The first communication module 501 is fixedly arranged in the cavity of the floating part 301 or the connecting part 302, and the second communication module is fixedly arranged in the cavity of the immersion part 303 or the connecting part 302.

[0047] When in use, the first communication module 501 is at least partially or entirely above the horizontal plane 110 of the swimming pool 100, and the second communication module 502 is at least partially or entirely below the horizontal plane 110 of the swimming pool 100.

[0048] The first communication module 501 needs to be connected with the communication equipment on the shore, so it needs to be at least partially above the horizontal plane 110 of the pool 100 to ensure effective transmission of signals; it is best to be entirely above the horizontal plane 110 of the pool 100. Similarly, the second communication module 502 needs to be connected with the communication equipment under water, so it needs to be at least partially below the horizontal plane 110 of the pool 100 to ensure effective transmission of signals; it is best to be entirely below the horizontal plane 110 of the pool 100.

[0049] In the present embodiment, the equipment below the horizontal plane 110 can be the underwater pool robot 200, or a transfer base station arranged underwater.

[0050] The power module further comprises a rechargeable storage battery, which can be charged by plugging or by wireless charging.

[0051] As shown in Figure 6 In one embodiment, the fixing seat comprises a fixing part 304 connected with the pool 100 and a fixing platform 305 connected with the body, so that the pool float communication device body can be fixed by the fixing seat and not affected by waves or wind on the water surface.

[0052] In one embodiment, the fixing platform 305 is provided with a fixing hole 306, which is a through hole penetrating through the fixing platform 305. The fixing hole 306 can be a circular hole, a square hole, an oval hole, etc., and can also be a slot hole. In the present embodiment, the cross section of the connecting part 302 of the body is generally circular, so the fixing hole 306 in the present embodiment is a circular hole, so that the connecting part 302 is sleeved in the circular hole for fixation.

[0053] In the present embodiment, the fixing platform 305 can be further provided with silica gel, sponge, flexible material, etc. around the circular hole, to prevent the pool float communication device from being scratched by the friction between the pool float communication device and the fixing platform 305 due to the buoyancy of the water surface or the impact of waves, etc.

[0055] In one embodiment, the upper end of the floating part 301 is arc-shaped or hemispherical; the overall shape of the floating part 301 is umbrella-shaped or mushroom-shaped. The arc-shaped or hemispherical shape increases the angle, which is beneficial for signal transmission and reception.

[0056] When the floating part 301, the connecting part 302 and the soaking part 303 are connected with each other, the overall shape is mushroom-shaped or similar to a jellyfish shape.

[0057] In one embodiment, the lower end of the connecting part 302 or the floating part 301 is located in the fixing hole 306, the soaking part 303 is located below the fixed platform 305, and the diameter of the step is larger than the diameter of the fixing hole 306. The diameter of the step is larger than the diameter of the fixing hole 306, which can be effectively clamped in the fixing hole 306.

[0058] In one embodiment, the floating part 301, the connecting part 302 and the soaking part 303 are detachably connected, specifically, the detachable connection is a threaded connection or a snap-fit connection; the sealing member is a silica gel sealing ring.

[0059] The detachable connection between the floating part 301 and the connecting part 302 can facilitate the maintenance and replacement of the first communication module 501 located in the upper part, and the detachable connection between the connecting part 302 and the soaking part 303 can facilitate the maintenance and replacement of the second communication module 502 located in the lower part. At the same time, it is also convenient to install the floating body communication device body at the fixing hole 306 of the fixed platform 305.

[0060] In one embodiment, the soaking part 303 is further provided with a counterweight (not shown in the figure). Because the overall shape of the pool floating body communication device is mushroom-shaped, it appears to be top-heavy, and the addition of a counterweight can balance the weight of the upper and lower parts, or the weight of the lower part can be higher than that of the upper part, so as to ensure that the soaking part 303 can be at least partially or entirely located below the horizontal plane 110, so as to better communicate with the underwater equipment.

[0061] In one embodiment, the floating part 301 is provided with a plurality of through holes, and the inner cavity corresponding to the through holes is provided with a light emitting element (not shown in the figure). The light emitting element is connected with the main control circuit 500 and controlled by the main control circuit 500 to control the light-on and light-off process.

[0062] The light emitting element is an LED lamp, which can be always on or set as a breathing lamp. It can not only emit light to warn users and prevent collision or accidental injury, but also can be set in multiple colors and multiple states to bring users a visual aesthetic feeling.

[0063] In one embodiment, the floating part 301 is further provided with a cover 400, which is made of transparent material. The cover 400 can protect the pool float communication device and also play a decorative role.

[0064] The cover 400 can also be provided as a translucent piece of multiple colors to match the light-emitting elements to produce different colors of light, which is more effective.

[0065] In one embodiment, the floating part 301 is filled with transparent or translucent sealing material at the through hole. The transparent or translucent sealing material can not only transmit the light of the light-emitting elements to the outside of the pool float communication device, but also prevent water from entering the pool float communication device.

[0066] In one embodiment, the fixing seat is provided with a fixing member (not shown in the figure), which is fixedly connected with at least one of the following: the surface 101 along the shore of the pool 100, the inner wall surface 102 of the pool 100, and the inner bottom surface 103 of the pool 100. The fixing member is at least one of the following: a fixing lock, a fixing hanger, a fixing hole 306, a fixing bolt, a fixing rope, a fixing suction cup, and a fixing vacuum pad.

[0067] As shown in Figure 7 In this embodiment, the device under the horizontal surface 110 is a pool robot 200, which includes a pool robot 200 body. The inside of the pool robot 200 body is provided with a garbage storage device. The bottom of the pool robot 200 body is provided with a water inlet communicated with the garbage storage device. The side or / and upper part of the pool robot 200 body is provided with a water outlet.

[0068] The lower part of the pool robot 200 is provided with a walking mechanism, which is a walking wheel or a walking track.

[0069] The inside of the pool robot 200 body is further provided with a third communication module 503, which can communicate with the first communication module 501 and / or the second communication module 502 of the pool float communication device. That is, it can communicate with the relay base station and also directly communicate with the pool float communication device.

[0070] In this embodiment, the third communication module 503 is preferentially connected with the second communication module 502 of the pool float communication device, because the second communication module 502 is below the horizontal surface 110, and its signal transmission is better than that of the first communication module 501.

[0071] Embodiment 2

[0072] As shown in Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the floating part 301 is provided with at least one latch 307, which allows the main body to be locked in the fixing hole 306 of the fixing platform 305.

[0073] In this embodiment, the number of the ear clips 307 is preferably two, and they are arranged symmetrically.

[0074] If a full circle of steps is set, mud and dust or moss can easily accumulate at the steps. In this embodiment, two simple clips 307 are set, which can not only achieve the purpose of fixing the swimming pool floating communication device, but also prevent the accumulation of mud and dust or the growth of moss.

[0075] Other solutions are consistent with Embodiment 1 and have the same technical effects as Embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0076] Example 3

[0077] like Figure 8 As shown, the device below the horizontal plane 110 is a communication device separately installed at the bottom (on the bottom wall) of the pool 100. The third communication module 503 is installed on the device below the horizontal plane 110, and it then communicates with the pool robot 200.

[0078] Because horizontal and vertical reception are ideal for underwater communication, if the third communication module 503 is installed on the pool robot 200, the signal transmission may weaken or be lost due to the influence of pool walls, buildings, plants, etc., as the cleaning area changes. Therefore, by adding a separate third communication module 503 underwater, signal transmission can be guaranteed regardless of the location of the pool robot 200.

[0079] Other solutions are consistent with Embodiment 1 and have the same technical effects as Embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0080] This embodiment provides a swimming pool floating communication device and a swimming pool robot 200, which is simple to use, can achieve stable signal during wireless communication, and when fixed by a fixed base, can ensure that the second communication module 502 in the soaking part 303 can effectively communicate wirelessly with the equipment below the horizontal plane 110.

[0081] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the specific implementation of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the claims of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
