DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The drawings in this utility model are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. To better illustrate the following embodiments, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced in size, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the products. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted from the drawings.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a surface communication device for use in a swimming pool 200. The surface communication device body 100 is fixed to the inner wall 202 of the pool 200 and placed on the water surface within the pool 200. During use, it is fixed to the inner wall of the pool. The surface communication device enables signal connection and transmission between underwater equipment in the pool 200 and equipment on the surface or on land.

[0037] The body 100 is provided with a hollow inner cavity. When in use, the upper end of the body 100 is located above the horizontal surface 210 of the swimming pool or below the horizontal surface 210 .

[0038] The fixing seat 300 is connected to the main body 100 and fixedly connected to at least one of the shore surface 201, the inner wall surface 202, and the inner bottom surface 203 of the swimming pool 200.

[0039] In one embodiment, after the fixing base 300 and the main body 100 are connected to each other, the fixing base 300 is then fixed on the inner wall surface 202 ; alternatively, the main body 100 is then fixed on the inner wall surface 202 .

[0040] In one embodiment, after the fixing base 300 and the body 100 are connected to each other, the fixing base 300 is then fixed to the shore surface 201; alternatively, the body 100 is further fixed to the shore surface 201. Because the shore surface 201 is not in contact with the water in the swimming pool 200, when the fixing base 300 is again fixed to the shore surface 201, the body 100 can extend the flexible member to the horizontal surface 210 in the swimming pool 200, thereby achieving the same technical effect.

[0041] In one embodiment, after the fixing seat 300 and the main body 100 are connected to each other, the fixing seat 300 is then fixed on the inner bottom surface 203; or, the main body 100 is then fixed on the inner bottom surface 203, and the main body 100 extends to the horizontal surface 210 in the swimming pool 200 by extending the flexible member.

[0042] In one embodiment, after the fixing base 300 and the main body 100 are connected to each other, the fixing base 300 or the main body 100 is simultaneously fixed to the shore surface 201 and the inner wall surface 202. Because two different planes are involved, one of the planes can be fixed using an extended flexible material. Specifically, a suction cup is provided on the back of the fixing base 300, and a flexible connector 111 is provided on the top of the fixing base 300. The suction cup is fixed to the inner wall surface 202, and the flexible connector 111 extends to the shore surface 201 for fixing. In this embodiment, if the suction cup falls, the flexible connector 111 can further fix the fixing base 300, achieving a more stable effect.

[0043] A main control circuit 310 is provided in the inner cavity, and the main control circuit 310 is connected to a first communication module and a second communication module. The first communication module is used to wirelessly communicate with the device on the horizontal plane 210, and the second communication module is used to wirelessly communicate with the device below the horizontal plane 210.

[0044] The main control circuit 310 further includes a power supply 311 , which provides electrical energy during operation. The power supply 311 is a dry cell, a button cell, or other forms of storage battery.

[0045] Since the main body 100 is above or below the horizontal surface 210 of the swimming pool, its communication is not affected by the underwater environment, so it can directly communicate with the surface of the water, such as: real-time communication with the user terminal, real-time communication with WIFI, real-time communication with Bluetooth, real-time communication with mobile phones or other electronic products, handheld remote controls, wireless remote control devices, etc.

[0046] In this embodiment, it is mainly used for a handheld remote control or a mobile phone to transmit signals to the underwater swimming pool robot 200.

[0047] In one embodiment, when in use, the upper end of the body 100 at least partially floats on the horizontal plane 210. When the upper end partially floats on the horizontal plane 210, the communication effect is better.

[0048] The equipment on the water surface is a wireless remote control device, specifically a handheld remote control. The handheld remote control is also provided with a fourth communication module, which can be wirelessly paired with the first communication module or the second communication module to achieve wireless communication transmission.

[0049] The body 100 includes an upper shell and a lower shell. The upper shell and the lower shell are detachably connected, and a seal is provided between the upper shell and the lower shell.

[0050] The detachable connection is a threaded connection or a snap-fit connection; the sealing member is a silicone sealing ring. The sealing member can be provided with one layer or two layers of silicone sealing rings, which can effectively improve the sealing effect.

[0051] A first magnetic member 301 is provided inside the body 100 or on the inner surface of the inner cavity, and a second magnetic member is provided at the connection between the fixing base 300 and the body 100 .

[0052] When the above-mentioned magnetic component is implemented, the first magnetic component 301 can be set on the inner surface of the inner cavity, tightly attached to the inner surface of the inner cavity, or a groove can be set on the inner surface of the inner cavity, and the first magnetic component 301 can be fixed in the groove, which is convenient for installation and replacement.

[0053] In another embodiment, the first magnetic member 301 is fixed in the body 100 or the fixing base 300 during injection molding, so that the first magnetic member 301 forms an integral structure with the body 100 or the fixing base 300 .

[0054] The first magnetic member 301 is a permanent magnet or a metal member, and the second magnetic member is a metal member or a permanent magnet that generates a magnetic field attraction with the first magnetic member 301 .

[0055] In a specific implementation, the magnetic member can be provided on both the body 100 and the fixing base 300, so that the body 100 is fixed to the fixing base 300 by magnetic attraction. Alternatively, the magnetic member can be provided on one of the body 100 and the fixing base 300, and a corresponding metal member can be provided on the other. The body 100 can also be fixed to the fixing base 300 by the attraction between the magnetic member and the metal member. In this embodiment, the same effect is achieved.

[0056] A flexible connector 111 is connected between the main body 100 and the fixing base 300. The flexible connector 111 is made of nylon rope, plastic rope, flexible metal wire, cotton rope, silicone connecting belt or similar materials.

[0057] In this embodiment, the flexible material can be used to secure the body 100 and the fixing base 300, and can also be used to secure the body 100 and the shore surface 201, inner wall 202, and inner bottom 203, as well as the fixing base 300 and the shore surface 201, inner wall 202, and inner bottom 203. All of these provide the same technical effect.

[0058] A limit stop is provided between the main body 100 and the fixing base 300. The limit stop is mainly used to clamp the main body 100 between the fixing base 300 to prevent the main body 100 from being washed away by water waves, making it difficult for the main body 100 to fall off, thereby increasing the stability of the utility model.

[0059] The outer surface of the main body 100 is arc-shaped or curved, and the fixing seat 300 is provided with a recessed portion that cooperates with the outer surface of the main body 100 .

[0060] The arc-shaped or curved body increases the contact area between the fixing base 300 and the main body 100, making the connection more secure.

[0061] The fixing seat 300 is further provided with a fixing piece.

[0062] Furthermore, the fixing part is at least one of a fixing lock, a fixing hanger, a fixing hole 302, a fixing bolt, a fixing rope, a fixing suction cup, and a fixing vacuum pad.

[0063] In this embodiment, the fixing member is specifically a fixing hole 302, which can fix the fixing base 300 to the bottom or wall of the pool, or to a floating object on the water surface (such as a skimmer, etc.).

[0064] In one embodiment, an opening 110 is further provided at the lower portion of the body 100 , and the opening 110 is filled with sealant.

[0065] This embodiment also includes a swimming pool robot. A filtering device is provided inside the swimming pool robot body (not shown in the figure), a water inlet connected to the filtering device is provided at the bottom of the swimming pool robot body, and a water outlet is provided on the side and / or top of the swimming pool robot body.

[0066] A third communication module is also provided inside the swimming pool robot body (not shown in the figure), and the third communication module can communicate with the first communication module and / or the second communication module in the above-mentioned water surface communication device for swimming pools.

[0067] This embodiment provides a surface communication device and pool robot for use in swimming pools. This device enables real-time communication between a surface remote control and an underwater robot while also preventing interference from the wireless repeater when it floats freely on the water surface. Furthermore, the device, through a mounting base 300, can be fixedly positioned to float on the water surface or below the horizontal plane 210, further facilitating signal transmission. This device addresses the difficulties experienced by existing pool robots with underwater communication, while also resolving issues such as the floating, unstable nature of the communication repeater on the water surface. The device is therefore convenient to use and suitable for widespread use.

[0068] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the specific implementation methods of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the claims of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
