Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of swimming pool equipment technology, specifically to a hair collection device for a swimming pool overflow trough. Background Technology

[0002] Pool overflow channels are typically located around the perimeter of the pool, on the outer side of the pool walls. Pool water overflows the walls and enters the overflow channels. Water then flows naturally into the channels via overflow outlets at the top of the pool walls, collected by gravity. The overflow channels gather all the overflowing water, which then flows through pipes into a dedicated balance tank. This tank stores excess water, ensuring the water pump always has a sufficient water supply and preventing air intake. The pump draws water from the balance tank and sends it to filtration equipment (sand filters, diatomaceous earth tanks, etc.) and heating and disinfection equipment (such as chlorine generators and ozone generators) for treatment. The purified water is then pumped back into the main pool water system through return inlets located at the bottom or on the pool walls. This process forms a closed loop, ensuring the clarity and hygiene of the water.

[0003] In practical use, cleaning hair from the overflow grate of a swimming pool is indeed a common task in daily maintenance. Currently, the most common cleaning method is to use a net or a long-handled stiff brush for manual cleaning. When cleaning, the hair is swept together with the brush along the direction of the grate, like sweeping the floor, and then picked up manually. The problem is that the cleaning staff have a high labor intensity and the cleaning efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

The brush is located on the outside of the housing and is detachably connected to the output shaft of the reducer. The housing is configured to move along the swimming pool overflow channel, and the brush is used to rotate to collect hair located on the overflow channel grid. A hair cutting assembly is provided on the housing for cutting the hair wrapped around the brush.

[0006] Furthermore, the output shaft of the reducer is located on the outside of the housing, and the end of the brush is provided with a handle. The handle is provided with a plug hole for the output shaft of the reducer to be inserted. The outer wall of the handle is provided with a fixing hole, and a fastening bolt is provided in the fixing hole. The fastening bolt is used to abut against the output shaft of the reducer to fix the brush.

[0007] Furthermore, the side wall of the housing is provided with a beveled section, the output shaft of the reducer is located outside the beveled section, and the brush is arranged perpendicular to the beveled section.

[0008] Furthermore, the casing is equipped with handrails for moving the casing.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the housing is equipped with multiple PTFE gaskets to reduce the resistance to housing movement.

[0010] Furthermore, the hair cutting assembly includes a hair collecting groove and a hair cutting blade. The hair collecting groove is disposed on the top surface of the housing, and the hair cutting blade is disposed in the hair collecting groove.

The blade body is disposed in the hair collecting groove in a vertical direction, the protective plate is disposed on the top of the blade body and is inclined downwards, and the blade is disposed between the blade body and the protective plate.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention utilizes an electrically driven rotating brush to automatically collect hair from overflow channels. Compared to traditional manual cleaning methods, this significantly improves cleaning efficiency. The high-speed rotation of the brush effectively picks up hair tangled on the grid, easily removing even tightly wrapped hair. Operators simply need to move the device along the overflow channel to complete the cleaning, greatly reducing labor intensity. The device integrates automatic hair collection and cutting functions. Once the brush has collected a certain amount of hair, the operator can move it to the cutting component, where the hair can be cut and collected with a simple operation. The entire process requires no direct contact with the hair, ensuring hygiene and convenience. The protective plate design of the cutting component ensures operational safety and avoids the risk of accidental cuts. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0014] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0015] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the hair collection device for the swimming pool overflow trough mainly includes a housing 1, a drive motor 2, a reducer 3, a battery 4, a controller 5, and a brush 6. The housing 1 is made of ABS engineering plastic, which has good waterproof and corrosion resistance. The drive motor 2, reducer 3, battery 4, and controller 5 are arranged in a reasonable manner inside the housing, resulting in a compact structure.

[0016] The drive motor 2 is a 24V DC motor with a power of 150W and a speed of 2800 r / min. The reducer 3 uses a planetary gear reducer with a reduction ratio of 15:1, reducing the output speed to approximately 187 r / min, ensuring sufficient torque while avoiding hair splashing that may occur due to excessive speed. The battery 4 is a lithium-ion battery pack with a capacity of 10Ah, which can support the device's continuous operation for more than 2 hours. The controller 5 has overload protection and undervoltage protection functions to ensure the safe operation of the device.

[0017] like Figure 2 As shown, the brush 6 is connected to the output shaft of the reducer via a quick-connect mechanism. The handle 61 at the end of the brush has a insertion hole for a tight fit with the output shaft. A fastening bolt 63 is used to lock the connection and prevent loosening during operation. The brush is made of nylon, which effectively picks up hair while avoiding scratching the pool overflow trough grille 8.

[0018] Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sidewall of the housing 1 is designed with a beveled section 11, allowing the brush 6 to contact the pool overflow grate 8 at an angle of approximately 75°. This enables the hair on the overflow grate to move outwards as the housing is moved, thus improving cleaning efficiency. Multiple PTFE gaskets 13 are installed at the bottom of the housing to effectively reduce the coefficient of friction during movement.

[0019] like Figure 3As shown, the hair cutting assembly 7 includes a hair collection groove 71 and a hair cutter 72. The hair collection groove 71 has an open design to facilitate the entry of the hair brush. The hair cutter 72 includes a blade body 721, a protective plate 722, and a blade 723. The protective plate 722 is angled downwards, serving both as a guide and preventing accidental contact with the blade by the operator. The blade 723 is made of stainless steel, making it sharp and durable.

[0020] Work process: In use, the operator holds the handle 12 and places the device outside the overflow trough, with the brush positioned at the overflow trough's grid. The power switch is turned on, and the drive motor 2, via the reducer 3, rotates the brush 6. The device is then slowly moved along the overflow trough, and the rotating brush 6 collects the hair from the grid.

[0021] When a large amount of hair is tangled on brush 6, push the device to a flat area at the edge of the pool. Move brush 6 above the hair collection trough 71 and gently press it down so that the hair comes into contact with the blade 723. Slowly pull the brush, and the blade 723 will cut off the tangled hair, which will fall into the collection bag.

[0022] After cleaning, turn off the power, clean the brush and housing, and store the device in a dry, well-ventilated place. Check the battery level regularly and charge it promptly to ensure proper operation next time.

[0023] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
