[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0025] With increasing environmental awareness, the application of pool cleaning robots is becoming more and more widespread. These robots are mainly responsible for cleaning the surface, bottom, and walls of the pool to maintain water quality and protect the aquatic environment. However, the robots can no longer work after accumulating a certain amount of garbage. Therefore, in actual use, users still need to manually collect the garbage, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application proposes a water tank cleaning and recycling system 100. The system includes a water tank cleaning device 1, a base station 2, and a collection device 3, with the base station 2 and collection device 3 connected. The water tank cleaning device 1 has a first dirty water containing space I for collecting the waste collected by the device. The collection device 3 and / or the base station 2 have a pump device 4 inside. When the water tank cleaning device 1 and the base station 2 are connected, the pump device 4 is used to recycle the waste in the first dirty water containing space I into the collection device 3.
[0027] The water tank cleaning device 1 is provided with a first dirty storage space I and a discharge outlet connected to the first dirty storage space I. The water tank cleaning device 1 has a docking state and a disconnected state. In the docking state, the water tank cleaning device 1 moves close to the base station 2 and connects to the base station 2 through the discharge outlet so that the garbage in the first dirty storage space I can be discharged from the water tank cleaning device 1 and transferred to the collection device 3 by the base station 2. In the disconnected state, the channel between the discharge outlet of the water tank cleaning device 1 and the base station 2 is closed to prevent the leakage of garbage.
[0028] In actual operation, when the first dirty storage space I is full of garbage or reaches a certain threshold, the water tank cleaning device 1 moves towards the base station 2 so that its outlet connects with the base station 2. During this process, the water tank cleaning device 1 is connected to the base station 2 through the outlet, and the pump device 4 is activated to collect the garbage in the first dirty storage space I into the collection device 3. This facilitates the collection of garbage in the first dirty storage space I, allowing the water tank cleaning device 1 to resume its garbage collection state more quickly. After the garbage is emptied, the water tank cleaning device 1 separates from the base station 2. At this time, the channel between the outlet and the base station is closed, thereby realizing automated cleaning and recycling of garbage on the water surface. This effectively improves the operating efficiency of the water tank cleaning and recycling system 100 and effectively ensures the efficiency and quality of cleaning.
[0029] Please refer to Figures 2 to 3 In some embodiments, the collection device 3 includes a filter assembly 31 and a second dirt-containing space II that are interconnected. The filter assembly 31 is used to filter liquid in the waste. The pump device 4 is used to pump the waste in the first dirt-containing space I to the filter assembly 31 through the connecting pipe 21, so that the waste reaches the second dirt-containing space II after being filtered by the filter assembly 31.
[0030] Specifically, the collection device 3 also includes two components. A filter assembly 31 separates liquid from the waste, ensuring that only solid waste is stored in the second dirty containment space II. The second dirty containment space II is the final storage space for the filtered waste (mainly solid). In actual operation, after the pool cleaning device 1 completes its cleaning task and connects to the base station 2, the pump device 4 starts. The pump device 4 transports the mixture (including waste and liquid) in the first dirty containment space I of the pool cleaning device 1 through the connecting pipe 21 to the filter assembly 31 in the collection device 3. In the filter assembly 31, the liquid and solid waste are separated. The liquid portion is treated and discharged, while the solid waste continues to move to the second dirty containment space II. The filtered solid waste is ultimately stored in the second dirty containment space II, awaiting subsequent processing or cleaning.
[0031] The filter assembly 31 and the second filth containment space II improve waste treatment efficiency and reduce the impact of liquid in the waste on other parts of the pool cleaning and recycling system 100, helping to extend the system's lifespan and reduce maintenance requirements. Removing the liquid portion also ensures that as much solid waste as possible can be contained within the limited second filth containment space II, thereby increasing the solid waste volume utilization rate.
[0032] In some of these embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 3The base station 2 includes a connecting pipe 21, which is connected to the collection device 3. When the water tank cleaning device 1 is docked with the base station 2, the connecting pipe 21 connects the base station 2 and the collection device 3. The connecting pipe 21 passes through the collection port 32 of the collection device 3 and connects to the filter assembly 31. It is understood that the base station 2 contains one or more connecting pipes 21, which are used to establish a connection between the water tank cleaning device 1 and the base station 2 when they are docked, and also directly connect to the collection device 3. When the water tank cleaning device 1 is docked with the base station 2, the connecting pipe 21 connects to the filter assembly 31 through the collection port 32 of the collection device 3, forming a complete waste transport path.
[0033] In other embodiments, a pump device 4 is provided inside the base station 2 or in its connected portion, which is responsible for pumping out the garbage in the first dirty storage space I.
[0034] In practical operation, when the pool cleaning device 1 completes its cleaning task and returns to the base station 2, it docks with the base station 2. At this time, the connecting pipe 21 automatically docks with the first dirty storage space I of the pool cleaning device 1 and connects to the collection port 32 of the collection device 3. The pump device 4 starts to draw the garbage and liquid in the first dirty storage space I into the collection device 3 through the connecting pipe 21. The connecting pipe 21 passes through the collection port 32 of the collection device 3 and directly guides the garbage to the filter component 31. In the filter component 31, the liquid in the garbage is separated, and the solid garbage continues to move to the second dirty storage space II for storage. The filtered solid garbage is stored in the second dirty storage space II, waiting for subsequent processing or cleaning. Through direct connection and automated operation, efficient transfer of garbage from the pool cleaning device 1 to the collection device 3 is ensured. The design of the filter component 31 enables effective separation of liquid, reduces the volume of solid garbage, and facilitates subsequent processing. Because the entire pool cleaning and recycling system 100 is compact and highly automated, the need for manual intervention is reduced, and the maintenance difficulty is lowered.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 2At least a portion of the collection port 32 extends beyond the waterline 02. In the embodiments of this application, there are two scenarios. In the first scenario, the collection port 32 is entirely located on the water surface. Therefore, even if the collection port 32 is always open, no water will enter, simplifying the sealing of the collection device 3. There is no need to worry about water entering the collection device 3 and damaging the internal electronic components. Furthermore, the collection port 32 located on the water surface can, to some extent, prevent underwater debris, such as fish and aquatic plants, from being accidentally sucked in. This arrangement can, to a certain extent, prevent the accidental inhalation of aquatic organisms, reducing the potential impact on the aquatic ecosystem. If the collection port 32 is entirely located on the water surface, the aforementioned arrangement of the collection port 32 near the waterline 02 can be such that the distance between the collection port 32 and the waterline 02 is within a first preset range. The first preset range can be flexibly designed according to actual needs. For example, the first preset range can be 0–10 cm, 0–15 cm, or 0–20 cm.
[0036] Furthermore, in the second scenario, part of the collection port 32 is located above the water surface, while another part is below. In practical applications, even when the collection device 3 and the pool cleaning device 1 are not connected via the base station 2, the collection port 32 of the collection device 3 can still be open, directly capturing floating debris. Some of this surface debris, such as lightweight waste like plastic bags and paper, typically floats with the current, and the collection port 32 effectively collects this. The portion of the collection port 32 located below the water surface collects partially floating or slightly submerged debris, allowing for more effective collection of different types of surface debris. The combination of the surface and underwater portions of the collection port 32 creates a larger collection area, extending beyond the surface to include submerged areas. This helps the collection device 3 collect surface debris more comprehensively, reducing omissions and blind spots.
[0037] Correspondingly, in some embodiments, the collection port 32 is located below the waterline 02. In practice, the water level in some pools fluctuates significantly. Having the collection port 32 below the waterline 02 allows it to adapt to areas with large water level fluctuations, ensuring that the collection port 32 can effectively collect waste from the pool cleaning device 1 at different water levels, thereby improving the adaptability and stability of the collection device 3. If the collection port 32 is entirely above the water surface, the distance between the collection port 32 and the waterline 02 can be within a second preset range. This second preset range can be flexibly designed according to actual needs. For example, the second preset range can be: 0–10cm, 0–15cm, or 0–20cm.
[0038] In some embodiments, the pool surface filtration device 5 is a pool skimmer.
[0039] In some of these embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 At least a portion of the collection device 3 is disposed within the surface filtration device 5 of the pool. The surface filtration device 5 includes a filter port 51 located on the side wall 01 of the pool and an internal space of the side wall 01 communicating with the filter port 51. The filter port 51 in the surface filtration device 5 is used to capture floating and suspended matter on the surface of the pool. This debris enters the internal space of the side wall 01 of the pool through the filter port 51 for initial collection. A portion of the collection device 3 is directly disposed within the surface filtration device 5, enabling rapid transfer of the debris collected by the filter port 51 into the collection device 3.
[0040] By setting up the surface filtration device 5, not only can the garbage inside the pool be cleaned, but also floating and suspended matter on the surface of the pool can be effectively treated, ensuring the overall cleanliness of the pool. Furthermore, by integrating the surface filtration device 5 with the collection device 3, the complexity of the system and maintenance costs are reduced. Through multi-stage filtration (the surface filtration device 5 and the filter components 31 in the collection device 3), effective separation and treatment of garbage are achieved.
[0041] In the above embodiments, the water tank surface filtration device 5 includes a collection box 34 (i.e., a filter assembly 31) and an internal space (second dirt-containing space II) inside the water tank side wall 01. After the water tank cleaning device 1 and the base station 2 are connected, the base station 2 is connected to the collection box 34 through a connecting pipe from the filter port 51. After filtration by the collection box 34, the filtered water is discharged or subjected to subsequent treatment, and the filtered waste is stored in the collection box 34 (second dirt-containing space II). A receiving cavity is formed inside the housing 33, which is connected to the filter port 51. The collection device 3 includes a collection port 32 connected to the receiving cavity. The collection box 34 is located inside the receiving cavity and forms the second dirt-containing space II. The collection box 34 is detachably connected to the housing 33. Specifically, the shell 33 is hollow and has a receiving cavity for accommodating the collection box 34 and other components. The receiving cavity is also connected to the filter port 51. In the embodiments of this application, the collection box 34 has a second dirt-containing space II. The second dirt-containing space II can be used to collect and store garbage entering from the collection port 32. The size and shape of the second dirt-containing space II can be set according to actual needs. This application does not impose any restrictions on this, so that it can adapt to different types of garbage collection.
[0042] In addition, the collection box 34 is detachably connected to the housing 33. This design facilitates the cleaning and replacement of the collection box 34. When the collection box 34 is full of garbage, it can be disassembled and removed to clean the garbage and reuse it, or the collection box 34 can be replaced directly. This enables the rapid processing of the collection box 34 when it is full of garbage, reduces the time it takes for the collection box 34 to process garbage, and thus speeds up the garbage cleaning efficiency of the collection device 3.
[0043] Correspondingly, the housing 33 is provided with an opening communicating with the receiving cavity, and the water tank surface filtration system 5 also includes a cover 35, which covers the opening and is detachably connected to the housing 33. To facilitate the removal of the collection box 34 from the housing 33, the housing 33 is provided with an opening, and the cover 35 is located at the opening and can move relative to the housing 33 to open or close the opening. In some embodiments, the opening is positioned directly opposite the collection box 34. Opening the cover 35 to expose the opening facilitates the removal of the collection box 34 from the receiving cavity and also facilitates the return of a cleaned or new collection box 34 to the receiving cavity. Moving the cover 35 to close the opening also seals the receiving cavity, reducing odors emitted from the waste.
[0044] In some other embodiments, the collection box 34 is connected to a waste discharge channel, which is directly connected to the outside. When the volume of waste accumulated in the collection box 34 increases to a certain range or the weight of the waste reaches a certain level, the waste discharge channel opens. The waste discharge channel is also connected to a suction mechanism, which can suck out the waste from the collection box 34 until the volume of waste in the collection box 34 is reduced to a predetermined volume or the weight of the waste is reduced to a predetermined weight. Then, the waste discharge channel closes, allowing the collection box 34 to continue collecting waste. This method enables full automation of the waste collection process, requiring no manual intervention and achieving a higher level of intelligence.
[0045] In the above embodiments, in order to realize the detachable setting of the collection box 34, the collection box 34 and the housing 33 are also detachably connected. In actual operation, it is necessary to first disconnect the connection between the connecting pipe 21 and the collection box 34, and then remove the collection box 34 from the housing 33, so as to achieve the cleaning and replacement of the collection box 34.
[0046] In other embodiments, when the collection device 3 can be connected to the pool cleaning device 1, the waste can be transported in other ways, such as using a push rod to move the waste along the first dirty space I to the second dirty space II, or using a conveyor belt to transport the waste along the first dirty space I to the second dirty space II. As long as the waste transport effect can be achieved, this application does not impose any restrictions.
[0047] Specifically, a one-way valve is installed on the connecting pipe 21. The one-way valve is used to allow the garbage to move from the discharge port to the collection port 32 under the action of the pump device 4. The one-way valve can control the direction of garbage transportation to be from the first dirty storage space I to the second dirty storage space II, thereby reducing the situation of garbage backflow or reflux and maintaining the smooth operation of the system. More importantly, the one-way valve at the connecting pipe 21 can reduce the garbage residue in the first dirty storage space I, thereby ensuring that the amount of garbage that the pool cleaning device 1 can collect at one time can be maintained within a high range, improving the collection efficiency of the system.
[0048] Since the pool cleaning device 1 is used to collect garbage in the water, the collected garbage contains a certain amount of water. In the embodiments of this application, the collection box 34 is provided with a mesh. The mesh on the collection box 34 can be used to filter out the water on the garbage, thereby removing the volume of the collection box 34 occupied by the water on the garbage, so that the collection box 34 can collect more garbage at a time and reduce the frequency of replacement of the collection box 34.
[0049] like Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the collection device 3 is a floating device. It is understood that the floating device includes a float connected to the collection device 3, which propels the collection device 3 to float at the waterline 02. The float connects to the collection device 3, allowing it to float naturally with the rise and fall of the water level, eliminating the need for manual observation or machine detection to adjust its position, thus effectively improving the adaptability and convenience of the collection device 3. Furthermore, the collection device 3 can be accurately positioned at the water surface, forming a close working relationship with the pool cleaning device 1, thereby more quickly processing waste in the water.
[0050] Specifically, the floating device is a water surface cleaner. In some of the above embodiments, the collection device 3 is configured as a water surface cleaner. It can be understood that the water surface cleaner can float directly on the water surface to capture floating or suspended objects on the surface of the pool. The water surface cleaner can work in conjunction with the pool cleaning device 1 to achieve comprehensive cleaning of the pool. Furthermore, the functions of garbage collection, filtration, and storage are all concentrated on the water surface cleaner, which simplifies the system structure and reduces maintenance costs.
[0051] In addition, such as Figure 1 In other embodiments, the collection device 3 is fixed to the waterfront and positioned below the waterline 02; or, at least a portion of the collection device 3 is positioned beyond the waterline 02. The collection device 3 is fixed to the waterfront.
[0052] Specifically, the pool cleaning and recycling system 100 of this application further includes a base station 2. At least a portion of the collection device 3 is fixedly installed at the base station 2. The base station 2 is used to fix the collection device 3 to the waterfront. The base station 2 includes a docking pile, which locks or unlocks the pool cleaning device 1 to switch between docking and disengaging states. In the above embodiment, the collection device 3 is fixedly installed at the base station 2, which ensures the stability and reliability of the collection device 3, prevents displacement of the collection device 3, is suitable for use in smaller water areas, and allows the pool cleaning device 1 to easily travel to the collection device 3 and dock with it for waste transfer.
[0053] Specifically, a docking pile is also installed at base station 2. The docking pile is used to lock the water tank cleaning device 1 in place. When the water tank cleaning device 1 approaches base station 2, it can dock with the docking pile so that the water surface device can move to a suitable position. Then, the docking pile locks the water tank cleaning device 1, so that the waste of the water tank cleaning device 1 can be discharged.
[0054] Base station 2 is also equipped with energy storage equipment and charging equipment. The energy storage equipment can be used to charge pump device 4, thereby driving the garbage recycling process. The charging equipment is also used to charge water pool cleaning device 1. Water pool cleaning device 1 is equipped with docking energy storage equipment. The charging equipment and docking energy storage equipment are connected to charge water pool cleaning device 1.
[0055] In practical applications, the water tank cleaning device 1 is brought close to the base station 2 and locked to the docking pile. At this time, the charging equipment can also be connected to the docking energy storage device to charge the docking energy storage device and thus charge the water tank cleaning device 1.
[0056] In some embodiments, the pool cleaning device 1 is a surface cleaner and / or a bottom wall cleaner. This configuration allows the pool cleaning and recycling system 100 to be flexibly configured as needed, handling both floating debris on the pool surface and sediment at the bottom. The surface cleaner is specifically designed to remove floating and suspended matter from the pool surface, while the bottom wall cleaner is specifically designed to remove sediment and debris from the bottom. The pool cleaning and recycling system 100 can choose to use the surface cleaner, the bottom wall cleaner, or a combination of both, to achieve comprehensive cleaning of both the pool surface and bottom. This is particularly suitable for locations requiring high water quality standards, such as public swimming pools, landscape pools, or other environments that require maintaining clean water surfaces and bottoms. It not only improves pool cleaning efficiency but also reduces the need for manual intervention and lowers operating costs.
[0057] Furthermore, to enhance the synergistic effect of the pool cleaning and recycling system 100, the system also includes a signal transmitting component and a signal receiving component. The signal transmitting component emits signals, and the signal receiving component receives signals emitted by the signal transmitting component. One of the signal transmitting and receiving components is installed at the base station 2, and the other is installed at the pool cleaning device 1. The base station 2 and the pool cleaning device 1 are positioned close to each other based on the signals received by the signal receiving component. Specifically, the signal transmitting component can emit signals of a specific frequency or encoding, which can be identified and received by the signal receiving component, enabling communication and coordination between the two components. In this application, the signal transmitting component is installed at one of the base station 2 and the pool cleaning device 1, while the signal receiving component is installed at the other. The specific installation location is not limited, as long as it meets the system design and requirements, but it is necessary to ensure that the signal from the signal transmitting component can cover the range of the signal receiving component.
[0058] In actual operation, when base station 2 and pool cleaning device 1 need to approach each other for waste transfer, the signal transmitting component emits a signal. Upon receiving the signal, the signal receiving component converts it into corresponding instructions or information, triggering the appropriate mechanism on base station 2 or pool cleaning device 1. For example, base station 2 or pool cleaning device 1 may adjust its direction of movement, speed, or path to approach each other more quickly. This allows the pool cleaning and recycling system 100 to more efficiently clean up surface waste.
[0059] Furthermore, the signals emitted by the signal transmitting component include at least one of optical signals, acoustic signals, and electrical signals. Optical signals, transmitted via light waves, offer advantages such as good directionality, high transmission speed, and strong anti-interference capabilities. In the water tank cleaning and recycling system 100, optical signals can be transmitted via laser, infrared, or visible light. Optical signals can be used to achieve precise positioning and distance measurement between the base station 2 and the water tank cleaning device 1. For example, using a laser rangefinder or infrared sensor, the base station 2 and the water tank cleaning device 1 can measure the distance between them in real time and adjust their movement paths and speeds as needed to move closer together. In addition, optical signals can also be used for indication and warning, such as using flashing lights to alert operators or prompt them to avoid the area.
[0060] Correspondingly, acoustic signals are transmitted via sound waves, offering advantages such as long propagation distance and strong penetration. In the water tank cleaning and recycling system 100, acoustic signals can be transmitted in the form of ultrasound, infrasound, or audible sound waves. Acoustic signals can be used to achieve remote communication and positioning between devices. For example, using an ultrasonic sensor, base station 2 and water tank cleaning device 1 can transmit and receive sound wave signals, and calculate their distance and position based on the sound wave reflection time and intensity.
[0061] Furthermore, electrical signals are transmitted via wires or radio electromagnetic waves, offering advantages such as high transmission speed, large information capacity, and ease of processing and storage. In the pool cleaning and recycling system 100, electrical signals are typically transmitted via radio waves (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.). Electrical signals are one of the most widely used signal types in the pool cleaning and recycling system 100. They can be used not only for real-time communication and data transmission between devices (such as waste collection volume, equipment status, work instructions, etc.), but also for controlling equipment operation and collaborative work. For example, through wireless communication technology, base station 2 and pool cleaning device 1 can exchange data in real time and adjust their working status and path planning as needed. In addition, electrical signals can be integrated and linked with other intelligent devices (such as drones, unmanned boats, etc.) to achieve a wider range of water area cleaning and monitoring tasks.
