The detection cavity 107 is located on one side of the cleaning cavity 101 and communicates with the cleaning cavity 101. A second filter plate 108 is provided between the detection cavity 107 and the cleaning cavity 101. The pool body 100 is provided with a liquid level detection element 109 and a temperature detection element 110. The liquid level detection element 109 is at least partially located in the detection cavity 107, and the temperature detection element 110 is used to detect the temperature of the water in the detection cavity 107.

[0053] For example, both the level sensor 109 and the temperature sensor 110 can be positioned at a predetermined distance above the bottom surface of the cleaning chamber 101. The level sensor 109 can be entirely or partially located within the detection chamber 107; it can be a level gauge or a level sensor, etc. The temperature sensor 110 can be an outer surface of the portion of the pool body 100 that forms the detection chamber 107. By detecting the temperature of the corresponding location on the outer surface of the pool body 100, the temperature of the water within the detection chamber 107 can be indirectly detected; the temperature sensor 110 can be a temperature sensor. Both the level sensor 109 and the temperature sensor 110 are connected to a controller.

[0054] In this embodiment, the liquid level detector 109 is used to detect the liquid level of the cleaning water in the cleaning chamber 101. When the liquid level detector 109 detects that the liquid level of the cleaning water in the cleaning chamber 101 is higher than the liquid level detector 109, the liquid level detector 109 sends a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the heater 200 to work and perform heating. When the liquid level detector 109 detects that the liquid level of the cleaning water in the cleaning chamber 101 is lower than the liquid level detector 109, the liquid level detector 109 sends a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the heater 200 to stop working to prevent the heater 200 from burning out due to insufficient cleaning water.

[0055] Temperature sensor 110 is used to detect the temperature of the cleaning water in the cleaning chamber 101. When temperature sensor 110 detects that the temperature of the cleaning water in the cleaning chamber 101 is lower than the preset temperature, temperature sensor 110 sends a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the heater 200 to work and heat the water. When temperature sensor 110 detects that the temperature of the cleaning water in the cleaning chamber 101 reaches the preset temperature, temperature sensor 110 sends a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the heater 200 to stop working. This ensures that the temperature of the cleaning water in the cleaning chamber 101 is within a suitable range, such as between 35°C and 45°C, for better cleaning results.

[0056] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the pool body 100 includes a main body 111 and an external connection 112.
