DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0029] Example 1.

[0030] The filtering mechanism of the swimming pool robot described in this embodiment includes a filtering mechanism 200 detachably connected to the swimming pool robot 100, see Figure 1 As shown, the swimming pool robot 100 is provided with a receiving chamber 101 for installing the filtering mechanism 200 , the filtering mechanism 200 is installed in the receiving chamber 101 , and the receiving chamber 101 is also provided with a sewage discharge inlet 102 and a sewage extraction port 103 .

[0031] Specifically, the filtering mechanism 200 includes:

[0032] The filter box 10 is open at the top;

[0033] A cover 20 is hinged to one side of the opening of the filter box 10 to cover the opening;

[0034] A water inlet 30 is provided on the filter box 10;

[0035] One side edge of the cover body 20 extends outward to form a holding eave 21, and a first locking member 40 is provided on the holding eave 21. The first locking member 40 is used to lock or release the connection between the cover body 20 and the swimming pool robot 100;

[0036] A second locking member 50 is provided on the side of the cover body 20 away from the hinged connection with the filter box 10 . The second locking member 50 is used to lock or release the opening and closing of the cover body 20 relative to the filter box 10 .

[0037] When implementing it, Figure 1 As shown, the filter mechanism 200 is firmly fixed in the accommodating chamber 101 of the swimming pool robot 100 by means of the first locking member 40, and the water inlet 30 of the filter mechanism 200 is connected to the sewage discharge inlet 102, ensuring that the pool water containing the dirt at the bottom of the swimming pool can be effectively introduced into the filter box 10 for purification, and the purified pool water then returns to the accommodating chamber 101 and is discharged from the sewage extraction port 103, completing the cleaning process. This purification cycle continues as the swimming pool robot 100 moves until the entire swimming pool is cleaned.

[0038] After the cleaning task is completed, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The user can release the lock between the cover 20 and the swimming pool robot 100 by simply operating the first locking member 40. At this time, the filter mechanism 200 can be easily removed from the accommodating chamber 101. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the user can naturally hold the holding edge 21 of the cover body 20 while operating the first locking member 40. This design provides a stable gripping point, allowing the user to easily remove the filter mechanism 200, and because the holding edge 21 extends from the edge of the cover body 20, it allows the user to perform subsequent cleaning work without directly contacting the filter box 10.

[0039] During the cleanup phase, Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, exemplarily: the user can release the lock between the cover body 20 and the filter box 10 by operating the second locking member 50, thereby opening the top opening of the filter box 10, making it convenient for the user to clean the dirt accumulated inside. At the same time, the hinged design of the filter box 10 and the cover body 20 prevents the two from being accidentally separated, avoiding dirt from spilling, thereby reducing secondary pollution to the swimming pool and its surrounding environment.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the stability of the installation of the filter mechanism 200 , a plug-in protrusion 60 is provided on the side of the cover body 20 away from the first locking member 40 , and the cover body 20 is plugged and matched with the swimming pool robot 100 via the plug-in protrusion 60 .

[0041] When implementing it, Figure 1 As shown, the swimming pool robot 100 is provided with a positioning hole 104 that matches the insertion protrusion 60. In this way, when installing the filter mechanism 200, the insertion protrusion 60 can be first aligned with the positioning hole 104 and inserted, and then the cover body 20 and the swimming pool robot 100 can be locked by the first locking member 40. That is, the insertion protrusion 60 provides a clear physical guide, making it easier for the user to find the correct installation position when installing the filter mechanism 200. In addition, the presence of the insertion protrusion 60 can add an additional fixing point, which can cooperate with the first locking member 40 to fix when locking, thereby enhancing the stability of the overall installation of the filter mechanism 200.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, for easy cleaning and replacement, the filter box 10 includes a main frame 11 and a filter sheet 12, and the filter sheet 12 is detachably connected to the outer surface of the main frame 11. In this way, the detachable design of the filter sheet 12 allows the user to easily remove the filter sheet 12 for cleaning when necessary, and the cleaning effect is better. The cleaned filter sheet 12 can be quickly installed back to the main frame 11, ensuring that the filter mechanism 100 always maintains the best working state. At the same time, when the filter sheet 12 is damaged or reaches the end of its service life, the user can replace the filter sheet 12 alone without replacing the entire filter box 10, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0043] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom surface of the main frame 11 is in an arch bridge shape, so as to form a clearance space 13 at the bottom of the main frame 11. In this embodiment, the arch bridge-shaped structural design of the bottom surface of the main frame 11 increases the effective surface area of ​​the bottom of the filter box 10, so as to assemble more filter screens 12 to obtain a larger filtering area, thereby improving the filtering efficiency and the overall cleaning effect. At the same time, the arch bridge-shaped structural design also provides an installation space for the sewage extraction port 103 in the accommodating chamber 101, making the structure of the entire swimming pool robot 100 more compact. In addition, the arch bridge-shaped structural design forms a spatial structure with low-lying on both sides and a central protrusion inside the filter box 10. This design can effectively prevent dirt from moving around in the filter box 10 due to water flow disturbance, that is, the water flow is naturally guided to the low-lying areas on both sides when passing through the central protrusion, reducing the turbulence and disturbance of the water flow, making it easier for dirt to settle in the low-lying area, thereby reducing the probability of dirt accumulating near the sewage extraction port 103 (the filter screen part corresponding to the central protrusion).

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, for easy access and operation, the first locking member 40 includes a pressing plate 41, a hook 42 and a pressure rod 43, one end of the pressure rod 43 is connected to the pressing plate 41, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the holding eave 21 through a spring member 44, the hook 42 is arranged on the pressing plate 41 and is hinged to the holding eave 21; pressing the pressing plate 41 can release the hook 42 to achieve locking or unlocking of the cover body 20 and the swimming pool robot 100; an assembly opening for exposing the pressing plate 41 is provided on the outer surface of the holding eave 21.

[0045] In this way, the entire first locking member 40 is arranged on the inner side wall of the holding eave 21, and the pressing plate 41 is exposed on the outer surface of the holding eave 21 through an assembly opening (not shown in the figure). When the cover body 20 is locked with the swimming pool robot 100, the hook 42 buckles the edge portion of the accommodating cavity 101 under the elastic force of the pressure rod 43 and the spring member 44. When needed, it is only necessary to press the pressing plate 41 to make the pressure rod 43 compress the spring member 44. At this time, the buckle 43 is detached from the swimming pool robot 100, and the cover body 20 can be taken out together with the filter box 10.

[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to simply and effectively lock the cover body 20, the second locking member 50 includes a locking hook 51 and a locking groove 52, the locking hook 51 is fixed to the side of the filter box 10 away from the first locking member 40, and the locking groove 52 is arranged on the cover body 20 and corresponds to the locking hook 51 to achieve locking or releasing of the cover body 20 and the filter box 10.

[0047] In this embodiment, the locking hook 51 is a plastic part. When closing the filter box 10, the user only needs to gently press the cover body 20 downward to insert the locking hook 51 into the locking groove 52. The locking hook 51 tightly buckles the locking groove 52 through its own elastic deformation, completing the locking of the cover body 20 and the filter box 10; when the cover body 20 needs to be opened for cleaning or maintenance, the user only needs to gently press the locking hook 51 to deform the locking hook 51 and then the locking hook 51 can be removed from the locking groove 52, which is simple and efficient.

[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, in order to reduce the difficulty of operation, the locking hook 51 has an inclined surface structure 53 inclined toward the area where the locking groove 52 is located. The inclined surface structure 53 of the locking hook 51 makes the cover 20 smoother during installation, that is, the inclined surface structure 53 guides the locking hook 51 to slide smoothly into the locking groove 52, and the operation is more labor-saving.

[0049] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, in order to improve the convenience of operation, the holding edge 21 is located on the side where the cover body 20 and the filter box 10 are hinged.

[0050] In this way, the second locking member 50 is located on the opposite side of the holding eave 21, which allows the user to directly operate the second locking member 50 to lock or release the cover body 20 and the filter box 10 when taking out the entire filter mechanism 200 by holding the eave 21, without having to adjust the posture of taking the filter mechanism 200, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning.

[0051] The filter mechanism of the swimming pool robot provided in this embodiment can be detached from the robot at one time through structural design. This process is simple and quick. During the detachment process, the filter mechanism can be naturally held by holding the eaves, which allows the user to clean the filter without directly touching the filter box. In addition, when cleaning the dirt accumulated inside the filter mechanism, the hinged design of the filter box and the cover body will not cause the dirt to spill due to accidental separation, causing secondary pollution to the swimming pool and its surrounding environment.

[0052] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "vertical", "up", "down", "horizontal", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0053] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
