Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pool robots, and in particular to a detachable floating device for pool robots and a pool robot. Background Technology

[0002] As an important tool for modern pool maintenance, pool cleaning robots have begun to develop towards intelligence and integration in recent years. However, there are still many technical bottlenecks in practical applications. For example, traditional pool robots mostly focus on cleaning the pool bottom. Their design direction is often focused on improving cleaning when walking on the pool bottom or in complex pool bottom environments. Existing pool robots for cleaning the pool bottom usually move on the pool bottom by means of tracks or wheeled chassis, using built-in filtration systems to adsorb impurities, and then using rotating brush heads to clean stubborn stains at the junction of the pool wall and the pool bottom. This type of design can help pool robots to handle the cleaning tasks of the pool bottom and even the pool wall well. However, due to the significant differences in the surface tension of water, the distribution characteristics of floating objects and the underwater environment, existing pool robots for cleaning the pool bottom cannot handle both surface and underwater cleaning scenarios. It is necessary to introduce a water surface vacuum cleaner for surface cleaning, which is not only complicated in process but also very expensive in cleaning costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art and provide a detachable floating device and a pool robot suitable for pool robots. This allows for the simple and convenient modification of existing pool robots used for pool bottom cleaning, enabling them to perform both surface and bottom cleaning, thus expanding the application forms of existing pool robots.

[0004] This technical solution provides a detachable floating device for a pool robot. The pool robot includes at least a robot body, a cleaning component, a drive component, and a walking component. The cleaning component is disposed on the bottom of the robot body.

[0005] The detachable floating device includes a support component and a water surface walking component. The support component is detachably installed on the robot body and fits against the bottom of the robot body, and raises the cleaning component to the water surface.

[0006] The water surface walking component is installed on both sides of the support component and forms a mechanical linkage with the drive component of the pool robot.

[0007] In this technical solution, the cleaning component of the pool robot is located at the bottom of the robot body. By installing and combining the detachable floating device with the pool robot used for bottom cleaning, the cleaning component can be raised to the water surface, and the pool robot's own cleaning component can be used to clean the water surface. The pool bottom cleaning mode and the water surface cleaning mode can be switched through simple physical disassembly and assembly operations. It retains the traditional pool bottom cleaning function, and can be modified into a pool robot for water surface cleaning by simply installing and connecting the detachable floating device according to usage needs. This expands the diversity of functions of the original pool robot equipment, realizes the functional upgrade of the pool robot through modular expansion devices, and facilitates the transformation of existing pool robots. Furthermore, by utilizing the support components in the detachable floating device to fit the bottom surface of the robot body, not only is the assembly space of the detachable floating device saved and the pool robot is provided with uniform buoyancy, but also, by introducing water surface walking components on both sides of the detachable floating device and using the water surface walking components to drive the mechanical connection with the original driving components of the pool robot, the pool robot can move stably on the water surface while floating stably, achieving effective water surface cleaning and ensuring the functional stability of the pool robot when cleaning the water surface.

[0008] Furthermore, the water-walking component is installed on both sides of the robot body via a pin structure. The pin structure has a built-in linkage gear, and a mechanical linkage is formed between the linkage gear and the drive component of the pool robot.

[0009] In this technical solution, a mechanical linkage between the water surface walking component and the drive component is established by utilizing a pin structure and its built-in linkage gear. This allows the water surface walking component to be conveniently and reliably installed on both sides of the robot body. At the same time, the pin structure can extend into the robot body and rigidly connect with the drive component. This allows the power originally used only to drive the bottom walking component to be reused as the drive source for the water surface walking component. Furthermore, the power reuse mechanism of the mechanical hard connection expands the water surface floating object collection capability. This not only improves the connection reliability between the detachable water surface floating device and the pool robot, but also greatly saves the cost of functional modification of the pool robot.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a drive motor;

[0011] The walking component includes at least two walking wheels disposed on both sides of the robot body, and the support component is installed on both sides of the robot body by fasteners, and the installation position of the fasteners is flush with the axis of each walking wheel.

[0012] The drive motor is a dual-output shaft differential motor. The first output shaft is connected to the walking wheel, and the second output shaft is connected to the linkage gear through a clutch.

[0013] When the detachable floating device is installed on the pool robot, the clutch automatically engages to form a power channel.

[0014] In this technical solution, by aligning the fastening position of the support component with the axis of the walking wheel, the support stability between the detachable floating device and the pool robot is improved. This further ensures that the pool robot can float stably on the water surface and perform cleaning operations after the detachable floating device is installed. Preferably, the pool robot adopts a dual-output shaft differential motor with an automatic clutch design. This allows the second output shaft of the drive motor and the linkage gear to automatically form a power channel during the assembly of the detachable floating device. This enables the pool robot to move on the water surface driven by the original dual-output shaft differential motor, allowing it to freely achieve movement modes such as walking and turning. Without manual intervention or the addition of an independent drive source, the original walking wheel drive power of the pool robot is seamlessly switched to the power of the water surface walking component. This achieves physical space matching and power timing coordination between the original walking component of the pool robot and the water surface walking component introduced in the detachable floating device. While improving the connection reliability between the detachable floating device and the pool robot, it also greatly saves the cost of functional modification of the pool robot.

[0015] Furthermore, the detachable floating device also includes buoyancy adjustment components, which are symmetrically installed on both sides of the robot body. By symmetrically installing buoyancy adjustment components on both sides of the robot body, the floating device can dynamically balance the overall buoyancy distribution of the pool robot according to the actual load, ensuring that the pool robot maintains optimal working conditions during water surface cleaning. This improves the anti-tipping ability and load adaptability of the pool robot equipped with the detachable floating device during water surface cleaning. Preferably, the buoyancy adjustment components are buoyancy foam blocks or counterweights, allowing for convenient adjustment of the buoyancy and load of the detachable floating device according to specific applicable conditions.

[0016] Furthermore, the support component, water surface walking component, and buoyancy adjustment component are sequentially installed onto the body via the same pin structure. By integrating the support component, water surface walking component, and buoyancy adjustment component into the same pin structure for synchronous installation with the body, the various functional modules of the floating device achieve multiple couplings of physical fixation, power linkage, and buoyancy adjustment in a single assembly action. This reduces the risk of cumulative errors from multi-component step-by-step assembly, simplifies the assembly process between the detachable water surface floating device and the pool robot, and ensures precise coordination of buoyancy balancing and power transmission.

[0017] Preferably, in order to improve the water support capacity of the detachable floating device and facilitate the reliable connection between the detachable floating device and the pool robot, the detachable floating device is made of solid buoyancy material.

[0018] Preferably, the water surface walking component includes one or more of a roller brush and an impeller. By introducing the roller brush and the impeller, the water surface walking function is realized, and the collection effect of floating objects on the water surface is further improved.

[0019] Furthermore, the support component has a clearance groove at the installation position corresponding to the walking component. The walking component extends into the clearance groove without contacting the inner wall of the groove. By setting a clearance groove at the installation position of the support component corresponding to the walking component, and ensuring that the walking component is embedded in the groove without contacting the groove wall when assembling the detachable floating device, the stable buoyancy support effect of the support component for the entire pool robot in water surface cleaning mode is ensured, while avoiding mutual interference between the support component and the walking component of the pool robot. Without adding a complex avoidance mechanism, physical compatibility between the water surface floating device and the walking component is achieved, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the pool robot when floating on the water surface for cleaning.

[0020] Another objective of this utility model is to provide a swimming pool robot equipped with a detachable floating device as provided in this technical solution. The swimming pool robot is used to clean the bottom of the pool, and the swimming pool robot can achieve water surface cleaning by assembling the swimming pool robot with the detachable floating device provided in this technical solution.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] 1. A floating device for pool robots is provided. By installing and combining the detachable floating device with a pool robot used for pool bottom cleaning, the cleaning components of the pool robot can be raised to the water surface, and the cleaning components of the pool robot itself can be used to clean the water surface. The pool bottom cleaning mode and the water surface cleaning mode can be switched through simple physical disassembly and assembly operations. It retains the traditional pool bottom cleaning function, and can be modified into a pool robot for water surface cleaning by simply installing and connecting the detachable floating device according to the usage needs. This expands the diversity of functions of the original pool robot equipment, realizes the functional upgrade of the pool robot through modular expansion device, and facilitates the modification of existing pool robots.

[0023] 2. By fitting the support components of the detachable floating device to the bottom surface of the robot body, not only is the assembly space of the detachable floating device saved and the buoyancy of the pool robot provided uniform, but also, by introducing water surface walking components on both sides of the detachable floating device and using the water surface walking components to drive the mechanical connection with the original drive components of the pool robot, the pool robot can move stably on the water surface while floating stably, achieving effective water surface cleaning and ensuring the functional stability of the pool robot when cleaning the water surface.

[0035] Furthermore, the water-walking component is installed on both sides of the robot body 200 via a pin structure 300. The pin structure 300 has a built-in linkage gear 310, and forms a mechanical linkage with the drive component of the pool robot through the linkage gear 310.

[0036] Specifically, by utilizing the pin structure 300 and its built-in linkage gear 310 to establish a mechanical linkage between the water surface walking component and the drive component, the water surface walking component can be conveniently and reliably installed on both sides of the robot body 200. At the same time, the pin structure 300 can extend into the robot body 200 and be rigidly connected to the drive component.

[0039] The drive motor is a dual-output shaft differential motor. The first output shaft is connected to the walking wheel 211, and the second output shaft is connected to the linkage gear 310 through a clutch.

[0040] When the detachable floating device 100 is installed on the pool robot, the clutch automatically engages to form a power channel.

[0041] Specifically, by aligning the fastening position of the support component 110 with the axis of the walking wheel 211, the support stability between the detachable floating device 100 and the pool robot is improved, further ensuring that the pool robot can float stably on the water surface and perform cleaning operations after the detachable floating device 100 is installed. Preferably, the pool robot adopts a dual-output shaft differential motor with an automatic clutch design, so that the second output shaft of the drive motor and the linkage gear 310 automatically form a power channel when the detachable floating device 100 is assembled.
