Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cleaning equipment and relates to a storage device for a water surface cleaning robot. Background Art

[0002] After a period of use, outdoor swimming pools and pools tend to accumulate debris such as fallen leaves and fruit peels. These debris floats on the water surface, polluting the water quality and diminishing the aesthetics of the pools and pools. Therefore, these pools require regular cleaning. To reduce the cost of manual pool cleaning, a surface cleaning robot is now available on the market. This robot floats and slides freely on the water surface, collecting the debris it passes through in a storage basket inside. After cleaning is complete, the basket is removed from the robot and the debris is cleaned, significantly improving the convenience of pool surface cleaning.

[0003] However, the storage basket of the water surface cleaning robot in the prior art still has some shortcomings. The storage basket in the prior art adopts a structure with an open top. When garbage is collected into the storage basket from one side, the garbage inside is easily flushed out from the other side under the flushing of the water flow, which reduces the efficiency of the robot in cleaning the water surface. In addition, the storage basket in the prior art can only collect garbage on the water surface and has a relatively simple function. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to address the problems existing in the existing technology and propose a storage device for a water surface cleaning robot. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: how to prevent garbage from running out of the storage basket.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A storage device for a water surface cleaning robot, comprising a robot body, a detachable storage basket provided inside the robot body, the storage basket consisting of a frame and a frame cover, the top of the frame is provided with an opening, the top of both sides of the frame are provided with pin holes, corresponding pin shafts are provided on both sides of the frame cover, the pin shafts are inserted into the pin holes to make the frame and the frame cover hingedly connected, a buckle is provided on the side of the frame cover away from the pin shaft, the buckle can be flipped to connect with the frame cover, and a slot for engaging with the buckle is provided on the side wall of the frame.

[0006] In this solution, a frame cover is installed on the top of the frame, and the frame cover is rotatably connected to the front end of the frame via a pin. When using the storage basket, the frame cover is flipped over to cover the opening at the top of the frame, and then the buckle on the frame cover is buckled into the slot at the rear end of the frame to fix the frame cover to the frame. Garbage entering the interior of the frame from the front end will be blocked by the frame cover at the rear end and cannot escape from the storage basket. When it is necessary to remove the garbage inside the frame, the buckle is rotated out from the slot, and then the frame cover is rotated open along the pin to conveniently open the opening at the top of the frame, and the collected garbage is removed from the interior of the frame to complete the cleaning of the pool water surface.

[0007] In the storage device of the water surface cleaning robot, a chlorine tablet compartment is provided at the bottom of the frame, and a knob cover is provided on the top of the compartment for sealing the chlorine tablet compartment. The knob cover is snap-connected to the frame. The chlorine tablet compartment is used to store chlorine tablets and other items that can clean the water. The knob cover on the top of the chlorine tablet compartment prevents the chlorine tablets from escaping, and the chlorine tablet compartment can be opened by rotating to replace the chlorine tablets. During the robot's movement, the chlorine tablets slowly dissolve into the water from the bottom of the frame, sterilizing and bleaching the water in the pool, improving the water quality and giving the water surface cleaning robot more diverse functions.

[0008] In the aforementioned storage device for a water surface cleaning robot, both sides of one end of the frame are inclined toward the bottom, the pin hole is located on one side near the inclined portion, and the frame cover covers the opening at the top of the frame, forming an upwardly slanted entrance to the storage basket. The opening is located at the front end of the storage basket, allowing garbage to enter the storage basket.

[0009] In the above-mentioned storage device of the water surface cleaning robot, a handle is provided at the bottom of one side of the frame, and the handle is provided at the bottom of the inlet. The storage basket is detachably mounted inside the robot body, and the handle allows the storage basket to be more conveniently pulled out of the robot body.

[0010] In the above-mentioned storage device of the water surface cleaning robot, a rotatable roller brush is provided at the front end of the robot body, and the roller brush is located directly above the inlet. During the rotation process, the roller brush pushes the garbage passing by into the storage basket, making the robot body have a stronger cleaning ability.

[0011] In the above-mentioned storage device for the water surface cleaning robot, through holes are provided on the frame cover, the bottom surface and the side walls of the frame. Since the robot body is used on the water surface, the through holes provided in the above structure allow water to flow through the storage basket, reducing the resistance of the robot body when traveling on the water surface.

[0012] In the storage device for the water surface cleaning robot, the slot is provided with a downwardly protruding non-return portion, the buckle is provided with a clamping portion that abuts against the non-return portion, and the bottom of the buckle is provided with an integrally connected retractor. Under the action of external pressure, the buckle moves the clamping portion inwardly past the non-return portion, causing the clamping portion to abut against the non-return portion, thereby achieving a clamping connection between the buckle and the slot. When the frame cover needs to be opened, the retractor on the buckle is pulled, causing the clamping portion to move outward past the non-return portion, thereby rotating the frame cover open.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. In this solution, a flip-up frame cover is installed on the top of the frame, and the end of the frame cover away from the pin is snapped into the frame through a buckle. When the garbage enters the frame from the front end where the pin is located, it moves to the rear end of the frame under the flushing of the water flow and is blocked by the top frame cover. It cannot escape from the inside of the frame, and the frame cover can be flipped open to conveniently clean the inside of the storage basket.

[0015] 2. In this solution, a chlorine tablet compartment is located within the frame for storing chlorine tablets and other items that can help clean the water. As the robot moves, the chlorine tablets slowly dissolve into the water from the bottom of the frame, sterilizing and bleaching the water in the pool, improving water quality. This gives the water surface cleaning robot more diverse functions and solves the technical problem of the storage basket being relatively limited in function in existing technologies.
