Description

Technical Field

[0002] Water surface cleaning robots are primarily used to collect and clean up floating debris such as leaves, branches, and other floating objects from rivers, lakes, and swimming pools. Existing water surface cleaning robots typically use solar energy as their power source to move and clean up debris. However, because the current consumption of these robots is relatively low during operation, coupled with the continuous charging of solar panels under sunlight, the electrical energy converted from solar energy cannot be fully utilized. Furthermore, the presence of debris on the water surface usually causes some pollution, but existing water surface cleaning robots cannot purify the water. Therefore, when water purification is needed, additional machinery or manual intervention is required, such as adding chemical agents like chlorine powder, chlorine tablets, or chlorine granules to maintain water quality. This process is cumbersome and significantly increases cleaning costs. Utility Model Content

[0031] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, "several" means one or more, "multiple" means two or more, "greater than," "less than," and "exceeding" are understood to exclude the stated number, while "above," "below," and "within" are understood to include the stated number.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 9This utility model discloses a water surface cleaning robot, including a main body 100, a drive device, a cleaning device, a solar power supply device, a control device 200, and an ion generator 300. The drive device is located on the main body 100 and is used to drive the main body 100 to move. The cleaning device is located on the main body 100 and is used to clean and collect debris, thereby enabling the cleaning robot to move on the water surface and collect floating debris such as leaves, branches, and other floating objects. The solar power supply device is located on the main body 100 and is used to convert solar energy into electrical energy. The control device 200 is located on the main body 100 and is electrically connected to the solar power supply device. The drive device and the cleaning device are both electrically connected to the control device 200. The solar power supply device can supply power to the control device 200, enabling the control device 200 to control the operation of the drive device and the cleaning device. The ion generator 300 is located on the main body 100 and extends downwards below the main body 100. The control device 200 is electrically connected to the ion generator 300 and can control the operation of the ion generator 300.

[0036] In the water surface cleaning robot of this utility model embodiment, the driving device and cleaning device enable the main body 100 to move on the water surface and clean up floating debris such as leaves, branches, and floating objects. By setting an ion generator 300 and extending it downwards below the main body 100, the ion generator 300 can penetrate into the water and purify the water during use. Specifically, when energized, the ion generator 300 can electrolyze and release ions into the water, thereby inhibiting and killing bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms in the water. The control device 200 can control the discharge current intensity of the ion generator 300, thereby controlling the ion content released into the water. The continuous release of ions can create a long-lasting antibacterial environment in the water, ensuring water cleanliness without the need for frequent addition of chemical agents.

[0037] Therefore, the water surface cleaning robot of this embodiment, by incorporating an ion generator 300, allows the main body 100 to not only clean up debris while on the water surface, but also release ions into the water through the ion generator 300 to purify the water. This eliminates the need for additional machines or manual water purification, making it convenient to operate and reducing cleaning costs. Furthermore, the solar power supply device is electrically connected to the ion generator 300 via the control device 200, allowing the electrical energy converted by the solar power supply device to also power the ion generator 300, thus ensuring full utilization of the electrical energy converted by the solar power supply device.

[0038] It is understood that, in addition to being electrically connected to the drive device and the cleaning device, the control device 200 can also be electrically connected to the display, lamps, sensors or other electronic components when the main body 100 is equipped with a display, lamps, sensors or other electronic components to control the operation of other electronic components. This utility model does not make any specific limitations in this regard.

[0039] In some embodiments, in order for the main body 100 to float stably on the water surface, the main body 100 may be made of plastic and / or foam, thereby enabling the water surface cleaning robot to maintain a certain buoyancy during use and preventing the water surface robot from sinking.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, the ion generator 300 includes an anode 310 and a cathode 320, both of which are electrically connected to the control device 200. The anode 310 is disposed on the control device 200 and extends downward relative to the main body 100. The cathode 320 is spirally wound around the outer periphery of the anode 310 along the length direction of the anode 310 and is arranged at intervals from the anode 310.

[0041] In the above structure, the anode 310 can electrolyze and generate cations when energized, while the spiral gap of the cathode 320 provides a flow channel for water and cations, thereby purifying the water through cations. Furthermore, by spirally winding the cathode 320 around the outer periphery of the anode 310, the electric field distribution between the anode 310 and cathode 320 can be made more uniform, reducing the phenomenon of excessively high local current and preventing uneven dissolution of the anode 310. In addition, this structure can increase the surface area of ​​the cathode 320, thereby effectively accelerating the reaction rate and improving the overall electrolysis efficiency of the ion generator 300.

[0042] It is understandable that the aforementioned anode 310 is located in the control device 200, solely for... Figures 1 to 8 As an example, in addition to being disposed on the control device 200, the anode 310 can also be disposed directly on the main body 100 in some embodiments. This utility model does not specifically limit this, as long as the anode 310 is electrically connected to the control device 200.

[0043] Understandably, referring to Figure 9 In some embodiments, in order for the anode 310 and cathode 320 to generate cations by electrolysis when energized, in addition to spirally winding the cathode 320 around the outer periphery of the anode 310, the anode 310 and cathode 320 can also be arranged alternately. This utility model does not make specific limitations on this.

[0044] In some embodiments, the anode 310 is a copper rod, and the cathode 320 is a stainless steel component. Thus, when the anode 310 and cathode 320 are energized, the anode 310 can electrolyze to generate copper ions, and the cathode 320 can receive the copper ions to ensure the normal progress of the electrolytic reaction at the anode 310. When copper ions are dispersed in water, they adsorb onto the negatively charged cell walls of bacteria and algae, penetrate the cell membrane, and bind to key substances such as DNA, RNA, and proteases, disrupting cell metabolism and causing rapid inactivation. This effect is particularly significant on autotrophic bacteria and green algae, effectively killing E. coli and Shigella in the water and preventing the growth of green algae. The continuous release of copper ions creates a long-lasting antibacterial environment in the water, eliminating the need for frequent addition of chemical agents and resulting in cleaner and milder water quality.

[0045] It is understood that the anode 310 can be made of copper rod or copper-silver hybrid rod, and this utility model does not specifically limit it in this regard. The cathode 320 can be made of stainless steel or titanium-based coated electrode, and this utility model does not specifically limit it in this regard either.

[0046] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments, the control device 200 is provided with a first connection terminal 210 and a second connection terminal 220. The anode 310 is disposed on and electrically connected to the first connection terminal 210, and the cathode 320 is disposed on and electrically connected to the second connection terminal 220. This allows the anode 310 and cathode 320 to be directly disposed on and electrically connected to the control device 200, thereby simplifying the connection structure between the control device 200 and the ion generator 300.

[0047] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments, the lower end of the anode 310 is provided with an insulating end cap 330, and the end of the cathode 320 facing away from the control device 200 is connected to or abuts against the insulating end cap 330. Since the cathode 320 is spirally arranged on the outer periphery of the anode 310, it is prone to swaying. By confining the cathode 320 between the insulating end cap 330 and the control device 200, the insulating end cap 330 and the control device 200 can cooperate to clamp and fix the cathode 320, making the installation of the cathode 320 more secure and stable. Furthermore, the insulating end cap 330 can fix the anode 310 and cathode 320 from the end of the anode 310 facing away from the control device 200, which also helps to avoid direct contact and short circuits between the cathode 320 and the anode 310 due to positional misalignment.

[0048] It is understood that the insulating end cap 330 can be a plastic end cap. In addition, the insulating end cap 330 can also be made of rubber, glass or other insulating materials. This utility model does not make any specific limitation in this regard.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In some embodiments, the solar power supply device includes a solar panel 110 and a power module 120 electrically connected. The solar panel 110 is located on the top of the main body 100 and is used to convert solar energy into electrical energy to charge the power module 120. The power module 120 is electrically connected to the control device 200 and supplies power to the control device 200. A voltage regulator and constant current module is electrically connected between the solar panel 110 and the power module 120, and the voltage regulator and constant current module is located in the control device 200. The setting of the voltage regulator and constant current module enables the solar panel 110 to stably charge the power module 120, and the power module 120 can serve as the power source for the water surface cleaning robot to supply power to the control device 200, so as to ensure the normal operation of various electronic components.

[0050] Understandably, when the voltage regulator and constant current module is located in the control device 200, the solar panel 110 can charge the power module 120 through the control device 200. Alternatively, the voltage regulator and constant current module can be directly installed on the power module 120, in which case the solar panel 110 can directly and stably charge the power module 120.

[0051] Reference Figure 8 In some embodiments, the control device 200 includes a control box and a controller 230. The controller 230 is installed inside the control box, and the power module 120 is located inside the control box and electrically connected to the controller 230. This allows the controller 230 and the power module 120 to be protected through the control box. In addition, integrating the controller 230 and the power module 120 into the control box also makes the various components of the water surface cleaning robot more compact and the structure more stable.

[0052] Reference Figure 8 The control box may specifically include a first box body 240 and a second box body 250. The ion generator 300 is disposed on the first box body 240 or the second box body 250. The first box body 240 and the second box body 250 can be sealed together to seal the controller 230 and the power module 120 inside the control box. This can protect the controller 230 and the power module 120 and prevent external liquids from seeping into the control box and affecting the normal operation of the controller 230 and the power module 120.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, the main body 100 is provided with a charging port 130 electrically connected to the power module 120. Thus, in addition to charging the power module 120 through the solar panel 110, an external power source can also be electrically connected to the charging port 130 to charge the power module 120, thereby improving the applicability of the water surface cleaning robot and making it more convenient to use.

[0054] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, the driving device includes two sets of driving components. Each set of driving components includes a propeller 140 disposed on the main body 100 and a first rotary driving mechanism. The first rotary driving mechanism is electrically connected to the control device 200 and is drively connected to the propeller 140, enabling the propeller 140 to rotate. When the two propellers 140 rotate at the same speed, they can drive the main body 100 to move forward. When the two propellers 140 rotate at different speeds, they can drive the main body 100 to turn, thereby enabling the main body 100 to move flexibly on the water surface, making the cleaning of water surface debris more convenient.

[0055] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The propeller 140 is specifically located at the rear of the main body 100, which facilitates driving the main body 100 forward. Of course, the propeller 140 can also be located on the left or right side of the main body 100 or other positions. This utility model does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0056] It is understood that the number of drive components can be two, three, four or more, and this utility model does not specifically limit this.

[0057] It is understood that the first rotary drive mechanism may specifically be a motor, a rotary cylinder or other rotary output mechanism, and this utility model does not specifically limit it.

[0058] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, the cleaning device includes a collection basket 150, a roller brush 160, and a second rotary drive mechanism. The collection basket 150 is disposed on the main body 100 and has a collection cavity for holding garbage. The collection basket or the main body has an opening that communicates with the collection cavity. The roller brush 160 is disposed at the opening and is drivenly connected to the second rotary drive mechanism. The second rotary drive mechanism is electrically connected to the control device 200. The second rotary drive mechanism can drive the roller brush 160 to rotate and transport the garbage to the collection cavity, thereby enabling the cleaning and collection of garbage such as leaves, branches, and floating objects floating on the water surface.

[0059] Understandably, in order to better guide the trash into the collection basket 150, the roller brush 160 can be set to an impeller shape.

[0060] It is understood that the second rotary drive mechanism may specifically be a motor, a rotary cylinder or other rotary output mechanism, and this utility model does not specifically limit it.

[0061] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
