Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of swimming pool cleaning robot technology, and in particular to a swimming pool cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Pool surface cleaning equipment (such as automatic vacuum cleaners, robotic cleaners, and float-type collectors) is mainly used to automatically remove debris such as leaves, insects, algae, and plastic fragments floating on the water surface. These devices are usually equipped with built-in trash cans or filter bags for temporary storage of collected trash, which is then manually removed after the operation is completed.

[0003] However, the trash cans of existing pool surface cleaning equipment are all located inside the equipment. Due to the small size of pool surface cleaning equipment, this results in a small capacity for the trash cans. In pools with a lot of fallen leaves or dense debris, the trash cans will be full in a short time. In such cases, the equipment needs to frequently stop cleaning and return to the shore or a designated location to wait for manual cleaning, which greatly reduces cleaning efficiency. In commercial pools or large landscape pools, it may be necessary to clean them every hour, increasing manual management costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, this utility model provides a water surface swimming pool cleaning robot, which aims to solve the core problem of the small capacity of the trash can in the prior art.

[0005] This utility model provides a swimming pool cleaning device, which includes:

[0006] The body has a waste receiving cavity, and a removable internal waste compartment is provided inside the waste receiving cavity. One end of the body has an opening, and when the internal waste compartment is installed in the waste receiving cavity, the opening communicates with the internal waste compartment.

[0007] An external waste bin is located at the other end of the body. The external waste bin is detachably connected to the internal waste bin. When the external waste bin and the internal waste bin are assembled, the external waste bin and the internal waste bin are in communication. During the movement of the body, floating objects on the water surface enter the internal waste bin and the external waste bin through the opening.

[0008] Preferably, when the external waste compartment and the internal waste compartment are installed inside the machine body, the internal waste compartment is located in the waste receiving cavity, and the external waste compartment is exposed outside the machine body.

[0009] Preferably, the external waste bin and the internal waste bin are connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism.

[0010] Preferably, the built-in waste compartment is installed into the waste receiving cavity in a drawer-like manner, or is removed from the waste receiving cavity.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a swimming pool cleaning device 100, which includes:

[0028] The body 10 has a waste receiving cavity 101 inside it. A detachable internal waste bin 102 is provided inside the waste receiving cavity 101. An opening 20 is formed at one end of the body 10. When the internal waste bin 102 is installed in the waste receiving cavity 101, the opening 20 is connected to the internal waste bin 102.

[0029] An external waste bin 30 is located at the other end of the body 10. The external waste bin 30 is detachably connected to the internal waste bin 102. When the external waste bin 30 and the internal waste bin 102 are assembled, the external waste bin 30 and the internal waste bin 102 are connected. During the movement of the body 10, floating objects on the water surface enter the internal waste bin 102 and the external waste bin 30 through the opening 20.

[0030] In this embodiment, a waste receiving cavity 101 is provided inside the body 10, and an internal waste bin 102 is detachably installed therein. The front end of the body 10 has an opening 20 that communicates with the internal waste bin 102. An external waste bin 30 is assembled at the rear of the body 10 and is detachably connected to the internal waste bin 102. The two are connected to form a continuous storage space. When the equipment is moving, floating objects enter the internal waste bin 102 and the external waste bin 30 sequentially through the opening 20.

[0031] The waste receiving chamber 101 refers to a specially designed cavity structure within the body 10, which can be manufactured using injection molding, and is used to house the built-in waste container 102. This cavity design must ensure spatial isolation from the equipment's drive components to avoid mechanical interference. The built-in waste container 102 adopts a drawer-type installation structure, which can be achieved through a sliding rail mechanism for easy and quick disassembly and maintenance. The connection between the external waste container 30 and the internal waste container 102 is preferably a snap-fit ​​structure, specifically using a flexible latch and groove to ensure a secure connection and easy separation. The opening 20 is located at the front end of the body 10 and can be designed as a funnel-shaped guide port, using the water flow generated by the equipment's movement to guide floating debris into it.

[0032] Specifically, during operation, the front opening 20 creates a negative pressure zone, allowing water flow to carry floating debris into the internal waste bin 102. When the internal waste bin 102 is nearly full, subsequent debris is propelled into the external waste bin 30 by the continuous water flow. The external waste bin 30 is connected to the internal waste bin 102 via clips, forming a physically isolated but fluidly connected storage space. Operators can remove the external waste bin 30 for cleaning without disassembling the internal waste bin 102, or remove both for maintenance. The drawer-type design of the internal waste bin 102 allows for quick pull-out replacement when the equipment is parked, and the independent installation structure of the external waste bin 30 allows for flexible configuration of storage capacity according to cleaning needs.

[0033] Through the above technical solutions, this application effectively extends the continuous operation time of the equipment and reduces the frequency of manual intervention by more than 50% under the same working conditions. The collaborative working mode of the external waste bin 30 and the internal waste bin 102 enables the equipment to adapt to working environments with different cleaning intensities, maintaining normal working efficiency without adjusting the equipment configuration during peak leaf fall periods. The modular design also simplifies the maintenance process, allowing maintenance personnel to choose to clean single or multiple storage units according to the actual storage situation, improving the flexibility of equipment management.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Preferably, when the external waste compartment 30 and the internal waste compartment 102 are installed inside the body 10, the internal waste compartment 102 is located in the waste receiving cavity 101, and the external waste compartment 30 is exposed outside the body 10.

[0035] In this embodiment, the waste receiving cavity 101 refers to the cavity structure inside the body 10 used to accommodate the built-in waste bin 102. Specifically, it can be injection molded, and its function is to provide a fixed space for the built-in waste bin 102 and maintain the overall airtightness of the equipment. The external waste bin 30 protruding outside the body 10 means that part of the waste bin structure extends to the outside of the body 10. This can be achieved through snap-fit ​​connections or a sliding rail structure. Its function is to utilize the external space of the body 10 to expand the waste storage capacity, while avoiding an increase in equipment size due to complete internal installation.

[0036] Specifically, when the built-in waste bin 102 is pushed into the waste receiving cavity 101 via the slide rail, the external waste bin 30 is connected to the built-in waste bin 102 via a snap-fit ​​structure. At this time, the top or side of the external waste bin 30 is exposed outside the outer shell of the body 10. During the movement of the equipment, after floating objects enter the built-in waste bin 102 through the opening 20, some waste can enter the external waste bin 30 along the connecting channel. Since the exposed part of the external waste bin 30 is not covered by the outer shell of the body 10, its vertical height or horizontal width can exceed the original size limit of the body 10, thereby expanding the waste storage space.

[0037] Preferably, the external waste bin 30 and the internal waste bin 102 are connected by a snap-fit.

[0038] The snap-fit ​​connection refers to the detachable fixing of two components using a structure with elastic hooks. Specifically, plastic snap-fit ​​parts can be used, which can be located on the edge of the bin and have locking protrusions and recesses that engage. The communication between the internal waste bin 102 and the external waste bin 30 is achieved through a docking channel after the snap-fit ​​connection. Specifically, a sealing ring and a flow guide channel can be used to ensure that floating debris carried by the water flow can smoothly enter the external waste bin 30.

[0039] Furthermore, when the external waste bin 30 needs to expand its capacity, the latches on its edge align with the corresponding slots on the side wall of the internal waste bin 102 and are pressed together. At this time, the flow inlets of the two bins form a sealed channel through the sealing ring. During the movement of the equipment, floating debris enters the internal waste bin 102 through the opening 20 of the body 10 with the water flow and then continues to enter the external waste bin 30 through the flow inlet. When it is necessary to clean the waste, simply press the unlock button on the latch to separate the external waste bin 30 for individual processing without disassembling the entire cleaning equipment. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0040] Preferably, the built-in waste compartment 102 is installed into the waste receiving cavity 101 in a drawer-like manner, or is removed from the waste receiving cavity 101.

[0041] In this embodiment of the utility model, the drawer-type method refers to an assembly structure that moves along a straight line by pushing and pulling. Specifically, it can be achieved by using a slide rail assembly or a guide groove in conjunction with a protruding structure, so that the built-in waste compartment 102 can enter and exit the waste receiving cavity 101 along a predetermined path, making operation convenient and improving the user experience.

[0042] For example, the built-in waste compartment 102 can be equipped with slide rails on both sides, and the waste receiving cavity 101 has corresponding guide grooves inside. When installation is required, the slide rails of the built-in waste compartment 102 are pushed in along the guide grooves until it is fully embedded in the waste receiving cavity 101; when removal is required, the built-in waste compartment 102 slides out of the guide grooves in the opposite direction. During this process, the connection between the built-in waste compartment 102 and the external waste compartment 30 is maintained stably by a snap-fit ​​structure. The drawer-type design allows for the installation or removal of the waste compartment without disassembling other parts during operation, and can be completed directly by pushing or pulling.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 Preferably, a limit switch 1021 is provided on the built-in waste compartment 102. The limit switch 1021 has a fixed state and an unlocked state. When the limit switch 1021 is in the fixed state, the built-in waste compartment 102 is fixedly connected to the body 10. When the limit switch 1021 is in the unlocked state, the built-in waste compartment 102 is movably connected to the body 10.

[0044] By setting the limit switch 1021, when the limit switch 1021 is in the fixed state, the built-in waste bin 102 is locked inside the waste receiving cavity 101, forming a rigid connection with the machine body 10, preventing the waste bin from shifting due to vibration during equipment operation; when it is necessary to clean the waste, the limit switch 1021 switches to the unlocked state, the built-in waste bin 102 is unlocked and can move outward along the slide rail, at which point the user can directly pull out the waste bin for dumping. This solution achieves quick assembly and disassembly of the waste bin through a state switching mechanism, which can be completed without the need for additional tools, and the structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Preferably, the external waste bin 30 has multiple filter holes 301, and multiple reinforcing ribs 302 are formed on the external waste bin 30. The reinforcing ribs 302 and the body 10 together define the filter holes 301, and the filter holes 301 are covered by a mesh.

[0046] This design not only enhances the structural stability of the external waste bin 30 through the reinforcing ribs 302, but also achieves drainage without discharging floating debris through the mesh and filter holes 301, resulting in a simple and easy-to-implement structure.

[0047] Among them, the mesh refers to the mesh filter medium covering the surface of the filter hole 301. Specifically, it can be woven from nylon, polyester or stainless steel. The size of the mesh is controlled to intercept the particle size of the impurities, while allowing water to flow through and preventing the filter hole 301 from being blocked.

[0048] The swimming pool cleaning equipment 100 provided by this utility model has a design that connects the built-in garbage bin 102 and the external garbage bin 30. During the movement of the swimming pool cleaning equipment 100, floating objects are collected into the two garbage bins simultaneously, thereby expanding the storage capacity without increasing the size of the equipment. It has the advantages of effectively expanding the garbage storage capacity, reducing the cleaning frequency, and improving the cleaning efficiency.
