Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a swimming pool cleaning robot, and more particularly to a replaceable battery mechanism for a swimming pool cleaning robot. Background Technology

[0002] Pool robots are devices that operate in swimming pools to collect and clean up foreign objects. They are powered by batteries. Because the water resistance is significant when the robot is moving and cleaning, its internal batteries are usually operating at high power. However, the batteries in existing pool cleaning robots are generally hidden and fixed inside the shell. As the robot works over time, the performance of the battery system gradually decreases. Especially when water leakage or battery aging occurs, the entire robot needs to be disassembled to replace the battery, making maintenance cumbersome. Moreover, these maintenance tasks can easily cause poor sealing of the robot shell, which in turn affects the robot's performance and lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a replaceable battery mechanism that is convenient for disassembling and replacing batteries and does not require the overall disassembly of the pool cleaning robot, in order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0005] A replaceable battery mechanism for a pool cleaning robot includes a bottom shell and a battery module. The bottom shell contains a battery compartment, and the bottom of the bottom shell has a battery mounting port corresponding to the battery compartment. The battery module includes an inner shell, a base plate, and a battery. A U-shaped groove is formed on the top surface of the base plate, and a U-shaped protrusion is formed on the opening edge of the lower end of the inner shell. The U-shaped protrusion is inserted into the U-shaped groove and the two are sealed together. The battery is fixed in the cavity formed by the inner shell and the base plate. The edge of the base plate has a cover extending outward relative to the U-shaped groove. The inner shell is inserted into the battery compartment, and the cover covers the edge of the battery mounting port. The cover and the bottom shell are fixedly connected by screws and are sealed together.

[0006] Preferably, at least one side of the inner shell is formed with a stepped opening, and the bottom or side of the stepped opening is provided with a mounting hole for installing an electrical connector.

[0007] Preferably, the edge of the base plate has a plurality of outwardly protruding fixing lugs, and the edge of the battery mounting port has a plurality of lug slots, the fixing lugs and the lug slots are corresponding one to one, and the fixing lugs are engaged in the lug slots.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing lug has a screw hole, and the fixing lug is fixedly connected to the edge of the battery mounting port by a screw passing through the screw hole.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom surface of the base plate is flush with the bottom surface of the bottom shell.

[0010] Preferably, the battery compartment is provided with a waterproof power cord that is connected to the battery.

[0011] In the replaceable battery mechanism of the pool cleaning robot disclosed in this utility model, the bottom shell has a sealed battery compartment. The inner shell portion of the battery module is inserted into the battery compartment through the battery mounting port. Simultaneously, the cover portion is fixedly connected to the bottom shell with screws. The battery module is a sealed module. The inner shell and the bottom plate are matched by the interlocking of the U-shaped protrusion and the U-shaped groove, which not only ensures reliable fixation but also guarantees good airtightness of the cavity formed by the inner shell and the bottom plate, thus protecting the battery. When the battery performance deteriorates, the battery module can be disassembled simply by removing the screws of the cover portion. The assembly process is equally simple and convenient. Battery maintenance does not require disassembling the robot's casing, avoiding water seepage or leakage caused by disassembly operations, thus better meeting application requirements.
