Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent cleaning equipment, and particularly relates to a pool robot. Background Art
[0002] In the field of pool cleaning, in recent years, as a professional cleaning device, pool robots have been gradually favored by users and their importance has become increasingly prominent. Especially in some private pools, public pools and other fields, such pool robots can save labor costs and perform repetitive daily cyclic work. Therefore, they have gradually become the preferred robots in pool cleaning.
[0003] However, in existing pool robots, after the work is completed, they generally just stay at the bottom of the pool waiting for the user to fish them out. And due to different working areas and working durations of the pool robots, sometimes users are not clear about the final position where the pool robot stays. If the staying position is far from the shore, users need to use a pole to fish it out or even need to get into the water to fish it out, which brings great trouble to the users.
[0004] Thus, there have been various ideas for optimizing pool robots recently. However, since pool robots work underwater and the usage environments of pools are different, the depths of pool robots underwater are different, and the shapes of the pools themselves are different, etc.; when ordinary signals want to send commands to them directly from the shore, they are affected by water waves, water refraction, etc., and it is difficult to control or transmit signals.
[0005] Therefore, how to achieve the signal transmission between the pool robot and the shore is a technical problem that the industry urgently needs to solve. Summary of the Utility Model
[0006] The utility model aims to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art and provides a pool robot for solving the problems that existing pool robots cannot transmit signals with the shore and that pool robots can better identify approaching the shore, etc.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is to provide a pool robot, including:
[0008] It includes a pool robot body. A filtering device is arranged inside the pool robot body. An inlet is arranged at the bottom of the pool robot body and is communicated with the filtering device. An outlet is arranged at the side part and / or upper part of the pool robot body.
[0009] During work, the turbid water in the pool is sucked in from the inlet, flows through the filtering device, and the filtering device filters the turbid water. Then the filtered water is discharged outwards from the outlet to realize the cleaning of the pool robot.
[0010] The pool robot body is provided with a first wireless device, and a second wireless device is arranged on the water surface. The first wireless device is communicatively connected to the second wireless device. The second wireless device is a laser transceiver, and the first wireless device is a laser transceiver or / and a photosensitive element.
[0011] Through the communicative connection between the first wireless device and the second wireless device, the devices on the water surface can directly control the pool robot.
[0012] Both the photosensitive element and the laser receiver belong to optoelectronic components. However, for the laser receiver, the accuracy of parameters such as the position and angle of the laser receiver needs to be ensured. Therefore, in actual applications, the position, angle, and other parameters of the laser beam emitted by the user on the shore are variable. So, the photosensitive element as the receiver is preferred in this embodiment.
[0013] But when receiving at a fixed angle and fixed position, such as obstacle recognition, wall - leaning recognition, etc., the receiving position and angle are basically fixed in this scenario, and then a laser receiver can be used. As Figure 1 shown, the pool wall 4 is the wall body for wall - leaning recognition.
[0014] In some embodiments, a laser receiver and a photosensitive element receiver can be used simultaneously. It can receive both the laser beam signals sent from the shore and the fixed laser beam signals sent when crossing obstacles or approaching the shore.
[0015] Therefore, the above - mentioned first wireless device can be a laser transceiver or a photosensitive element. In this embodiment, the photosensitive element is preferably a photoresistor. The laser transceiver can receive the laser signals emitted by the second wireless device, and the photoresistor can also receive the laser signals emitted by the wireless device.
[0016] A wireless remote control device is arranged on the water surface, and the first wireless device or the second wireless device is arranged inside the wireless remote control device. The user can hold the wireless remote control device to control the underwater pool robot in any area on the shore.
[0017] The laser transceiver in the first wireless device or / and the second wireless device is one of red - green laser, red - blue laser, blue - green laser, blue laser, or green laser.
[0018] When the laser transceiver is a blue - green laser, its communication uses a blue - green light beam with a light wave wavelength of 450 - 570 nanometers.
[0019] An optical lens is further arranged at the front end of the laser transceiver in the first wireless device or / and the second wireless device, and the optical lens is a filter lens.
[0020] The optical lens provided at the front end of the laser transceiver in the first wireless device or / and the second wireless device is a light diffusing plate.
[0021] The laser transceiver in the first wireless device or / and the second wireless device is an LED transceiver.
[0022] Through the optical lens, the laser of the LED can be converted into dot light, making the light source and the light beam more concentrated.
[0023] The laser transceiver in the first wireless device or / and the second wireless device is arranged in front of or / and on the side of or / and above the pool robot.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0025] A pool robot provided by the present utility model is provided with a laser transceiver device above or in front of the pool robot. It can measure the distance in front through the laser, and at the same time, it can also receive the laser signal sent by the device on the water surface, so as to realize the signal transmission or control between the water surface and underwater.

[0029] The drawings of the present utility model are only for illustrative purposes and cannot be construed as a limitation of the present utility model. For better illustrating the following embodiments, some components in the drawings will be omitted, enlarged or reduced, which do not represent the dimensions of the actual product; for those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted.
[0030] Embodiment 1
[0031] As Figure 1-2 shown, this embodiment provides a pool robot, including:
[0032] Including as Figure 1The shown pool robot body 11 has a filtering device disposed inside it. An inlet is provided at the bottom of the pool robot body 11 and is in communication with the filtering device. An outlet is provided at the side or / and upper part of the pool robot body 11.
[0033] During operation, the turbid water in the pool is sucked in from the inlet, flows through the filtering device, and the filtering device filters the turbid water. Then the filtered water is discharged out from the outlet, realizing the cleaning of the pool robot.
[0034] The pool robot body 11 is provided with a first wireless device 1. A second wireless device 2 is provided on the water surface 3 or on the shore of the pool. The first wireless device 1 and the second wireless device 2 are communicatively connected to each other. The second wireless device 2 is a laser transceiver, and the first wireless device 1 is a laser transceiver or / and a photosensitive element.
[0035] Specifically in implementation, the first wireless device 1 is electrically connected to the storage battery and the main control circuit inside the pool robot body 11, and they provide corresponding electrical energy to the first wireless device 1 to realize its daily operation.
[0036] By the communicative connection between the first wireless device 1 and the second wireless device 2, the device on the water surface 3 can directly control the pool robot.
[0037] The first wireless device 1 can be a laser transceiver or a photosensitive element. In the present utility model, the photosensitive element is preferably a photosensitive resistor. The laser transceiver can receive the laser signal emitted by the second wireless device 2, and the photosensitive resistor can also receive the laser signal emitted by the wireless device.
[0038] A wireless remote control device is provided on the water surface 3, and the first wireless device 1 or the second wireless device 2 is disposed inside the wireless remote control device. The user can hold the wireless remote control device to control the underwater pool robot in any area on the shore.
[0039] The wireless remote control device (the structure of the wireless remote control device is not shown in the figure) includes a hollow cavity, and the cavity houses the second wireless device 2, and also houses a storage battery, a main control circuit, etc. that provide electrical energy and operation for the second wireless device 2.
[0040] However, when receiving at a fixed angle and fixed position, such as obstacle recognition, wall recognition, etc., in this scenario, the receiving position and angle are basically fixed. At this time, a laser receiver can be used. For example Figure 2As shown, the pool wall 4 is the wall body for wall recognition. The first wireless device 1 emits a laser beam towards the pool wall 4, and the laser beam reflected by the pool wall 4 is received by the first wireless device 1 again, and then the distance from the pool wall 4 is judged, so as to realize wall recognition.
[0041] The laser transmitter-receiver in the first wireless device 1 or / and the second wireless device 2 is one of red-green laser, red-blue laser, blue-green laser, blue laser or green laser.
[0042] When the laser transmitter-receiver is blue-green laser, its communication uses a blue-green light beam with a light wave wavelength of 450-570 nanometers.
[0043] Blue-green light communication is a kind of laser communication, which uses a blue-green light beam with a light wave wavelength of 450-570 nanometers, between blue light and green light. Since the absorption loss of visible light in the blue-green band by the turbid pool water or seawater is extremely small, when the blue-green light passes through the pool water or seawater, it not only has strong penetration ability, but also has excellent directivity, which is one of the important ways of underwater information transmission. Therefore, the effect is particularly obvious when applied to the present utility model.
[0044] During specific implementation, the wireless remote control device on the shore sends a blue-green light laser beam to the pool robot operating underwater. When sending, different frequency laser beams are selected for different matters of the pool robot according to needs; for example: set the laser beam sending to be segmented. For example, if three induction modes are required, then the first one only sends one laser beam and then pauses; the second one sends two indirect laser beams and then pauses, and the third one sends three indirect laser beams and then pauses, and so on.
[0045] Then pair them. The first laser beam represents recall, the second laser beam represents getting close to the side, the third laser beam represents returning to the origin, and so on.
[0046] After the pool robot receives the instruction from the user on the shore, the main control of the pool robot responds to the corresponding working scenario.
[0047] An optical lens 5 is further provided at the front end of the laser transmitter-receiver in the first wireless device 1 and the second wireless device 2, and the optical lens 5 is a filter lens. The optical lens 5 can be separately provided at the front end of the laser transmitter-receiver in the first wireless device 1 and the second wireless device 2, or can be simultaneously provided at the front end of the laser transmitter-receiver in the first wireless device 1 and the second wireless device 2.
[0048] An optical lens 5 is further provided at the front end of the laser transceiver in the first wireless device 1 and the second wireless device 2, and the optical lens 5 is a light diffusing plate. The light diffusing plate can be separately provided at the front end of the laser transceiver in the first wireless device 1 and the second wireless device 2, or can be simultaneously provided at the front end of the laser transceiver in the first wireless device 1 and the second wireless device 2.
[0049] The laser transceiver in the first wireless device 1 and the second wireless device 2 is an LED transceiver.
[0050] Through the optical lens 5, the laser of the LED can be converted into dot light, making the light source and the light beam more concentrated.
[0051] The laser transceiver in the first wireless device 1 or / and the second wireless device 2 is arranged in front of and / or on the side of and / or above the pool robot.
[0052] A pool robot in this embodiment is provided with a laser transceiver device above or in front of the robot. It can measure the distance in front through the laser and can also receive the laser signal sent by the device on the water surface 3, thereby realizing the signal transmission between the water surface 3 and underwater.
