[0024] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Figures 1 to 8 This is a preferred embodiment of the float mounting structure for a swimming pool robot provided by this utility model. For example... Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the float mounting structure of the pool robot includes a float 20 with a mounting base 21. The main unit 10 has mounting holes 11. The mounting base 21 includes a cover 211 covering the mounting holes, a fixed sleeve 212 at the bottom of the cover, and a movable sleeve 213 that movably engages with the fixed sleeve 212. The fixed sleeve 212 and the movable sleeve 213 are inserted into the mounting holes 11. The cover 211 is mounted on the main unit 10 by bolts 100. The cover 211 has at least one upper mounting hole 2111, and the main unit 10 has a lower mounting hole 2111 that engages with the upper mounting hole 2111. The mounting hole 12 is used to detachably mount the cover onto the main unit 10. A bolt 100 passes through the upper mounting hole 2111 and the lower mounting hole 12, engaging with a nut 200. In use, the movable sleeve 213 engages with the fixed sleeve 212. After inserting the fixed sleeve 212 and the movable sleeve 213 into the mounting hole 11, the bolt 100 passes through the upper mounting hole 2111 and the lower mounting hole 12, engaging with a nut 200, thus detachably mounting the float onto the main unit 10. This design is simple, easy to assemble and disassemble, and allows users to easily retrieve the entire pool robot and check its location. The float 20 generally includes a float base 23, which is connected to the mounting base 21 via a cable 23. The structure of the float base 23 can refer to existing technology and is not modified in this application. The bottom of the movable sleeve 213 has a hole for contacting the internal terminals of the main unit 10.

[0026] like Figures 2 to 6As shown, the cover 211 has mounting ears 214 on both sides, and upper mounting holes 2111 are formed in the mounting ears 214; the main unit 10 has a hole seat 13, and the mounting holes 11 are set on the hole seat 13. The hole seat 13 has mounting bosses 14 on both sides, and the mounting bosses 14 have lower mounting holes 12 corresponding to the upper mounting holes. During installation, the cover 211 covers the hole seat 13, and the upper mounting holes 2111 on both sides of the cover 211 correspond to the lower mounting holes 12 on both sides of the mounting holes 11. The mounting base 21 of the float 20 is detachably installed on the main unit 10 by using bolts 100 passing through the upper mounting holes 2111 and the lower mounting holes 12 and cooperating with nuts 200.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the fixed sleeve 212 and the movable sleeve 213 are connected by a threaded connection. The fixed sleeve 212 and the movable sleeve 213 are provided with mutually mating threads, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the fixed sleeve 212.

[0028] As another preferred implementation, such as Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the fixed sleeve 212 and the movable sleeve 213 are movably connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. The fixed sleeve 212 has at least one snap-fit ​​protrusion 2121 on its side wall, and the movable sleeve 213 has a slot 2131 on its side wall that engages with the snap-fit ​​protrusion 2121. When the movable sleeve 213 is fitted onto the fixed sleeve 212, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 2121 engages with the slot 2131, making it easy to disassemble the movable sleeve 213.

[0029] The fixed sleeve 212 has at least one mounting and positioning boss 2122 on its side wall, and the movable sleeve 213 has a mounting and positioning groove 2132 on its side wall that mates with the mounting and positioning boss 2122. This limits the insertion depth of the fixed sleeve 212 into the movable sleeve 213 and simultaneously positions the mating position of the movable sleeve 213 and the fixed sleeve 212. Figure 3 As shown, the fixed sleeve 212 has a pair of mounting and positioning bosses 2122 on its side wall, and the upper top of the movable sleeve 213 has two mounting and positioning grooves 2132 that cooperate with the mounting and positioning bosses 2122.

[0030] At least one through-hole 111 is formed on the side wall of the mounting hole 11 for the snap protrusion 2121 of the fixed sleeve 212 to pass through. The through-hole 111 corresponds to the snap protrusion 2121. After the movable sleeve 213 is detachably installed on the fixed sleeve 212, when the cover 211 is placed over the mounting hole 11, the fixed sleeve 212 and the movable sleeve 213 are inserted into the mounting hole 11 of the main unit 10. The snap protrusion 2121 in the snap 2131 of the movable sleeve 213 passes through the through-hole 111 on the mounting hole 11, thereby ensuring that the fixed sleeve 212 and the movable sleeve 213 are placed into the mounting hole 11.

[0031] The movable sleeve 213 is further provided with an installation indicator protrusion 2133 on its side wall. A notch corresponding to the installation indicator protrusion is formed on the side wall of the mounting hole 11. When the movable sleeve 213 is inserted into the mounting hole 11, the installation indicator protrusion 2133 aligns with the notch and passes through the notch, thus positioning the movable sleeve 213 within the mounting hole 11 of the main unit 10. In a preferred embodiment, the notch coincides with the through-hole 111, and the installation indicator protrusion 2133 corresponds to the through-hole 111 on the mounting hole 11. The width of the installation indicator protrusion is not greater than the width of the through-hole 111. When the movable sleeve 213 is inserted into the mounting hole 11, the installation indicator protrusion 2133 aligns with the through-hole 111 and passes through the through-hole 111, thus positioning the movable sleeve 213 within the mounting hole 11 of the main unit 10.

[0032] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the movable sleeve 213 is provided with two bayonet slots 2131 and two mounting positioning slots 2132. The two bayonet slots 2131 and the two mounting positioning slots 2132 are arranged opposite each other and are distributed at a 90-degree angle. The mounting indicator protrusion 2133 is located below the bayonet slot 2131 in the front position. Correspondingly, the fixed sleeve 212 is provided with two buckles 2121 and two mounting positioning protrusions 2122. The two buckles 2121 and the two mounting positioning protrusions 2122 are arranged opposite each other and are distributed at a 90-degree angle. The mounting hole 11 of the main unit 10 has openings 111 on both sides corresponding to the buckles 2121.

[0033] like Figures 7 to 8 As shown, the specific usage process of the float installation structure of the pool robot is as follows: The installation positioning groove 2132 of the movable sleeve 213 is aligned with the installation positioning boss 2122 of the fixed sleeve 212. The movable sleeve 213 is put on the fixed sleeve 212. The two buckles 2121 on the fixed sleeve 212 cooperate with the bayonet 2131. When the cover 211 is covered on the installation hole 11, the fixed sleeve 212 and the movable sleeve 213 are inserted into the installation hole 11. After the fixed sleeve 212 and the movable sleeve 213 are inserted into the installation hole 11, the bolt 100 is passed through the upper installation hole 2111 and the lower installation hole 12 and cooperates with the nut 200, so that the float 20 can be detachably installed on the main unit 10.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model also provides a pool robot, wherein the float 20 is detachably mounted on the main unit 10 via a float mounting structure, making it convenient for users to take the main unit 10 out of the water.
