Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pool robots, and in particular to a water surface floating device that is easy to assemble and disassemble, and a pool robot equipped with such a device. 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 water surface floating device that is easy to assemble and disassemble and a pool robot equipped with it. This allows existing pool robots used for pool bottom cleaning to be easily and conveniently modified by installing the water surface floating device, so that they can perform both water surface cleaning and pool bottom cleaning, thus expanding the application forms of existing pool robots.

[0004] This technical solution provides a water surface floating device that is easy to assemble and disassemble. The water surface floating device includes a support component, which can be detachably installed on a pool robot and fits the bottom of the pool robot.

[0005] The pool robot includes at least a robot body, a cleaning component, a drive component, and a walking component, wherein the cleaning component is disposed on the bottom of the robot body;

[0006] When the easily detachable floating device is installed on the pool robot, the support assembly is used to lift the cleaning assembly to the water surface and reuse the walking assembly of the pool robot to move on the water surface.

[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 easily 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 also be modified into a pool robot for water surface cleaning by simply installing and connecting the easily 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 easily detachable and detachable floating device to fit the bottom surface of the robot body, not only is the assembly space of the easily detachable and detachable floating device saved, providing uniform buoyancy for the pool robot, but the reuse of the original pool robot's walking components enables water surface movement. This allows the pool robot to effectively and stably clean the water surface even after being stably lifted, improving the convenience of pool robot modification while ensuring the functional stability of the pool robot during water surface cleaning.

[0008] Furthermore, the walking component includes at least walking wheels symmetrically arranged on both sides of the robot body and a roller brush arranged at the front end of the robot body;

[0009] When the easily detachable floating device is installed on the pool robot, the roller brush is driven by the drive assembly to enable the pool robot to move on the water surface.

[0010] In this technical solution, when the pool robot is lifted to the water surface, the existing pool robot's roller brush is reused as a water surface propulsion mechanism. The drive component drives the roller brush to rotate, generating water surface propulsion force. This allows the traditional pool bottom cleaning robot to move and clean the water surface without an additional power system after adding an easy-to-disassemble water surface floating device. At the same time, the direct contact between the roller brush and floating objects on the water surface further improves the cleaning efficiency of the pool robot when removing pollutants from the water surface. This not only simplifies the modification cost of the existing pool robot but also improves the cleaning quality after the modification of the pool robot.

[0011] Furthermore, the support components are installed on both sides of the robot body using fasteners, and the installation positions of the fasteners are flush with the axis of each walking wheel. By aligning the fastening positions of the support components with the axis of the walking wheels, the support stability between the easily detachable water surface flotation 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 easily detachable water surface flotation device is installed, thus improving the connection reliability between the easily detachable water surface flotation device and the pool robot.

[0012] 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.

[0013] Furthermore, the roller brush is installed between two opposing wheels, and the installation position of the roller brush avoids the installation position of the wheels.

[0014] In both the horizontal and vertical directions, the roller brush protrudes from the plane where the traveling wheel is located.

[0015] In this technical solution, by effectively avoiding the installation position of the roller brush between the two traveling wheels, the independence of the working state between the traveling wheels and the roller brush is improved. At the same time, the roller brush protrudes from the plane of the traveling wheels in both the horizontal and vertical directions. This ensures that the traveling wheels are completely housed in the floating device in the water surface mode to avoid power loss, and also ensures that the roller brush can still effectively contact the floating objects on the water surface and generate propulsion force by rotation after being lifted.

[0016] Furthermore, the easily 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 easily detachable floating device during water surface cleaning. Preferably, the buoyancy adjustment component is a buoyancy foam block or a counterweight block, which allows for convenient adjustment of the buoyancy and load of the easily detachable floating device according to specific applicable conditions.

[0017] Preferably, the support component and the buoyancy adjustment component are sequentially installed onto the robot body using the same fastener. By integrating the support component and the buoyancy adjustment component into the same fastener, synchronous installation with the pool robot is achieved. This allows the various functional modules of the floating device to complete multiple couplings of physical fixation and buoyancy adjustment in a single assembly action, thereby reducing the risk of cumulative errors from multi-component step-by-step assembly. It simplifies the assembly process between the easily disassembled water surface floating device and the pool robot while ensuring precise coordination of buoyancy balancing and support stability.

[0018] Preferably, in order to improve the water support capacity of the easily detachable floating device and optimize the connection reliability between the easily detachable floating device and the pool robot, the easily detachable floating device is made of solid buoyancy material.

[0019] Another objective of this utility model is to provide a swimming pool robot equipped with a water surface floating device that is easy to assemble and disassemble as provided in this technical solution. The swimming pool robot is used to clean the bottom of the pool. The swimming pool robot can achieve water surface cleaning by assembling it with the water surface floating device that is easy to assemble and disassemble provided in this technical solution.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] 1. A water surface floating device that is easy to assemble and disassemble is provided. The cleaning component of the pool robot is set at the bottom of the robot body. By installing and combining the easy-to-assemble and disassemble water surface floating device with the pool robot used for pool 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 easy-to-assemble and disassemble water surface 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 transformation of existing pool robots. By utilizing the support components of the easily detachable floating device to fit the bottom of the robot's body, the assembly space of the easily detachable floating device is saved, providing uniform buoyancy for the pool robot. At the same time, the original walking components of the pool robot are reused to achieve water surface movement, making it easy for the pool robot to effectively and stably clean the water surface even after being stably lifted. This improves the convenience of pool robot modification while ensuring the functional stability of the pool robot during water surface cleaning.

[0022] 2. When the pool robot is lifted to the water surface, the existing pool robot's roller brush is reused as a water surface propulsion mechanism. The drive component drives the roller brush to rotate, generating water surface propulsion force. This allows the traditional pool bottom cleaning robot to move and clean the water surface without an additional power system after the addition of an easily detachable water surface floating device. At the same time, the direct contact between the roller brush and floating objects on the water surface further improves the cleaning efficiency of the pool robot when removing pollutants from the water surface. This not only reduces the cost of modifying the existing pool robot, but also improves the cleaning quality after the modification. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The pool robot includes at least a robot body 200, a cleaning component, a drive component, and a walking component, with the cleaning component located on the bottom of the robot body 200;

[0032] When the easily detachable floating device 100 is installed on the pool robot, the support assembly 110 is used to lift the cleaning assembly to the water surface and reuse the walking assembly of the pool robot to move on the water surface.

[0033] Specifically, the cleaning component of the pool robot is located at the bottom of the robot body 200. By installing and combining the easily detachable floating device 100 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 also be modified into a pool robot for water surface cleaning by simply installing and connecting the easily detachable floating device 100 according to usage needs.

This improves the convenience of modifying the pool robot while ensuring the functional stability of the pool robot during water surface cleaning.

[0034] Furthermore, the walking component includes at least walking wheels 211 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the robot body 200 and a roller brush 120 arranged at the front end of the robot body 200.

[0035] When the easily detachable floating device 100 is installed on the pool robot, the roller brush 120 drives the pool robot to move on the water surface by the drive component.

[0036] Specifically, when the pool robot is lifted to the water surface, the existing pool robot's roller brush 120 is reused as a water surface propulsion mechanism. The drive component drives the roller brush 120 to rotate and generate water surface propulsion force. This allows the traditional pool bottom cleaning robot to move and clean the water surface without an additional power system after the addition of the easily detachable water surface floating device 100. At the same time, the direct contact between the roller brush 120 and floating objects on the water surface further improves the cleaning efficiency of the pool robot when removing pollutants from the water surface.

[0037] Furthermore, the support components 110 are installed on both sides of the robot body 200 with fasteners, and the installation position of the fasteners is flush with the axis of each walking wheel 211. By aligning the fastening position of the support components 110 with the axis of the walking wheels 211, the support stability between the easily detachable water surface flotation device 100 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 easily detachable water surface flotation device 100 is installed, thus improving the connection reliability between the easily detachable water surface flotation device 100 and the pool robot.

[0038] Furthermore, the support component 110 has a clearance groove at the installation position of the corresponding 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 110 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 110 for the entire pool robot in the water surface cleaning mode is ensured, while avoiding mutual interference between the support component 110 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.

[0039] Furthermore, the roller brush 120 is installed between two opposing wheels 211, and the installation position of the roller brush 120 avoids the installation position of the wheels 211.

[0040] In both the horizontal and vertical directions, the roller brush 120 protrudes from the plane where the traveling wheel 211 is located.

[0041] Specifically, by effectively avoiding the installation position of the roller brush 120 between the two traveling wheels 211, the independence of the working state between the traveling wheels 211 and the roller brush 120 is improved.

This ensures that the traveling wheels 211 are completely housed in the floating device in the water surface mode to avoid power loss, and also ensures that the roller brush 120 can still effectively contact the floating objects on the water surface and generate propulsion force by rotation after being lifted.

[0042] Furthermore, the easily detachable floating device 100 also includes a buoyancy adjustment component 130, which is symmetrically installed on both sides of the robot body 200.

[0043] Preferably, the support component 110 and the buoyancy adjustment component 130 are sequentially installed onto the robot body 200 using the same fastener. By integrating the support component 110 and the buoyancy adjustment component 130 into the same fastener, synchronous installation with the pool robot is achieved.
