Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic swimming pool cleaning machines, and in particular to a filter unit with disinfection and sterilization functions and an automatic swimming pool cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Swimming pools are venues where people engage in swimming activities. During use, swimming pools inevitably accumulate some pollutants such as garbage and bacteria, so they need to be cleaned regularly.

[0003] An automatic pool cleaner is a pool cleaning device that can replace manual labor. To collect debris from the pool, the robot typically has an internal filtration system to filter and collect debris such as leaves and hair. When the robot operates, the internal equipment creates negative pressure, drawing water in through the inlet. After impurities are filtered out, the water exits through the filtration system. Debris accumulates inside the filtration system and needs to be cleaned regularly. The filtration system filters the water entering the pool, and the clean water then enters the pool.

[0004] Existing automatic pool cleaning machines cannot eliminate common viruses and bacteria in pools. Users need to add disinfectant or disinfectant powder to the pool for disinfection, which wastes manpower. Moreover, this method is difficult to disinfect the pool evenly because the pool is large and it is difficult to mix the disinfectant evenly, which reduces the efficiency of disinfection. Based on this, we propose a filter unit with disinfection and sterilization function and an automatic pool cleaning machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the issue that existing automatic pool cleaners cannot effectively disinfect common viruses and bacteria in pools, requiring users to add disinfectant or disinfectant powder to the pool, which wastes manpower, this invention provides a filter unit with disinfection and sterilization functions and an automatic pool cleaner.

[0006] This utility model provides a filter unit with disinfection and sterilization functions and an automatic swimming pool cleaner, adopting the following technical solution:

[0007] A filter unit with disinfection and sterilization function includes a mounting frame and a disinfection and sterilization component. The mounting frame is provided with a water inlet area and a disinfection and sterilization component installation area.

[0008] It also includes a filter element, wherein the water inlet area includes a water inlet compartment, and the filter element is located inside the water inlet area of ​​the mounting bracket;

[0009] The interior of the sterilization and disinfection component installation area is hollow, forming a cavity. The sterilization and disinfection component is located inside the cavity. The sterilization and disinfection component installation area is provided with an opening, and the opening communicates with the cavity.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting rack is divided into two areas: a water inlet area and a disinfection and sterilization component installation area. This fully utilizes the space of the mounting rack, prevents impurities that quickly pass through the mounting rack from adhering to the disinfection and sterilization components, and further prevents the disinfection and sterilization effect of the components from weakening. Flowing water enters the cavity and comes into contact with the disinfection and sterilization material inside the capsule through the opening. The water dissolves the disinfection and sterilization material, and the disinfection and sterilization material disinfects the water. There is no need to manually add disinfectant to the pool for disinfection.

[0011] Optionally, the filter element has filter holes, and the filter element is preferably a sponge.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the sponge filter element can better filter out fine particles in the water.

[0013] Optionally, the disinfection and sterilization component includes a capsule body and a disinfection and sterilization material, wherein the disinfection and sterilization material is located inside the capsule body, and the capsule body has an elongated hole.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, water comes into contact with the disinfection and sterilization material inside the capsule through the elongated hole, and the disinfection and sterilization material disinfects and sterilizes the water.

[0015] Optionally, the disinfection and sterilization material is silver ion antibacterial particles, and the silver ion antibacterial particles are water-soluble silver ion antibacterial particles.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the odor of the aqueous solution is reduced, and the water-soluble silver ion particles are easy to use, have low installation costs, do not require circuits or special protection, and have a significant and fast sterilization effect.

[0017] Optionally, the mounting bracket includes a first bracket and a second bracket, which are connected by a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easy to disassemble and assemble the mounting bracket, and convenient to insert the filter element and sterilization component.

[0019] Automatic pool cleaner, including the aforementioned filter unit with disinfection and sterilization function.

[0020] Optionally, it also includes a large debris filter unit, an inlet, and an outlet. The filter holes of the large debris filter unit are larger than those of the filter unit with disinfection and sterilization function. The large debris filter unit is closer to the inlet than the filter unit with disinfection and sterilization function, and the filter unit with disinfection and sterilization function is closer to the outlet than the large debris filter unit.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the water first passes through the large debris filtration unit, and then through the filtration unit with disinfection and sterilization function. The large debris filtration unit can prevent large particles of debris from clogging the large-diameter filter holes of the large debris filtration unit and speed up the filtration speed. The filtration unit with disinfection and sterilization function can filter out small particles of debris with small pore size. In this way, both cleanliness and filtration speed are taken into account.

[0022] Optionally, the sterilization and disinfection component installation area is closer to the water inlet than the water inlet area.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, small debris can be prevented from falling and accumulating on the disinfection and sterilization components.

[0024] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0025] By dividing the mounting rack into two areas—a water inlet area and a disinfection and sterilization component installation area—the space of the mounting rack is fully utilized. Simultaneously, through the coordinated design of the capsule body, cavity, and opening, water enters the cavity through the opening and comes into contact with the disinfection and sterilization component. The component then disinfects the water, eliminating the need for manual addition of disinfectant to the pool. As the automatic pool cleaner moves, it can evenly release disinfectant into the pool.

[0026] The mounting frame is formed by snapping together the first and second frames, which makes it easy to disassemble and assemble the mounting frame, and thus easy to insert the filter element and sterilization component. Attached Figure Description
