Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent underwater equipment technology, especially swimming pool cleaning technology, and more specifically, to a garbage bin and swimming pool robot. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of global technological innovation and high-end manufacturing, robotics has been widely applied in various fields, especially in smart homes, where robots are gradually becoming important tools for improving convenience and comfort. In the field of pool cleaning technology, pool robots, with their autonomous movement and efficient cleaning capabilities, are gaining increasing popularity among users. They can penetrate underwater to quickly clean dirt and debris from the bottom and walls of the pool, providing an efficient and convenient solution for daily pool maintenance.
[0003] However, existing pool robots still face several unresolved issues in practical use. One key problem is the design of the filtration system. Currently, most pool robots have relatively simple filter functions, unable to flexibly adjust the filtration intensity according to the complexity of the pool environment. For example, when there is a lot of trash in the pool, the robot needs to collect large pieces of trash first, then smaller pieces; otherwise, the filter will frequently become clogged, requiring the robot to frequently go ashore to clean up the trash, significantly reducing cleaning efficiency.
[0004] For example, Chinese invention patent CN202311099529.9, published on February 28, 2025, includes a first filter chamber, a second filter chamber, a first one-way valve, and a second one-way valve. The first filter chamber has a first inlet connected to the outside, and the second filter chamber has a second inlet connected to the first filter chamber. The first one-way valve is located at the first inlet, and the second one-way valve is located at the second inlet. External water flows into the first filter chamber through the first inlet, and water in the first filter chamber flows into the second filter chamber through the second inlet. The first one-way valve is used to unilaterally open or close the first inlet, and the second one-way valve is used to unilaterally open or close the second inlet. The purpose of this dual-filter chamber design is to prevent the filter screen from easily clogging.
[0005] However, when dealing with different types of waste, there is often a lack of targeted filtration strategies. For example, for larger debris such as leaves and plastic bags, the filter mesh may be too small, preventing the debris from passing through smoothly; while for fine particles such as sand and algae, the filter mesh may be too large, failing to filter them effectively and thus affecting the cleaning effect of the pool. This single filtration function not only limits the applicability of pool robots but also increases the maintenance costs for users. Utility Model Content
[0006] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a waste bin and swimming pool robot to solve the problem of easy adjustment of the filtration function of existing swimming pool robots.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is to provide a waste bin, which is installed in the processing chamber inside the swimming pool robot. It includes a hollow bin body, and a water inlet is formed at the bottom of the bin body. The water inlet is connected to the suction port of the swimming pool robot.
[0008] One side of the chamber is open, and a filter frame is detachably installed on the open side of the chamber. A first filter screen is detachably laid on the open side of the chamber, and a second filter screen is detachably installed on the filter frame. A first filtration space is formed inside the chamber. The filter frame and the open side of the chamber enclose a second filtration space. The aperture of the second filter screen is smaller than that of the first filter screen.
[0009] In one embodiment, the second filter screen is mounted on the filter frame via an installation component, making it convenient for staff to clean or replace the second filter screen.
[0010] In one method, a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the filter frame and the bin body to prevent liquid leakage from the waste bin.
[0011] In some embodiments, the filter frame is slidably connected to the chamber via a limiting component. The limiting component allows the filter frame to slide on the chamber, making it easy to remove the filter frame from the chamber and to clean the filter frame.
[0012] In one embodiment, the limiting component includes a slide rail disposed on the chamber body, and a limiting block is formed at one end of the filter frame near the chamber body. The slide rail is slidably disposed within the limiting block, so that the filter frame slides on the chamber body via the limiting block and the slide rail.
[0013] In some embodiments, the filter frame is rotatably connected to the bin body via a connector, so that the filter frame will not fall off the bin body when the worker cleans or replaces the second filter screen, thereby improving the practicality of the waste bin.
[0014] A pool robot for cleaning pools is characterized by comprising a body, a processing chamber formed within the body, a suction port communicating with the processing chamber at the bottom of the body, a drain port communicating with the processing chamber at the side and / or top of the body, and a waste bin as described above within the processing chamber.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] This utility model provides a garbage bin and swimming pool robot. Through the setting of a filter frame, a first filter space and a second filter space are formed. Different types of garbage can be filtered in different filter spaces. While preventing blockage in the garbage bin, the garbage bin can filter garbage with different pore sizes. Furthermore, by changing the relative position of the filter frame and the bin body, the garbage in the second filter space can be easily poured out of the garbage bin. Moreover, by replacing different first and second filter screens, the garbage bin can further filter garbage with different pore sizes. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this invention. To better illustrate the following embodiments, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a swimming pool robot for cleaning swimming pools, including a body 100, a processing chamber 103 formed inside the body 100, a suction port 101 communicating with the processing chamber 103 at the bottom of the body 100, and a drain port 102 communicating with the processing chamber 103 at the side and / or top of the body 100. A garbage bin is provided inside the processing chamber 103. The garbage bin treats the water entering the processing chamber 103 through the suction port 101 and leaves the garbage in the garbage bin. The treated water continues to be discharged from the processing chamber 103 through the drain port 102.
[0025] Example 2
[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a waste bin, which is installed inside the aforementioned swimming pool robot. It includes a hollow bin body 200, and a water inlet 201 is formed at the bottom of the bin body 200. The water inlet 201 is connected to the suction port 101 of the body 100.
[0027] One side of the chamber 200 is open, and a filter frame 300 is detachably installed on the open side of the chamber 200. A first filter screen 202 is detachably laid on the open side of the chamber 200 (for example, it can be installed inside the chamber 200 by clips, Velcro, or screws). A second filter screen 301 is detachably installed on the filter frame 300. A first filtration space 203 is formed inside the chamber 200. The filter frame 300 and the open side of the chamber 200 enclose a second filtration space 204. The aperture of the second filter screen 301 is... Water with a diameter smaller than that of the first filter screen 202 enters the chamber 200 through the inlet 201. Debris larger than the diameter of the first filter screen 202 is collected in the first filtration space 203, while debris smaller than the diameter of the first filter screen 202 flows out of the first filter screen 202. Debris larger than the diameter of the second filter screen 301 is collected a second time in the second filtration space 204 when it encounters the second filter screen 301. This method avoids clogging the holes and collects both coarse and fine debris, thus improving cleaning efficiency.
[0028] To make it easier for staff to clean or replace the second filter screen 301, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the second filter screen 301 is mounted on the filter frame 300 by bolts, clips and other mounting components.
[0029] To prevent liquid leakage from the waste bin, in a preferred embodiment of this invention, a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the filter frame 300 and the bin body 200.
[0030] Example 3
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the filter frame 300 is slidably connected to the chamber 200 through the limiting component 400. The limiting component 400 allows the filter frame 300 to slide on the chamber 200, making it convenient to remove the filter frame 300 from the chamber 200 and to clean the filter frame 300.
[0032] The limiting component 400 includes a slide rail 401 disposed on the chamber 200. A limiting block 302 is formed at one end of the filter frame 300 near the chamber 200. The slide rail 401 is slidably disposed in the limiting block 302, so that the filter frame 300 slides on the chamber 200 through the limiting block 302 and the slide rail 401.
[0033] Other solutions are consistent with Embodiment 1 and have the same technical effects as Embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0034] Example 4
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the filter frame 300 is rotatably connected to the bin body 200 via hinges, other connecting parts 500, so that the filter frame 300 will not fall off the bin body 200 when the staff cleans or replaces the second filter screen 301, thereby improving the practicality of the waste bin.
[0036] Other solutions are consistent with Embodiment 1 and have the same technical effects as Embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0037] The waste bin and pool robot, through the set filter frame 300, forms a first filter space 203 and a second filter space 204. Different types of waste can be filtered in different filter spaces. While preventing blockage in the waste bin, it allows the waste bin to filter waste of different pore sizes. Furthermore, by changing the relative position of the filter frame 300 and the bin body 200, the waste in the second filter space 204 can be easily emptied from the waste bin. Moreover, by replacing different first filter screens 202 and second filter screens 301, the waste bin can further filter waste of different pore sizes.
[0038] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the specific implementation of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the claims of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
