Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water tank cleaning systems, specifically to a water tank base station and water tank cleaning system capable of water quality monitoring and adjustment. Background Technology
[0002] Pools, including swimming pools, are venues for people to engage in swimming activities or competitions. Most swimming pools are built on land and can be categorized into regular swimming pools and heated swimming pools based on water temperature. To ensure the comfort and safety of people in the pool, it is necessary to clean it periodically. Currently, there are pool robots that can automatically clean pools, replacing manual labor. However, existing pool robots generally only remove solid waste. When water quality issues arise, such as abnormal levels of urea, turbidity, pH, free residual chlorine, total chlorine, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), TDS, COD, conductivity, total bacterial count, and coliform bacteria, existing pool robots generally cannot provide better solutions. Furthermore, integrating water quality adjustment modules into existing pool robots can lead to an excessively large overall size, increasing manufacturing costs and performance.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a water quality monitoring base station for a water tank and a water tank cleaning system thereon. For ease of understanding, in the following embodiments, the water quality monitoring base station for a water tank and the water tank cleaning system thereon are arranged in pairs of intersecting horizontal, vertical, and vertical directions. The horizontal and vertical directions are two directions that are approximately perpendicular to the vertical direction on a horizontal plane.
[0046] Specifically, the water quality monitoring and adjustment base station provided by this utility model is used for installation on the wall of a water tank. The water quality monitoring and adjustment base station includes a body 100, a water quality detection module 200, and a water quality adjustment module 300. The body 100 is installed on the wall of the water tank; the water quality detection module 200 is located on the body 100 and is used to detect the water quality of the water in the tank; the water quality adjustment module 300 is located on the body 100 and includes a housing and a first opening / closing member. The housing forms a drug storage chamber for storing a drug and a drug dispensing channel. The drug dispensing channel connects the drug storage chamber and the outside of the body 100. The first opening / closing member is located at the connection between the drug storage chamber and the drug dispensing channel and can movably open and close the drug storage chamber and the drug dispensing channel, so that when the connection is established, the drug dispensing channel releases the drug received from the drug storage chamber to the outside of the body 100.
[0047] In the technical solution provided by this utility model, both the water quality detection module 200 and the water quality adjustment module 300 are integrated into the base station for the water tank. This allows for better utilization of the larger assembly space within the base station and avoids adding structural burden to the water tank cleaning robot used in conjunction with the base station. When a user has a need for water quality testing and adjustment, the water quality detection module 200 can instantly test the water quality in the current water tank. The water quality adjustment module 300 can, based on the detection data from the water quality detection module 200, perform targeted, more efficient, and more accurate water quality adjustment on the current water tank, which helps to further enhance the cleaning effect on the water tank.
[0048] Generally, a water quality monitoring and adjustment base station for a water tank includes a body 100, which includes a housing 110 and some necessary components installed on the housing 110. The housing 110 is installed on the wall of the water tank to be installed. The specific location of the wall to be installed is not limited; it can be, but is not limited to, the bottom wall and / or side wall of the water tank. However, it is understood that when the water quality monitoring and adjustment base station in this design operates in the monitoring and adjustment mode to detect and / or adjust the water in the water tank, it is necessary to ensure that the parts of the water quality detection module 200 that perform the detection function and the parts of the water quality adjustment module 300 that perform the water quality adjustment function are not obstructed as much as possible. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to ensure that the installation of the housing 110 on the wall to be installed, the installation of the water quality detection module 200 on the housing 110, and the installation of the water quality adjustment module 300 on the housing 110 do not interfere with each other.
[0049] The housing 110 may generally have a first sewage inlet 111, a first drain outlet 112, and a first flow channel 121 connecting the first sewage inlet 111 and the first drain outlet 112. The first sewage inlet 111 and / or the first drain outlet 112 may be directly formed on the housing 110, or the first sewage inlet 111 and / or the first drain outlet 112 may be defined by forming mounting holes in the housing 110 and then defining the first sewage inlet 111 and / or the first drain outlet 112 by other components assembled at the mounting holes.
[0050] The body 100 also includes a first pump body 130 and a filter structure 140. The first pump body 130 is located in the first flow channel 121 to drive external water to enter the first flow channel 121 from the first sewage inlet 111 and then discharge it to the outside through the first drain outlet 112. The filter structure 140 is located in the first flow channel 121 to divide the first flow channel 121 into a sewage inlet flow channel section 121a near the first sewage inlet 111 and a drainage flow channel section 121b near the first drain outlet 112. The filter structure 140 is used to trap solids in the water at the sewage inlet flow channel section 121a.
[0051] For example, the first sewage inlet 111 can be directly opened at the housing 110, and the housing wall of the housing 110 with the first sewage inlet 111 can be a straight housing wall, an outwardly convex housing wall, or an inwardly concave housing wall.
[0052] The housing 110 is also provided with a first mounting hole, and the body 100 also includes a flow channel shell plate 120 and a drain pipe. The flow channel shell plate 120 is installed inside the housing 110, and the flow channel shell plate 120 is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole. The first through hole is sealed and connected to the first sewage inlet 111; the second through hole is correspondingly provided to the first mounting hole. The drain pipe passes through the first through hole and the first mounting hole in sequence, and is connected to the first pump body 130, which is at least partially housed in the flow channel shell wall. When the first sewage inlet 111 is located on one longitudinal side of the housing 110, the first drain outlet 112 can be located on both transverse sides of the housing 110. In this case, two drain pipes are correspondingly provided, and the two drain pipes are connected to the same first pump body 130.
[0053] The filter structure 140 is built into the flow channel shell plate 120. In this case, the cavity section within the flow channel shell plate 120 located between the filter structure 140 and the first through hole constitutes the aforementioned inlet flow channel section 121a; the cavity section within the flow channel shell plate 120 located between the filter structure 140 and the second through hole, together with the drain pipe body, constitutes the aforementioned drainage flow channel section 121b. The filter structure 140 may be plate-shaped and radially spaced along the first flow channel 121; or the filter structure 140 may be frame-shaped, enclosing and defining the inlet flow channel section 121a.
[0054] When the first pump body 130 starts running, a suction airflow is formed at the first flow channel 121. This suction airflow carries water from the water tank outside the casing 110 into the first flow channel 121 through the first sewage inlet 111, and finally discharges it outward through the first drain outlet 112. During this process, solids and other dirt carried in the water will be trapped in the sewage inlet section 121a by the filter structure 140, achieving the purpose of sewage collection.
[0055] In view of the above, in practical applications, the water quality detection module 200 generally includes a main body 210 and a detection unit 220. The detection unit 220 needs to be in contact with the water in the pool at least partially. The main body 210 integrates the relevant components required for detection, which may be, but are not limited to, a signal receiving and transmitting unit, a signal storage unit, and a power supply unit. When the water quality detection module is installed on the housing 110, specifically, the detection unit 220 can be directly exposed outside the housing 110 to directly detect the water quality of the water surrounding the housing 110. Alternatively, a detection channel can be reserved inside the housing 110, which introduces the water surrounding the housing 110. The detection unit 220 is installed inside this detection channel but not exposed outside the housing 110, allowing direct detection of the water quality of the water connected to the detection channel.
[0056] In a further embodiment, at least the detection unit 220 in the water quality detection module 200 can be positioned constantly relative to the housing 110, or its position relative to the housing 110 can be adjusted. Specifically, the position of the detection unit 220 relative to the housing 110 can be vertically adjustable, allowing water quality testing to be performed on water at different depths within the same area of the pool. Alternatively, the position of the detection unit 220 relative to the housing 110 can be horizontally and / or vertically adjustable, allowing water quality testing to be performed on water at different areas within the same depth of the pool. Various methods can be used to achieve this adjustable position of the detection unit 220 relative to the housing 110. One method is, but is not limited to, forming a magnetic surface in at least a localized area of the housing 110, and then providing a magnetic structure at the detection unit 220, where the magnetic structure can magnetically attract any part of the magnetic surface. Alternatively, a sliding groove can be provided at the housing 110, and a sliding protrusion can be provided on the detection part 220. By operating the sliding protrusion to slide in the sliding groove, the position of the detection part 220 relative to the housing 110 can be flexibly changed.
[0057] Similarly, regarding the water quality testing module 200, when the main body 100 includes the housing 110, the water quality regulating module 300 can be at least partially externally mounted on the housing 110, i.e., exposed outside the housing 110. In this case, the water quality regulating module 300 exposed outside the housing 110 can be located at the top, any side, or the bottom of the housing 110. Alternatively, the water quality regulating module 300 can also be at least partially built into the housing 110, i.e., housed within the housing 110. In this case, the water quality regulating module 300 housed within the housing 110 can also be located at the top, any side, or the bottom of the housing 110.
[0058] As described above, when the water quality testing module 200 includes a housing, and the housing defines a drug storage chamber and a drug dispensing channel, for ease of understanding, the portion of the housing defining the drug dispensing channel can be defined as the drug dispensing pipe. The connection between the drug storage chamber and the drug dispensing channel is the first opening; the first opening / closing element is, for example, a valve body or a gate body. By operating the first opening / closing element to open and close the first opening, the drug stored in the drug storage chamber can be connected to the drug dispensing pipe in the required amount and at the required time, as needed.
[0059] In one embodiment, regardless of whether the shell forming the drug storage chamber is exposed outside or contained within the housing 110, if the dispensing pipe is directly exposed outside the housing 110, or if at least a portion of the dispensing pipe is contained within the housing 110 but its outlet end needs to penetrate the housing 110 and be exposed outside, the outlet end of the dispensing pipe constitutes a third opening connecting to the outside of the housing 110. The dispensing channel defined by the dispensing pipe is directly connected to the water outside the housing 110. In this case, the drug entering the dispensing channel through the drug storage chamber can directly enter the water tank and act on the water. When no driving force is applied to the dispensing channel, the drug in the dispensing channel is equivalent to being naturally and slowly released in the water tank, and can be naturally released after a certain period of time under the action of the water flow in the water tank. When a driving force is applied to the drug outlet channel, the drug inside the channel can actively enter the pool under the driving force and act on the water.
[0060] In another embodiment, regardless of whether the shell forming the drug storage chamber is exposed outside or contained within the housing 110, if the entire section of the drug dispensing pipe is completely contained within the housing 110, the drug dispensing channel defined by the drug dispensing pipe cannot directly communicate with the water outside the housing 110. In this case, one option is to additionally define an adjustment channel within the housing 110, which connects the drug dispensing channel and the outside of the housing 110, thereby guiding the drug in the drug dispensing channel to be discharged outside the housing 110. Alternatively, in another option, the drug dispensing channel can be connected to the first flow channel 121, thereby guiding the drug in the drug dispensing channel to the first flow channel 121, whereby the suction airflow generated by the first pump 130 allows the drug to be discharged outside the housing 110 along with the water in the first flow channel 121.
[0061] When the drug outlet channel is connected to the first flow channel 121:
[0062] In one embodiment, the dispensing channel has a second opening communicating with the first flow channel 121. The water quality adjustment module 300 also includes a second opening / closing component, which is located at the second opening and can movably connect and disconnect the dispensing channel and the first flow channel 121. Similarly, the second opening / closing component can be, for example, a valve or a door. By operating the second opening / closing component to open and close the second opening, the medicine transferred in the dispensing channel can be introduced into the first flow channel 121 in the required amount and at the required time, according to actual needs. In this way, the water quality adjustment module 300 does not need to apply additional driving force and can directly utilize the suction driving force generated by the first pump body 130 fixed in the water quality monitoring and adjustment base station to simultaneously achieve the purpose of discharging the medicine into the water tank.
[0063] In one embodiment, the dispensing channel can be connected to the drainage channel section 121b. Specifically, for example, the housing includes a second dispensing pipe 322 forming the dispensing channel. The second dispensing pipe 322 is connected to any section of, for example, the aforementioned drainage pipe. In this case, both the housing forming the drug storage chamber and the second dispensing pipe 322 can be located within the housing 110, but outside the flow channel shell plate 120. By connecting the dispensing channel to the drainage channel section 121b, the agent transferred within the dispensing channel can be directly discharged outwards along with the water in the drainage channel section 121b, resulting in a shorter flow path for the agent within the first flow channel 121. This is more suitable for discharging agents with immediate effects, primarily for water quality regulation within the pool.
[0064] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the drug outlet channel can be connected to the wastewater inlet channel section 121a. Specifically, for example, the housing includes a first drug outlet pipe 321 forming the drug outlet channel. The first drug outlet pipe 321 is connected to, for example, a portion of the aforementioned channel shell plate 120. The distance between the first drug outlet pipe 321 and the first wastewater outlet should not be too close to avoid interference between the drug outlet of the first drug outlet pipe 321 and the wastewater inlet of the first wastewater outlet. However, the distance between the first dispensing pipe 321 and the first drain outlet should not be too far. By setting the first dispensing pipe 321 upstream of the filter structure 140, the process of discharging the agent out of the casing 110 allows the agent to flow through the inlet channel section 121a and the filter structure 140, thus simultaneously regulating the dirt trapped in the inlet channel section 121a, the filter structure 140 itself, the dirt remaining on the filter structure 140, and the dirt remaining in the drain channel section 121b. Especially when the agent mainly plays a disinfection and sterilization role, it can disinfect and sterilize the first channel 121 and the filter structure 140 at the same time, and can prevent viruses or bacteria generated by the dirt trapped in the first channel 121 and / or the first channel 121 from being carried into the water tank during the subsequent sewage collection process, causing secondary pollution in the water tank.
[0065] Based on this, when the drug outlet channel is connected to the sewage inlet channel 121a, the first opening and closing component is first controlled to open, allowing the medicine stored in the drug storage chamber to enter the drug outlet channel. Then, the first opening and closing component is controlled to close, and the second opening and closing component is controlled to open, gradually introducing the medicine from the drug outlet channel into the sewage inlet channel 121a. During this process, the first pump body 130 can be initially in a closed state to appropriately extend the preset residence time of the medicine in the sewage inlet channel 121a and the drainage channel 121b, ensuring that the medicine is sufficient to regulate the sewage inlet channel 121a and the drainage channel 121b. After this, the first pump body 130 is then started to continue discharging the medicine out of the casing 110. Of course, in this scheme, the amount and / or type of medicine introduced from the drug storage chamber into the drug outlet channel should be ensured to be sufficient to exert an effect on the first channel 121 and the water tank, so as to avoid reducing the regulating effect on the water in the first channel 121 and / or the water tank.
[0066] Given any of the above embodiments, it can be understood that the agent transferred in the dispensing channel can be released naturally without external driving force. Alternatively, the agent transferred in the dispensing channel can be discharged outward by means of the first pump body 130. Or, in one embodiment, the water quality conditioning module 300 further includes a driving mechanism, which is located at the dispensing channel and is used to drive the agent in the dispensing channel to be released outward. The driving mechanism may be, but is not limited to, a second pump body 340, which is located at the dispensing channel and is capable of actively discharging the agent transferred in the dispensing channel outward from the casing 110 and / or into the first flow channel 121.
[0067] The aforementioned drug storage chamber and / or drug dispensing channel can be configured as one or at least two. When at least two drug dispensing channels are configured, each channel can be connected to the same flow channel segment or the same part of the housing 110. Alternatively, at least two of the drug dispensing channels can be connected to different flow channel segments or different parts of the housing 110, thereby dispersing the drug to different areas.
[0068] Similarly, when there are at least two storage chambers, each chamber can be used to store the same agent, so that any one chamber can serve as a backup for the remaining chambers. Alternatively, at least two of the storage chambers can be used to store different agents, allowing the water quality conditioning module 300 to form at least three conditioning schemes. When there are at least two storage chambers, each chamber is connected to the dispensing channel in a switchable manner, allowing each chamber to independently and controllably dispense agent into the dispensing channel.
[0069] Next, in one embodiment, the drug storage chamber includes a drug storage chamber and a pretreatment chamber. At least two drug storage chambers are independently provided, each used to store different drugs; the pretreatment chamber is connected between the outlet end of each drug storage chamber and the inlet end of the drug dispensing channel. Specifically, for example, the housing includes a first housing 310 and a second housing 330, the first housing 310 defining the drug storage chambers. Furthermore, all drug storage chambers may be defined simultaneously by one first housing 310, or at least one drug storage chamber may be defined separately by at least two first housings 310. The second housing 330 defines the pretreatment chamber. Each drug storage chamber may be separately configured with a pretreatment chamber. Alternatively, the same pretreatment chamber may be correspondingly connected to all drug storage chambers.
[0070] At this time, the first opening / closing component is located between the pretreatment chamber and the drug outlet channel. The water quality adjustment module 300 also includes a third opening / closing component, which is correspondingly located between the outlet end of each drug storage chamber and the pretreatment chamber, so as to independently control the connection and isolation between each drug storage chamber and the pretreatment chamber. The water quality adjustment module 300 may also include a first connecting pipe 331 and / or a second connecting pipe 332. The first connecting pipe 331 is connected between each drug storage chamber and the pretreatment chamber; the second connecting pipe 332 is connected between the first pump body 130 and the pretreatment chamber, and / or between the pretreatment chamber and the drug outlet channel, so as to allow the agent in the pretreatment chamber to be connected to the drug outlet channel.
[0071] It is understandable that when the medicine stored in the storage chamber can be used directly, the pretreatment chamber merely serves as a transfer point, moving the medicine to the dispensing channel. However, when the medicine stored in the storage chamber cannot be used directly, for example, when at least two medicines need to be proportioned, dissolved, or mixed, or when at least one medicine needs to be heated for pretreatment, the pretreatment chamber can perform pretreatment of the aforementioned at least two medicines. After pretreatment is completed, the treated medicine is then connected to the dispensing channel.
[0072] Furthermore, the water quality conditioning module 300 also includes a pretreatment mechanism, which is located in the housing and operates within the pretreatment chamber. The pretreatment mechanism includes at least one of a water supply mechanism, a heating mechanism, and a mixing mechanism. The pretreatment mechanism can be specifically configured according to actual needs. For example, the water supply mechanism can dissolve at least one agent, converting the solid agent into a solution of the desired concentration. The heating mechanism can, for example, appropriately heat at least one agent to allow it to exert its optimal efficacy. The mixing mechanism, for example, is a stirring mechanism or a vibration mechanism, which uniformly mixes at least two agents.
[0073] Of course, the necessary components installed on the housing 110 mentioned above may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: power supply module, control device, human-machine interaction module, etc.
[0074] The power supply module can adopt any power supply form, including but not limited to wireless charging modules, solar charging modules, and energy storage modules, which helps to save energy and protect the environment, and can support the long-term use of the water tank base station that can be monitored and adjusted for water quality. Among them, the wireless charging module can be integrated between the water tank base station and the external power source, or between the cleaning robot and the water tank base station, reducing manual operation and increasing ease of use.
[0075] The human-computer interaction module includes an input module. The input module is located on the main body 100 and is used to input numerical values. The input module can be configured as needed, for example, to input a voice recognition module or a display control module; at least one of these can be selected. It is used to establish communication and interaction between the user and the water tank base station for water quality monitoring and adjustment. For example, the user can trigger commands through voice or touch control to interact with the water tank base station; the user can also input specific values of relevant parameters based on the input module. Of course, the water tank base station can also use the human-computer interaction module to achieve purposes such as preset abnormal alarms, or the user can use a display screen to view relevant information in the water tank in real time, making the use of the water tank base station for water quality monitoring and adjustment more intelligent and user-friendly.
[0076] Furthermore, based on one or more of the above embodiments, the pool cleaning system, in addition to the pool base station for water quality monitoring and adjustment, also includes a cleaning robot. The cleaning robot includes a housing, which forms a second inlet, a second outlet, and a second flow channel connecting the second inlet and the second outlet. The cleaning robot also includes a dust box, which is equivalent to the aforementioned filter structure 140, and is capable of trapping solid waste entering the second flow channel through the second inlet within the dust box.
[0077] The cleaning robot and the water quality monitoring base station for the pool have at least two states: a separated state and a docked state. In the separated state, the cleaning robot can work independently, for example, walking within the pool along a preset trajectory and cleaning debris such as from the pool walls during its movement. In the docked state, the water quality monitoring base station can perform operations on the cleaning robot, such as charging, automatic emptying of the dustbin, and automatic dustbin emptying. The cleaning robot can flexibly switch between the separated state and the docked state under the control of the control device.
[0078] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the aforementioned water quality monitoring base station can better operate in the water quality monitoring mode within the pool, in a further embodiment, when the cleaning robot and the water pool base station are docked, the dispensing channel may also have a fourth opening connected to the second flow channel, thereby allowing the reagent in the dispensing channel to enter the second flow channel. On the one hand, similar to the above, the reagent can simultaneously regulate the second flow channel, for example, by disinfection and sterilization; on the other hand, at least part of the reagent can be transferred to the cleaning robot, and through the robot's movement, the reagent can be dispersed and discharged to a larger area of the pool.
[0079] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
