure 21 and Figure 22 In one embodiment of the present invention, the body portion 8207 includes a straight portion 82071 and a recessed portion 82072 on the side facing the shore. The straight portion is used to abut against the side wall of the pool. The straight portion is generally vertical and planar. The recessed portion is disposed above the straight portion and recessed towards the side away from the shore assembly, and the recessed portion is used to accommodate at least a portion of the edge of the pool.

[0062] In this embodiment, by abutting against the side wall of the pool with the flat portion, it is ensured that the main body maintains stable surface contact with the pool edge during operation, preventing shaking or displacement caused by water flow impact or equipment vibration, thus improving the overall operational stability of the base station. Simultaneously, the recessed portion above the flat portion can accommodate at least a portion of the pool edge, allowing the main body to form a non-collision fit with pool edges of different structures and shapes. This avoids the main body being unable to fit properly or being unstable due to protruding pool edge structures, enhancing the base station's adaptability to different pool edge structures.

[0063] Please see Figure 23 In one embodiment of the present invention, the onshore component 8200 further includes a support block 8209, which is disposed on the body portion 8207. The support block protrudes relative to the side of the body portion facing the onshore component and is used to abut against the side wall of the pool.

[0064] The support block can be fixed to the main body using a fixed installation method or installed using a detachable installation method. The support block can be made of elastic and wear-resistant materials such as nylon, rubber, or plastic. One or more support blocks can be used, with the specific number selected according to actual abutment requirements. The support block can be configured as a single structural component or as an assembly of multiple sub-components stacked in the thickness direction, allowing for adjustment of the abutment thickness on-site according to actual gaps.

[0065] In this embodiment, the support block protrudes from the side of the main body facing the onshore components, and is used to abut against the pool sidewall. This effectively prevents the main body from shifting due to water flow impact or vibration, ensuring the stability of the underwater communication module's working position and guaranteeing communication reliability. Please see Figures 23 to 25In one embodiment of the present invention, the support block 8209 is detachably connected to the body part 8207 via the second connecting structure 8210. Specifically, the second connection structure can adopt any one or more combinations of the following methods. For example, a threaded connection can be used, where the support block and the main body have corresponding through holes and threaded holes, and are locked by fastening screws. Alternatively, a snap-fit ​​connection can be used, where the support block and the main body are provided with corresponding snap-fits and slots, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly by pressing the snap-fits into or out of the slots. In this embodiment, the support block is detachably connected to the main body via the second connection structure, facilitating the flexible replacement of support blocks of different thicknesses or materials according to the actual installation environment, to adapt to different pool wall spacing and material requirements.

[0066] Please see Figures 23 to 25 In one embodiment of the present invention, the second connecting structure 8210 includes a second guide rail 82101 and a second slide groove 82102. One of the second guide rail and the second slide groove is disposed on the support block, and the other is disposed on the main body. The support block and the main body are detachably connected by sliding the second guide rail and the second slide groove.

[0067] Specifically, in one embodiment, the second guide rail 82101 is disposed on the support block 8209, and the second slide groove 82102 is disposed on the body portion 8207. During installation, the second guide rail on the support block is aligned with the port of the second slide groove on the body portion and pushed in to achieve sliding assembly. During disassembly, it can be removed by sliding in the reverse direction. In another embodiment, the positions of the second guide rail and the second slide groove can be interchanged. Optionally, the opening of the second slide groove can be provided with a limiting point or a positioning lock to prevent the support block from accidentally slipping off during use.

[0068] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the onshore component 8100 further includes a solar panel 8101, which converts solar energy into electrical energy to power the base station. The solar panel is mounted on a base 8105. The underwater component 8200 further includes a battery pack, which is mounted on the body 8207 and is used to store the electrical energy converted by the solar panel and / or electrical energy provided by an external power source. The underwater communication module, water quality detection component, and / or reagent dispensing component are electrically connected to the battery pack.

[0069] Specifically, in one embodiment, the battery pack is used only to store electrical energy converted by the solar panels. In another embodiment, the battery pack is used only to store electrical energy supplied by an external power source. In other embodiments, the battery pack can store both electrical energy converted by the solar panels and electrical energy supplied by an external power source.

[0070] The solar panels can be fixedly installed on the top and / or sides of the base, facing the sunniest direction to maximize the solar radiation reception area. The solar panels are electrically connected to the battery pack via waterproof cables. These cables can be run between the base and the main body or along its exterior, and can also be sheathed with protective tubing to prevent damage. The battery pack can be housed within a cavity inside the main body, which is sealed to prevent water ingress and ensure battery safety. The battery pack is also detachably electrically connected to the underwater communication module and water quality monitoring components via waterproof connectors, facilitating individual module replacement or maintenance.

[0071] In this embodiment, the solar panel converts solar energy into electrical energy and stores it in the battery pack to power the underwater communication module and water quality detection components, thus enabling the base station to operate on its own without relying on external mains power.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present invention, the battery pack is installed on the main body 8207, and the underwater communication module and water quality detection component are both electrically connected to the battery pack. The battery pack is provided with a charging interface for connecting to an external power source to charge the battery pack.

[0073] It should be noted that, provided the battery pack has a charging interface, solar panels can be installed on the base or not, depending on actual needs. When solar panels are installed on the base, they can also charge the battery pack, achieving dual power supply from solar energy and external power. When solar panels are not installed on the base, the battery pack is charged only through the charging interface connected to an external power source. In this embodiment, the battery pack has a charging interface, allowing it to be charged by connecting to an external power source, enabling the battery pack to quickly and conveniently replenish its power when its charge is low, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the base station. Furthermore, the installation of this charging interface expands the charging methods for the battery pack. It can be combined with solar panels to form a self-supplied power supply system that complements solar energy storage, or it can rely solely on an external power source. Users can flexibly choose the power supply solution based on the actual installation environment (such as whether there is sufficient sunlight, whether it is easy to lay power cables, etc.).

[0074] Please see Figure 16 In one embodiment of the present invention, the base 8105 includes a receiving cavity 81051, a support member 81052 is disposed in the receiving cavity, and the solar panel 8101 is mounted on the upper surface of the support member 81052.

[0075] Specifically, the accommodating cavity includes a first sidewall 81055 and a first bottom wall 81056. A support member is disposed on the first bottom wall, and the solar panel covers the opening of the accommodating cavity. The first bottom wall can be integrally formed and connected with the first sidewall, or it can be separately disposed and fixedly connected by fasteners or snap-fits. The specific structure of the support member is not limited; it can be a frame structure formed by multiple support plates, or a structure of multiple support columns, etc.

[0076] The support member can be integrally formed with the first bottom wall, or it can be a separate component from the first bottom wall. This embodiment is not limited to either.

[0077] Optionally, please refer to Figure 27 In one embodiment, the support member 81052 and the first bottom wall 81056 are separately configured. The support member includes a second top wall 810522 and a second side wall 810521, with a receiving space formed between the second top wall and the second side wall. The shore-based component 8100 also includes a drive box 8102, which integrates a control circuit. The battery pack, underwater communication module, and water quality detection component are all electrically connected to the control circuit. The receiving space has a downward-opening structure, with the first bottom wall sealing the opening of the receiving space, and the drive box is housed within the receiving space.

[0078] It should be noted that the control circuit is not limited to driving the battery pack, the underwater communication module 8206, and the water quality detection component. It can also be used to drive other electrical components on the base station (such as the agent dispensing component, indicator lights, buzzers, etc.) to perform corresponding operations. In other words, the control circuit, as the core control unit of the base station, manages the power supply and signal control of all electrical loads on the base station in a coordinated manner.

[0079] The second sidewall 810521 is provided with a first drain outlet 81086 for draining water accumulated in the receiving space. The first sidewall 81055 and / or the first bottom wall 81056 are provided with a second drain outlet (not shown in the figure) for draining water accumulated in the receiving cavity 81051 or the receiving space to the outside of the base 8105. This prevents water from accumulating in the receiving cavity and soaking the support components, cables or electrical components, avoiding corrosion or short circuit failures, and ensuring the dryness and safety of the components inside the base.

[0080] In this embodiment, by setting up support members, stable support can be provided for the solar panel, ensuring that the solar panel remains flat during operation and is not easily deformed or damaged by external forces.

[0081] Optionally, please refer to Figure 27 In one embodiment, the second top wall 810522 is provided with a weight-reducing hole 81085. The weight-reducing hole is provided through the thickness direction of the second top wall, which helps to reduce the structural weight and also meets the heat dissipation requirements of the top wall.

[0082] Optionally, please refer to Figure 27 In one embodiment, the second sidewall 810521 facing the main body is provided with a first through hole 81087, and the sidewall of the first groove 82081 is provided with a second through hole 81088. The cable led out from the inside of the main body passes through the second through hole and the first through hole in sequence, enters the accommodating cavity, and is electrically connected to the drive box.

[0083] Further, please refer to Figure 27 In one embodiment, the drive box 8102 is disposed on the side of the base 8105 near the pool edge, that is, adjacent to the first recess. The wiring port of the drive box is positioned opposite the second wiring hole, which facilitates cable routing. In addition, the button 8103 on the base is also disposed on the same side of the base near the pool edge, making it convenient for the user to perform wiring operations and button control.

[0084] In another embodiment, please refer to Figures 28 to 30 The support member 81052 is a support rib structure, and its specific form includes, but is not limited to, a star-shaped, grid-shaped, or square-shaped structure. The support member can be directly installed on the first bottom wall 81056, or it can be integrally formed and connected to the first bottom wall. The solar panel 8101 is installed on the side of the support member away from the first bottom wall and abuts against the support member, thereby providing stable support for the solar panel. Furthermore, the support rib structure encloses multiple grid-like spaces to reduce overall weight while ensuring support strength.

[0085] Further, please refer to Figures 28 to 30 In one implementation, the drive box is located on the side of the base away from the shore. The corresponding buttons are also located near the drive box, that is, on the side of the base away from the case.

[0086] The side wall of the first groove 82081 is provided with a second through hole 81088, and the inside of the support member 81052 is provided with a first cable channel 810523, which connects the second through hole and the wiring port of the drive box. The cable led out from the inside of the main body passes through the second through hole and the first cable channel in sequence and is electrically connected to the drive box.

[0087] Please see Figure 28 In one embodiment of the present invention, the shore-based component 8100 further includes a counterweight 81089, which is disposed within the accommodating cavity 81051. The number and specific location of the counterweights are not limited, as long as the placement of the counterweights increases the stability of the base installation. The counterweights can be made of low-cost materials such as cast iron, concrete, or sandbags.

[0088] Specifically, the counterweight can be directly fixed to the first bottom wall 81056 or installed on the support member 81052. The only requirement is that the counterweight be fixed relative to the base.

[0089] Alternatively, in one embodiment, as Figure 28 As shown, the support structure comprises multiple grid structures, some of which are filled with counterweights. By placing counterweights within the accommodating cavity, the overall weight of the base can be effectively increased, enhancing its anti-overturning capability and stability on land.

[0090] Please see Figures 31 to 38In one embodiment of the present invention, the main body includes a mounting base 8201 and a first housing 8202. The mounting base is connected to the base and forms a first receiving cavity 8203 with the first housing. A second receiving cavity 8204 is provided in the first receiving cavity, and the battery pack is disposed in the second receiving cavity.

[0091] Specifically, the mounting base serves as the supporting frame for the main body, with one side fixedly connected to the base and the other side engaging and fixedly connected to the first housing. The mounting base and the first housing together form a first receiving cavity, which is a hollow, sealed cavity structure used to house and protect internal components. The underwater communication module is installed below the first receiving cavity.

[0092] The second receiving cavity is an upward-opening cavity structure. The second receiving cavity may be formed by a partial recess in the inner wall of the first housing, or it may be formed by a protruding surrounding plate on the mounting base, or it may be a box structure independently set in the first receiving cavity. The opening of the second receiving cavity faces upward, and the battery pack is placed in the second receiving cavity through this opening.

[0093] Please see Figure 31 In one embodiment, the second receiving cavity 8204 is located above the water surface. That is, when the onshore component 8200 is in operation, the bottom and the surrounding walls of the second receiving cavity are higher than the preset working water level, ensuring that the entire cavity is above the water surface, so that the battery pack located in the second receiving cavity is always in a dry environment and does not come into contact with the liquid in the pool.

[0094] In another embodiment, the second receiving cavity is at least partially located below the water surface, and the battery pack is positioned in the upper part of the second receiving cavity, i.e., near its opening, and is always above the water surface. Thus, even if water enters the second receiving cavity, the battery pack, being located in the upper part of the second receiving cavity, will not come into contact with the water in the pool.

[0095] Please see Figure 32 and Figure 36 In another embodiment, the second receiving cavity is a sealed cavity, at least partially located below the water surface. The battery pack is at least partially disposed within the region below the water surface in the second receiving cavity. The walls of the second receiving cavity may selectively be in direct contact with the liquid in the pool to allow heat to be transferred directly from the cavity walls to the water. Alternatively, the walls of the second receiving cavity may not be in direct contact with the pool liquid, but rather the heat from the battery pack may be conducted to the pool liquid through its connection path with the mounting base or the first housing. Regardless of the method used, cooling and heat dissipation of the battery pack can be achieved.

[0096] Please see Figure 36 and Figure 37In one embodiment of the present invention, the first receiving cavity 8203 is provided with a fourth water inlet 82031. Liquid in the pool enters the first receiving cavity through the fourth water inlet and comes into contact with at least a portion of the outer wall of the second receiving cavity. Thus, after the outer wall of the second receiving cavity comes into direct contact with the liquid entering the first receiving cavity, the heat generated by the battery pack during operation can be transferred to the liquid through the cavity wall of the second receiving cavity, and the heat is carried away by the flow of the liquid, thereby achieving continuous cooling and effective heat dissipation of the battery pack.

[0097] Please see Figures 39 to 42 In one embodiment of the present invention, the first receiving cavity 8203 has an upward-facing first opening 82032, and the second receiving cavity 8204 has an upward-facing second opening 82041, the second opening passing through the first opening. The battery pack can be removed from the second opening. A top cover 8205 is provided at the first opening, the top cover is mounted on the mounting base and / or the first housing, and can cover the first and second openings. The top cover and the mounting base can be detachably connected by fasteners or snap-fits.

[0098] Specifically, in one embodiment, one end of the upper cover 8205 is rotatably connected to the first housing 8202 (e.g., a pivot connection or a hinge connection), while other parts of the upper cover are fixedly engaged with the first housing and the mounting base via a snap-fit ​​structure. The snap-fit ​​structure includes a cooperating second buckle and a second hook, one of which is disposed on the first housing and / or the mounting base, and the other on the upper cover. The fixed connection between the upper cover and the first housing and the mounting base is achieved through the mutual engagement of the second buckle and the second hook.

[0099] With this design, when the top cover needs to be opened, simply release the locking mechanism, and the top cover can be flipped open using the end that is rotatably connected to the first housing as the axis, making the operation convenient and efficient.

[0100] In another embodiment, the top cover may be secured to the mounting base and the first housing via snap-fit ​​structures on all four sides. When the top cover is opened, it can be directly detached from the first opening.

[0101] Please see Figure 40 Optionally, in one embodiment, a first annular groove 82073 is formed at one end of the body near the first opening 82032. When the upper cover is closed on the first opening, at least part of the outer periphery of the upper cover is accommodated in the first annular groove and a snap-fit ​​connection is formed between it and the side wall of the first annular groove.

[0102] Please see Figure 40 The bottom wall of the first annular groove is provided with a third drainage hole 82074, which is connected to the outside of the main body and is used to drain the water accumulated in the first annular groove in a timely manner.

[0103] Please see Figure 46 and Figure 47Optionally, in one embodiment, a battery pack is disposed within the second receiving cavity 8204, and a top cover 8205 is fitted over the first opening 82032. A third cable outlet 82011 is provided on the side of the mounting base facing the base. This third cable outlet is opposite to and communicates with the second cable through hole 81088 on the base. Cables leading from the second receiving cavity pass through the third cable outlet and into the second cable through hole.

[0104] Please see Figure 36 and Figure 37 In one embodiment of the present invention, the battery pack is disposed in the second receiving cavity, and the first receiving cavity is provided with a fourth water inlet. Liquid in the pool enters the first receiving cavity through the fourth water inlet and contacts at least part of the outer wall of the second receiving cavity.

[0105] Specifically, a fourth inlet is located on the side or bottom wall of the first housing or mounting base, for communicating the first receiving cavity with the liquid in the external swimming pool. The liquid in the pool enters the first receiving cavity through the fourth inlet, filling at least a portion of the space and causing the liquid to contact the outer wall of the second receiving cavity. The second receiving cavity is a completely sealed structure, its interior kept dry, and the battery pack is housed within the second receiving cavity without direct contact with the liquid entering the first receiving cavity.

[0106] Please see Figure 34 , Figure 43 and Figure 44 In one embodiment of the present invention, the second receiving cavity is located at least below the water surface, and the battery pack is disposed in the second receiving cavity. The first opening is provided with a top cover, a first cover plate 8212 and a locking structure 8213. The first cover plate seals the second opening through the locking structure. The top cover is disposed above the first cover plate and fixed to the mounting base for sealing the first opening.

[0107] Specifically, the outline of the first cover plate is adapted to the shape of the second opening, and it is detachably installed at the second opening via a locking structure to separately close the second receiving cavity. The locking structure can be achieved by means of snap-fit ​​connection, threaded connection, or rotary lock to achieve a sealed cover between the first cover plate and the second opening.

[0108] The top cover is positioned above the first cover plate and is fixedly installed on the mounting base (e.g., by screws or clips) to completely seal the first opening, thereby providing overall protection for the first receiving cavity.

[0109] In this embodiment, the first cover plate independently seals the second opening through a locking structure, achieving individual sealing protection for the battery pack and preventing moisture or foreign objects from entering the second receiving cavity, thus ensuring the dryness and safety of the battery pack. The upper cover is positioned above the first cover plate and seals the first opening, achieving overall sealing of the first receiving cavity and forming a double protection structure.

[0110] Please see Figure 34 , Figure 43 , Figure 44 and Figure 45 In one embodiment of the present invention, one side of the first cover plate 8212 is rotatably connected to the wall of the second receiving cavity 8204, and the locking structure 8213 is disposed on the other side of the first cover plate. The locking structure includes a locking part 82131, a connecting part 82132, and a slot part 82133. One end of the connecting part 82132 is rotatably connected to the wall of the second receiving cavity 8204, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the locking part. The other end of the locking part is provided with a hook part 82134, and the slot part is disposed on the first cover plate. The hook part and the slot part are engaged and fixed with each other.

[0111] Specifically, the first cover plate is rotatably connected to the top wall or side wall of the second receiving cavity via a hinge or pivot, allowing the first cover plate to be flipped around the hinge axis to open or close the second opening. A locking structure is provided on the other side of the first cover plate opposite to the hinge axis to lock the first cover plate in the closed position.

[0112] The connecting part is generally plate-shaped or block-shaped. One end of the connecting part is rotatably connected to the wall of the second receiving cavity (such as the outer wall of the cavity edge) via a first rotating shaft, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the locking part via a second rotating shaft. That is, the two ends of the connecting part respectively constitute rotating hinge points. The other end of the locking part is provided with a hook part 82134, which is generally a hook-shaped protrusion. The slot part is provided on the edge or upper surface of the first cover plate and has a slot or groove that matches the contour of the hook part.

[0113] Please see Figures 43 to 45 Optionally, in one embodiment, the locking part 82131 further includes a pressing part 82135 exposed on the outside of the upper cover. When the first cover needs to be opened, pressing the pressing part 82135 can unlock the slot part and the hook part.

[0114] After the first cover plate rotates and closes at the second opening, pressing the locking part downwards causes the connecting part to rotate, and the hook part engages with the slot part. The hook shape then creates a self-locking mechanism, keeping the first cover plate sealed. In this embodiment, the locking structure allows for quick opening, closing, and locking of the first cover plate, which can be done manually without additional tools, making operation convenient.

[0115] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the water quality testing component 8400 includes a third housing 8401 and a testing module 8405. The testing module is installed inside the third housing, and the third housing is installed on the main body 8207 and / or the onshore component 8100.

[0116] In this embodiment, the detection module is integrated into the third housing, facilitating modular production and installation. The third housing can be flexibly installed on the main body or onshore components as needed.

[0117] Specifically, the third housing is a hollow, sealed, or openable box structure. The detection module is housed inside the third housing, which enables integrated installation and protection of the detection module. The third housing can be installed on the main body (e.g., fixed to the outer wall of the main body or embedded inside the main body), on the shore-based component (e.g., fixed to the base), or on both, depending on actual needs.

[0118] The detection module can be positioned underwater or near the water surface for real-time in-situ detection in direct contact with or near the pool water. Alternatively, pool water samples can be introduced into the third housing via pipelines and a suction assembly for testing. This enables efficient detection of water quality parameters such as pH, residual chlorine, turbidity, and temperature, featuring fast response and high data accuracy. The third housing can be detachably connected to the main body using threaded connections, snap-fit ​​connections, or screw fixation, facilitating routine maintenance and quick replacement of the detection module.

[0119] Optionally, please refer to Figure 18 The third housing may also integrate a signal processing circuit, which converts the analog signals collected by the detection module into digital signals and transmits them to the control circuit of the driver box via wired or wireless means or directly uploads them to the user terminal.

[0120] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 18 The third housing 8401 is provided with a terminal block 84011 for leading out the cable from the detection module 8405. The side wall of the base 8105 is provided with a socket 8104, which is electrically connected to the drive box. The cable leading out from the terminal block is electrically connected to the socket, thereby realizing signal transmission between the detection module and the drive box.

[0121] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 48 The third housing has wiring terminals for leading out cables from the detection module. A waterproof connector 81057 is located on the side wall of the base, which is electrically connected to the drive box. Cables leading from the wiring terminals are electrically connected to the waterproof connector to enable signal transmission between the detection module and the drive box. By providing a waterproof connector on the side wall of the base, external water (such as liquid in a swimming pool) can be effectively prevented from seeping into the base along the cables, thus ensuring the safe operation of the drive box and other internal electrical components, significantly improving the overall waterproof performance and long-term reliability of the device.

[0122] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the third housing 8401 is detachably mounted to the main body 8207 via the third connecting structure 8406. Specifically, the third connection structure can adopt any one or more combinations of the following methods: Threaded connection, where the third housing and the main body each have corresponding through holes and threaded holes, secured by fastening screws, ensuring reliable connection and easy assembly / disassembly. Snap-fit ​​connection, where both are provided with corresponding snap-fits and slots, allowing for quick assembly / disassembly by pressing the snap-fits into or out of the slots, without tools. Insertion connection, where both are provided with corresponding insertion protrusions and insertion holes. The insertion protrusion can be designed as a flexible barb structure; after insertion, the barb engages with the hole wall to prevent detachment, and can be pulled out by pressing the barb.

[0123] In this embodiment, the third housing is detachably installed on the main body through the third connecting structure, which makes it convenient for users to flexibly install, disassemble or replace the water quality testing components according to actual testing needs, without having to replace the entire main body, thus reducing maintenance costs.

[0124] Please see Figures 51 to 52 In one embodiment of the present invention, the third connecting structure 8406 includes a third slot 84061 and a third buckle 84062, which are respectively disposed on the main body 8207 and the third housing 8401. The third buckle can be engaged or disengaged from the third slot to realize a detachable connection between the main body and the third housing.

[0125] Specifically, in one embodiment, the third slot is disposed in the main body, and the third latch is disposed in the third housing. In another embodiment, the third slot is disposed in the third housing, and the third latch is disposed in the main body. That is, the positions of the two can be interchanged.

[0126] During installation, align the third clip with the third slot and press it down. The third clip will elastically deform under pressure, and the hook will slide into the third slot. After it reaches its final position, the third clip will elastically return to its original position, and the hook will engage with the positioning surface or positioning hole of the third slot, achieving automatic locking. During disassembly, press or move the third clip to cause it to elastically deform, and the hook will disengage from the third slot, allowing the third clip to be removed from the third slot, thus achieving separation.

[0127] Optionally, the third buckle can be configured as a cantilevered elastic arm structure, with one end fixed to the third housing or main body, and the other end being a free end equipped with a hook. During operation, simply pressing the free end is sufficient to disengage the hook, making operation simple. Optionally, multiple sets (such as two or four sets) of the third buckle and the third slot can be arranged along the circumference of the third housing to enhance the uniformity and stability of the connection.

[0128] It should be noted that the engagement and disengagement directions of the third latch and the third slot are not limited and can be flexibly set according to the specific structure and operating space of the main body and the third housing. For example, the third latch can engage or disengage from the third slot along the height direction (i.e., the vertical direction) of the main body. Or, for another example, the third latch can engage or disengage from the third slot along the width direction (i.e., the horizontal direction) of the main body. Please see Figure 51 and Figure 53 In one embodiment of the present invention, the engagement direction of the third slot and the third buckle is perpendicular to the height direction of the main body. That is, the engagement direction is horizontal (such as the width or length direction of the main body). In this structure, the third buckle engages or disengages from the third slot in a horizontal direction.

[0129] Optionally, please refer to Figure 52 and Figure 54 A fourth slot 84067 is provided on the wall of the third slot 84061, and a fourth buckle 84066 is provided on the side wall of the third buckle 84062. When the third buckle is inserted into the third slot in the insertion direction, the fourth buckle moves synchronously with the third buckle, and when the third buckle is fully in place, the fourth buckle is inserted into the fourth slot.

[0130] Of course, in other embodiments, the third slot may have a fourth latch on its sidewall, and the third latch may have a fourth slot on its sidewall. The same beneficial effects as in the previous embodiment can be achieved.

[0131] Please refer to 61 to Figure 65 In one embodiment of the present invention, the third connecting structure includes a third sliding groove 84063 and a third slider 84064. One of the third sliding groove and the third slider is disposed in the main body, and the other of the third sliding groove and the third slider is disposed in the third housing. The third slider can slide along the third sliding groove to a locked position to achieve a detachable connection between the main body and the third housing.

[0132] In one embodiment, a third slide groove is disposed on the main body, and a third slider is disposed on the third housing. In another embodiment, a third slide groove is disposed on the third housing, and a third slider is disposed on the main body.

[0133] The third slide groove is a guide groove structure extending in a predetermined direction, and is formed on the surface of the main body or the third housing. The third slider is a protruding structure adapted to the contour of the third slide groove, which can be embedded in the slide groove and slide freely along its extension direction.

[0134] Specifically, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 61The side wall of the main body 8207 is provided with a first strip block 840631 and two second strip blocks 840632. The two second strip blocks are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart along the height direction of the main body, and the first strip block is sealed between the lower ends of the two second strip blocks. Each second strip block is provided with a third groove 84063, the upper end of the third groove is open, and the lower end is sealed by the first strip block.

[0135] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 63 The side wall of the third housing 8401 is provided with two third strip blocks 840641. The two third strip blocks are parallel and spaced apart along the height direction of the third housing, and a connecting rib plate 840642 is provided between the two strip blocks. There are two third sliders 84064, with one third slider corresponding to one third strip block.

[0136] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 64 and Figure 65 The third connection structure 8406 also includes a connecting plate 84065, with a second cable channel 84068 formed between the connecting plate and the two third strip blocks. Cables leading out from inside the third housing 8401 can extend from bottom to top through this second cable channel to a socket on the side wall of the base 8105 for connection. The second cable channel effectively guides and constrains the cable routing path, preventing cables from hanging loosely or becoming tangled, protecting the cables from external damage, and improving the overall neatness and safety of the machine.

[0137] Please see Figure 61 and Figure 62 In one embodiment of the present invention, the sliding direction of the third slider 84064 along the third groove 84063 is the same as the height direction of the main body 8207. That is, the third slider slides up and down relative to the main body in the vertical direction. In this structure, the third groove is a guide groove extending in the vertical direction and is formed on the main body or the third housing. The third slider is a correspondingly provided protrusion structure that can slide into or out of the third groove in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the third slider slides in the vertical direction. During installation, it is only necessary to put the third housing in from above, and it will fall to the locking position by its own weight. No additional force is required, making the operation labor-saving.

[0138] Please see Figure 36 and Figure 37In one embodiment of the present invention, the water quality detection component 8400 includes at least a detection module 8405, which is integrated inside the body portion 8207 and located above the battery pack. Specifically, the detection module is housed in a first receiving cavity, a second receiving cavity is located below the detection module, the detection module seals the opening of the second receiving cavity, and the battery pack is disposed within the second receiving cavity. The detection module is no longer detachably mounted outside the body portion via a separate housing, but is directly integrated into the internal space of the body portion.

[0139] This layout fully utilizes the vertical space of the first receiving cavity, resulting in a compact structure that facilitates miniaturization of the base station design. Simultaneously, the detection module is located away from the bottom of the first receiving cavity where water may accumulate, reducing the risk of water damage and improving waterproofing. Furthermore, the detection module's elevated position allows users to perform maintenance or replacement from above the first receiving cavity.

[0140] Please see Figures 10 to 13 In one embodiment of the present invention, the shore-based component 8100 includes a base 8105, which is fixed to the shore. The main body is detachably connected to the base. For the specific structures of the base and the main body, please refer to the relevant descriptions in the foregoing embodiments; they will not be repeated here.

[0141] Specifically, the method by which the main body is detachably connected to the base is not limited. For example, it can be any one or a combination of plug-in connection, snap-fit ​​connection, slide rail and groove connection, quick-release lock connection, etc. In practical applications, the method can be flexibly selected according to usage requirements, disassembly and assembly frequency, and environmental conditions, as long as it ensures that the main body can be reliably fixed to the base and is easy to disassemble. In this embodiment, the main body is detachably connected to the base, and the user can flexibly disassemble and assemble it as needed, facilitating transportation, storage, maintenance, and replacement.

[0142] Please see Figures 66 to 69 In one embodiment of the present invention, the detection module 8405 includes: a detection box 8407, a water storage section 8404, a detection strip 8408, a detection component 8409, a peeling member 8410, and a first driving component 8411. The water storage section is used to store liquid in a swimming pool. The detection strip is disposed inside the detection box and includes a test strip and a protective film covering the test strip. The protective film is used to protect the test strip from contamination or moisture when not in use.

[0143] The first drive assembly drives the test strip along a predetermined path within the test chamber, causing the test strip to sequentially pass through the water reservoir and the test area. The peeling element 8410 peels the protective film from the test strip before it reaches the test area, allowing the test strip to come into contact with the liquid. The detection assembly detects the color change after the test strip reacts with the liquid to determine water quality data.

[0144] The test strip consists of a test strip and a protective film. The protective film is waterproof. Before testing, the protective film is attached to the first surface of the test strip. This first surface has at least one detection area 84083, and each detection area contains at least one color block. For example, the color blocks can be for pH, residual chlorine, cyanuric acid, calcium hardness, total alkalinity, turbidity, total solids, or salinity. The protective film is integrated with the test strip, protecting the detection areas and preventing external moisture from entering and affecting the test results.

[0145] When water quality testing is required, the protective film and test strip are peeled off using the peeling component 8410, exposing the detection color patch on the test strip to come into contact with the liquid. When the liquid comes into contact with the detection color patch on the test strip, the color patch changes color. The detection component collects the color change data, and the control system processes and compares the data from the detection component to obtain water quality testing information. This information is then output to the base station screen or the user terminal's APP interface, allowing the user to visually view the water quality testing results. This facilitates user control or control system intervention to determine whether to add reagents to the water tank for treatment.

[0146] Specifically, please refer to Figure 79 The detection box 8407 has a third cavity 84073 and a fourth cavity 84074. The detection strip 8408 is rolled up in the third cavity and is driven to move by the first driving assembly 8411. A peeling element 8410 is provided along the path of the detection strip to peel it apart before it reaches the detection area where the detection assembly is located. The detection color patch on the test strip comes into contact with the liquid in the detection area, and the detection assembly 8409 detects the detection color patch on the test strip within the detection area. After testing, the test strip and protective film, driven by the first driving assembly, may or may not merge and are collected in the fourth cavity.

[0147] In other embodiments, the detection box 8407 may also include a fifth cavity 84075, in which the protective film is collected by the drive of the first drive assembly, and the tested test strip is collected in a fourth cavity. That is, the protective film and the tested test strip are collected in different recycling areas.

[0148] Please see Figures 78 to 81 In one embodiment, the detection box 8407 contains a detection seat 84076. The water storage section 8404 contains a first mounting seat 84041. The detection component 8409 may be disposed at the bottom of the detection box or at the side of the detection box.

[0149] Optionally, the detection component 8409 may be disposed at the bottom of the detection box. Specifically, the detection component 8409 includes a first light emitter 84046 and a first light receiver 84045. The first light emitter has a first light emitting portion formed on the first mounting base, and the first light receiver has a first light receiving portion formed on the first mounting base. A first hollow area 84072 is provided on the side of the detection base facing the first mounting base. Liquid in the water storage portion 8404 can enter the first hollow area. The first light emitter, the first hollow area, and the first light receiver form a first detection area. For example, when the test strip enters the first detection area, the first light emitter emits light that illuminates the same or different detection color patches in a detection area 84083 of the test strip. The detection area 84083 of the test strip stays in the first detection area for a preset time. The first light receiver receives the reflected light of the color of the same or different detection color patches in a detection area. The control system analyzes the light received by the first light receiver 84045 to obtain the color of the same or each detection color patch, and then compares it with the standard color card to obtain the detection result of the same or each detection color patch.

[0150] Optionally, please refer to Figure 80 , Figure 84 and Figure 85 In one embodiment, a marker color block 84084 is provided at the beginning of each detection area 84083 on the test strip, or a marker color block is provided at the end of each detection area. The detection assembly also includes a second light emitter 84048 and a second light receiver 84047. The second light emitter has a second light emitting portion formed on the first mounting base, and the second light receiver has a second light receiving portion formed on the first mounting base. A second hollow area 84077 is provided on the side of the detection base facing the first mounting base. The second light emitter, the second hollow area, and the second light receiver together form a second detection area. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 79 At the position corresponding to the second hollow area, the detection seat is provided with a reflective film 84078 on the side of the test strip away from the detection component.

[0151] When each detection zone passes through the second perforated area, if the corresponding marker block has not yet reached the second perforated area, the light emitted by the second light emitter will pass through the second perforated area and the test paper, directly illuminating the reflective film. After being reflected by the reflective film, it reaches the second light receiver, indicating that the detection zone on the test paper is not yet in place. When the marker block corresponding to the detection zone reaches the second perforated area, the light emitted by the second light emitter will illuminate the marker block and be directly reflected by the marker block to the second light receiver. At this time, the light will not reach the reflective film, indicating that the detection zone is in place and water quality testing can begin.

[0152] In order to improve the emission effect of the light emitting element on the test strip detection area and reduce interference from light refraction and scattering, one embodiment is to set a convex lens in the light emission direction of the first light emitting element, so that the emitted light is focused by the convex lens and then directed onto the test strip detection area.

[0153] In one embodiment, a sealed cavity is also provided inside the water storage section, and the drive component of the first drive assembly and the control system connected to the detection assembly are both located inside the second sealed box.

[0154] In another embodiment, the detection component can be a camera. By capturing the color of the detection color block in the detection area, the control system compares the color captured by the camera with a standard color card to obtain the detection result of the water quality detection component.

[0155] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the water quality testing assembly is replaceable. Optionally, the test cartridge is replaceable, allowing a new cartridge to be replaced when the test strips therein are depleted.

[0156] Please see Figure 69 In one embodiment of the present invention, the first receiving cavity 8203 is provided with a water intake port 8402, and the detection module 8405 further includes a suction assembly 84030. The suction assembly connects the water intake port and the water storage section, and is used to draw liquid from the pool into the water storage section. Specifically, the water intake port is opened on the wall of the first receiving cavity, and its position can be set in the part of the first receiving cavity below the water surface to ensure that the water intake port remains in communication with the liquid in the pool underwater.

[0157] In one embodiment, the suction assembly includes a water pump 8403. The water pump's inlet is connected to the suction port via a connecting pipe, and the water pump's outlet is connected to the inlet of the water storage unit via another connecting pipe. The water pump can be powered by a battery pack.

[0158] During the testing process, the suction unit is activated, drawing liquid from the pool into the storage compartment through the suction port for temporary storage, to be used for subsequent water quality testing.

[0159] It should be noted that the liquid in the water storage compartment can be drained promptly after the water quality test is completed. New liquid is then drawn in for the next test.

[0160] Please see Figures 66 to 68 In one embodiment of the present invention, the suction assembly 84030 is sealed within the second receiving cavity 8204. Specifically, the second receiving cavity is a closed cavity, and the water pump is housed inside the second receiving cavity.

[0161] Please see Figures 70 to 74In one embodiment, the water storage section 8404 is provided with a second water inlet 84044, which is located outside the second receiving cavity. The water pump is provided with a first water inlet 84031 and a first water outlet 84032, and the wall of the second receiving cavity is provided with a third water inlet 82042 and a third water outlet 82043. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 75 to 77 The water inlet 8402 is connected to the third water inlet through the first pipe 84034, the third water outlet is connected to the first water inlet through the second pipe 84035, the first water outlet is connected to the third water outlet through the third pipe 84036, and the third water outlet is connected to the second water inlet through the fourth pipe 84037.

[0162] When the water pump is working, the liquid first enters through the suction port and is transported to the third inlet via the first pipeline. Then, it enters the first inlet through the second pipeline, is pressurized by the pump, and flows out from the first outlet. Next, the liquid is transported to the third outlet via the third pipeline and exits the second receiving cavity through the third outlet. Finally, the liquid is transported to the second inlet through the fourth pipeline and enters the water storage section for temporary storage, to be used for subsequent water quality testing.

[0163] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 73 and Figure 74 Alternatively, the water pump can be partially housed within the second receiving cavity, and partially extended into the sealed cavity between the water storage section and the second receiving cavity. This configuration also achieves waterproofing for the water pump.

[0164] Please see Figures 75 to 77 In one embodiment of the present invention, the water quality detection component 8400 is provided with a third housing 8401, and the detection module 8405 is installed in the third housing. In this embodiment, the specific structure of the detection module can be referred to the relevant description in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0165] The bottom wall of the third housing is provided with a water intake 8402, which can be located directly below the water surface to communicate with it. Alternatively, the water intake can be connected to the pool surface via an external pipe. A suction assembly is disposed within the third housing. In one embodiment, the suction assembly can be disposed at an upper position on the third housing, above the water surface.

[0166] In another embodiment, please refer to Figures 75 to 77The suction assembly also includes a waterproof cover 84033, within which the water pump is sealed and installed. The suction assembly can be completely above the water surface or partially below it. The waterproof cover ensures the water pump is waterproof within the third housing. The wall of the waterproof cover has a third inlet and a third outlet. The suction port is connected to the third inlet via a first pipe, the third outlet is connected to the first inlet via a second pipe, the first outlet is connected to the third outlet via a third pipe, and the third outlet is connected to the second inlet via a fourth pipe.

[0167] Please see Figure 69 In one embodiment of the present invention, a filter assembly 8214 is provided at the water intake 8402, and the water intake is connected to the water inlet of the suction assembly through the filter assembly.

[0168] Specifically, the filter assembly includes a filter housing and a filter element housed within the filter housing. An opening is provided on the outer wall of the filter housing, forming a water intake. The other end of the filter assembly extends into the interior of the first receiving cavity, forming a fourth water inlet, which is connected to the third water inlet via a first pipe. The filter element can be any one or more combinations of filter screens, filter cotton, filter cartridges, or microporous membranes to effectively intercept impurities of different particle sizes and meet filtration requirements under different water quality conditions.

[0169] In this embodiment, a filter assembly is provided at the water intake. The pool liquid is filtered before entering the suction assembly, effectively intercepting large particles and suspended solids, preventing pipe blockage, and extending the service life of the suction assembly. Please see Figure 76 In one embodiment of the present invention, when the water intake 8402 is disposed on the third housing 8401, a filter assembly may also be provided at the water intake, and the water intake is connected to the inlet of the suction assembly through the filter assembly. Of course, in some other embodiments, it is also possible to choose not to provide a filter assembly at the water intake, which can be flexibly selected according to the actual water quality in the pool.

[0170] Please see Figure 69 and Figure 72 In one embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of the filter assembly 8214 is disposed below the bottom wall of the body portion 8207, and a recess 82072 is provided below the bottom wall of the body portion, within which at least a portion of the filter assembly is accommodated. That is, below the bottom wall of the body portion 8207, the lowest point of the bottom of the filter assembly is higher than the lowest point of the recess. Thus, when the body portion is placed on the ground, the bottom of the side wall of the recess is supported by the ground, while the lower end of the filter assembly is suspended and does not contact the ground.

[0171] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 66The bottom wall of the main body is not recessed, the bottom wall of the column is flat, and the filter assembly is at least partially set below the bottom wall of the main body.

[0172] Please see Figure 66 In one embodiment of the present invention, the water storage part 8404 is fixedly disposed in the first receiving cavity 8203, and the detection box 8407 is disposed above the water storage part and can be detachably installed in the first receiving cavity. Specifically, the first receiving cavity 8203 is open at the top, and the water storage section is sealed and closed at the upper opening of the first receiving cavity, and can be fixed to the wall of the first receiving cavity by screws, buckles, or other means. The detection box is located directly above the water storage section, arranged vertically opposite to the water storage section, with operating space between them for the movement of the detection strip and the immersion of the test paper in the liquid. The detection box is installed in the first receiving cavity by a detachable connection structure (such as buckles, slide rails, or screws). In this embodiment, the detection box is located above the water storage section and can be detached and installed. Users can remove the entire detection box for maintenance or replacement, making the operation convenient.

[0173] Please see Figure 66 and Figure 67 In one embodiment of the present invention, a first connector 8412 is provided in the first receiving cavity 8203. The first connector is fixedly installed in the water storage part 8404. The first connector has a first receiving groove 84121. The detection box 8407 is detachably installed in the first receiving groove.

[0174] Specifically, the first connector is fixedly connected to the top or side wall of the water storage section (e.g., by screws, clips, or integral molding). The first receiving groove is an upward-opening recessed structure, and its inner wall contour is adapted to the shape of the detection box. The detection box is embedded into the first receiving groove from top to bottom, and horizontal positioning is achieved by the limiting effect of the groove wall. When removing it, the user can lift the detection box upward to remove it from the first receiving groove.

[0175] Please see Figure 66 and Figure 67 In one embodiment of the present invention, one of the first connector 8412 and the detection box 8407 is provided with a first latching groove 84071, and the other is provided with a first latching hook 84122. When the detection box is slidably inserted into the first receiving groove, the first latching hook engages in the first latching groove. When the first latching hook separates from the first latching groove, the detection box can be removed from the first receiving groove.

[0176] Please see Figure 69 , Figure 81 , Figure 82 and Figure 83In one embodiment of the present invention, a first mounting base 84041 is provided inside the water storage section 8404, and the first mounting base divides the water storage section into a first cavity 84042 and a second cavity 84043. The first cavity is used to temporarily store liquid in the swimming pool.

[0177] The first light emitter 84046, the first light receiver 84045, the second light emitter 84048, and the second light receiver 84047 in the detection assembly 8409 are all disposed on the first mounting base and located within the second cavity. A detection seat 84076 is provided at one end of the detection box facing the first mounting base, and this detection seat has a first hollow area 84072. The detection seat may or may not extend into the first cavity, and the liquid level within the first cavity (e.g., ...) Figure 78 (As shown by the dotted line) The test strip is not lower than the position of the first hollow area. When the test strip passes through the first hollow area, it comes into contact with the liquid. The light emitted by the first light emitter shines on the test strip through the first hollow area, and the first light receiver receives the light reflected by the test strip to achieve water quality detection.

[0178] See Figure 69 and Figure 86 In one embodiment of the present invention, the first driving component 8411 includes a first driving member 84111, a first transmission mechanism 84112, a first transmission component 84113, and a second transmission component 84114. The first driving member drives the first transmission component and the second transmission component respectively through the first transmission mechanism. The first transmission component is used to drive the protective film to move, and the second transmission component is used to drive the test paper to move. Specifically, the first driving component is a drive motor, and it has an output shaft 841111, which is connected to a first transmission mechanism. The first transmission mechanism is a power distribution element and can be configured as a gear set, worm gear, or synchronous belt pulley set, etc. The first transmission mechanism has one power input end and two power output ends, wherein the first output end is connected to a first transmission assembly, the second output end is connected to a second transmission assembly, and the power input end is connected to the output shaft. The first driving component transmits power simultaneously or separately to the first transmission assembly and the second transmission assembly through the first transmission mechanism.

[0179] The first transmission assembly cooperates with the peeled protective film to wind or transfer the peeled protective film under the drive of the first driving member, causing the protective film to move continuously and allowing the unpeeled protective film to continuously enter the working area of ​​the peeling member. The second transmission assembly cooperates with the test strip to drive the test strip along a predetermined path inside the detection box under the drive of the first driving member, so that each detection area passes through the first hollow area for detection in sequence.

[0180] Optionally, the first and second transmission components can be connected to the test paper and protective film via a friction wheel, ratchet, or gear meshing.

[0181] In this embodiment, a single first driving component simultaneously drives the protective film and the test strip to move through the first transmission mechanism. This eliminates the need for separate driving sources for the protective film and the test strip, reducing the number of drive motors, lowering component costs and overall weight, and simplifying the control logic.

[0182] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first transmission mechanism 84112 includes at least one worm 84116 and at least one worm wheel 84115. The worm is fixed to the output shaft 841111 and meshes with the two worm wheels. The worm wheels drive the first transmission assembly and the second transmission assembly to operate. Please see Figure 87 In one embodiment of the present invention, two worm gears 84116 are provided, and the two worm gears are arranged coaxially. Specifically, the first transmission mechanism includes a rod body portion, which is connected to the output shaft, and the two worm gears are coaxially fixed to the rod body portion. The two worm gears can be fixed by integrally forming with the rod body portion, or by key connection or other means. The two worm gears mesh with two worm wheels in a one-to-one correspondence. One worm wheel is rotatably disposed in the detection box and connected to the input end of the first transmission component, and the other worm wheel is connected to the input end of the second transmission component. When the two worm gears rotate, they drive the two worm wheels to rotate, thereby driving the first transmission component and the second transmission component to operate respectively.

[0183] In one embodiment of the present invention, unlike the previous embodiment, the first transmission mechanism 84112 includes a worm. The worm has a large axial width, enabling it to mesh simultaneously with two worm wheels arranged side by side along the axial direction of the worm 84116.

[0184] Please see Figures 86 to 88 In one embodiment of the present invention, the first transmission assembly 84113 includes a first gear 84117 and a second gear 84118 meshing with each other. One worm gear drives the first gear to rotate, and the protective film passes through the meshing area of ​​the first and second gears, and is driven to the first recycling area by the meshing action of the first and second gears. The second transmission assembly includes a third gear and a fourth gear meshing with each other. Another worm gear drives the third gear to rotate, and the tested test strip passes through the meshing area of ​​the third and fourth gears, and is driven to the second recycling area by the meshing action of the third and fourth gears. The first recycling area and the second recycling area can be the same area, or they can be two independent and different areas.

[0185] Specifically, both the first and second gears are rotatably mounted inside the detection box. Both are external meshing gears, arranged side-by-side and meshing with each other. The first gear is connected to a worm gear and is driven to rotate by the worm gear. The second gear rotates along with the first gear. The meshing area between the first and second gears (i.e., the area where the teeth of the two gears mesh) forms a conveying channel through which the protective film passes. When the worm gear drives the first gear to rotate, the teeth of the first and second gears mesh relative to each other in the meshing area. The clamping force and friction between the teeth push the protective film forward, allowing the peeled protective film to be conveyed along a predetermined path to the first recycling area.

[0186] Similarly, the third and fourth gears are rotatably mounted inside the detection box, and they are also meshing external gears. The third gear is connected to a worm gear and is driven to rotate by the worm gear. The fourth gear rotates along with the third gear. After testing, the test strip passes through the meshing area of ​​the third and fourth gears and is conveyed to the second collection area by the clamping and pushing action of the gear teeth.

[0187] It should be noted that the first, second, third, and fourth gears can adopt a single-layer gear structure or a double-layer gear structure.

[0188] In this embodiment, the protective film and the tested test strip are automatically conveyed by clamping and pushing two sets of meshing gear pairs, without the need for winding or traction mechanisms. The transmission structure is simple and occupies little space.

[0189] Please see Figure 88 In one embodiment of the present invention, the first recycling area and the second recycling area are the same area. Specifically, the detection box 8407 is provided with a third cavity 84073 and a fourth cavity 84074, such as... Figure 88 As shown, the third and fourth cavities are arranged independently and at intervals. Figure 91 As shown, the third chamber 84073 and the fourth chamber 84074 are interconnected. The test strip is rolled up in the third chamber, and the protective film and the tested strip move along different paths and are both transported into the fourth chamber. The fourth chamber constitutes the first and second recovery areas.

[0190] Please see Figure 89 In another embodiment, the first and second recovery areas are different areas. Specifically, the detection box also includes a fifth chamber 84075, and the third, fourth, and fifth chambers are independently arranged at intervals. The first driving component drives the protective film to move into the fifth chamber, and the second driving component drives the tested test strip to move into the fourth chamber. That is, the fifth chamber constitutes the first recovery area, and the fourth chamber constitutes the second recovery area. Of course, in other embodiments, the third, fourth, and fifth chambers can also be interconnected.

[0191] Optionally, the third, fourth, and fifth cavities can be arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, or in a triangular or triangular layout, depending on the internal space and path design of the detection box.

[0192] In this embodiment, the test box has three independent cavities spaced apart from each other. Unused test strips, peeled protective films, and tested test strips are stored in different cavities, achieving complete isolation between unused consumables and the two types of waste. This avoids cross-contamination of unused test strips by residual liquids or contaminants on the waste, ensuring test accuracy.

[0193] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first driving assembly 8411 further includes a plurality of guide members 84131, wherein some of the guide members are disposed on the output side of the meshing area of ​​the first gear 84117 and the second gear 84118, for guiding the protective film output from the meshing area to the first recycling area. Other guide members are disposed on the output side of the meshing area of ​​the third gear 84119 and the fourth gear 84120, for guiding the test strip output from the meshing area to the second recycling area.

[0194] In this embodiment, by setting multiple guides, the protective film and test paper can be guided separately, ensuring that both enter their respective recycling areas accurately and smoothly. This avoids material accumulation, jamming, or accidental entry into other areas due to uncertain output direction or path deviation, thereby improving the reliability and smoothness of the conveying process.

[0195] Please see Figure 89 and Figure 90 In one embodiment of the present invention, the first transmission mechanism 84112 further includes an output gear 8415, which is coaxially and fixedly connected to the worm gear 84115. The first driving member drives the worm to rotate, the worm drives the worm wheel to rotate, and thus drives the output gear to rotate. The output gear drives the first transmission assembly and the second transmission assembly to operate respectively.

[0196] Specifically, the worm gear and worm mesh with each other, and the worm gear is rotatably mounted on the wall of the detection box via the fifth transmission shaft 84145. The output gear is coaxially fixed on the fifth transmission shaft. The rotation of the worm gear drives the output gear to rotate synchronously. The teeth of the output gear engage with the power input ends of the first and second transmission components. When the first drive unit is activated, the output shaft drives the worm to rotate, the worm drives the worm gear to rotate at a reduced speed, the worm gear drives the output gear to rotate via the fifth transmission shaft, and the output gear then transmits power to the first and second transmission components respectively, thereby driving the conveying of the protective film and test strip.

[0197] Optionally, the output gear may be a wide-tooth gear that meshes with the input gears of both the first and second transmission components. Alternatively, it may be two gears spaced axially along the fifth transmission shaft, meshing with the first and second transmission components respectively.

[0198] Please see Figures 89 to 92 In one embodiment of the present invention, the first transmission assembly 84113 includes a first gear 84117 and a second gear 84118 meshing with each other, the second gear meshing with an output gear 8415. The protective film passes through the meshing area of ​​the first and second gears and is driven to a first recycling area. The second transmission assembly includes a third gear 84119, the third gear meshing with the output gear. The tested test strip passes through the meshing area of ​​the third gear and the output gear and is driven to a second recycling area. The first recycling area and the second recycling area can be the same area, or two independent but different areas.

[0199] Please see Figure 89 and Figure 90 In one embodiment of the present invention, the third gear 84119 is spaced apart from the first gear 84117 and the second gear 84118, and they do not mesh with each other. The protective film sequentially passes through the first meshing area between the first gear and the output gear, and the second meshing area between the first gear and the second gear, and is moved to the first recycling area under the sequential clamping drive of the first and second meshing areas. The tested test strip passes through the third meshing area between the third gear 84119 and the output gear, and is moved to the second recycling area under the clamping drive of the third meshing area.

[0200] Please see Figure 89 In one embodiment of the present invention, the first driving assembly further includes a plurality of guide members 84131, wherein some of the guide members are disposed on the output side of the meshing area of ​​the first gear 84117 and the second gear 84118, for guiding the protective film output from the meshing area to the first recycling area. Other guide members are disposed on the output side of the meshing area of ​​the third gear 84119 and the output gear 8415, for guiding the test strip output from the meshing area to the second recycling area.

[0201] Please see Figure 91 and Figure 92In one embodiment of the present invention, the second gear 84118 is disposed between the first gear 84117 and the third gear 84119, and meshes with the first gear and the third gear respectively. The protective film sequentially passes through the second meshing area 84152 between the first gear and the second gear, and the fourth meshing area 84154 between the second gear and the third gear, and is moved to the first recycling area under the sequential clamping drive of the second meshing area and the fourth meshing area. The tested test strip sequentially passes through the third meshing area 84153 between the third gear and the output gear, and the fourth meshing area between the second gear and the third gear, and is moved to the second recycling area under the sequential clamping drive of the third meshing area and the fourth meshing area.

[0202] Please see Figure 91 and Figure 92 In one embodiment of the present invention, the first driving assembly 8411 further includes a plurality of guide members, wherein some guide members are disposed on the output side of the meshing area of ​​the first gear 84117 and the second gear 84118, for guiding the protective film output from the meshing area of ​​the first gear and the second gear to the meshing area of ​​the second gear and the third gear. Other guide members are disposed on the output side of the meshing area of ​​the second gear and the third gear, for guiding the protective film to the fourth cavity, and also for guiding the tested test strip output from the meshing area of ​​the third gear and the output gear to the guide fourth cavity.

[0203] Please see Figures 67 to 69 In one embodiment of the present invention, the first driving member 84111 is disposed on the water storage part 8404, and the first transmission mechanism 84112 is detachably connected to the output shaft 841111 of the first driving member through the plug-in structure 8419.

[0204] The insertion direction of the plug-in structure is consistent with the installation direction of the detection box 8407 (e.g., both are vertical or horizontal), so that when the detection box is pushed into the installation position, the two plug-in parts automatically complete the mating connection. When the detection box is removed, the two plug-in parts automatically disengage.

[0205] It should be noted that the plug-in structure here refers to a coupling device that enables quick connection or separation between the first drive component and the first transmission mechanism by axial plugging and unplugging along the output shaft. The function of the plug-in structure is to allow for assembly and disassembly without the aid of tools, which facilitates equipment maintenance and component replacement.

[0206] Conventional plug-in structures include, but are not limited to, the following: keyway plug-in (the output shaft end is provided with a flat shaft or spline, and the input end of the first transmission mechanism is provided with a corresponding keyway hole, transmitting torque through circumferential limiting). Pin hole plug-in (positioning and transmission are achieved through the cooperation of a cylindrical pin or tapered pin with a pin hole). Threaded plug-in (the output shaft end is provided with an external thread, and the input end of the first transmission mechanism is provided with an internal thread, achieving connection by rotating and screwing). Snap-fit ​​plug-in (axial locking is achieved through the engagement of elastic claws and slots, which can be released by pressing). Magnetic plug-in (attraction and torque transmission are achieved through the magnetic attraction between magnet assemblies located at both ends).

[0207] In this embodiment, the first driving component is located in the water storage section, and the first transmission mechanism is located inside the detection box. A plug-in structure enables a detachable connection between the two, achieving physical separation and rapid coupling between the power source and the transmission system. During maintenance, the first driving component can be removed independently without disassembling the internal components of the detection box; simply disconnecting the plug-in connection reduces downtime and maintenance difficulty.

[0208] Please see Figure 69 , Figure 82 and Figure 83 In one embodiment of the present invention, the water storage part 8404 includes a first cavity 84042 and a second cavity 84043 that are spaced apart from each other. The first cavity is used to store liquid in the pool, the second cavity is a sealed cavity, and the first driving member is disposed in the second cavity.

[0209] Specifically, the first and second chambers can be arranged along the height of the water storage section, or along the length or width of the water storage section. The test strip passes through the first chamber during movement to ensure full contact with the liquid within it.

[0210] The first drive member 84111 is fixedly installed in the second cavity. Specifically, the first drive member is fixedly installed in the first mounting base, and the output shaft extends at least partially into the first cavity to connect with the second plug-in portion.

[0211] It should be noted that, to ensure the sealing reliability of the second cavity, a dynamic sealing structure is provided between the output shaft and the mounting base. Specifically, a rotary seal (such as a skeleton oil seal or an O-ring) can be installed between the outer peripheral wall of the output shaft and the inner wall of the shaft hole of the mounting base to achieve a dynamic sealing fit between the output shaft and the mounting base during rotation. This effectively prevents moisture or liquid from outside the second cavity from seeping into the cavity axially, ensuring that the first drive component is in a dry, sealed working environment for a long time.

[0212] In this embodiment, the water storage section is divided into a first chamber and a second chamber that are spaced apart from each other, thus physically separating the liquid storage from the driving function. The first chamber is dedicated to storing the liquid to be tested in the pool, ensuring smooth water sample flow and maintaining real-time detection. The second chamber is a fully sealed cavity that completely covers the first driving component, effectively isolating it from moisture, volatile chemicals, and splashed liquid.

[0213] Please see Figures 94 to 99 In one embodiment of the present invention, the plug-in structure 8419 includes a first plug-in member 84191 and a second plug-in member 84192. The first plug-in member is disposed on the output shaft, and the second plug-in member is disposed on the first transmission mechanism. The first plug-in member and the second plug-in member are detachably plugged in and engaged.

[0214] Specifically, the first driving component (such as a drive motor) is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the water storage unit or on one side inside the water storage unit, with its output shaft extending towards the detection box. A first connector is fixedly located at the end of the output shaft facing the detection box, and a second connector is correspondingly located at the power input end of the first transmission mechanism (such as the end of the rod). When the water storage unit and the detection box are installed in place, the first and second connectors are axially interlocked, thereby achieving power coupling and transmission between the output shaft and the first transmission mechanism.

[0215] The specific structures of the first and second connectors are not limited. For example, the first connector can adopt a columnar protrusion structure with a non-circular cross-section (such as a D-shaped shaft, splined shaft, hexagonal shaft, or flat shaft), and the second connector has a connector hole or slot (such as a D-shaped hole, splined sleeve, or flat hole) that matches the shape of the first connector. During assembly, the first connector is inserted axially into the connector hole of the second connector, and torque transmission is achieved through the circumferential limiting fit formed by the non-circular cross-section. Of course, the above-mentioned non-circular cross-section connector can be selected according to specific working conditions, such as splined shaft and splined sleeve fit, square shaft and square hole fit, or flat shaft and flat hole fit, etc., all of which are alternative implementations of the connector structure in this embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0216] In this embodiment, the detachable plug-in connection between the first connector and the second connector enables rapid axial connection and separation of the drive component and the transmission system. During maintenance, there is no need to disassemble the internal components of the test box; the drive component can be removed separately simply by axially pulling it out, which greatly shortens downtime and reduces maintenance difficulty.

[0217] Please see Figures 94 to 99In one embodiment of the present invention, the first connector 84191 includes at least one beveled protrusion 84193, and the second connector 84192 includes at least one beveled groove 84194. During the insertion process of the first connector and the second connector, the beveled protrusion and the beveled groove engage to connect the first connector and the second connector. In other embodiments, the first connector may include at least one beveled groove, and the second connector may include at least one beveled protrusion.

[0218] Specifically, the surface of the convex bevel is a continuous inclined surface that slopes both circumferentially and axially. The bottom surface of the groove is a continuous inclined surface that matches the slope of the convex bevel. During insertion and mating, the convex bevel enters the groove axially, achieving axial locking.

[0219] Please see Figure 100 In one embodiment of the present invention, a distance adjustment mechanism 8420 is provided between the sub-shore component 8200 and the on-shore component 8100. The sub-shore component is installed on the on-shore component through the distance adjustment mechanism. The distance adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the distance of the sub-shore component relative to the water surface so as to keep the height of the main body 8207 relative to the water surface constant.

[0220] The specific structure of the distance adjustment mechanism is not limited. For example, in one embodiment, the distance adjustment mechanism includes a floating element and a transmission assembly. The floating element is located outside the main body, floats on the water surface, and can move up and down with the rise and fall of the water level. The transmission assembly connects the floating element and the submerged component, and can convert the up-and-down floating motion of the floating element into the displacement of the submerged component along the height direction. When the water level rises, the transmission assembly can drive the submerged component to rise relative to the onshore component. When the water level falls, the transmission assembly can drive the submerged component to fall relative to the onshore component, thereby keeping the main body at a preset height.

[0221] In another embodiment, the distance adjustment mechanism 8420 may further include a liquid level sensor, a controller, and a drive assembly. The liquid level sensor is fixedly installed on the shore assembly 8100 to detect the relative distance between the water surface and the shore assembly in real time and transmit the detection signal to the controller. The controller controls the drive assembly to move according to the deviation between the preset height value and the detected value, driving the shore assembly to rise and fall until the main body returns to the preset height. The drive assembly may be an electric actuator, a lead screw and nut mechanism, or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0222] In this embodiment, the distance between the onshore component and the water surface is adjusted in real time by a distance adjustment mechanism, ensuring that the main body remains at a preset working height. This effectively avoids detection position shifts caused by factors such as water level fluctuations, wave fluctuations, or tidal changes, guaranteeing the consistency and repeatability of detection data and improving detection accuracy and reliability. Simultaneously, the distance adjustment mechanism allows the equipment to adapt to aquatic environments with varying water level ranges, enabling automatic adaptation without frequent manual intervention. This enhances the equipment's versatility and environmental adaptability, reducing the frequency of manual adjustments and maintenance costs.

[0223] Please see Figure 100 In one embodiment of the present invention, the distance adjustment mechanism 8420 includes a second connector 8421 and a sliding structure 8422, wherein the second connector is mounted on a base. The main body 8207 is slidably mounted on the second connector via the sliding structure and can slide relative to the second connector in the vertical direction as the water level changes, so that the height of the main body relative to the water level remains constant.

[0224] Specifically, the second connecting member is a bracket extending vertically, with its lower end fixedly connected to the base and its upper end extending upwards. The sliding structure may include a slider and a guide rail, one of which is fixedly mounted on the second connecting member and extends vertically, while the other is fixedly mounted on the main body. The slider and guide rail slide in cooperation, allowing the main body to slide freely vertically relative to the second connecting member. Alternatively, the sliding structure may include a guide post and a guide sleeve, one of which is fixedly mounted on the second connecting member and extends vertically, while the other is fixedly mounted on the main body. The guide post and guide sleeve slide in cooperation, allowing the main body to slide freely vertically relative to the second connecting member.

[0225] Please see Figure 100 In one embodiment of the present invention, the sliding structure 8422 includes at least one fourth guide rail 84221 and at least one fourth slide groove 84222. One of the fourth guide rail and the fourth slide groove is disposed on the second connector, and the other of the fourth guide rail and the fourth slide groove is disposed on the main body. The fourth guide rail and the fourth slide groove slide in a vertical direction to enable the main body to rise and fall relative to the second connector.

[0226] Specifically, two fourth guide rails are provided, one on each side of the second connector in the width direction, and parallel to each other. Correspondingly, two fourth sliding grooves are provided, one on each side of the main body in the width direction, with each fourth sliding groove corresponding to one fourth guide rail in a sliding fit.

[0227] Please see Figure 100 and Figure 101In one embodiment of the present invention, the distance adjustment mechanism 8420 includes a buoyancy member 84231. The buoyancy member is installed on the main body and is used to automatically adjust the buoyancy of the underwater components according to changes in water level, so as to keep the height of the main body relative to the water surface constant.

[0228] Specifically, the buoyancy component can be a sealed hollow float or buoyancy block, made of corrosion-resistant materials (such as engineering plastics or stainless steel). The buoyancy component can be fixedly installed on the outer wall or bottom of the main body, or it can be directly disposed inside the first receiving cavity.

[0229] The buoyancy component is at least partially submerged in water, and its submerged volume changes with the water level. When the water level rises, the submerged volume of the buoyancy component increases, the buoyancy increases, and the main body floats upward. When the water level falls, the submerged volume of the buoyancy component decreases, the buoyancy decreases, and the main body sinks accordingly, thus keeping the main body always floating on the water surface at a substantially constant height relative to the water surface.

[0230] In this embodiment, by setting up a buoyancy component, the underwater component can follow water level changes in real time by utilizing the automatic balance principle of buoyancy and gravity. It can complete adaptive height adjustment without external power source, sensors or control system, and has a simple, reliable and low-cost structure.

[0231] Please see Figure 101 In one embodiment of the present invention, the buoyancy member 84231 is disposed in the first receiving cavity 8203. After water enters the first receiving cavity from the fourth water inlet, the buoyancy of the buoyancy member drives the main body to slide in the vertical direction so as to keep the height of the main body relative to the water surface unchanged. When the water level rises, the submerged volume of the buoyancy component increases, increasing buoyancy and pushing the main body upwards. When the water level falls, the submerged volume of the buoyancy component decreases, decreasing buoyancy, and the main body slides downwards under gravity, thus maintaining the main body at the predetermined working height.

[0232] Please see Figures 100 to 105 In one embodiment of the present invention, the second connector 8421 is detachably installed on the base 8105. There are various methods for detachable installation between the second connector and the base, such as threaded connection, plug-in connection, and magnetic connection. In one embodiment, the lower end of the second connector has an external thread, and the base has a threaded hole. The second connector is tightened and fixed to the base by the engagement of the external thread and the threaded hole. In another embodiment, the lower end of the second connector has a plug-in portion, and the base has a plug-in hole that matches the shape of the plug-in portion. The plug-in portion is inserted into the plug-in hole to achieve axial positioning, and axial locking is achieved by a laterally inserted positioning pin or elastic buckle. In other embodiments, the lower end of the second connector is embedded with a first magnetic element, and a corresponding second magnetic element is embedded on the base. The first and second magnetic elements are magnetically attracted to achieve detachable fixation between the second connector and the base.

[0233] In this embodiment, by detachably installing the second connector on the base, the second connector and the connected onshore components can be flexibly replaced or maintained according to different working conditions without having to completely dismantle the base, thus reducing maintenance difficulty and replacement costs.

[0234] Please see Figures 102 to 105 The base 8105 and the second connector 8421 each have a first groove 82081 and a first protrusion 82082. The first protrusion engages with the first groove to achieve a detachable connection between the second connector and the base. The second connector has a handle 84232 at one end near the first groove. The handle allows the operator to pull to remove and / or install the second connector. For removal, the operator holds the handle and pulls upwards to disengage the first protrusion from the first groove, allowing the second connector to be removed along with the subsea components. For installation, the operator holds the handle and moves the second connector above the base, aligning the first protrusion with and inserting it into the first groove, thus installing the second connector onto the base.

[0235] Please see Figures 102 to 105 In one embodiment of the present invention, a first groove is disposed on the base, and a first protrusion is disposed on the second connector. A reinforcing member 8108 is also disposed below the first groove, and the reinforcing member is fixedly installed on the base. The reinforcing member has a slot 81081, and the second connector has a corresponding second protrusion 84212. When the first protrusion is engaged in the first groove, the second protrusion is inserted into the slot to enhance the connection strength between the second connector and the base. Specifically, the reinforcing member is fixed inside or below the base, directly below the first groove. A slot is provided on the reinforcing member, corresponding vertically to the first groove. The lower end of the second connector has a second protrusion below the first protrusion. When the first protrusion engages with the first groove, the second protrusion simultaneously inserts into the slot, forming a double-interlocking fit, thereby improving connection strength and pull-out resistance.

[0236] In this embodiment, the dual connection structure of the first protrusion engaging with the first groove and the second protrusion engaging with the slot can enhance the connection strength between the second connector and the base, effectively preventing loosening or detachment due to vibration or external force.

[0237] Please see Figure 105 In one embodiment of the present invention, a second cover plate 81054 is movably mounted on the base 8105. The second cover plate is located above the first groove and is used to open or close the first groove.

[0238] The method in which the second cover plate is movably mounted on the base is not limited. For example, the second cover plate may be rotatably, slidably, or detachably mounted on the base.

[0239] Please see Figure 105 In one embodiment, one side of the second cover plate is rotatably connected to the base via a hinge or pivot, and the second cover plate can be flipped relative to the base around the hinge or pivot to open or close the first groove.

[0240] In other embodiments, the second cover plate is disposed independently of the base, and when closed, it directly covers the first groove and is fixed to the base by snap-fit, magnetic attraction, or screws. When opened, the second cover plate is simply removed from the base.

[0241] In this embodiment, by providing a second cover plate above the first groove, the first groove can be covered without disassembling the second connector, effectively preventing rainwater, dust, debris or foreign objects from falling into the first groove, avoiding the impact of blockage or contamination of the first groove on the normal insertion and engagement of the first protrusion, and ensuring the cleanliness of the first groove and the reliability of the connection.

[0242] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the onshore component 8200 further includes a chemical dispensing component 8300, which is used to dispense chemicals into the pool. The chemicals can be reagents for desalination, clarification, disinfection, etc., of the water. One or more types of chemicals may be used. The chemical dispensing component is installed on the onshore component and / or the main body. By incorporating a chemical dispensing component, the base station can perform water quality maintenance while conducting routine operations, thus expanding the equipment's application scenarios. Various types of chemicals can be selected, including algaecides, clarifiers, and disinfectants, to flexibly address different water quality issues.

[0243] Please see Figures 106 to 109 In one embodiment of the present invention, the agent dispensing assembly 8300 includes a second housing 8303 and a dispensing module 8310. The dispensing module is disposed in the second housing, and the second housing is detachably installed on the main body through a fourth connecting structure.

[0244] The fourth connection structure can directly adopt any implementation of the third connection structure in the aforementioned embodiments, such as threaded connection, plug-in fit, flange connection, quick-release connection, or magnetic connection, etc., which will not be elaborated further in this embodiment. Of course, in other embodiments, the fourth connection structure can also adopt a connection method different from the third connection structure. The specific method can be flexibly selected and set according to the needs of the actual application scenario, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0245] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Both the chemical dispensing component 8300 and the water quality testing component 8400 are installed on the main body 8207, and they are respectively arranged on opposite sides along the width direction of the main body to ensure that the forces on both sides of the main body are balanced, while avoiding mutual interference between chemical dispensing and water quality testing.

[0246] In this embodiment, by setting the drug dispensing component 8300 as an independent modular structure and detachably installing it on the main body 8207 through the fourth connection structure 8307, it is convenient to flexibly install, disassemble and replace the dispensing module 8310 according to actual needs, thereby improving the expandability and maintenance convenience of the base station 8000.

[0247] Please see Figures 106 to 112 In one embodiment of the present invention, the dispensing module 8310 includes a storage component 8301 and a dispensing drive component 8302. The storage component has a storage cavity 83021 for storing the agent, and the storage cavity has an agent outlet 83011 for the agent to flow out. The second housing has a dispensing port 8306 communicating with the pool, and the agent outlet is connected to the dispensing port via the dispensing drive component. The dispensing drive component is used to draw the agent from the agent outlet and deliver it to the dispensing port.

[0248] Specifically, the spraying drive assembly includes a peristaltic pump, a fifth conduit 8320, and a sixth conduit 8330. The fifth conduit connects the inlet of the peristaltic pump to the pesticide outlet, and the sixth conduit connects the outlet of the peristaltic pump to the spraying port. Under the action of the peristaltic pump, the pesticide in the storage chamber flows out through the fifth conduit, the peristaltic pump, and the sixth conduit.

[0249] In this embodiment, controlled delivery is achieved between the storage chamber and the dispensing port through a dispensing drive component. The start and stop of dispensing and the dispensing amount can be controlled as needed, avoiding waste and over-dosing of the agent and improving the accuracy and economy of dispensing.

[0250] Optionally, in one embodiment, the storage component is disposed above the dispensing drive component within the second housing, i.e., the storage component is arranged near the opening of the second housing. The storage component is installed on the second housing in a retractable manner, allowing the user to easily replenish or replace the medication by pulling the storage component horizontally or vertically relative to the second housing, depending on the operating space and usage habits.

[0251] In one embodiment of the present invention, the dissemination drive assembly 8302 is waterproof and is installed inside the second housing 8303.

[0252] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 108 and Figure 109 The second housing 8303 also includes a waterproof cavity 83032, within which the dispersing drive assembly is installed. By creating a waterproof cavity within the second housing and installing the dispersing drive assembly therein, effective isolation from external water and humid environments is achieved, preventing water from directly contacting the electrical components and moving parts inside the drive assembly. This significantly improves the waterproof and moisture-proof performance of the dispersing drive assembly and reduces the risk of short circuits, corrosion, or jamming caused by water ingress.

[0253] Please see Figure 113 In one embodiment of the present invention, the third housing 8401 is further provided with a third opening 8340, which is used to expose the dispersing drive assembly so as to facilitate inspection, maintenance or replacement of the dispersing drive assembly. A third cover plate 8350 is correspondingly provided at the third opening, and the third cover plate is detachably connected to the third opening to open or close the third opening.

[0254] Please see Figures 107 to 109 In one embodiment of the present invention, the top wall of the storage cavity 83021 is provided with a first through hole 8304, which enables the internal pressure of the drug storage component to be balanced with the external atmospheric environment.

[0255] By creating a first through-hole in the top wall of the storage chamber, the interior of the chamber is connected to the external atmosphere. This effectively balances the negative pressure generated inside the storage chamber during the pesticide outflow process, preventing poor pesticide flow or dissemination interruptions caused by a drop in internal air pressure. This ensures the smoothness and continuity of the pesticide extraction by the dissemination drive component. Simultaneously, the balanced air pressure inside the storage chamber makes the pesticide outflow rate more uniform and stable, which is beneficial for improving the control accuracy and consistency of the dissemination rate.

[0256] Please see Figure 106 In one embodiment of the present invention, at least one second through hole 8305 may be provided in the lower part of the outer shell of the drug dispensing component 8300 to allow water to freely enter and exit the second shell 8303 of the drug dispensing component. When the lower part of the drug dispensing component is inserted into the water for installation, the second through hole allows water in the pool to enter the second shell of the drug dispensing component, so that the total weight of the drug dispensing component and the entering water can be balanced with the buoyancy of the drug dispensing component, and avoid the buoyancy of the drug dispensing component being too large compared with its weight, which would cause it to rise and detach from the underwater component.

[0257] In one embodiment of the present invention, the drug dispensing assembly includes a dispensing module 8310, which is integrated into the body portion 8207. Specifically, it may be disposed within a first receiving cavity or a second receiving cavity of the body portion.

[0258] By integrating the spreading module into the first or second accommodating cavity of the main body, the internal space of the main body is fully utilized, eliminating the need for an additional independent shell or support on the outside. This effectively reduces the overall size and dimensions of the machine, making the equipment structure more compact.

[0259] In some embodiments, the pool robot may be equipped with a first communication module to enable information interaction between the pool robot and smart terminals and base stations. Smart terminals include, but are not limited to, remote controls, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, smartwatches, smart speakers, etc. Applications related to the pool robot and / or base stations may be installed on the smart terminals.

[0260] For example, the first communication module may include a first communication component, which is a device that supports information interaction in the air. For example, the first communication component may be a communication device using signal types such as Bluetooth, infrared, or WIFI. And / or, the first communication module may include a second communication component, which is a device that supports information interaction in a liquid. For example, the second communication component may be a communication device using signal types such as underwater acoustic communication or underwater optical communication.

[0261] A second communication module may be installed on the base station. The second communication module may include a third communication component (or a surface communication module), which is a device that supports information exchange in the air. For example, the third communication component may be a communication device using signal types such as Bluetooth, infrared, or Wi-Fi. The third communication component may be located in the portion of the base station above the water surface. And / or, the second communication module may include a fourth communication component (or an underwater communication module 8206), which is a device that supports information exchange in liquids. For example, the fourth communication component may be a communication device using signal types such as underwater acoustic communication or underwater optical communication. The fourth communication component may be located in the portion of the base station below the water surface.

[0262] When the second communication component of the pool robot is below the water surface, it interacts with the fourth communication component of the base station in the liquid. For example, if the first communication component of the pool robot is also below the water surface, the pool robot cannot interact with the smart terminal or the base station using the first communication component. In this case, the pool robot can first interact with the base station using the second and fourth communication components, and then indirectly achieve information interaction between the pool robot and the smart terminal located in the air by using the fourth communication component of the base station to interact with the third communication component of the base station, and the third communication component to interact with the smart terminal.

[0263] In some embodiments, a first sensor may be provided on the pool robot, and a second sensor may be provided on the base station, to determine the relative position between the pool robot and the base station using the first and second sensors. For example, the first and second sensors may be underwater acoustic sensors. Alternatively, the first and second sensors may also be optical sensors.

[0264] For example, when both the first and second sensors are underwater acoustic sensors, the second sensor is located below the water surface at the base station, while the first sensor can be located on the side or top of the pool robot. For instance, the first sensor could be located on the front, rear, left, or right side wall of the pool robot. Alternatively, if the first sensor is located on the top of the pool robot, and the base station is above the robot while it moves on the pool floor, placing the first sensor on the top, compared to placing it on the side, avoids obstruction of communication between the first and second sensors by other components of the pool robot.

[0265] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the total number of first sensors and second sensors can be at least three. Specifically, at least one of the first sensors and the second sensor can be two. For example, there can be two first sensors and one second sensor, with the two first sensors symmetrically arranged on the pool robot, forming a triangle relationship. Alternatively, there can be one first sensor and two second sensors, with the two second sensors symmetrically arranged on the base station, forming a triangle relationship between the one first sensor and the two second sensors. Or, the total number of first sensors and second sensors can be four, five, six, etc. Of course, there can also be only one first sensor, and correspondingly, only one second sensor.

[0266] For example, there are two first sensors and one second sensor, symmetrically positioned on the pool robot, forming a triangle with the second sensor. The pool robot can use the detection information between the first and second sensors to extract a first distance between one of the first and second sensors, and a second distance between the other. The pool robot can move on the pool bottom or wall to reduce these first and second distances, thus getting closer to the base station. If, during the robot's movement, the first distance becomes greater than the second distance, or vice versa, it indicates that the robot's direction of movement has shifted to one side. The robot can then adjust its yaw angle to reduce the difference between the first and second distances.

[0267] For example, if the base station is located near the waterline, and the pool robot first moves to the bottom of the pool, it can then move towards the pool wall where the base station is located, using the first and second sensors, to reach the area on the bottom of the pool below the base station. Afterward, the pool robot can switch from the bottom to the pool wall and move along the wall towards the base station. During its movement along the pool wall, the pool robot can adjust its direction of movement and determine its distance from the base station using the first and second sensors.

[0268] The pool robot can move closer to the base station based on its relative position to stop near it. Alternatively, the pool robot can avoid the base station when approaching it, based on its relative position to prevent collisions during the cleaning process.

[0269] In some embodiments, the pool robot may be equipped with an image acquisition component, and a positioning marker 2900 may be installed on the base station. The positioning marker may be a QR code and / or a light-emitting element. For example, the positioning marker may be located on the left or right side of the base station. The pool robot can move along the pool wall or at a predetermined distance from the pool wall, using the image acquisition component to acquire images of the positioning marker during movement, and then determine the relative position of the pool robot and the base station based on the images of the positioning marker. Alternatively, the positioning marker may also be located on the support surface of the base station. The pool robot can acquire images of the positioning marker using the image acquisition component while moving on the water surface, and then determine the relative position of the pool robot and the base station based on the images of the positioning marker. Alternatively, the positioning marker may also be located at the bottom of the base station. While moving along the pool wall, the pool robot can use a camera to acquire images of the positioning marker on the base station to determine the relative position between the pool robot and the base station. Similarly, the pool robot can move towards the base station based on its relative position to stop near the base station. Alternatively, the pool robot can avoid the base station when approaching it based on its relative position to avoid collisions during the cleaning process.

[0270] The detachable and fixed connections mentioned in this application can be made by using at least one of the following methods: threaded connection, magnetic connection, snap-fit ​​connection, key pin connection, locking connection, plug connection, grooved connection, screw connection, etc.

[0271] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
