Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of swimming pool cleaning equipment, and more specifically to a trash can for a swimming pool machine and the swimming pool machine itself. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional pool cleaning machines, also known as pool robots, have a suction port at the bottom of the robot. When in operation, a suction fan in the internal cavity of the robot generates suction, drawing pool water into the robot through the suction port. Debris is trapped in the trash can, and the water is discharged from the outlet, thus achieving the purpose of collecting pool debris.

[0003] In related technologies, such as Chinese Patent (Publication No. CN117403943A, Publication Date 2024.01.16) discloses a swimming pool cleaning robot, which describes a filter component, i.e. a trash can. The specific filter component includes a filter bracket, a filter screen and a first cover. The filter bracket defines a frame with a filter, the filter screen is set on the filter bracket, and the first cover is set on the side of the filter bracket facing the inlet, and the first cover has an inlet that communicates with the receiving cavity.

[0004] However, this type of filter assembly only has a filter screen on the outer wall of the filter bracket, and its filtration capacity is not good. Especially when cleaning a dirty pool, mud and other debris can easily clog the filter screen. A clogged filter screen will affect the suction force generated by the suction fan in the receiving cavity, causing the robot to be unable to suck in new debris from the suction port, thus affecting the cleaning efficiency and effect of the pool machine.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a pool machine trash can and pool machine that can increase the filtration capacity of the trash can, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and effect of the pool machine, is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a trash can for a swimming pool machine and the swimming pool machine itself. This trash can, by adding an additional filter element, increases its filtration capacity, thus significantly improving the cleaning efficiency and effectiveness of the swimming pool machine.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A trash can for a swimming pool machine includes:

[0009] The filter trash can body;

[0010] The filter elements, which are multiple in number, are all placed inside the filter trash can body to increase the filtration capacity of the filter trash can body.

[0011] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a trash can for a swimming pool machine. By adding multiple additional filter elements inside the trash can body, the filtration capacity of the trash can can be increased, enabling the trash can to filter relatively dirty pool water and avoiding the problem of existing trash cans being easily clogged due to insufficient filtration capacity.

[0012] Furthermore, the filter trash can body includes: a first frame and a first filter screen. The internal space of the first frame is a first filter chamber. The top of the first frame has a trash dumping opening communicating with the first filter chamber. The front side and left and right side surfaces of the outer peripheral wall of the first frame have multiple first filter holes communicating with the first filter chamber, and each first filter hole is provided with a first filter screen. The rear side surface of the outer peripheral wall of the first frame has multiple mounting holes communicating with the first filter chamber, and each mounting hole can be detachably installed with the filter element.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the mounting holes includes two recessed mounting holes arranged vertically at intervals, and a cross brace is provided on the rear sidewall of the first frame between the two recessed mounting holes. Each filter element includes a mounting plate and two second frames.

[0014] The mounting plate is detachably connected to the cross brace. The mounting plate has two second filter holes, and the second filter holes are provided with second filter screens.

[0015] Both second frames are U-shaped frames, with their open sides fixed at intervals on one side of the mounting plate. The two second frames are respectively inserted into the two embedded mounting holes, and the internal space of the two second frames is a second filter chamber. The front side wall of the second frame is provided with a communication hole that communicates with both the first filter chamber and the second filter chamber. The peripheral side wall of the second frame is provided with a plurality of third filter holes, and a third filter screen is provided on the third filter holes.

[0016] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the first filter screen on the first frame, the third filter screen on the second frame, and the second filter screen on the mounting plate can filter the sewage in the pool. The garbage in the sewage is trapped in the first and second filter chambers. That is, by adding a third filter screen on the basis of the first filter screen, the garbage can is equivalent to increasing the filtration area of ​​the garbage can, thereby increasing the filtration capacity of the garbage can. Moreover, the mounting plate and the cross brace are installed in a detachable manner, which allows the mounting plate to be removed from the cross brace, making it convenient to clean the garbage inside the second frame separately.

[0017] Furthermore, an iron sheet is embedded in the cross brace, and a magnet is embedded in the mounting plate, with the magnet magnetically connected to the iron sheet.

[0018] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the magnetic installation method enables quick assembly and disassembly of the mounting plate. During installation, the second frame is inserted into the embedded mounting hole, and the mounting plate is fixed to the cross brace by the attraction of the magnet and the iron sheet. During disassembly and cleaning, the second frame can be pulled out from the embedded mounting hole, making the operation extremely convenient.

[0019] Furthermore, the bottom end of the first frame has a garbage suction port that communicates with the first filter chamber.

[0020] Furthermore, the first frame is provided with a channel for waste to enter the first filter chamber, the lower opening of the channel is connected to and communicates with the waste suction port, and the upper opening of the channel is connected to the first filter chamber.

[0021] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the setting of the channel can isolate the garbage suction inlet from the first filter chamber, preventing garbage from entering the first filter chamber and accumulating at the garbage suction inlet, thus affecting the suction of external garbage.

[0022] This utility model provides a swimming pool machine, including: a robot body and a trash can of the swimming pool machine. The robot body has a suction chamber inside. The bottom and top of the robot body are respectively provided with a water inlet and a drain outlet communicating with the suction chamber. The trash can body is placed in the suction chamber. The trash inlet is connected to the water inlet. A suction fan is provided in the suction chamber near the drain outlet.

[0023] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: The suction fan generates suction within the suction chamber, drawing pool wastewater through the garbage inlet into the chamber. Garbage in the wastewater is trapped in the garbage bin, and the filtered water is discharged from the drain outlet, thus achieving the purpose of collecting pool garbage. The addition of a filter element to the garbage bin increases its filtration capacity, enabling it to filter even heavily soiled pool water and avoiding the problem of existing garbage bins becoming clogged due to insufficient filtration capacity, which affects the robot's suction capabilities.

[0024] Furthermore, the top of the robot body has an outlet for removing the filter trash can body, and a housing cover for closing the outlet is hinged to the first frame on one side of the trash dumping opening, and the housing cover is provided with a handle.

[0025] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that when it is necessary to clean the trash can, the trash can can be taken out from the suction chamber by lifting the shell cover upward by the handle.

[0026] Furthermore, the first frame is provided with a snap button on the other side of the garbage dumping opening, and the snap button is engaged with the housing cover.

[0027] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: after the trash can is removed, the shell cover can be opened by the buckle button, so that the trash inside the trash can can be poured out through the trash dumping opening, thus cleaning the trash inside the trash can. In addition, the filter can be removed from the mounting hole, which not only makes it easier for the trash in the trash can to be discharged through the mounting hole, but also makes it easier to clean the removed filter separately.

[0028] Furthermore, the latching button includes:

[0029] A spring, one end of which is fixed to the outer wall of the first frame on the other side of the garbage dumping opening;

[0030] The press-fit plate has one side fixedly connected to the other end of the spring. The bottom of the press-fit plate is a pressing part, and the top of the press-fit plate is provided with a hook part, which engages with the locking hole part on the housing cover.

[0031] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: When it is necessary to open the shell cover to empty the trash can, press down on the pressing part of the snap-fit ​​plate by hand. The snap-fit ​​hook part of the pressing plate disengages from the snap-fit ​​hole on the shell cover, thus opening the shell cover. Then, empty the trash can to empty the trash inside. After the trash can is emptied, close the shell cover again, allowing the snap-fit ​​hook part to re-engage with the snap-fit ​​hole, thus securing the shell cover stably on the trash opening. Therefore, the snap-fit ​​button design improves the convenience of opening and closing the shell cover. Attached Figure Description
