DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and effect of the present application clearer and more specific, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0030] Reference to "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0031] The bearing assembly, pool robot control method, system, device and storage medium provided by the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a first structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a load-bearing assembly of the present application; Figure 2 This is a second structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a carrier assembly of the present application; Figure 3 1 is an exploded schematic diagram of an embodiment of a bearing assembly of the present application. The present application provides a bearing assembly 100, which includes a support member 120 and a bearing member 110. The support member 120 is arranged at the edge of a pool. The edge of the pool can be a pool wall or a bank of the pool. For example, the support member 120 can be arranged at the bank of the pool. The support member 120 can also be arranged on the pool wall of the pool. The support member 120 can be partially arranged at the edge of the pool, and the support member 120 can also be completely arranged at the edge of the pool. The bearing member 110 includes a first end 111 and a second end 112 that are arranged opposite to each other. A bearing surface 113 is formed between the first end 111 and the second end 112. The first end 111 is connected to the support member 120. Among them, the bearing member 110 has at least a first posture. When the bearing member 110 is in the first posture, a preset angle O is formed between the bearing surface 113 and the support member 120. The second end 112 extends below the lowest preset water level of the pool, so that the carrying surface 113 is used to carry the pool robot to move into or out of the pool.

[0033] Specifically, the lowest preset water level refers to the lowest water surface position theoretically required when using the bearing assembly. When a preset angle O is formed between the bearing surface 113 and the support member 120, the bearing surface 113 can be vertical or inclined relative to the water surface of the pool. When the pool robot is located at the edge of the pool, the pool robot can move from the first end 111 to the bearing surface 113. When the pool robot is located in the pool, the pool robot can move from the second end 112 to the bearing surface 113. When the pool robot is located on the bearing surface 113, the bearing surface 113 supports the movement of the pool robot.

[0034] Through the above arrangement, when the bearing surface 113 forms a preset angle O with respect to the support member 120, the bearing surface 113 can be tilted or vertically extended to below the lowest preset water level of the pool, thereby connecting the edge of the pool with the water surface of the pool. The pool robot can be directly carried by the bearing surface 113 and move into or out of the pool, that is, the pool robot can be carried out of and into the water through the bearing assembly 100, and no manual handling, placement or salvage is required, which is convenient to use.

[0035] The specific manner in which the bearing surface 113 carries the pool robot to move to enter or leave the pool can be that the pool robot actively moves along the bearing surface 113 relative to the support 120, or the pool robot is driven by the bearing surface 113 to move relative to the support 120. In one specific embodiment, the bearing surface 113 is fixed relative to the support 120, and the pool robot moves along the bearing surface 113 to enter or leave the pool. In another specific embodiment, the pool robot is stationary relative to the bearing surface 113, and the bearing surface 113 moves relative to the support 120 and drives the pool robot to enter or leave the pool. In another other specific embodiment, the pool robot moves along the bearing surface 113, and the bearing surface 113 moves relative to the support 120, and the pool robot enters or leaves the pool under the combined action of the movement of the pool robot and the movement of the bearing surface 113.

[0036] The connection between the first end 111 and the support member 120 may be a fixed connection or a movable connection, as long as the support member 110 can have the first posture, which is not limited here.

[0037] In one embodiment, the pool robot can actively move on the supporting member 110 in the first posture, or be driven by the supporting member 110 after moving to the supporting member 110 in the first posture, so as to enter or leave the pool.

[0038] In one embodiment, a weighted water tank may be provided on the support member 120. The weighted water tank may increase the weight of the support member 120, thereby enhancing the support stability of the support member 120 on the carrier 110. The weighted water tank may contain liquid. When the amount of liquid contained in the weighted water tank increases, the weight of the weighted water tank increases, and the support force of the support member 120 on the carrier 110 increases.

[0039] In one embodiment, the preset angle O is greater than or equal to 45 degrees and less than 180 degrees. Thus, the carrying surface 113 can be vertically or obliquely extended into the water of the pool, which is conducive to carrying the pool robot to move into or out of the pool, and the carrying assembly 100 is easy to use.

[0040] The angle of the preset angle O includes but is not limited to 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 55 degrees, 60 degrees, 70 degrees, 80 degrees, 90 degrees, 95 degrees, 100 degrees, 110 degrees, 120 degrees, 130 degrees, 135 degrees, 140 degrees, 145 degrees, 150 degrees, 160 degrees, 170 degrees, 179 degrees, etc., and is not limited here.

[0041] In one embodiment, the carrier 110 can rotate relative to the support 120. When the carrier 110 rotates relative to the support 120, the bearing surface 113 can carry and drive the pool robot to move relative to the support 120. The pool robot can enter or leave the pool under the drive of the carrier 110.

[0042] Through the above arrangement, the pool robot only needs to move to the bearing surface 113, and the bearing member 110 can rotate and drive the pool robot to enter or leave the pool. The bearing member 110 can assist the movement of the pool robot, and the pool robot no longer needs to generate a strong driving force to climb by itself, and entering and exiting the pool is more efficient and convenient.

[0043] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 2 is a schematic diagram of a second posture of an embodiment of a carrier assembly of the present application. Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the carrier 110 can rotate relative to the support member 120, specifically including: the carrier 110 can rotate to a second posture.

[0044] Optionally, when the carrier 110 rotates to the second posture, the angle formed between the carrier surface 113 and the support member 120 is different from the preset angle O. For example, the second end 112 can move above the water surface of the pool or the second end 112 is still below the water surface of the pool after movement, and the angle between the carrier surface 113 and the surface of the support member 120 is less than a preset threshold value, so that when the carrier 110 rotates to the second posture, the pool robot can be more stably connected to the carrier 110 or can overcome obstacles such as gravity on the carrier 110 and move in the target direction. The specific preset threshold value can be pre-set according to the specific settings of the carrier assembly 100 and experience, and is not limited here.

[0045] Preferably, when the bearing member 110 rotates to the second posture, the second end 112 moves above the water surface of the pool, and the bearing surface 113 is parallel to the surface of the support member 120. The bearing surface 113 can be parallel to the water surface of the pool, and the bearing surface 113 can be aligned and connected with the surface of the support member 120. Since the bearing surface 113 of the bearing member 110 is parallel to the surface of the support member 120 when the bearing member 110 is in the second posture, the pool robot only needs to perform a simple parallel movement when moving between the bearing surface 113 and the surface of the support member 120, and the efficiency of entering or leaving the pool is higher, and it is convenient to use.

[0046] Specifically, when the pool robot needs to leave the pool, the support member 110 can rotate from the first posture to the second posture, changing the angle formed between the support surface 113 and the support member 120. The pool robot located on the support surface 113 can better move along the support surface 113 to the surface of the support member 120. When the pool robot needs to enter the pool, the pool robot can better move from the surface of the support member 120 to the support surface 113. The support member 110 rotates from the second posture to the first posture, so that the pool robot can actively move or be driven into the pool.

[0047] Through the above arrangement, the supporting member 110 can drive the pool robot or enable the pool robot to actively enter or leave the pool by rotating between the first posture and the second posture.

[0048] For further information, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the third posture of the embodiment of the carrier assembly of the present application. Figures 1 to 4 , the carrier 110 can also rotate to a third position. When the carrier 110 rotates to the third position, the carrier surface 113 faces the support member 120, the carrier surface 113 can be parallel to and spaced from the support member 120, and a first accommodation space 130 is formed between the carrier surface 113 and the support member 120. The first accommodation space 130 is used to accommodate the pool robot. When the pool robot is located in the first accommodation space 130, the orthographic projection of the carrier 110 along the direction from the carrier 110 to the support member 120 at least partially covers the pool robot.

[0049] Through the above arrangement, when the pool robot leaves the pool, the pool robot can be located in the first accommodating space 130, and the supporting component 110 is located above the pool robot, which can shield the light irradiated from above to the pool robot and the falling dust. After leaving the pool, the pool robot is not easily exposed to sunlight for a long time and thus suffers from aging and other faults, nor is it easily dirty due to dust accumulation. The pool robot can be well stored, and the supporting component 100 is easy to use.

[0050] In one embodiment, the carrier 110 rotates to a storage posture after the pool robot enters or leaves the pool. The storage posture may be a posture in which the carrier 110 rotates to be close to the pool wall, or a posture in which the carrier 110 rotates to be close to the support member 120. The specific storage posture may be preset according to actual conditions and experience.

[0051] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the bearing assembly 100 further includes a driving assembly 140. The driving assembly 140 is connected to the bearing member 110. The driving assembly 140 can output power. The driving assembly 140 can drive the bearing member 110 to rotate along a rotation direction around the connection between the bearing member 110 and the support member 120. The rotation direction can be perpendicular to the bearing surface 113 and around the connection direction.

[0052] Through the above arrangement, the bearing member 110 is connected to the support member 120 through the driving assembly 140 and driven to rotate, and the structure is compact and simple, and there is no need to set other structures on the support member 120 or the bearing member 110 to increase the volume of the bearing assembly 100. At the same time, since the bearing member 110 is driven by the driving assembly 140, the bearing assembly 100 can autonomously control the rotation of the bearing member 110, and no manual participation is required for the rotation, which is convenient to use.

[0053] The driving assembly 140 may be directly connected to the carrier 110 or indirectly connected to the carrier 110. For example, the driving assembly 140 may be disposed at the connection between the carrier 110 and the support 120. The driving assembly 140 is directly connected to the carrier 110. The carrier 110 is connected to the support 120 through the driving assembly 140. The location of the driving assembly 140 may be determined according to actual conditions, for example, the driving assembly 140 may be disposed on the support 120, or on the carrier 110, or may be partially disposed on the support 120 and partially disposed on the carrier 110.

[0054] In one embodiment, the driving assembly 140 includes a rotating shaft 141 and a driving member 142. The rotating shaft 141 is disposed on the support member 120 or the first end 111. The axis of the rotating shaft 141 is parallel to the bearing surface 113. The first end 111 rotates on the support member 120 through the rotating shaft 141. The driving member 142 can be disposed on the support member 120, can be disposed on the bearing member 110, or can be disposed independently. The driving member 142 is connected to the rotating shaft 141. The driving member 142 can output power to the rotating shaft 141. The driving member 142 can be a motor, etc. The driving member 142 is used to drive the rotating shaft 141 so that the bearing member 110 rotates relative to the support member 120.

[0055] Through the above arrangement, the bearing member 110 can be simply connected to the support member 120 through the rotating shaft 141 and driven to rotate by the driving member 142 without manual rotation of the rotating shaft 141. The bearing assembly 100 has a simple structure and is easy to use.

[0056] The rotating shaft 141 can be arranged at the first end 111 or at the support member 120, which is not limited here. For example, in one specific embodiment, the rotating shaft 141 is arranged at the first end 111. An axial hole is arranged on the support member 120. The rotating shaft 141 is arranged in the axial hole, so that the first end 111 is rotatably connected to the support member 120. For example, in another specific embodiment, the rotating shaft 141 is arranged at the support member 120. A through hole is opened at the first end 111. The through hole is sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 141, so that the first end 111 is rotatably connected to the support member 120.

[0057] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another embodiment of the load-bearing assembly of the present application. Figures 1 to 4 In another embodiment, the bearing member 110 can rotate relative to the support member 120, specifically including: the bearing member 110 includes a first bearing member 114 and a second bearing member 115 connected to the first bearing member 114. A first bearing surface (not shown in the figure) is provided on the first bearing member 114. A second bearing surface (not shown in the figure) is provided on the second bearing member 115. The first bearing surface is connected with the second bearing surface to form a bearing surface 113. One end of the first bearing member 114 is rotatably connected to the support member 120 through a driving component 140. When the driving component 140 drives the first bearing member 114 to rotate, the first bearing member 114 drives the second bearing member 115 to rotate. The bearing member 110 also includes a rotating component 116. One end of the first bearing member 114 away from the support member 120 is rotatably connected to the second bearing member 115 through the rotating component 116. When the second bearing member 115 rotates relative to the first bearing member 114, the angle between the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface changes.

[0058] When the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface are rotated to face the support member 120, the support member 120, the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface are surrounded to form a second accommodating space 150. The second accommodating space 150 is used to accommodate the pool robot. When the pool robot is located in the second accommodating space 150, along the direction of the second bearing member 115 toward the support member 120, the orthographic projection of the second bearing member 115 at least partially covers the pool robot.

[0059] Through the above arrangement, the pool robot can be located in the second accommodating space 150, at which time the second bearing member 115 is located above the pool robot, and the first bearing member 114 is located on one side of the pool robot, and the two can shield the light irradiated to the pool robot and the falling dust. After leaving the pool, the pool robot is not easily exposed to sunlight for a long time and thus suffers from aging and other faults, nor is it easily dirty due to dust accumulation. The pool robot can be well stored, and the bearing assembly 100 is easy to use.

[0060] In addition, the second bearing member 115 can further rotate around the rotating assembly 116 relative to the first bearing member 114, so that when the first bearing surface is perpendicular or inclined relative to the surface of the support member 120, the second bearing surface can be oriented and parallel to the surface of the support member 120. When the support member 120, the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface are surrounded to form the second accommodating space 150, the structure is more compact, and the space occupied by the bearing assembly 100 can be smaller.

[0061] In one embodiment, the rotating assembly 116 includes a second rotating shaft (not shown in the figure). The second supporting member 115 is rotatably connected to the first supporting member 114 via the second rotating shaft.

[0062] The driving force for the second bearing member 115 to rotate around the second rotating shaft can be gravity, or can be a driving force provided by other structures, etc., which is not limited here. In a specific embodiment, when the first bearing member 114 rotates, the second bearing member 115 rotates around the second rotating shaft under the action of gravity until the second bearing surface faces the surface of the support member 120. In another specific embodiment, the rotating assembly 116 also includes a second driving member (not shown in the figure). The second driving member can be a motor, etc. The second driving member is used to drive the second rotating shaft so that the second bearing member 115 rotates relative to the first bearing member 114.

[0063] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 Schematic diagram of another embodiment of the load-bearing assembly of the present application. Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment, the carrier 110 is provided with a locking portion 117. The locking portion 117 is used to connect the pool robot to the carrying surface 113. When the pool robot is connected to the carrying surface 113 by the locking portion 117, the pool robot cannot move relative to the carrying surface 113. When the locking portion 117 releases the connection between the pool robot and the carrying surface 113, the pool robot can move relative to the carrying surface 113.

[0064] Through the above arrangement, the locking portion 117 can lock the pool robot when the supporting member 110 rotates, so that the pool robot is not easily separated from the supporting surface 113 and falls due to inertia, and the process of the pool robot entering or leaving the pool is more stable.

[0065] The locking portion 117 can connect the pool robot to the carrying surface 113 by means of structural locking, magnetic attraction, etc., which are not limited here. In a specific embodiment, the locking portion 117 can be retracted on the carrying surface 113. When the locking portion 117 extends out of the carrying surface 113, the locking portion 117 can be locked and fixed to the pool robot. The pool robot is fixed to the carrying surface 113 by the locking portion 117. When the locking portion 117 retracts into the carrying surface 113, the pool robot and the locking portion 117 are unlocked. The pool robot can move relative to the carrying surface 113.

[0066] As in another specific embodiment, the locking portion 117 is magnetic. The magnetic field of the locking portion 117 can be changed. The pool robot is correspondingly provided with a magnetic part. When the magnetic field of the locking portion 117 is changed to be magnetically attracted to the magnetic part, the pool robot is magnetically locked on the bearing surface 113. When the magnetic field of the locking portion 117 is changed to not be magnetically attracted to the magnetic part, the electromagnet and the magnetic part are released. The pool robot can move relative to the bearing surface 113.

[0067] Through the above arrangement, the locking portion 117 can firmly connect the pool robot to the carrying surface 113 , so that the pool robot is not likely to slide off the carrying surface 113 , and the carrying assembly 100 is stable in use.

[0068] In another embodiment, the locking portion 117 is provided on the pool robot. The bearing surface 113 is provided with a locking structure that cooperates with the locking portion 117. The locking structure can be a groove, a locking hook, etc. When the locking portion 117 extends from the pool robot, the locking portion 117 is locked with the locking structure. The pool robot is fixed to the bearing surface 113.

[0069] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 7 In one embodiment, a photovoltaic module (not shown in the figure) is provided on the back side of the carrier 110 opposite to the carrier surface 113. The photovoltaic module is used to convert light energy into electrical energy. The photovoltaic module can be a solar panel, etc. The photovoltaic module can replenish electrical energy for the carrier 110 itself and for devices that are in direct or indirect contact with the carrier 110. For example, when the photovoltaic module is electrically connected to the support 120, the photovoltaic module can replenish electrical energy for electrical devices in the support 120, such as a pool robot that is in contact with the support 120. The method of replenishing electrical energy can be wired charging or wireless charging.

[0070] Through the above arrangement, the power of the electrical devices in the support member 120 can be provided by the photovoltaic components, and no additional wires are required for power connection. The installation is convenient and the arrangement is flexible, which also makes the support assembly 100 more environmentally friendly.

[0071] In one embodiment, the first end 111 of the carrier 110 is fixed to the support 120. Thus, the carrier 110 is directly fixed to the support 120, and the pool robot directly enters or leaves the pool along the inclined carrier surface 113, and the carrier assembly 100 has a simple structure.

[0072] The first end 111 of the carrier 110 and the support 120 may be connected by threaded connection, welding, bonding, etc., which are not limited here. As in this embodiment, the first end 111 of the carrier 110 and the support 120 are integrally formed.

[0073] In one embodiment, the support member 120 includes a receiving portion 122. The receiving portion 122 is formed with a receiving groove 1221. The receiving groove 1221 can accommodate the pool robot. The pool robot can move into the receiving groove 1221. The receiving groove 1221 is provided with a charging component 1221a and / or a cleaning component (not shown in the figure). The charging component 1221a is used to charge the pool robot, and the charging method can be wired charging or wireless charging. The cleaning component is used to clean the pool robot.

[0074] Through the above arrangement, when the pool robot leaves the pool, it can be driven to the receiving tank 1221 for parking and storage. At the same time, a charging component 1221a and / or a cleaning component can be arranged in the receiving tank 1221, and maintenance work such as charging and / or cleaning can be performed on the pool robot when the pool robot is in the receiving tank 1221, making the carrying component 100 more intelligent and convenient to use.

[0075] The arrangement and location of the charging component 1221a and the cleaning component can be determined according to actual conditions. For example, in one specific embodiment, the accommodating groove 1221 is provided with a charging component 1221a. The charging component 1221a is arranged on the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 1221. For example, in another specific embodiment, the accommodating groove 1221 is provided with a cleaning component. The cleaning component is arranged on the bottom wall or the side wall of the accommodating groove 1221. For example, in another specific embodiment, the accommodating groove 1221 is provided with a charging component 1221a and a cleaning component. The charging component 1221a is arranged on the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 1221. The cleaning component is arranged on the bottom wall or the side wall of the accommodating groove 1221.

[0076] In one embodiment, the support member 120 includes a connecting portion 121. One end of the connecting portion is connected to the support member 110, and the other end is connected to the accommodating portion 122. The pool robot can travel from the support member 110 to the connecting portion 121, and then travel from the connecting portion 121 to the accommodating portion 122.

[0077] Furthermore, an inclined surface 123 is formed between the connecting portion 121 and the accommodating portion 122. Thus, when the pool robot moves from the connecting portion 121 to the accommodating groove 1221, the pool robot can be guided by the inclined surface 123, and the movement is smoother and more stable, thereby increasing the use stability of the bearing assembly 100.

[0078] In one embodiment, a charging component 1121a and / or a cleaning component are provided on the carrier 110. When the pool robot contacts the carrier 110, the carrier 110 performs maintenance work such as charging and / or cleaning on the pool robot. The carrier 110 can charge and / or clean the pool robot resting on the carrier 110 in the first posture. When the carrier 110 can be rotated to the third posture, the carrier 110 can also rotate to contact the pool robot after the pool robot is stored in the first accommodating space 130, and charge and / or clean the pool robot.

[0079] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 7 In one embodiment, the bearing surface 113 is provided with an anti-skid portion 1131. The anti-skid portion 1131 is used to increase the friction of the bearing surface 113. Thus, when the pool robot moves relative to the bearing surface 113, the pool robot is not easy to slip and the movement is more stable.

[0080] The number and distribution of the anti-skid portions 1131 can be determined according to actual conditions and are not limited here. In this embodiment, a plurality of anti-skid portions 1131 are provided. The plurality of anti-skid portions 1131 are spaced apart and arranged on the bearing surface 113 along the direction from the first end 111 to the second end 112.

[0081] The structure of the anti-skid portion 1131 can also be determined according to actual conditions, as long as it can achieve the effect of increasing friction. In one specific embodiment, the anti-skid portion 1131 is a rubber strip protruding from the bearing surface 113. In another specific embodiment, the anti-skid portion 1131 is a plurality of protrusions distributed at intervals on the surface of the bearing surface 113.

[0082] In one embodiment, a plurality of scales (not shown in the figure) are arranged on the support member 110 along the direction from the first end 111 to the second end 112. The setting position of the scales can match the lowest preset water level of the pool. For example, when the support member 110 is in a preset posture relative to the water surface of the pool, such as vertical, the position of at least one scale coincides with the lowest preset water level, so that the user can add water to the pool according to the scale line corresponding to the lowest preset water level. Through the above setting, the user can intuitively judge whether the current water level of the pool meets the minimum requirement through the scale, thereby reducing the probability that the pool robot cannot operate normally due to the water level of the pool being too shallow.

[0083] In one embodiment, the carrier 110 is provided with a detection member (not shown in the figure). The detection member is used to detect the water depth of the pool. The detection member can be a sensor capable of detecting distance, such as a laser sensor, an infrared sensor, etc. The carrier 110 can also be provided with a communication module. The communication module signal connects the detection member. When the detection member detects that the water depth of the pool is lower than the lowest preset water level, the communication module sends a prompt message to the user.

[0084] In one embodiment, a baffle 118 is further disposed on the bearing surface 113. The baffle 118 is disposed on an edge of the bearing surface 113 adjacent to the first end 111 and the second end 112. The baffle 118 is extended from the first end 111 to the second end 112.

[0085] Through the above arrangement, when the pool robot is located on the carrying surface 113, the baffle 118 can limit the position of the pool robot, so that the pool robot can only move from the first end 111 to the second end 112 or from the second end 112 to the first end 111. The pool robot is not easy to slide off the carrying surface 113, and the carrying assembly 100 is stable in use.

[0086] In one embodiment, the second end 112 of the support 110 is provided with a guide structure (not shown in the figure). The guide structure is used to assist the pool robot to move from the pool to the support 110. For example, in one specific embodiment, the guide structure is a guide slope formed by bending one end of the baffle 118 close to the second end 112. Along the direction from the first end 111 to the second end 112, the distance from the guide slope to the central axis of the support surface 113 gradually increases. The central axis of the support surface 113 refers to the center line of the support surface 113 along the direction from the first end 111 to the second end 112. When the pool robot moves from the pool to the support 110, the pool robot may contact the guide slope. The guide slope guides the pool robot toward the central axis of the support surface 113, so that the pool robot is guided to the support surface 113.

[0087] As in another specific embodiment, a plurality of guide wheels (not shown in the figure) are provided on the side of the baffle 118 facing the central axis of the bearing surface 113. The guide wheels can rotate relative to the baffle 118. The rotation axis of the guide wheels is perpendicular to the bearing surface 113, or is inclined at a certain angle relative to the bearing surface 113, such as 10 degrees or 20 degrees. The shape of the guide wheels can be set to be spherical or pancake-shaped. When the pool robot moves from the pool to the bearing member 110, the guide wheels can contact the side wall of the pool robot. When the guide wheels rotate, the pool robot is guided to the bearing surface 113 under the rotation and guiding action of the guide wheels.

[0088] Furthermore, guide grooves (not shown) matching the guide wheels may be provided on the side walls of the pool robot. The guide grooves may extend in a direction parallel to the bearing surface 113. When the pool robot moves from the pool to the bearing member 110, the guide wheels may be embedded in the corresponding guide grooves and roll in contact with the bottom wall or side wall of the guide grooves. The pool robot is limited by the guide wheels and can only move in a direction parallel to the bearing surface 113. When the guide wheels rotate, the pool robot is guided to the bearing surface 113 under the rotation and guidance of the guide wheels.

[0089] Through the above arrangement, the guide structure can assist the pool robot to move from the pool to the carrier 110, reducing the difficulty of the pool robot climbing onto the carrier 110. In addition, when the pool robot is not aligned with the carrier surface 113 due to positioning error, the guide structure is also helpful to assist the pool robot to the alignment position, and the carrier assembly 100 is more stable in use.

[0090] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of the pool robot control method provided by the present application. It should be noted that if there are substantially the same results, this embodiment is not used. Figure 1 The process sequence shown is limited. Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment includes:

[0091] S11: It is detected that the pool robot currently has a need to enter or leave the pool.

[0092] This embodiment is used for the pool robot to enter or leave the pool with the help of the bearing component having at least the first posture on the bearing assembly, so as to realize the pool robot automatically entering or leaving the pool. The execution subject of this embodiment can be but not limited to the pool robot, and can also be other processing equipment, such as a base station, or a processor, etc.

[0093] In one embodiment, the need for the pool robot to enter or leave the pool can be determined based on a received instruction requiring the pool robot to enter or leave the pool, wherein the instruction can be a single instruction generated by a terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone, a remote control, etc.) or multiple instructions continuously or intermittently generated by the terminal device.

[0094] For example, when the pool robot is required to enter the pool to perform a target task, a corresponding instruction can be generated through the terminal device to control the robot to enter the pool to perform the target task. In this embodiment, the specific tasks performed by the pool robot are not limited; for example, the pool robot can be used to clean the pool, water surface, walls, etc., and can also be used to disinfect the pool, water surface, walls, etc., and perform security patrols, etc.

[0095] In another embodiment, the robot may detect the existence of any target scene and determine that the robot currently needs to leave the pool. The target scene includes at least one of the following: the power is lower than the power threshold, the remaining capacity of the box for storing cleaning objects is lower than the capacity threshold, and the target task is completed. The power threshold, the capacity threshold, and the target task are not limited and can be specifically set according to actual use needs.

[0096] S12: Control the pool robot to move onto the supporting member of the supporting assembly, so that the pool robot enters or leaves the pool with the aid of the supporting member having at least the first posture.

[0097] In this embodiment, the bearing member in the first posture extends below the lowest preset water level of the pool, and forms a preset angle with the support member of the bearing assembly. When the bearing surface can be tilted and extended below the lowest preset water level of the pool, the edge of the pool can be connected to the water surface of the pool, so that the pool robot can move into or out of the pool with the help of the bearing surface, that is, the pool robot can enter and exit the water through the bearing assembly, and no longer needs to be manually transported, dropped or salvaged, which is convenient to use. For details about the bearing assembly, bearing member, support member and the first posture, please refer to the above description, and no more details will be given here.

[0098] In one implementation scenario, after the pool robot moves onto the carrier of the carrying assembly, it leaves the pool by actively moving on the carrier in a direction away from the water surface, or enters the pool by actively moving on the carrier in a direction close to the water surface.

[0099] In another implementation scenario, the pool robot is a load-bearing component that drives the pool robot into or out of the pool by changing the position of the load-bearing component. Optionally, the load-bearing component can change the position of the load-bearing component by rotating the load-bearing component. Of course, the load-bearing component can also change the position of the load-bearing component by controlling the load-bearing component to move up and down. Among them, the load-bearing component includes a first end and a second end that are relatively arranged, and a load-bearing surface is formed between the first end and the second end, so as to control the pool robot to move to the load-bearing component of the load-bearing component, and then drive the pool robot into or out of the pool by changing the position of the load-bearing component. Driving the pool robot into or out of the pool can be that the pool robot moves along the load-bearing surface, the load-bearing surface moves relative to the support, and the pool robot enters or leaves the pool under the combined action of its own movement and the movement of the load-bearing surface; it can also be that the pool robot is stationary relative to the load-bearing surface, the load-bearing surface moves relative to the support and drives the pool robot into or out of the pool.

[0100] In one embodiment, after detecting that the pool robot currently has a need to enter or leave the pool, an adjustment instruction may be sent to the bearing assembly to instruct the bearing assembly to adjust the bearing member in the bearing assembly to a target posture through the adjustment instruction, so that the pool robot can move to the bearing assembly through the bearing member in the target posture. The target posture is that the angle between the bearing member and the inner wall of the pool is within a preset angle range. That is, the angle between the bearing member adjusted to the target posture and the support member is within a preset angle range, and the specific preset angle range can be determined according to actual needs, for example, it can be but not limited to an angle range of 45-180 degrees, and can also be an angle range greater than or equal to 45-180 degrees.

[0101] In one embodiment, the bearing member further has a second posture and / or a third posture, wherein the angle formed between the bearing member in the second posture and the support member is different from the preset angle.

[0102] Optionally, the bearing member in the second posture is above the water surface of the pool or below the water surface of the pool, and the angle between the bearing member and the surface of the support member is less than a preset threshold, so that when the bearing member rotates to the second posture, the pool robot can be more stably connected to the bearing member or can overcome obstacles such as gravity on the bearing member and move in the target direction. The specific preset threshold can be pre-set according to the specific settings and experience of the bearing assembly, and is not limited here. For example, the bearing member in the second posture is above the water surface of the pool and is basically parallel to the surface of the support member, so that when the bearing member rotates to the second posture, the pool robot can be taken away from the water surface, so that the pool robot can leave the pool.

[0103] In this embodiment, the bearing surface of the bearing member in the third position faces the supporting member, and an accommodating space is formed between the bearing surface and the supporting member, and the accommodating space is used to accommodate the pool robot.

[0104] In a specific embodiment, when the pool robot is in the pool, the target position of the carrier is the first position. If it is detected that the pool robot currently needs to leave the pool, the pool robot can be controlled to move to the carrier in the first position, and then the carrier is changed from the first position to the second position to drive the pool robot out of the pool. Preferably, in order to facilitate the control of the pool robot to quickly move to the carrier when it is detected that the pool robot currently needs to leave the pool, the carrier can maintain the first position after the pool robot enters the pool with the help of the carrier.

[0105] Optionally, after changing the supporting member from the first position to the second position to drive the pool robot out of the pool, the supporting member may continue to be changed from the second position to the third position so that the supporting surface of the supporting member faces the supporting member, and the accommodating space formed between the supporting surface and the supporting member is used to accommodate the pool robot.

[0106] In another specific embodiment, when the pool robot is currently on the shore, the target position of the supporting member is the second position; further, if it is detected that the pool robot currently needs to enter the pool, the pool robot can be controlled to move to the supporting member in the second position, and the supporting assembly drives the pool robot into the pool by changing the supporting member from the second position to the first position.

[0107] In one embodiment, after the pool robot leaves the pool or before entering the pool, the supporting component is in the second posture or the third posture.

[0108] Exemplarily, after the last time the support member was moved from the first position to the second position to drive the pool robot out of the pool, the support member is kept in the second position so that when it is detected that the pool robot currently has a need to enter the pool, the pool robot can be directly controlled to move to the support member in the second position.

[0109] Alternatively, when the supporting member is in the third position and after detecting that the pool robot currently has a need to enter the pool, the supporting member can be first adjusted from the third position to the second position, and then the pool robot can be controlled to move to the supporting member in the second position, thereby adjusting the supporting member from the second position to the first position to achieve entry into the water.

[0110] Of course, in other embodiments, after the pool robot leaves the pool or before entering the pool, the carrier is in the first posture. In order to control the pool robot to quickly move to the carrier when it is detected that the pool robot currently needs to enter the pool, the carrier of the carrier assembly can be adjusted to the second posture when it is detected that the pool robot currently needs to enter the pool, so that the pool robot can quickly move to the carrier in the second posture.

[0111] For details about the minimum preset water level, support member, preset angle, first posture, second posture and third posture, please refer to the above description, which will not be repeated here.

[0112] In some embodiments, the bearing assembly further comprises a photovoltaic assembly, which is used to supply power to at least one of the pool robot, the bearing member and the support member, and / or to shield at least one of the pool robot, the bearing member and the support member.

[0113] The photovoltaic assembly may be arranged on a carrier, on a support, or independently of the carrier and the support, which may be determined according to the actual use of the photovoltaic assembly.

[0114] Exemplarily, the photovoltaic component is used to shield at least one of the pool robot, the carrier and the support. In this scenario, the photovoltaic component can be a shed-like structure that is not connected to any of the pool robot, the carrier and the support, and is only used to shield at least one of the pool robot, the carrier and the support.

[0115] In a specific embodiment, a photovoltaic module is provided on the back of the bearing surface of the support member for supporting the pool robot. The photovoltaic module is used to convert light energy into electrical energy. The photovoltaic module can replenish electrical energy for the support member itself and for devices that are in direct or indirect contact with the support member. For example, when the photovoltaic module is electrically connected to the support member, it replenishes electrical energy for electrical devices in the support member. The method of replenishing electrical energy can be wired charging or wireless charging. In an embodiment, the photovoltaic module is used to power the pool robot and / or the support member when the support member is in the third posture.

[0116] In one embodiment, if it is detected that the pool robot currently needs to leave the pool, the pool robot can be controlled to sink to the bottom of the pool, and then the pool robot can be controlled to move from the bottom of the pool along the inner wall of the pool to the support member in a target moving route, and then the pool robot can be driven to leave the pool by changing the position of the support member. The target moving route can instruct the pool robot to find the support member. In this embodiment, the inner wall of the pool includes the bottom and side walls of the pool.

[0117] The target moving route can be a random route, that is, the pool robot can move randomly along the inner wall of the pool until the pool robot finds the carrier. Of course, the target moving route can also be an N-shaped route, that is, the pool robot can move along the inner wall of the pool in an N-shaped trajectory until the pool robot finds the carrier; of course, the target moving route can also be partly a random route and partly an N-shaped route. The specific target moving route can be determined according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here.

[0118] In addition, when the pool robot needs to leave the pool, it can also move from the current position of the pool robot in the pool toward the water surface, and then move along the water surface to find the carrier; of course, after leaving the carrier and entering the pool, the pool robot can also record the movement route in the pool, so that when there is a need to leave the pool, a regression route can be generated according to the recorded movement route, and then the carrier can be found according to the regression route.

[0119] Furthermore, in the process of the carrying assembly driving the pool robot into or out of the pool, in order to prevent the pool robot from slipping off the carrying member, an anti-skid portion and / or a locking portion may be provided on the carrying member of the carrying assembly, so that in the process of the carrying assembly driving the pool robot into or out of the pool, the friction between the pool robot and the carrying member is increased through the anti-skid portion, and / or the pool robot is connected through the locking portion, so that the pool robot can be stably connected to the carrying member. For details about the anti-skid portion and the locking portion, please refer to the above description.

[0120] In one embodiment, in a scenario where the supporting assembly is connected to the pool robot via a locking portion, after the supporting assembly changes the posture of the supporting component, the locking portion needs to be controlled to be in a non-connected state so that the pool robot can detach from the supporting assembly and enter or leave the pool.

[0121] Exemplarily, after the support member changes to a preset posture, the locking portion is controlled to be in a non-connected state so that the pool robot can be separated from the support assembly. The preset posture and the current posture of the support member are related to the current demand of the pool robot. Exemplarily, if the current demand of the pool robot is to enter the water, the preset posture is the first posture, and if the current demand of the pool robot is to leave the pool, the preset posture is the second posture.

[0122] It should be noted that in this implementation scenario, after the pool robot is controlled to move onto the carrier of the carrying component, a trigger signal is sent to the carrying component to trigger the carrying component to change the posture of the carrying component to drive the pool robot to enter or leave the pool.

[0123] The pool robot needs to meet a trigger condition to trigger the carrying component to drive the pool robot into or out of the pool. The trigger condition for the carrying component to drive the pool robot into or out of the pool includes at least one of the following: the pool robot moves to a motion stop position on the carrying component, and the pool robot is connected to the carrying component.

[0124] In one embodiment, after detecting that the pool robot currently has a need to enter or leave the pool, the pool robot can be first controlled to move to the carrying component, and then the pool robot can be connected to the motion stop position on the carrying component, so that the pool robot meets the conditions for triggering the carrying component to drive the pool robot to enter or leave the pool. After the above trigger conditions are met, a trigger instruction is sent to the carrying component to instruct the carrying component to drive the pool robot to enter or leave the pool. The process of controlling the pool robot to move to the carrying component to trigger the carrying component to drive the pool robot to enter or leave the pool can be referred to below. Fig. 9 Related description of the corresponding embodiment.

[0125] In another embodiment, the motion stop position may be determined in advance on the bearing assembly, and when the pool robot moves to the motion stop position on the bearing assembly, it is determined that the pool robot meets the trigger condition, and then a trigger instruction is sent to the bearing assembly to instruct the bearing assembly to change the position of the bearing component to drive the pool robot into or out of the pool. Alternatively, when the pool robot is connected to the bearing assembly, it is determined that the pool robot meets the trigger condition, and then a trigger instruction is sent to the bearing assembly to instruct the bearing assembly to change the position of the bearing component to drive the pool robot into or out of the pool.

[0126] The above-mentioned pool robot control method controls the pool robot to move to the bearing member of the bearing assembly after detecting that the pool robot currently has the need to enter or leave the pool, so that the pool robot enters or leaves the pool with the aid of the bearing member having at least the first posture. Since when the bearing member is in the first posture, a preset angle is formed between the bearing surface and the support member, and the second end extends from the edge of the pool to below the lowest preset water level of the pool, that is, the bearing member in the first posture can connect the edge of the pool with the water surface of the pool, so that the pool robot can move into or leave the pool with the aid of the bearing member, and no manual handling, placement or salvage is required, which is convenient to use.

[0127] See also Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 yes Figure 8 The flowchart of an embodiment of step S12 is shown. In this embodiment, step S12 controls the pool robot to move to the bearing assembly so that the pool robot enters or leaves the pool with the aid of the bearing assembly having at least the first posture, including:

[0128] S21: Control the pool robot to move onto the carrying component.

[0129] The specific method of controlling the pool robot to move onto the carrying component can be referred to the relevant description of step S12, and will not be elaborated here.

[0130] S22: Connect the pool robot to the motion stop position on the supporting component.

[0131] It should be noted that before the carrying assembly is triggered to drive the pool robot into or out of the pool, the pool robot may be connected to the carrying assembly so that the carrying assembly can stably drive the pool robot into or out of the pool. Therefore, in one embodiment, after controlling the pool robot to move onto the carrying assembly, the pool robot is first controlled to move to a motion stop position on the carrying assembly, and then the locking portion at the motion stop position is used to connect the pool robot, so as to achieve a stable connection between the pool robot and the carrying assembly, thereby enabling the pool robot to stably enter or leave the pool.

[0132] In this embodiment, the motion stop position is a position that facilitates the physical connection between the pool robot and the carrying component.

[0133] In one embodiment, when a sensor component is provided on the carrying component and the pool robot, the sensor component can be used to detect whether the pool robot moves to the movement stop position of the carrying component, and when it is detected that the pool robot moves to the movement stop position of the carrying component, the pool robot is connected to the movement stop position.

[0134] The sensing component includes a first in-position sensor arranged on the pool robot and a second in-position sensor arranged at a preset position or a motion stop position of the bearing component.

[0135] When it is detected that the pool robot moves to the movement stop position of the bearing assembly, the pool robot can be controlled to be connected to the locking portion on the bearing assembly.

[0136] In one implementation scenario, the second in-position sensor is arranged at a preset position of the carrying component, and the preset position can be any position on the carrying component. When the sensing component detects that the pool robot has reached the preset position of the carrying component, the pool robot is controlled to continue moving for a preset time or a preset distance and then stop moving to determine that it is currently in the movement stop position; wherein, the specific preset time or preset distance can be determined according to the preset position.

[0137] In another implementation scenario, the second arrival sensor is disposed at the movement stop position of the carrying component, so the sensor component can be directly used to detect whether the pool robot reaches the movement stop position of the carrying component.

[0138] In another embodiment, when the supporting component and the pool robot are not provided with a sensor component, in order to facilitate the pool robot to quickly move to the motion stop position, the pool robot can be controlled to move to a preset position, and then move downward from the preset position, and during the downward movement, the pool robot is connected using the locking portion at the motion stop position.

[0139] Optionally, since the waterline of the pool is relatively easy to identify, the waterline can be used as the preset position. For example, when the pool robot moves to the waterline, the pool robot will detect that there is no displacement at the waterline (the machine cannot continue to move at the waterline), or a detector for detecting the water depth provided on the pool robot can detect the water depth. Of course, when other positions are also relatively easy to identify due to the pool robot setting and / or implementation scenario, the preset position can also be other easily identifiable positions, which are not specifically limited here.

[0140] S23: Sending a trigger instruction to the carrying component to instruct the carrying component to change the posture of the carrying component to drive the pool robot to enter or leave the pool.

[0141] In this embodiment, after the pool robot is connected to the motion stop position on the carrying component, a trigger instruction is sent to the carrying component to trigger the carrying component to change the posture of the carrying component, thereby driving the pool robot to enter or leave the pool.

[0142] In summary, this embodiment is used to connect the pool robot to the motion stop position on the supporting component so that the pool robot can be connected while the supporting component drives the pool robot into or out of the pool, thereby enabling the pool robot to smoothly enter or leave the pool.

[0143] In some embodiments, after the pool robot is controlled to move onto the carrying assembly, and after the carrying assembly changes the posture of the carrying member, the locking portion can be controlled to be in a non-connected state so that the pool robot can be separated from the carrying assembly. Exemplarily, the locking portion can be controlled to retract the carrying surface so that the locking portion is in a non-connected state, or the magnetic field of the locking portion is changed so as not to be attracted to the pool robot so that the locking portion is in a non-connected state.

[0144] In one implementation scenario, after controlling the pool robot to move onto the carrier of the carrier assembly, the cleaning assembly can be used to perform self-cleaning or the charging assembly can be used to perform charging.

[0145] Optionally, after the pool robot is controlled to move onto the carrier of the carrier assembly and the posture of the carrier is changed, the pool robot may not be controlled to detach from the carrier, and the pool robot may be allowed to perform self-cleaning or charging while on the carrier. Of course, after the pool robot is controlled to move onto the carrier of the carrier assembly, the posture of the carrier may not be changed, and the pool robot may not be controlled to detach from the carrier, but may be allowed to directly perform self-cleaning or charging.

[0146] In other embodiments, after the bearing assembly changes the posture of the bearing, the pool robot can be controlled to leave the bearing and perform self-cleaning or charging. If the pool robot needs to enter the pool, after the bearing assembly changes the posture of the bearing, the pool robot can be controlled to leave the bearing and enter the water.

[0147] In some embodiments, the pool robot is required to enter the pool and sink to the bottom of the pool to perform a preset task. After the supporting component changes the position of the supporting component, the pool robot can be controlled to leave the supporting component, enter the water, and then sink to the bottom of the pool. Of course, the pool robot can also be controlled to absorb water during the process of the supporting component changing the position of the supporting component, and after controlling the pool robot to leave the supporting component, it can directly sink to the bottom of the pool.

[0148] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the locking portion on the bearing assembly is a locking portion that can be controlled to be fixedly connected to the pool robot and separated from the pool robot, wherein the connection portion can be controlled to be fixedly connected to the pool robot or separated from the pool robot. In one embodiment, when it is detected that the pool robot has a need to enter or leave the pool, and when it is detected that the pool robot moves to the motion stop position of the bearing assembly, a connection instruction can be sent to the bearing assembly, so that the bearing assembly uses the locking portion at the motion stop position to connect to the pool robot, and then the bearing assembly drives the pool robot to stably enter or leave the pool, and after changing the posture of the bearing, the locking portion is controlled to separate from the pool robot, so that the pool robot can be controlled to enter or leave the pool after leaving the bearing.

[0149] In some embodiments, a detection member disposed on the carrier can also be used to detect the water depth of the pool, that is, the height between the water surface of the pool and the bottom wall of the pool. When it is detected that the water depth reaches (is less than or equal to) a minimum preset water level, a prompt message is sent to the user to prompt the user to add water to the pool.

[0150] See also Fig.10 , Fig.10 This is a schematic diagram of the framework of an embodiment of a pool robot system provided by the present application. In this embodiment, the pool robot system 1000 includes a pool robot 200 and a bearing assembly 100; the pool robot 200 is used to move to a bearing member (not shown in the figure) of the bearing assembly 100, so that the pool robot 200 can enter or leave the pool with the aid of a bearing member having at least a first posture; the bearing member in the first posture extends below the preset water level of the pool, and forms a preset angle with the support member of the bearing assembly; the bearing assembly 100 is used to carry the pool robot to move in or out of the pool. Specifically, the bearing assembly 100 can drive the pool robot 200 to enter or leave the pool by changing the posture of the bearing member, or the pool robot 200 can enter or leave the pool by moving on the bearing member. As a result, the pool robot 200 in the pool robot system 1000 can enter or leave the pool through the bearing assembly 100, and no manual handling, placement or salvage is required, and the pool robot system is convenient and easy to use.

[0151] In one embodiment, the pool robot and the supporting assembly can communicate with each other so that after the pool robot moves onto the supporting member of the supporting assembly, an adjustment instruction is sent to the supporting assembly, or after the pool robot moves onto the supporting member of the supporting assembly, an instruction to change the posture is sent to the supporting assembly, so that after receiving the adjustment instruction or the instruction to change the posture, the supporting assembly adjusts the supporting member in the supporting assembly to the target posture, or changes the posture of the supporting member.

[0152] Of course, in other embodiments, the pool robot and the carrier assembly may not communicate with each other. For example, after the pool robot moves to the carrier, the carrier assembly changes its posture through manual triggering (e.g., touch control), or after the pool robot is manually controlled (e.g., touch control) to move to the carrier assembly or the pool robot is placed on the carrier assembly, the carrier assembly automatically changes its posture, etc.

[0157] The above scheme, after detecting that the pool robot currently has a need to enter or leave the pool, controls the pool robot to move to the bearing member of the bearing assembly, so that the pool robot enters or leaves the pool with the aid of the bearing member having at least the first posture. Since when the bearing member is in the first posture, a preset angle is formed between the bearing surface and the support member, and the second end extends from the edge of the pool to below the lowest preset water level of the pool, that is, the bearing member in the first posture can connect the edge of the pool with the water surface of the pool, so that the pool robot can move into or leave the pool with the aid of the bearing member, and no manual handling, placement or salvage is required, which is convenient to use.
