[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5The utility model provides a kind of pool base station 1 and the pool cleaning equipment applied by it.There is in the following embodiment, with the pool cleaning equipment applied by pool base station 1 and it is with two two as an example being set up transversely, longitudinally and up and down direction is crossed.The transverse and longitudinal are two directions being substantially perpendicular on the horizontal plane substantially perpendicular to up and down direction.

[0048] Specifically, the pool base station 1 provided by the utility model is used to be installed at the installation pool wall 7 of the pool, and the pool base station 1 comprises a machine body 100, a fluid driving component 200 and a filter screen 300. The machine body is formed with a first inlet 110, a first outlet 120 and a first channel 130 connecting the first inlet 110 and the first outlet 120; the fluid driving component 200 is arranged in the first channel 130 to drive the external water body to flow out from the first outlet 120 after entering the first channel 130 from the first inlet 110; the filter screen 300 is arranged in the first channel 130 and separates the first channel 130 into a pollution inlet channel section close to the first inlet 110 and a water outlet channel section close to the first outlet 120, and the filter screen 300 is used to intercept the floating pollutants carried by the water body in the pollution inlet channel section; when installed on the installation pool wall, at least part of the first inlet 110 is exposed on the liquid surface of the pool, and the included angle between the orientation of the first outlet 120 and the orientation of the first inlet 110 is not greater than 150°.

[0049] In the technical scheme provided by the utility model, at least part of the first inlet 110 is exposed on the liquid surface of the pool, so that when the fluid driving component 200 starts to operate, sufficient liquid level difference can be formed at the first inlet 110 to drive the floating pollutants to enter the first channel 130 and be intercepted by the filter screen 300 at the pollution inlet channel section; by adjusting the orientations of the first outlet 120 and the first inlet 110, the water body in the first channel 130 can form sufficient water flow pressure at the first outlet 120 and then flow outwards under the driving of the fluid driving component 200, so as to push the water around the first outlet 120 to flow towards the first inlet 110 to drive the floating pollutants, so that the cleaning of the floating pollutants can be more quickly and completely realized; in addition, since the machine body is arranged at a basically fixed area in the pool, it is helpful to realize the point transfer and cleaning of the floating pollutants on the pool, avoid the disorder disturbance of the floating pollutants on the pool due to the walking of the pool robot, and solve the problem of aggravated cleaning burden.

[0050] Generally, the pool base station 1 comprises a body, which comprises a casing 100 and some necessary components installed at the casing 100. The casing 100 is installed at a wall to be installed of a pool. Specifically, the wall to be installed 7 is not limited to, but can be a pool bottom wall and / or a pool side wall. However, it is understood that, since the pool base station 1 in the present design needs to maintain at least part of the first inlet 110 exposed above the liquid surface of the pool when operating the liquid surface cleaning mode for cleaning the floating dirt on the liquid surface of the pool, in order to reduce the design burden on the up-down dimension of the casing 100, in actual application, the pool side wall can be set as the wall to be installed 7, so that the pool base station 1 is hung at the wall to be installed 7. Specifically, the casing 100 can be provided with a first wall located at one longitudinal side thereof and a remaining second wall, and the first wall is installed at the pool side wall.

[0051] The second wall can be specifically a wall located at the other longitudinal side of the casing 100 and walls located at both transverse sides. The first inlet 110 can be provided at any of the second walls, so that the first inlet 110 does not interfere with the installation of the casing 100 on the wall to be installed 7 during the cleaning process of the floating dirt. The first inlet 110 can be provided at only any of the second walls, to realize the centralized cleaning of the floating dirt on one side. For example, the first inlet 110 can be provided at the second wall located at the other longitudinal side of the casing 100. Alternatively, the first inlet 110 can be provided at at least two second walls, to realize the centralized cleaning of the floating dirt on at least two sides. For example, the first inlet 110 can be provided in an elongated manner along at least two second walls as one; or at least two first inlets 110 can be provided at at least two second walls one by one.

[0052] The body generally further comprises a cover 140 movably arranged at the casing 100 and capable of being moved to open and close the first inlet 110. When the first inlet 110 is provided as at least two, at least two covers 140 can be provided one by one corresponding to the first inlets 110. At this time, the covers 140 at the first inlets 110 can be linked to open and close, or the covers 140 at the first inlets 110 can be independently opened and closed.

[0053] When the pool base station 1 operates the liquid surface cleaning mode for the floating dirt, the cover 140 at least partially opens the corresponding first inlet 110, and at least part of the first inlet 110 or at least one of the first inlets 110 is exposed above the liquid surface of the pool, so as to form a sufficient liquid level difference at the liquid surface and the dirt inlet channel segment communicated with the first inlet 110, to assist the floating dirt to enter the dirt inlet channel segment more quickly.

[0054] When the pool base station 1 does not operate the liquid surface cleaning mode for the floating dirt, the cover 140 can be set to completely close the corresponding first inlet 110.

[0055] Based on the above, in a further aspect, at least the lower end edge of the first inlet 110 is movably adjustable along the up-down direction relative to the liquid level of the pool; the pool base station 1 further comprises a first adjusting mechanism, which is configured to adjust the up-down position of the lower end edge of the first inlet 110. In this way, the position of the lower end edge of the first inlet 110 relative to the liquid level can be adjusted, and in turn, the liquid level difference formed at the first inlet 110 can be flexibly adjusted.

[0056] For the sake of convenience, the following examples are all based on the case that at least one first inlet 110 is arranged on the longitudinal side of the cabinet 100. In order to achieve the purpose of movably adjusting the at least lower end edge of the first inlet 110 along the up-down direction relative to the liquid level of the pool:

[0057] In one design, the up-down position of the machine body relative to the installation pool wall 7 can be movably adjusted, and the first adjusting mechanism can drive the up-down translation of the machine body. Based on this:

[0058] In a specific embodiment, the pool base station 1 further comprises a guide rail 411 and a guide groove 412, one of which is arranged on the installation pool wall 7, and the other is arranged on the outer wall of the machine body. The guide rail 411 extends along the up-down direction, and the guide groove 412 is in sliding connection with the guide rail 411, so that the up-down position of the lower end edge of the first inlet 110 can be adjusted during the sliding process. The guide groove 412 and the guide rail 411 can be arranged in pairs as one or more. When the guide groove 412 and the guide rail 411 are arranged in pairs as multiple pairs, each pair of guide groove 412 and guide rail 411 can be arranged in sequence along the transverse direction of the cabinet 100, and in particular, can be arranged staggered along the up-down direction of the cabinet 100, so as to improve the stability of the movement of the cabinet 100 on the installation pool wall 7. Furthermore, the guide rail 411 or the guide groove 412 arranged on the machine body is arranged staggered with the first inlet 110 and / or the first outlet 120. In this way, it can be ensured that the arrangement of the guide rail 411 and the guide groove 412 will not affect the sewage process of the first inlet 110 and the drainage process of the first outlet 120.

[0059] Or in another embodiment, the pool base station 1 further comprises a rack 422 and a pinion 421, one of which is mounted at the installation pool wall 7, and the other is mounted on the outer wall of the body, the rack 422 extends along the up-down direction, and the pinion 421 is in sliding connection with the rack 422, so that the lower end of the first inlet 110 can be adjusted along the up-down position during sliding. The pinion 421 and the rack 422 can be arranged in pairs as one or more. When the pinion 421 and the rack 422 are arranged in pairs as multiple, each pair of pinion 421 and rack 422 can be arranged in sequence along the transverse direction of the casing 100, and specifically can be arranged staggered along the up-down direction of the casing 100, so as to improve the stability of the casing 100 on the installation pool wall 7. Further, the rack 422 or the pinion 421 mounted on the body is arranged staggered with the first inlet 110 and / or the first outlet 120. Of course, the pinion 421 and the rack 422 can also be replaced by, for example, a combination of a lead screw and a nut, without limitation.

[0060] In another design, the position of the body relative to the installation pool wall 7 can be fixed or adjusted. At the same time, the at least lower end of the first inlet 110 can be adjusted along the up-down position relative to the casing 100, and the first adjusting mechanism can drive the at least lower end of the first inlet 110 to move up and down, based on which:

[0061] In a specific embodiment, if the body also comprises a cover 140 as described above, the longitudinal side wall of the casing 100 can be provided with a first through hole; and the cover 140 is arranged below the first through hole and can be moved upward to at least partially cover the aperture of the first through hole. The aperture of the first through hole not covered by the cover 140 constitutes the first inlet 110, and the upper end of the cover 140 constitutes the lower end of the first inlet 110; the first adjusting mechanism is in driving connection with the cover 140. At this time, when the cover 140 moves downward, it is equivalent to that the lower end of the first inlet 110 moves downward, and at the same time, the opening cross-sectional area of the first inlet 110 increases; on the contrary, when the cover 140 moves upward, it is equivalent to that the lower end of the first inlet 110 moves upward, and at the same time, the opening cross-sectional area of the first inlet 110 decreases. The movement mode of the cover 140 relative to the casing 100 is not limited, which can be but not limited to translation or flip.

[0062] When the cover 140 is translated up and down relative to the shell 100, in order to stabilize the movement of the cover 140, a guide groove extending along the up and down direction can be further provided on one of the cover 140 and the shell 100, and a guide protrusion in sliding or rolling connection with the guide groove can be provided on the other one. In a further scheme, the guide groove can include a first groove segment, a second groove segment and a third groove segment connected in sequence from bottom to top, and the groove depth of at least the second groove segment can be set to gradually decrease from bottom to top, so that when the guide protrusion is in active connection with the second groove segment, the guide protrusion can move upward while moving longitudinally away from the side wall where the first through hole is located, thereby helping to expand the total opening cross-sectional area of the first inlet 110 as much as possible when the cover 140 is moved upward to drive the lower end of the first inlet 110 to move upward, so as to avoid affecting the inflow of pollutants at the first inlet 110. In addition, the groove depth of at least the third groove segment can be set to gradually increase from bottom to top, so that when the guide protrusion is in active connection with the third groove segment, the guide protrusion can move upward while moving longitudinally close to the side wall where the first through hole is located, and when the cover 140 completely covers the first through hole, the cover 140 is also completely attached to the side wall where the first through hole is located in the longitudinal direction, thereby strengthening the sealing effect of the cover 140 on the first inlet 110.

[0063] Of course, the above does not constitute a limitation on the specific installation and movement form of the cover 140, and in other embodiments, the cover 140 can also be rotatably installed at the first inlet 110, and the like, which will not be described herein.

[0064] In addition, the water pool base station can further include a turnover module, the turnover module being arranged in the first channel 130 adjacent to the first inlet 110, the turnover module including a rotating roller 510 rotatably arranged about an axis extending in the transverse direction, a rotating blade 520 protruding from a radial side wall of the rotating roller 510, and a power component in driving connection with the rotating roller 510, in the rotating process, the rotating blade 520 drives the floating pollutants at the first inlet 110 to enter the first channel 130. The turnover module is started before or at the same time as the fluid driving component 200 is started, so that the rotating blade 520 can drive the floating pollutants at the first inlet 110 to enter the first channel 130 faster and more in the turnover process, thereby helping to improve the cleaning effect of the floating pollutants.

[0065] In view of this, in a specific embodiment, at least the rotating roller 510 in the turnover module is movably arranged along the up-down direction. In this way, the rotating roller 510 can directly constitute the cover 140. At this time, when the rotating roller 510 moves downward, the lower end corresponding to the first inlet 110 moves downward, and at the same time, the opening cross-sectional area of the first inlet 110 increases. Conversely, when the rotating roller 510 moves upward, the lower end corresponding to the first inlet 110 moves upward, and at the same time, the opening cross-sectional area of the first inlet 110 decreases. Since the rotating blade 520 at the rotating roller 510 moves synchronously with the rotating roller 510, the relative position between the rotating blade 520 and the first inlet 110 defined by the rotating roller 510 and the first through hole remains basically unchanged regardless of the position of the rotating roller 510 relative to the shell 100, thereby ensuring that the driving effect of the floating dirt through the first inlet 110 during the turnover of the rotating blade 520 remains basically consistent.

[0066] The scheme of the first adjusting mechanism in any of the above embodiments is not limited, and can be but is not limited to a driver such as a motor or a linear cylinder. Or it is a combination of a driver and a transmission assembly. When the driver is a motor or the like for rotary output, the transmission assembly can convert the rotary output of the motor into linear output of the shell 100 / cover 140 / rotating roller 510, and adjust the speed, direction, etc. during the conversion process according to actual needs. Specifically, it can be but is not limited to a gear 421 and rack 422 mechanism, a lead screw and nut mechanism, etc. Or when the driver is a linear cylinder or the like for linear output, the transmission assembly can convert the linear output of the linear cylinder into linear output of the shell 100 / cover 140 / rotating roller 510, and adjust the speed, direction, etc. during the conversion process according to actual needs. The first adjusting mechanism can also be, for example, a floating structure 430. The floating structure 430 is connected to the shell 100 / cover 140 / rotating roller 510. When the average density of the floating structure 430 is constant, the floating structure 430 can drive the shell 100 / cover 140 / rotating roller 510 to float to adapt to the current liquid in the pool, so that the position of the lower end of the first inlet 110 remains constant. But when the average density of the floating structure 430 is adjustable, the floating structure 430 can drive the shell 100 / cover 140 / rotating roller 510 to move up and down in the current pool, so that the position of the lower end of the first inlet 110 can be flexibly adjusted.

[0067] In addition, in another specific embodiment, when the first through hole is also provided on the longitudinal side wall of the casing 100 as described above, the machine body further comprises a mounting frame and an elastic connecting member. The mounting frame is made of the floating structure 430 material, is movably mounted in the first through hole at least in the up-down direction, and the frame inner region of the mounting frame defines the first inlet 110. The elastic connecting member is sealingly connected between the hole wall of the first through hole and the outer side wall of the mounting frame. The first adjusting mechanism comprises a counterweight connected with the mounting frame, and the weight of the counterweight is adjustable.

[0068] Specifically, the mounting frame can be in the form of a plate or a rod and is arranged only at the lower end of the first through hole. The elastic connecting member is connected between the mounting frame and the lower end of the first through hole. Alternatively, the mounting frame can be in the form of an L-shaped, U-shaped or mouth-shaped and is arranged at any one or at least two end edges of the first through hole except the lower end. The elastic connecting member is arranged in accordance with the shape of the mounting frame. The mounting frame is made of the floating structure 430 material, i.e. any material with a density less than that of the liquid in the pool and can float on the liquid surface or be suspended in the pool, such as foam, wood, air bag, etc. The elastic connecting member is sealingly connected between the mounting frame and the corresponding end edge of the first through hole, and provides sufficient freedom for the up-down movement of the mounting frame. Therefore, the elasticity of the elastic connecting member can be directly defined by an elastic material, such as rubber, silicone, etc. Of course, the elasticity of the elastic connecting member can also be defined by a special structure, such as a multi-layer folding structure that can be folded and unfolded.

[0069] The floating effect of the mounting frame relative to the liquid can be fixed, so that when the casing 100 is installed on the pool wall 7, the mounting frame directly adapts to the current liquid in the pool and floats on the liquid surface to form a first inlet 110 with a substantially constant opening cross-sectional area. Alternatively, the floating effect of the mounting frame relative to the liquid can be movably adjusted, specifically by the counterweight. When the counterweight is fixedly connected with the mounting frame as a whole, by changing the cavity size, total volume size, shape, etc., the average density of the counterweight and the mounting frame as a whole can be changed, so as to finally achieve the purpose of adjusting the up-down position of the lower end of the first inlet 110.

[0070] Based on one or more of the above embodiments, the angle between the orientation of the first outlet 120 and the orientation of the first inlet 110 is not greater than 150°, and further optionally, the angle between the orientation of the first outlet 120 and the orientation of the first inlet 110 is less than 90°. It can be understood that the angle between the orientation of the first outlet 120 and the orientation of the first inlet 110, i.e. the angle between the central axis of the first outlet 120 and the central axis of the first inlet 110. When the angle between the orientation of the first outlet 120 and the orientation of the first inlet 110 is not greater than 90°, the water flow discharged outwardly by the first outlet 120 can directly flow toward the direction in which the first inlet 110 is located, thereby driving the floating dirt to flow toward the first inlet 110. When the angle between the orientation of the first outlet 120 and the orientation of the first inlet 110 is not less than 90° and not greater than 150°, the water flow discharged outwardly by the first outlet 120 partially flows toward the direction in which the first inlet 110 is located, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the floating dirt to flow toward the first inlet 110. Of course, on this basis, if the installation pool wall on which the casing 100 is installed is the side wall of the pool and is located on the side of the first outlet 120 away from the first inlet 110, the installation pool wall can constitute a reflecting surface, and the water flow discharged outwardly by the first outlet 120 and flowing toward the reflecting surface is reflected to flow toward the direction in which the first inlet 110 is located.

[0071] The first outlet 120 can be specifically arranged on one or both lateral sides of the casing 100. It can be understood that when the first inlet 110 is arranged on one longitudinal side of the casing 100, the floating dirt located on the longitudinal front side of the casing 100 can be mainly concentrated and cleaned. However, the regions on both lateral sides of the casing 100, especially the region located on the longitudinal rear side of the first inlet 110, constitute a cleaning blind area of the first inlet 110. The floating dirt in the cleaning blind area is not easy to be directly cleaned by the first inlet 110. By arranging the first outlet 120 in the cleaning blind area and further arranging the angle between the orientations of the first inlet 110 and the first outlet 120 to be not greater than 90°, the pressure of the water flow discharged outwardly by the first outlet 120 can drive the floating dirt in the cleaning blind area to gradually move toward the longitudinal front side of the first inlet 110, thereby making the floating dirt more easily sucked by the first inlet 110.

[0072] It should be noted that, in order to make the process of floating dirt into the first channel 130 more smoothly, the opening direction of the first inlet 110 is generally set to be constant. The opening direction of the first outlet 120 can be set to be fixed or adjustable according to actual needs. When the opening direction of the first outlet 120 is adjustable, specifically, the pool base station 1 can further include a second adjusting mechanism, which can be used to adjust the opening direction of the first outlet 120, thereby adjusting the flow direction of the water flow discharged outward through the first outlet 120, and finally controlling the flow direction of the floating dirt located in the above-mentioned cleaning blind area driven by the water flow discharged outward by the first outlet 120, ensuring that the floating dirt in the cleaning blind area can flow along a relatively reasonable path towards the first inlet 110.

[0073] Further, the opening cross-sectional area of the first outlet 120 can be set to be constant or adjustable in size according to actual needs. When the opening cross-sectional area of the first outlet 120 is adjustable in size, specifically, the second adjusting mechanism can also be used to adjust the opening cross-sectional area of the first outlet 120, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the water flow discharged outward through the first outlet 120, and then adjusting the pressure of the water flow. When the pressure of the water flow is large, the floating dirt in the cleaning blind area can be driven to flow more quickly to the longitudinal front side of the first inlet 110; on the contrary, when the pressure of the water flow is small, the floating dirt in the cleaning blind area can be driven to flow more slowly to the longitudinal front side of the first inlet 110.

[0074] Further, the flow rate of the water flow discharged outward through the first outlet 120 can be set to be constant or adjustable in size according to actual needs. When the flow rate of the water flow discharged outward through the first outlet 120 is adjustable in size, specifically, the second adjusting mechanism can also be used to adjust the flow rate of the water flow discharged outward through the first outlet 120. It should be noted that the second adjusting mechanism can be set to directly adjust the flow rate of the water flow discharged outward through the first outlet 120, or indirectly adjust the flow rate of the water flow discharged outward through the first outlet 120 by adjusting the working parameters of the fluid driving part 200. When the flow rate of the water flow discharged outward through the first outlet 120 is adjustable, the pressure of the water flow discharged outward through the first outlet 120 is adjusted. Similarly, when the pressure of the water flow is large, the floating dirt in the cleaning blind area can be driven to flow more quickly to the longitudinal front side of the first inlet 110; on the contrary, when the pressure of the water flow is small, the floating dirt in the cleaning blind area can be driven to flow more slowly to the longitudinal front side of the first inlet 110.

[0075] In view of the above, it can be understood that the first outlet 120 is provided with at least two, and each first outlet 120 is arranged at the lateral sides of the first inlet 110, so that each first outlet 120 can act on the cleaning blind area at the lateral sides of the first inlet 110, respectively. When the first outlet 120 is further provided with more than two, then at least two first outlets 120 can be arranged at the same lateral side of the first inlet 110.

[0076] In addition, it can be understood that when the filter screen 300 is arranged at the first channel 130, if the filter screen 300 is arranged in a plate shape, the filter screen 300 can be arranged to be radially partitioned along the first channel 130, so as to achieve the purpose of separating the first channel 130 into the dirty inlet channel segment and the drainage channel segment. If the filter screen 300 separately defines a filter cavity, for example, the filter screen 300 is arranged in a frame shape, then the filter cavity directly constitutes the dirty inlet channel segment.

[0077] The above-mentioned first channel 130 and filter screen 300 can be arranged in one or several. Or the dirty inlet channel segment and / or the drainage channel segment in the same first channel 130 can be arranged in one or at least two according to actual needs.

[0078] The dirty inlet channel segment can be arranged at least partially below the first inlet 110, so that when the floating dirt is brought into the dirty inlet channel segment, it will be kept below the first inlet 110 under the action of water flow pressure and gravity, ensuring that when the fluid driving part 200 ends running, the floating dirt trapped in the dirty inlet channel segment will not gather at the first inlet 110, or be discharged outward from the first inlet 110 in the opposite direction.

[0079] And / or, the dirty inlet channel segment is arranged in a tapered manner at the channel segment communicating with the first inlet 110. That is, the radial cross-sectional area of the channel segment at the local channel segment close to the first inlet 110 is smaller than the opening cross-sectional area of the first inlet 110, and smaller than the radial cross-sectional area of the remaining channel segment of the dirty inlet channel segment, so that the floating dirt entering the dirty inlet channel segment through the first inlet 110 is relatively smooth, but is easily stopped and positioned by the tapered portion when flowing from the dirty inlet channel segment to the first inlet 110.

[0080] In view of the above, in an embodiment, at least a part of the rotating blade 520 in the turnover module is hollowed out along the thickness direction thereof, which is equivalent to forming a screen. In this way, when the rotating blade 520 is turned over by the rotating roller 510, it can mainly drive the floating dirt to enter the first channel 130 more quickly, to a certain extent, reducing the disturbance to the water flow. And / or in an embodiment, a plurality of rotating blades 520 are arranged along the circumference of the rotating roller 510, and each rotating blade 520 can be elongated along the axis of the rotating roller 510, which can be a straight strip or a spiral strip. When a plurality of rotating blades 520 are arranged along the circumference of the rotating roller 510, the floating dirt can be continuously grabbed and removed, improving the cleaning efficiency of the floating dirt.

[0081] The rotating blade 520 can be made of a rigid material to ensure its structural strength, or in an embodiment, at least the free section of the rotating blade 520 is made of an elastically deformable material. The elastically deformable material can be, but is not limited to, rubber, etc. When at least the free section of the rotating blade 520 is made of an elastically deformable material, it can be elongated and deformed under the action of centrifugal force during rotation of the rotating blade 520, thereby increasing the contact area between the rotating blade 520 and the floating dirt. In addition, by making the free section of the rotating blade 520 made of an elastically deformable material, even if a collision occurs between the free section of the rotating blade 520 and the surrounding components, it is a flexible collision, avoiding structural damage.

[0082] Of course, the necessary components mounted at the housing 100 described above can include, but are not limited to, one or several of the power supply module, the control device, the water quality detection module, the temperature detection module, the water quality adjustment module, the human-computer interaction module, etc.

[0083] The power supply module can adopt any power supply form, which can be, but is not limited to, a wireless charging module, a solar charging module, an electricity storage module, etc., which is helpful for power saving, environmental protection, and can support long-term use of the pool base station 1. The wireless charging module can be embodied between the pool base station and an external power supply, or between the pool walking robot 6 and the pool base station described below, reducing human operation and increasing use convenience.

[0084] The water quality detection module and the water quality adjustment module can be used in conjunction. The water quality detection module detects the parameters of the water in the pool, and then the control device controls the water quality adjustment module to adjust the water quality according to the detected value of the parameters when it is determined that the water in the pool does not meet the standards, for example, by releasing water quality adjustment reagents or using ultraviolet lamps for sterilization and disinfection.

[0085] The human-computer interaction module includes a voice recognition module and a display control module, and can be set at least in one mode, and is used to establish communication and interaction between the user and the pool base station 1. For example, the user can trigger instructions through voice or touch, and interact with the pool base station. Of course, the pool base station can also realize the purpose of presetting abnormal alarm through the human-computer interaction module, or the user can understand the related information in the pool in real time based on the display screen, so that the use of the pool base station 1 is more intelligent and humanized.

[0086] In addition, based on one or more of the above embodiments, the pool cleaning device further includes a pool walking robot 6 in addition to the pool base station 1. The pool walking robot 6 includes a shell forming a second inlet 610, a second outlet 620, and a second channel 630 communicating the second inlet 610 and the second outlet 620. The pool walking robot 6 further includes a dust box 640, which is equivalent to the above-mentioned filter screen 300, and can achieve the purpose of retaining solid residues entering the second channel 630 through the second inlet 610 in the dust box 640.

[0087] The pool walking robot 6 and the pool base station 1 have at least a separated state and a docking state. When in the separated state, the pool walking robot 6 can work independently, for example, walking in the pool according to a preset track, and during the walking process, cleaning the dirt on the pool wall. When in the docking state, the pool base station 1 can perform operations such as charging, automatic cleaning of garbage in the dust box 640, and automatic cleaning of the dust box 640 on the pool walking robot 6. The pool walking robot 6 can be flexibly switched between the separated state and the docking state under the control of the control device.

[0088] It should be noted that in order to ensure that the above-mentioned pool base station 1 can better operate the liquid surface cleaning mode of floating dirt, in further embodiments, the first inlet 110 can be arranged to be staggered with the pool walking robot 6 when the pool walking robot 6 and the pool base station are docked and in the docking state. That is, any part of the pool walking robot 6 does not block the first inlet 110 and / or the first outlet 120, thereby ensuring the functional independence and efficiency of the pool base station 1 when operating the liquid surface cleaning mode.

[0089] And / or in another embodiment, when the pool walking robot 6 and the pool base station are docked, the second channel 630 is in communication with the first channel 130, and the communication between the second channel 630 and the first channel 130 is located at least upstream of the dirty inlet channel section. By setting the second channel 630 in communication with the first channel 130, and specifically setting the dirty inlet channel section and the second outlet 620 of the second channel 630 in communication connection, on the one hand, the collected dirt in the second channel 630 (i.e. the dirt in the dust box 640) can be concentrated and recovered into the dirty inlet channel section by means of the fluid driving component 200 in the pool base station 1; on the other hand, the second inlet 610 can also simultaneously clean the floating dirt or other dirt in the pool by means of the fluid driving component 200 in the pool base station 1, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and optimizing the cleaning effect.

[0090] And / or in an embodiment, when the pool walking robot 6 and the pool base station are docked, the second channel 630 is in communication with the first channel 130, and the opening direction and / or the opening cross-sectional area of the second inlet 610 and the first inlet 110 are different. In this way, the second inlet 610 and the first inlet 110 can both clean the floating dirt as described above. And because the opening direction and / or the opening cross-sectional area of the first inlet 110 and the second inlet 610 are different, the cleaning operation performed through the first inlet 110 and the cleaning operation performed through the second inlet 610 produce different cleaning effects, thereby helping to improve the diversity and comprehensiveness of the pool cleaning equipment in the pool.

[0091] And / or in an embodiment, the upper end of the pool walking robot 6 protrudes a plate member, the plate member is provided with a plurality of screen holes, and each screen hole penetrates the plate member along the walking direction of the pool walking robot 6. In this way, when the pool base station 1 operates in the liquid surface cleaning mode and the pool walking robot 6 is in a separated state and independently operates in its own related working mode, the floating dirt far away from the pool base station 1 can be brought close to the first inlet 110 by the plate member through the walking of the pool walking robot 6 in the pool, for example, through the process of the pool walking robot 6 returning to the pool base station 1.

[0092] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structural transformation made by using the content of the present application specification and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
