[0045] In one embodiment of the present application, the auxiliary switch 3 is a touch button, which controls the walking mechanism 2 to start when touched and controls the walking mechanism 2 to stop when not touched.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, the touch button may generate a control signal based on detection by a light sensor and / or a pressure sensor to control the operation of the walking mechanism 2 .

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, by setting the auxiliary switch 3 as a touch button, the user can easily determine whether the walking mechanism 2 is started based on the touch position, thereby improving the convenience of controlling the walking mechanism 2 and improving the convenience of water discharge of the pool cleaning equipment.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present application, the auxiliary switch 3 is a timing button. After receiving a button signal, the walking mechanism 2 starts for a preset time and then turns off.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present application, the timing button can be a toggle structure that automatically rebounds from the position corresponding to the opening of the walking mechanism 2 to the position corresponding to the closing of the walking mechanism 2; the timing button can also be a touch button that no longer detects touch signals in the subsequent time period after being touched for the first time, thereby realizing the closing of the timing button.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present application, the auxiliary switch 3 is set as a timing button, thereby improving the automation of opening and closing of the walking mechanism 2, thereby improving the control intelligence of the pool cleaning equipment and improving the convenience of water discharge of the pool cleaning equipment.

[0060] The following describes the working principle of the pool cleaning device provided in the embodiment of the present application:

[0061] The user uses the handle 1 to pull the pool cleaning device out of the water. During the upward pulling period, the auxiliary switch 3 can be used to control the operation of the walking mechanism 2, thereby providing an upward driving force for the pool cleaning device. With the assistance of the walking mechanism 2, the force required to lift the pool cleaning device is smaller, thereby saving the user the pulling force required to lift the pool cleaning device; at the same time, during the upward pulling period, the water outlet sensor can also detect that the pool cleaning device is in the water outlet state, and automatically control the walking mechanism to start.
