[0028] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects realized by the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to specific drawings.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the description of the present utility model herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the pool surface cleaning robot of the present utility model includes a body 1, a motor compartment 2, a floating body 3, a top cover 4, a solar panel 5, a power paddle 6, a storage basket 7 and a storage rolling paddle 8. Sealed motor compartments 2 are respectively provided on both sides of the body 1, and a through water channel is provided between the two motor compartments 2 on both sides. This water channel is used to collect floating objects on the pool surface. The top cover 4 covers the tops of the two motor compartments 2 and the water channel, and a solar panel 5 is embedded in the top cover 4 to supply power to the robot and extend the battery life.

[0031] A control panel 4c is provided on the top cover 4. After the whole machine is installed, turn on the power switch on the control panel 4c, and place the pool surface cleaning robot on the pool water surface to start autonomous surface cleaning. Protective rubber strips 4a are respectively wrapped around the four corners of the top cover 4, and a handle 4b is provided on it for easy carrying and use by personnel.

[0032] One side of the top cover 4 is provided with a TYPE-C charging port 4d, which can be connected and operated by an APP. The charger can be shared with a mobile phone, and users can perform manual charging or mobile phone remote control charging.

[0033] The power propellers 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the body 1. The propeller motors 10 are respectively located in the corresponding motor compartments 2 and drive the power propellers 6 to rotate respectively, so as to drive the robot to walk on the pool surface. If the rotation speeds of the power propellers 6 on both sides are the same, the robot will move forward in a straight line; if the rotation speeds of the power propellers 6 on both sides are different, it will turn; if the rotation directions of the power propellers 6 on both sides are opposite, it will turn in place.

[0034] A storage basket 7 is arranged in the water passage. Defining the forward direction of the robot as the front, the storage basket 7 is a drawer-type hollow structure with an open front end, which is convenient for water passing. The two side walls are slidably connected to the body. When there is too much garbage in the storage basket 7, the storage basket 7 can be pulled out backward. After emptying, it can be inserted back forward; it is fast to clean the garbage and has a simple structure.

[0035] A storage rolling propeller 8 is installed in the front port of the storage basket 7. One end of the storage rolling propeller 8 is driven by a rolling propeller motor 11. The rolling propeller motor 11 is located in the corresponding motor compartment 2. This motor compartment 2 accommodates the propeller motor 10 and the rolling propeller motor 11 and is a double motor compartment with a larger volume. The other is a single motor compartment that only accommodates the propeller motor 10. The outer ports of the two motor compartments 2 are respectively covered with sealed hatch covers 2a, that is, the sealed hatch covers 2a are close to the power propellers 6.

[0036] Circular rolling propeller fixing blocks 8a are respectively arranged at both ends of the storage rolling propeller 8. Ring-shaped flanges extending towards each other are respectively arranged on the outer edges of the two rolling propeller fixing blocks 8a. A plurality of embedding grooves are evenly arranged along the circumference of the ring-shaped flange. Both ends of each blade of the storage rolling propeller 8 are respectively embedded in the corresponding embedding grooves, which not only accurately positions each blade but also improves the strength and stiffness of the storage rolling propeller 8.

[0037] Floating bodies 3 are respectively arranged below both sides of the body. The floating bodies 3 can be directly fixed below the body or filled in the corresponding shells to provide buoyancy for the robot, so that the water line is higher than the inlet surface of the storage basket 7.

[0038] As Figure 4 shown, a motor fixing plate 9 is arranged in the single motor compartment. The output shaft of the propeller motor 10 passes through the through hole of the motor fixing plate 9 and a motor gear 12 is fixed at the shaft end. The motor gear 12 meshes with a large gear 13. The large gear 13 is fixed on the power shaft 14 by a flat key. The inner end of the power shaft 14 is installed in the motor fixing plate 9 through a bearing 15. The center of the outer end face of the large gear 13 abuts against the shaft shoulder of the power shaft 14. A shaft sleeve 16 is arranged between the center of the inner end face of the large gear 13 and the inner ring of the inner bearing to realize the axial positioning of the large gear 13.

[0039] The middle section of the power shaft 14 passes through the through-hole of the sealing hatch cover 2a and is supported in the sealing hatch cover 2a by a bearing 15. An oil seal 17 is provided at the part where the power shaft 14 passes through the sealing hatch cover 2a to ensure the sealing of the inner cavity of the motor compartment. The power propeller 6 is fixed to the outer end of the power shaft 14.

[0040] When installing a single-motor compartment, the inner end of the power shaft 14 sequentially passes through the large gear 13, the bushing 16 and the inner bearing. The outer ring of the inner bearing is fixed in the motor fixing plate 9. The outer end of the power shaft 14 sequentially passes through the outer bearing and the oil seal. The outer rings of the outer bearing and the oil seal are fixed in the sealing hatch cover 2a. Then, the motor gear 12 is fixed to the output shaft end of the propeller motor 10, so that the motor gear 12 meshes with the large gear 13. Next, the motor fixing plate 9 is fixed to the inner side of the sealing hatch cover 2a, and the two are parallel to each other and maintain a certain distance. Finally, the sealing hatch cover 2a is fixed to the outer port of the motor compartment.

[0041] As Figure 5 shown, there are two motor fixing plates 9 in the double-motor compartment. The propeller motor 10 and the rolling propeller motor 11 are respectively fixed on the corresponding motor fixing plates 9. The installation of the propeller motor 10 and the power propeller 6 is similar to that of the single-motor compartment but in the opposite direction, which will not be elaborated here.

[0042] The phase difference between the rolling propeller motor 11 and the propeller motor 10 in the double-motor compartment is 180°, that is, the installation direction of the rolling propeller motor 11 is opposite to that of the propeller motor in the same compartment, and the installation principle is the same. The difference is that the motor fixing plate 9 to which the rolling propeller motor 11 is fixed is fixed near the bottom wall of the double-motor compartment. The power shaft 14 for receiving the rolling propeller 8 passes through the bottom wall of the double-motor compartment and is also sealed with the bottom wall of the double-motor compartment through the oil seal 17. The power shaft 14 is fixed to the center of the rolling propeller fixing block 8a on the same side by a key, and the center of the rolling propeller fixing block 8a on the other side is fixed to the side wall of the water passage through a short shaft and a bearing.

[0043] Place the pool robot on the pool surface. The buoyancy generated by floating objects makes the pool robot float on the water surface. The left power propeller and the right power propeller are installed at the centers on both sides of the robot. The diameter of the power propeller is larger than that of the commonly used propellers in the market. The power propeller paddles the water, generating a greater moment on the water. Therefore, a greater moment can be generated at a lower speed of the propeller to push the robot to move forward. For turning, the left and right power propellers rotate in the opposite direction, so that zero-radius turning can be achieved. At the same time, the reaction speed is much greater than that of the propellers used in the market. It can move faster and turn more flexibly under the same power. The rolling propeller rotates to collect floating garbage, which can improve the efficiency of the robot's autonomous work, shorten the working time for the same workload, and make the walking trajectory more accurate.

[0044] The above is only a preferred and feasible embodiment of the present utility model, which shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present utility model. It is not intended to limit the scope of patent protection of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not restricted by the above embodiments.
