[0002] A pool cleaning machine is a machine that can clean stains and other dirt from the bottom or walls of a pool. To facilitate charging, pool cleaning machines are often equipped with charging components.

[0003] Because automatic pool cleaners operate underwater, their charging ports come into contact with water. When the automatic pool cleaner is retrieved from the water to charge, the charging components are usually quite wet. To prevent the pins and the metal sleeve of the charger plug from oxidizing and rusting during charging, which could lead to decreased charging efficiency or failure to charge, existing automatic pool cleaners are equipped with waterproof caps on their charging components.

[0004] However, even so, since automatic pool cleaners operate underwater, if the pins come into contact with water, it can easily cause short circuits or signal interference during charging. Utility Model Content

[0043] Please refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 Each cavity 7 contains only one pin 8. This ensures that each pin 8 is independent, significantly reducing the risk of short circuits or signal interference during charging and improving the safety of the charging components.

[0044] Please refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 5 and Figure 12 The cross-sectional area of ​​cavity 7 is different. This effectively prevents misalignment between the charger plug 3 and the pin part 4 during the insertion process.

[0045] Please refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9The device includes a waterproof cap 2, and a pin portion 4 with an external thread 9 on its outer circumferential wall. The inner wall of the waterproof cap 2 has an internal thread 11 that matches the external thread 9. This allows for a detachable connection between the waterproof cap 2 and the pin portion 4, making it easy to screw on the waterproof cap 2 and also easy to remove the waterproof cap 2 for charging.

[0046] Please refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The device includes a sealing ring. A groove 10 is provided on the outer wall of the pin portion 4 along its circumference. The sealing ring is fitted onto the groove 10. When the waterproof cap 2 is tightened onto the pin portion 4, the sealing ring is pressed together by the groove 12 on the inner wall of the waterproof cap 2 and the groove 10 on the outer wall of the pin portion 4. This provides a radial seal between the pin portion 4 and the waterproof cap 2, preventing moisture from entering the cavity 7 and contacting the pin 8, thus improving the safety of the charging component.

[0047] Please refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 Including plug 3, when the automatic pool cleaner is charging, the plug 3's pin 14 is inserted into the cavity 7.
