Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a cleaning robot, in particular to a swimming pool cleaning robot with a waterline cleaning function. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of automation technology, water surface cleaning robots are playing an increasingly important role in the cleaning and maintenance of public and private swimming pools, reservoirs and other places. Traditional water surface cleaning robots are mainly designed to clean floating objects on the water surface. Their basic working principle is to use built-in or external drive devices to push the robot to move on the water surface, and collect floating garbage into the robot's garbage collection box through the roller brush, suction and other mechanisms at the bottom or front of the robot. Although this type of robot is effective in removing floating garbage on the water surface, it still has certain limitations in the comprehensiveness and depth of pool cleaning.

[0003] Especially for the waterline stains on the edge of the pool and the wall, these stains are formed due to long-term contact and immersion between water and the wall, which not only affects the appearance of the pool, but also gradually hardens and forms stubborn stains that are difficult to remove if not cleaned in time. Currently, the water surface cleaning robots on the market do not provide an effective cleaning solution for waterline stains. Cleaning these stains usually requires manual work, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also particularly heavy for large or commercial pools.

[0004] In addition, because existing surface cleaning robots mainly float on the water to perform cleaning operations, when faced with tasks such as cleaning the waterline that requires cleaning close to the edge of the pool, the robot is easily affected by the water flow and deviates from the cleaning area due to the lack of sufficient reverse thrust, resulting in unsatisfactory cleaning results. The existence of this problem further exacerbates the difficulty of cleaning waterline stains.

[0005] In summary, although the existing water surface cleaning robot technology has made progress in some aspects, there is still much room for improvement in waterline stain cleaning, water quality testing, energy self-sufficiency, etc. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of pool cleaning robot that can comprehensively improve the efficiency and effect of pool cleaning and realize intelligent and automated cleaning and maintenance.

The cleaning robot is used to clean the water line contact position close to the inner wall of the pool to prevent the formation of water lines.

[0035] In order to achieve accurate positioning of the pool surface, a positioning device is also included, which is used to locate the position of the equipment host 1 when cleaning the water line, so that the water line cleaning device contacts the inner wall of the swimming pool to complete the water line cleaning, and the pool surface position can be accurately found;

[0036] The utility model supplies power to a control mainboard, a garbage collecting device, a water line cleaning device and a positioning device through the power supply, and controls the garbage collecting device, the water line cleaning device and the positioning device through the control mainboard.

[0037] Among them, Figure 2 As shown, the waterline cleaning device includes a waterline roller brush 4 and a waterline propeller 7. The waterline roller brush 4 is arranged on the side of the device host 1. The waterline roller brush 4 is used to contact the wall to clean the waterline. When the waterline cleaning action is performed, the waterline propeller 7 is opened to apply a tail thrust, so that the waterline roller brush 4 always fits the waterline position of the pool surface to achieve the purpose of waterline cleaning. In this embodiment, the waterline roller brush is made of soft rubber and has a circular shape. The brush is composed of flakes and dots, and is used to roll in a circle to scrub the wall;

[0038] Among them, the waterline propeller 7 is installed on the other side of the equipment host 1, and is used to apply a driving force during waterline cleaning, so that the waterline roller brush 4 is pressed against the wall, serving as the back driving force of the waterline roller brush 4. The waterline propeller 7 is controlled by the control main board.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the garbage collection device includes a main roller brush 9 and a garbage collection box 8. The garbage collection box 8 is installed at the bottom of the device host 1, one side of which is open to form a garbage inlet, and the main roller brush 9 is installed on one side of the garbage inlet. The main roller brush 9 is controlled to rotate by a driving system, and the garbage on the water surface is collected into the garbage collection box 8 by the main roller brush 9. The garbage collection box 8 has small water inlet and outlet holes, and the inside of the garbage collection box 8 is kept balanced by the small water inlet and outlet holes. When cleaning, the main roller brush 9 rolls to collect floating objects on the water surface into the garbage collection box 8, and the garbage passes through the garbage inlet and enters the garbage collection box 8 for collection, which is simple and convenient.

[0040] In order to enable the entire robot to have the ability to move forward, this embodiment also includes a thrust system, which includes a plurality of self-powered main motion thrusters 10, and the plurality of main motion thrusters 10 are installed at the tail end of the device host 1. The thrust system is controlled by a control mainboard and powered by a power supply, and the device host 1 is pushed forward by the thrust system.

[0041] Among them, the positioning device adopts an ultrasonic positioning device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the ultrasonic positioning device includes a side ultrasonic positioning module 5 and a front ultrasonic positioning module 6, and the side ultrasonic positioning module 5 and the front ultrasonic positioning module 6 transmit ultrasonic detection signals to the control main board and issue instructions.

[0042] Among them, an energy charging device 2 is installed on the top of the device host 1, and the power supply is charged by the energy charging. In this embodiment, the energy charging device 2 adopts a solar charging device. When the robot is in sunlight, the energy charging device 2 receives sunlight and continuously converts solar energy into electrical energy and stores it in the battery inside the machine, so that the user does not need to charge or charge less and the machine continues to work.

[0043] In order to better guide the device main body 1 when it contacts the pool surface, in this embodiment, a plurality of guide rollers 3 are provided on the side of the device main body 1 .

[0044] The working process of the whole equipment is as follows:

[0045] The working mode is: the robot floats on the water surface when working. In the cleaning mode, the whole device moves downward with the thrust system as the driving force. The robot cleans the garbage floating on the water surface according to the set working logic. When the robot moves forward and passes by floating garbage, the garbage is swept into the garbage collection device under the rotation of the main roller brush.

[0046] When the user selects the waterline mode, the robot will find the wall on the water surface and start the waterline cleaning mode under the action of the front ultrasonic and side ultrasonic devices. At the same time, the waterline roller brush and the waterline propeller start to rotate and enter the working mode. The waterline roller brush rotates in circles. Under the working thrust of the waterline propeller, the waterline roller brush continuously rubs and cleans the water line on the water surface and the wall. Through continuous friction and cleaning, one is to prevent scale from forming between the water surface and the wall to cause the formation of waterline; the other is to clean the waterline dirt that has already formed.

[0047] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that are not conceived through creative work should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope defined in the claims.
