Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment, in particular to a pool cleaning robot. Background Art

[0002] With people paying more and more attention to health, swimming, as a very good fitness exercise method, is popular among young people. For this reason, more and more swimming pools have been built. However, due to the large water storage in the swimming pool, if the water is often replaced, the cost is too high. Therefore, people often use the sedimentation method to treat impurities. This method makes the impurities form sediment and accumulate at the bottom of the swimming pool. Subsequently, manual or machine cleaning of the sediment at the bottom of the swimming pool is required. For this reason, pool cleaning robots have been created. Traditional pool cleaning robots greatly save labor costs. The debris sediment in the places they pass through is well cleaned, and the pool cleaning robots can perform continuous operations in the swimming pool.

[0003] Pool cleaning robots mainly work by a water pump to suck water from the bottom and also suck in the sundries and sediment at the bottom of the pool. A filter screen is arranged inside the machine, and after being filtered by the filter screen, it is discharged from the water outlet.

[0004] However, the existing pool cleaning robots are provided with a rotary brush. The rotary brush rotates to roll the garbage into the pool cleaning robot. The rotary brush of the pool cleaning robot only rotates in one direction, that is, a single direction of rotation. In this way, the area where the pool cleaning robot cleans the garbage on the bottom surface of the pool is only the length of the rotary brush. In the case of a large amount of garbage, the garbage will run to both sides, and the cleaning of the bottom surface of the pool is not very complete, resulting in the phenomenon that it needs to be cleaned many times to be clean, greatly reducing the cleaning effect of the pool cleaning robot and being unfavorable to the user experience.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the body 10 of the pool cleaning robot 100 can be made of plastic. Plastic has the advantage of high ductility, which is beneficial to the design and molding of the body 10 and is beneficial to the mass production of the pool cleaning robot 100. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the body 10 of the pool cleaning robot 100 can also be made of other materials, which can be specifically designed according to actual situations and are not limited herein.

[0044] Further, a sealed cabin is provided inside the body 10. The driving device is located inside the sealed cabin, and the part of the driving device exposed from the sealed cabin is also hermetically and movably arranged. Since the driving device is used to drive the side brush 20 to rotate, the driving device belongs to an electronic component. Through the arrangement of the sealed cabin, water can be prevented from entering the inside of the driving device, which may cause damage to the driving device, and it is beneficial to extend the service life of the pool cleaning robot 100.

[0045] Specifically, the side brush 20 and the driving device can be connected magnetically or by means of a buckle, and can be designed according to the actual situation, which is not limited herein.

[0046] Further, the number of side brushes 20 is two, and the driving device includes:

[0047] A first driving member;

[0048] A first rotating shaft, the first rotating shaft is drivingly connected to the first driving member. The first driving member is located inside the body 10, and at least part of the first rotating shaft is exposed from the body 10 and is drivingly connected to one of the two side brushes 20. The first driving member is used to drive the first rotating shaft to rotate so as to drive one of the two side brushes 20 to rotate.

[0059] In this embodiment, through the arrangement of the drive motor and the gear set, the drive motor drives the gear set to rotate. Since the gear set is engaged with the two rotating members, when the gear set rotates, it can drive the two rotating members to rotate simultaneously, thereby driving the two side brushes 20 connected to the rotating members to rotate. That is to say, in this embodiment, only one drive motor is needed to realize the rotation of the two side brushes 20, reducing the use of one drive motor and lowering the manufacturing cost of the entire pool cleaning robot 100, which is beneficial to the mass production of the pool cleaning robot 100.

[0060] Wherein, the gear set is composed of a plurality of gears engaged with each other. Such an arrangement can, on the one hand, drive the two side brushes 20 to rotate by one drive motor, and on the other hand, can also weaken the rotation speed of the drive motor, thereby reducing the rotation speed of the side brush 20, which is beneficial to controlling the rotation speed of the side brush 20.

[0061] Furthermore, the rotation directions of the two side brushes 20 are opposite.

[0062] Such an arrangement can gather the garbage at the front ends of the two side brushes 20 together, which is beneficial to the pool cleaning robot 100 to collect the garbage.

[0063] Furthermore, the exposed part of the drive device is provided with an oil seal with the body 10.

[0064] It can be understood that in other embodiments, other methods can also be used to achieve the movable seal between the exposed part of the drive device and the body 10, which can be specifically designed according to the actual situation and is not limited herein.

[0065] Furthermore, a dust inlet 30 is provided on the body 10, the two side brushes 20 are arranged close to the dust inlet 30, and the two side brushes 20 are respectively located on both sides of the dust inlet 30.

The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0067] Furthermore, the dust inlet 30 is strip-shaped.

[0068] By setting the dust inlet 30 to be strip-shaped, it is beneficial to increase the area for collecting garbage at the dust inlet 30 and avoid the situation where the garbage cannot be thoroughly cleaned due to the dust inlet 30 being too small.

[0069] Of course, in other embodiments, the shape of the dust inlet 30 can also be other shapes, such as a runway shape, an arc shape, etc., which can be specifically designed according to the actual situation and are not limited herein.

[0070] Furthermore, a scraping strip 40 is provided on the body 10, and the scraping strip 40 and the side brush 20 are respectively located on both sides of the dust inlet 30.

[0071] By providing the scraping strip 40, when the pool cleaning robot 100 is cleaning garbage, it can avoid the situation where the garbage is not cleaned up thoroughly and then a large amount of garbage is left. The scraping strip 40 can block the garbage that has not entered the dust inlet 30 to the vicinity of the dust inlet 30 until all the garbage enters the dust inlet 30, improving the cleaning effect of the pool cleaning robot 100.

[0072] Specifically, the scraping strip 40 is arranged close to the dust inlet 30.

[0073] Furthermore, the length of the scraping strip 40 is greater than the length of the dust inlet 30.

[0074] In this way, the area for the scraping strip 40 to block the garbage can be increased, and further, the cleaning effect of the pool cleaning robot 100 is improved.

[0075] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention and should all be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
