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 swimming pool robot. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, the number of private and public swimming pools is constantly increasing. Pool cleaning and maintenance has become a significant issue. Traditional pool cleaning methods mainly rely on manual labor, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also ineffective at thoroughly removing various impurities and pollutants from the pool. In recent years, with the development of technology, pool robots have gradually become an important tool in the field of pool cleaning.

[0003] Existing pool cleaning robots are typically equipped with fixed filtration systems with pre-set, non-replaceable filter pore sizes. While this design can meet pool cleaning needs to some extent, it also has significant limitations. For example, impurities and contaminants in pools vary in size, ranging from large coarse particles like leaves and plastic bags to fine dust and lint-like suspended matter. Fixed-pore filtration systems often struggle to effectively filter particles of different sizes simultaneously. Larger pore sizes can quickly remove coarse particles but are ineffective at filtering fine particles and suspended matter; conversely, smaller pore sizes can filter fine particles but are less efficient at removing coarse particles and are prone to clogging, affecting the robot's normal operation.

[0004] Furthermore, the types and quantities of contaminants in swimming pools vary depending on the type of pool (such as private pools, public pools, indoor pools, outdoor pools, etc.) and the season and frequency of use. Filtration systems with fixed pore sizes cannot flexibly adjust their filtration performance to these changes and therefore cannot meet diverse cleaning needs.

[0005] For example, Chinese invention patent 202311555851.8, published on January 16, 2024, includes a swimming pool cleaning robot. This robot comprises: a shell having a receiving cavity, an inlet communicating with the receiving cavity, and a guide limiting member disposed within the receiving cavity; and a filter assembly including a filter support, a filter screen, and a first cover. The filter support defines a frame forming a filter cavity, the filter screen is disposed on the frame, and the first cover is disposed within the receiving cavity. The filter bracket faces the inlet, and the first cover has an inlet communicating with the receiving cavity. The filter bracket has a locking member that engages with the guide limiting member. The filter bracket also has a gripping body and a controller and a first positioning module located within the body. The controller and the first positioning module are electrically connected. When the body floats on the surface of the pool, the first positioning module scans the pool bottom and acquires its topographic data. The controller calculates the relative position of the pool robot and the body based on the topographic data. The purpose is to replace and repair the filter screen as needed, but the pool robot cannot operate in different modes based on the type of filter screen. Utility Model Content

[0006] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a swimming pool robot to solve the problem that existing swimming pool robots cannot select the corresponding operating program through waste bins with different apertures.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is to provide a swimming pool robot for cleaning swimming pools, including a body and a controller installed in the body. The controller is used to control the operation mode of the swimming pool robot. A processing chamber is formed in the body. A suction port communicating with the processing chamber is provided at the bottom of the body. A drain port communicating with the processing chamber is provided on the side and / or top of the body. A hollow chamber is detachably provided in the processing chamber.

[0008] The bottom of the chamber is equipped with a water inlet that communicates with the interior of the chamber. The water inlet is connected to the sludge suction port of the machine. Multiple filter holes are formed on the top and / or sides of the chamber. The chamber is available in multiple specifications based on the size of the filter holes for replacement.

[0009] At least one sensor head is provided on the bottom wall and / or side wall of the processing chamber, and the sensor head is electrically connected to the controller. At least one sensor element corresponding to the position of the sensor head is provided on the chamber body, and the sensor element is used to identify the sensor head.

[0010] In one design, the cleaning chamber has three specifications, corresponding to the pool robot's powerful cleaning mode, standard cleaning mode, and fine cleaning mode, respectively. The filter pores of the chamber corresponding to the powerful cleaning mode have a diameter greater than 100 micrometers; the filter pores of the chamber corresponding to the standard cleaning mode have a diameter greater than or equal to 50 micrometers and less than or equal to 100 micrometers; and the filter pores of the chamber corresponding to the fine cleaning mode have a diameter less than 50 micrometers. This three-mode design for the pool robot meets diverse cleaning needs while maintaining relative ease of operation.

[0011] In some embodiments, the bottom wall and / or side wall of the processing chamber are provided with multiple sensor heads. The position and / or number of sensors on the chamber with different filter hole diameters are different. By setting them in different positions, the space utilization of the processing chamber is increased, thereby improving the practicality of the pool robot.

[0012] In one approach, the sensing element is a magnet, and the sensing head is a Hall element. The Hall element has more accurate sensing and can detect the position of the chamber by the magnitude of the received magnetic field.

[0013] In one embodiment, the sensing head is a direct-acting push-button switch, which is located on the inner bottom wall of the processing chamber. The sensing element is a clamping element, and at least one sensing element is located at the bottom of the chamber. Each sensing element corresponds to the position of a different sensing head. When the chamber is placed inside the processing chamber, the sensing element triggers the sensing head. The direct-acting push-button switch has a long service life and low cost.

[0014] In some embodiments, the sensor head is a reader, and there is only one sensor head. The sensor head is set on the inner bottom wall or side wall of the processing cavity. The sensing element is an NFC tag, which is set at a position corresponding to the sensor head. The information stored on the sensing elements on different sizes of the compartments is different. The sensor head is used to read the information on the sensing element and send the read information to the controller. The type of compartment can be accurately sensed by the reader, and the structure is simple.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This utility model provides a swimming pool robot. Through the installation of sensors and sensor heads, staff can adjust the internal compartments of the robot based on the amount of trash in the pool. This allows the robot to select the corresponding operating program for different compartments, thereby achieving the desired usage purpose. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The machine body is 100, the suction port is 101, the drain port is 102, the sensor head is 103, the processing chamber is 104, the chamber is 200, the sensor is 201, the water inlet is 202, and the filter hole is 203. Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a pool robot for cleaning pools, including a body 100 and a controller disposed within the body 100. The controller is used to control the operating mode of the pool robot (the operating mode can be divided into a powerful cleaning mode (used to suck up larger particles of debris such as leaves and pebbles), a standard cleaning mode (used to suck up smaller particles of debris such as dust and pollen), and a fine cleaning mode (used to suck up tiny particles of debris such as microorganisms and algae). A processing chamber 104 is formed inside the body 100. A suction port 101 communicating with the processing chamber 104 is provided at the bottom of the body 100. A drain port 102 communicating with the processing chamber 104 is provided on the side and / or top of the body 100. A hollow chamber 200 is detachably disposed inside the processing chamber 104.

[0024] The bottom of the tank 200 is provided with a water inlet 202 that communicates with the interior of the tank 200. The water inlet 202 is connected to the suction port 101 of the body 100. The top and / or sides of the tank 200 have multiple filter holes 203. As the main improvement of this utility model, the tank 200 is divided into multiple specifications according to the size of the filter holes 203 for replacement. The pool robot can replace the tank 200 of different specifications according to the work needs.

[0025] At least one sensor head 103 is provided on the inner bottom wall and / or side wall of the processing cavity 104, and the sensor head 103 is electrically connected to the controller. At least one sensor element 201 corresponding to the position of the sensor head 103 is provided on the chamber body 200, and the sensor element 201 is used to identify the sensor head 103.

[0026] In one specific embodiment, the chamber 200 has three specifications, corresponding to the powerful cleaning mode, standard cleaning mode, and fine cleaning mode of the pool robot, respectively. In the powerful cleaning mode, the filter holes 204 of the chamber 200 have a diameter greater than 100 micrometers. The controller controls the pool robot to collect larger particles such as leaves and insects. Because fluid flow encounters less resistance when passing through larger diameter filter holes, the pool robot can pass through more fluid per unit time, thereby improving filtration efficiency. In the standard cleaning mode, the filter holes 204 of the chamber 200 have a diameter greater than or equal to 50 micrometers and less than or equal to 100 micrometers. The controller controls the pool robot to collect smaller particles such as fine sand and dust. While reducing the filtration efficiency of some parts of the pool robot, this improves the filtration effect. In the fine cleaning mode, the filter holes 204 of the chamber 200 have a diameter less than 50 micrometers. The controller controls the pool robot to collect small particles such as microorganisms and tiny suspended solids. By reducing the diameter of the filter holes 204, the pool robot can intercept even smaller particles, further improving the filtration effect.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] In this embodiment, the inner bottom wall and / or side wall of the processing cavity 104 are provided with multiple sensor heads 103. The positions and / or numbers of the sensors 201 on the chamber 200 with different filter hole 203 aperture specifications are different. The multiple sensor heads 103 cooperate to send the position and number information of the sensors 201 to the controller.

[0029] In one specific embodiment, the sensing element 201 is a magnet, which is used to release a magnetic field. The sensing head 103 is a Hall element, which is used to detect the magnetic field of the sensing element 201 and send information on whether a magnetic field signal is received to the controller.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, the sensor head 103 is a direct-acting push-button switch, and all sensor heads 103 are disposed on the inner bottom wall of the processing chamber 104. The sensing element 201 is a pressing element such as a pressure rod or pressure plate. At least one sensing element 201 is disposed at the bottom of the chamber 200. Each sensing element 201 corresponds to a different sensor head 103. The number and / or position of the sensing elements 201 at the bottom of the chamber 200 with different filter hole diameter specifications are different. When the chamber 200 is disposed in the processing chamber 104, the sensing element 201 squeezes and triggers the sensor head 103, which opens or closes, and sends the open or closed status of the sensor head 103 to the controller.

[0031] In one specific embodiment, the number of sensor heads 103 is three, respectively disposed on the inner bottom wall of the processing cavity 104, the side wall near the body 100, and the side wall away from the body 100; in another specific embodiment, the number of sensor heads 103 is three, with one disposed on the side near the body 100 and two disposed on the inner bottom wall of the processing cavity 104; obviously there are many other combinations, and by placing sensor heads 103 in different places, the space utilization of the processing cavity 104 can be increased, thereby improving the practicality of the pool robot.

[0032] In one specific embodiment, there are three sensor heads 103. Each of the three chambers 200 with different filter apertures 203 is equipped with a sensor 201. Different sensor 201s correspond to different sensor heads 103, enabling the pool robot to operate in three different modes. In another embodiment, there are also three sensor heads 103. Two sensors can also correspond to one operating mode. For example, the three sensors are sensor A, sensor B, and sensor C. At least one sensor head 103 is provided on the chamber 200. Sensor head a works in conjunction with sensor head A, sensor head c works in conjunction with the position of sensor head C, and sensor head b works in conjunction with the position of sensor head B. Sensor head a is provided on the chamber. The pool robot operates in mode one with sensor head b on compartment two, mode two with sensor head c on compartment three, mode three with sensor head a and sensor head b on compartment four, mode four with sensor head a and sensor head c on compartment five, mode five with sensor head a and sensor head c on compartment six, and mode six with sensor head a, sensor head b and sensor head c on compartment seven. Clearly, by installing different sensor heads 103 on compartment 200, the pool robot can operate in more different modes.

[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 3

[0035] In this embodiment, the sensor head 103 is a reader, and there is only one sensor head 103. The sensor head 103 is disposed on the inner bottom wall or side wall of the processing cavity 104. The sensor element 201 is an NFC tag. The sensor element 201 is disposed at a position corresponding to the position of the sensor head 103. The information stored in the sensor element 201 on different specifications of the compartment 200 is different. The sensor head 103 is used to read the information on the sensor element 201 and send the information read from the sensor element 201 to the controller.

[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] This embodiment provides a swimming pool robot. Through the setting of sensors 201 and sensor head 103, the staff can adjust the compartment 200 inside the swimming pool robot according to the garbage situation in the pool. The swimming pool robot can select the corresponding operating program according to different compartments 200, thereby achieving the corresponding use purpose.
