It can be understood that when the adjacent sliding covers 4 are nested, the inner sliding cover 4 is first sleeved inside the outer sliding cover 4, and then the stopper 17 is installed at the ends of the longitudinal frames 81 and 82 of the outer sliding cover 4 close to the inner sliding cover 4, so that the adjacent sliding covers 4 are not separated when the swimming pool cover 100 is extended.
[0063] In summary, the retractable swimming pool cover 100 provided in the present application can be smoothly extended and retracted without the need to cooperate with the swimming pool cover track. Specifically, first, the swimming pool cover 100 includes a plurality of sliding covers 4 that slide and nest with each other, so that the retractable swimming pool cover 100 can be fully opened, fully closed or partially opened as needed, and the switching is convenient. Second, the bottom ends of the first side cover 2 and the second side cover 3 away from the top cover 1 are respectively provided with pulleys 5, and the pulleys 5 are supported on the pool bank 201 of the swimming pool 200 and can slide along the pool bank 201. Third, at least one of the two adjacent sliding covers 4 is provided with a guide wheel 6, the axis of the guide wheel 6 is perpendicular to the axis of the pulley 5, and the guide wheel 6 is in contact with the first side cover 2 and / or the second side cover 3 of the other sliding cover 4. When the swimming pool cover 100 is extended and retracted, the guide wheel 6 on one sliding cover 4 slides horizontally on the other sliding cover 4, reducing the friction between the adjacent sliding covers 4 during extension and retraction, so that the swimming pool cover 100 can be smoothly extended and retracted.
