Detailed Implementation

[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the cylinder body of this utility model includes a base 10, a cylinder body 20, a top seat 30, a cylinder cover 40, and multiple support rods 50.

[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the base 10 is a circular flat plate structure, with multiple casters 11 and a drain valve 12 on its bottom surface. The casters 11 are swivel casters to facilitate movement of the equipment in different directions. The upper surface of the base 10 has a circular groove 13, within which a first sealing strip 14 is installed for sealing the bottom of the cylinder 20. There are three casters 11, evenly spaced. The drain valve 12 is located at the center of the base 10.

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, the cylinder body 20 is a transparent cylindrical structure made of materials such as transparent plexiglass or polycarbonate. Its bottom end is positioned within the circular groove 13 of the base 10 and is in close contact with the first sealing strip 14 to achieve a bottom seal. The top end of the cylinder body 20 is positioned on the top seat 30.

[0035] The top seat 30 is a circular annular structure located at the top of the cylinder block 20. The top seat 30 has a radially inwardly extending step 31 for supporting the cylinder head 40. An upper sealing groove 32 is provided on the upper surface of the step 31, and a second sealing strip 33 is embedded within the upper sealing groove 32 for sealing the cylinder head 40. A lower sealing groove 34 is provided on the lower surface of the step 31, and a third sealing strip 35 is provided within the lower sealing groove 34 for sealing the cylinder block 20.

[0036] like Figure 5As shown, to improve inspection and observation, the cylinder head 40 is a structure supported by the top seat 30, comprising an upper cover 41, a transparent cover plate 42, and a lower cover 43. The transparent cover plate 42 is sandwiched between the upper cover 41 and the lower cover 43 and is fixedly connected by screws 44. The cylinder head 40 is supported by the step 31 of the top seat 30. When the cylinder head 40 is in place, the lower surface of the cylinder head 40 is in close contact with the second sealing strip 33, while the outer edge of the lower cover 43 of the cylinder head 40 is in close contact with the third sealing strip 35, thus achieving multiple seals. A fourth sealing strip 48 is provided between the upper cover 41 and the transparent cover plate 42.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a handle 45 is also provided on the upper cover 41. The handle 45 is fixed to the upper cover by a connecting seat 46 and screws for easy operation.

[0038] The support rods 50 consist of three cylindrical rods connected between the base 10 and the top seat 30, and are evenly distributed around the periphery of the cylinder body 20 to provide stable support. The support rods 50 are connected to the base 10 and the top seat 30 by fasteners such as bolts and nuts to ensure the stability of the connection.

[0039] The operating principle of this utility model:

[0040] During use, place the pool robot to be tested into the tank 20 and fill it with an appropriate amount of water. Place the tank cover 40 onto the step 31 of the top seat 30, at which point the second sealing strip 33 and the third sealing strip 35 begin to perform their sealing function.

[0041] Pressurization was applied to the cylinder 20 to simulate the operation of a swimming pool robot at a set depth. Through the transparent cylinder 20 and the transparent cover 42, testers could clearly observe whether bubbles were rising in the water, thus determining its waterproof performance.

[0042] 3. After the test, open the drain valve 12 on the base 10 to drain the water, and use the casters 11 to move the equipment to the storage location.

[0043] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
