Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As people pay more and more attention to health, swimming has been sought after by young people as a very good form of fitness exercise. For this reason, more and more swimming pools have been built. However, due to the large water storage capacity in the swimming pool, the cost of frequent replacement is too high. Therefore, people often use sedimentation to deal with impurities. This method causes impurities to form sediments 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, swimming pool cleaning robots were created. Traditional swimming pool cleaning robots greatly save labor costs. The debris and sediment where they pass are well cleaned, and the swimming pool cleaning robots can perform continuous operations in the swimming pool.

[0003] The swimming pool cleaning robot mainly works by pumping water to suck in water from the bottom, and also sucks in debris and sand at the bottom of the pool. A filter is installed inside the machine, and the water is filtered and discharged from the outlet.

[0004] However, existing swimming pool cleaning robots do not have the ability to clean the water surface and the bottom at the same time, and only have the ability to clean separately, which greatly affects the cleaning efficiency of the swimming pool cleaning robot and is not conducive to user use. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a swimming pool cleaning robot to address the above technical problems and solve the problem that the swimming pool cleaning robots in the prior art have relatively single functions.

[0006] A swimming pool cleaning robot, comprising:

[0007] A body, wherein a floating chamber is provided in the body, the floating chamber is detachably connected to the body, and the floating chamber is used to adjust the overall weight of the body to control the body to sink to the bottom of the pool or float on the surface of the pool;

When the driving member extracts air from the floating chamber, a vacuum state will appear in the floating chamber. In this way, the water in the pool will enter the inside of the floating chamber, so as to increase the overall weight of the swimming pool cleaning robot, so that the swimming pool cleaning robot can sink to the bottom of the swimming pool. With this arrangement, the swimming pool cleaning robot can float on the surface of the swimming pool to clean the surface of the swimming pool, and can also sink to the bottom of the swimming pool to clean the bottom of the swimming pool, so that the swimming pool cleaning robot has the dual cleaning functions of the pool surface and the bottom of the water, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the swimming pool cleaning robot and facilitating user use.

[0029] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 A swimming pool cleaning robot 100 is provided. The swimming pool cleaning robot 100 includes:

[0030] The body 10 includes a floating chamber 20 disposed therein. The floating chamber 20 is detachably connected to the body 10 and is used to adjust the overall weight of the body 10 to control the body 10 to sink to the bottom of the pool or float on the surface of the pool.

[0031] The floating assembly 30 is connected to the body 10 and includes a connecting line 302 and a float 301. An air tube is provided in the connecting line 302, and an air port is provided on the float 301. One end of the air tube is connected to the air port. When the connecting line 302 is installed in the body 10, the other end of the air tube is connected to the floating chamber 20.

[0032] A driving member (not shown) is used to apply airflow to the air pipe, evacuate the gas in the floating chamber 20 to make the floating chamber 20 in a negative pressure state, so that external water can automatically flow into the floating chamber 20, or apply gas to the floating chamber 20 to discharge the water in the floating chamber 20 to the outside of the floating chamber 20.

[0033] The swimming pool cleaning robot 100 of the present invention is provided with a floating chamber 20, a floating assembly 30 and a driving member. The floating member includes an air pipe. The floating chamber 20 is connected to the external air through the air pipe and the float ball 301. Through the operation of the driving member, air can be added to the floating chamber 20 through the air pipe or the air in the floating chamber 20 can be discharged to the outside of the float ball 301. When the driving member adds air to the floating chamber 20, the water in the floating chamber 20 will be discharged to the outside of the floating chamber 20 under the pressure of the air, so as to reduce the overall weight of the swimming pool cleaning robot 100, thereby enabling the swimming pool cleaning robot 100 to float on the surface of the swimming pool. When the movable part extracts air from the float 20, a vacuum state will appear in the float 20. In this way, the water in the pool will enter the float 20 to increase the overall weight of the pool cleaning robot 100, so that the pool cleaning robot 100 can sink to the bottom of the pool. With this arrangement, the pool cleaning robot 100 can float on the surface of the pool to clean the pool surface, and can also sink to the bottom of the pool to clean the pool bottom, thereby enabling the pool cleaning robot 100 to have the dual cleaning functions of the pool surface and the bottom of the water, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the pool cleaning robot 100 and facilitating use by users.

[0034] Furthermore, the body 10 is made of plastic, which has the advantage of strong plasticity, which is beneficial to the design of the body 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the body 10 can also be made of other materials, and the specific design can be based on actual conditions, which is not limited here.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present invention, the floating bin 20 is located in the body 10 and is integrated with the body 10. Therefore, the weight of the floating bin 20 directly affects the overall weight of the pool cleaning robot 100. By draining the water in the floating bin 20 to reduce the overall weight of the pool cleaning robot 100, the pool cleaning robot 100 floats on the surface of the pool, thereby enabling the pool cleaning robot 100 to clean the pool surface. Alternatively, by adding water to the floating bin 20 to increase the overall weight of the pool cleaning robot 100, the pool cleaning robot 100 sinks to the bottom of the pool, thereby enabling the pool cleaning robot 100 to clean the bottom of the pool. The operation is relatively simple and easy to implement.

[0036] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, the floating bin 20 is connected to the external air through the connecting line 302 of the floating component 30, and then the driving component is used to supply air to the floating bin 20 or to vacuum the floating bin 20. This arrangement is used to control the outflow or inflow of water in the floating bin 20. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0037] It should be noted that when the floating bin 20 is full of water, the floating bin 20 acts as a counterweight, thereby enabling the pool cleaning robot 100 to sink and reach the bottom of the swimming pool. When there is no water in the floating bin 20, it can drive the pool cleaning robot 100 to float to the surface of the swimming pool.

[0038] Specifically, the floating bin 20 is made of plastic. As can be seen from the above, plastic has strong plasticity and is light in weight, which is conducive to the styling design of the floating bin 20. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the floating bin 20 can also be made of other materials, which can be considered according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0039] Furthermore, the floating assembly 30 is detachably connected to the body 10 .

[0040] As can be seen from the above, the pool cleaning robot 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is equipped with a floating assembly 30, which includes a float 301 and a connecting line 302. When the pool cleaning robot 100 is working, the float 301 floats on the water surface, and the pool cleaning robot 100 cleans underwater. When the pool cleaning robot 100 is cleaning the water surface, the connecting line 302 is likely to float on the water surface. In such a case, it is easy to affect the cleaning of the pool surface by the pool cleaning robot 100. For example, the connecting line 302 is entangled in the interior of the pool cleaning robot 100. The floating assembly 30 is detachably connected to the body 10. With this arrangement, when the pool cleaning robot 100 is cleaning the water surface, the floating assembly 30 can be removed from the pool cleaning robot 100 to avoid the above situation.

[0041] The specific detachable connection can be a removable connection.

[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, a mounting portion 303 is provided at one end of the connecting line 302 away from the float 301 , and a mounting groove 40 is provided on the body 10 , and the mounting portion 303 is engaged with the mounting groove 40 to connect the connecting line 302 to the body 10 .

[0043] The installation portion 303 and the installation groove 40 facilitate the connection between the floating assembly 30 and the body 10 , and the structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0044] Furthermore, an O-ring is provided on the mounting portion 303 , and the floating assembly 30 is sealedly connected to the body 10 via the O-ring.

[0045] By providing the O-ring, when the floating assembly 30 is installed on the body 10 , the connecting line 302 and the body 10 can be waterproofed, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the pool cleaning robot 100 .

[0046] Among them, the number of O-rings is two.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of O-rings may be other numbers, which can be designed according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0048] Furthermore, the driving element is a peristaltic pump.

[0049] Specifically, the advantages of peristaltic pumps include no pollution, high precision, low shear force, good sealing, simple maintenance, bidirectional delivery, adaptability to idling and dry running, self-priming ability, corrosion resistance and a wide range of applications.

[0050] No pollution: The fluid only contacts the pump tube and does not contact other parts inside the pump body. It is suitable for handling media that are easily contaminated, such as liquid transportation in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

[0051] High precision: high repeatability and stability, suitable for applications requiring precise metering. Accurate metering and control can be achieved by adjusting the speed and frequency of the pump.

[0052] Low shear force: Suitable for conveying shear-sensitive and highly corrosive fluids without damaging solid matter in the fluid.

[0053] Good sealing: It has good self-priming ability and anti-backflow function, without valves and other seals, reducing leakage and maintenance problems.

[0054] Simple maintenance: Except the pump tube, there are no other parts that require special maintenance, and the pump tube can be replaced easily.

[0055] Bidirectional conveying: forward and reverse flow can be achieved to meet the needs of specific process.

[0056] Adaptable to idling and dry operation: it can operate without liquid, and can also transport air or gas-liquid-solid three-phase mixture.

[0057] Self-priming capability: It can self-prime and transfer liquids without priming and emptying the pump.

[0058] Corrosion resistance: Pump tubes made of corrosion-resistant materials can be selected, which are suitable for conveying corrosive liquids.

[0059] Wide range of applications: It can replace pump tubes of different materials and is suitable for a variety of industries and media.

[0060] Therefore, a peristaltic pump is a better choice for the driving member. Of course, in other embodiments, other driving devices can also be used. The specific design can be based on actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0061] Furthermore, the number of the peristaltic pumps is two.

[0062] The provision of two peristaltic pumps can improve the efficiency of gas delivery, which is conducive to achieving rapid water inflow or water outflow of the floating chamber 20.

[0063] In other embodiments, the number of peristaltic pumps may be other numbers, which can be considered based on actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0064] Furthermore, the pool cleaning robot 100 includes running wheels, which are used to drive the pool cleaning robot 100 to move.

[0065] By providing the running wheels, the body 10 can be driven to move on the bottom of the swimming pool, so that the swimming pool cleaning robot 100 can clean a large area, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the swimming pool cleaning robot 100.

[0066] Furthermore, the number of the running wheels is four.

[0067] Such a configuration can improve the stability of the body 10 and prevent the body 10 from tipping over.

[0068] It is understandable that, in other embodiments, the swimming pool cleaning robot 100 may also be provided with three running wheels, which may be specifically provided according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0069] Furthermore, the pool cleaning robot 100 includes a scraper bar, which is disposed at the bottom of the pool cleaning robot 100 .

[0070] The scraping bar can scrape up dirt on the bottom of the swimming pool, making it easier for the swimming pool cleaning robot 100 to clean it, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the swimming pool cleaning robot 100.

[0071] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. These modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention, and should all be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
