[0020] With reference to the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6 to Fig. 7 A technical solution according to the utility model is described below: A pool robot is provided, comprising a main body 10, a container 18, a filter device 17 and a water flow drive device 20.

[0021] Inside the main body 10, an interior space is provided for receiving the respective components. On an outer surface of the main body 10, a first water inlet 11, a second water inlet 12, a first water outlet 13 and a second water outlet 14 are provided, the respective water inlets and water outlets being in flow communication with the interior space.

[0022] As from the Fig. 1 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 2, the first water inlet 11 is arranged on a lower area of ​​the main body 10, and the first water outlet 13 is arranged on an upper area of ​​the main body 10; the second water inlet 12 is arranged on a front area of ​​the main body 10, and the second water outlet 14 is arranged on a rear area of ​​the main body 10.

[0023] The container 18 is mounted in the main body 10, and several openings 181 are provided on one side of the container 18 through which water can flow. The filter device 17 is detachably arranged in the container 18. A handle may be provided on the filter device 17 so that the user can remove it for cleaning or to replace a filter element. The water filtered by the filter device 17 flows out through the openings 181. The filter device 17 may be designed as a dust container or a dust bag.

[0024] The water flow drive device 20 is in flow communication with the filter device 17 via the openings 181 of the container 18. The water filtered by the filter device 17 flows through the openings 181 to the water flow drive device 20, and the water flow drive device 20 then pumps the water out of the main body 10 to the outside. The water flow drive device 20 can be designed as a water pump.

[0025] A first conveying section 21 is arranged above the water flow drive device 20. The first conveying section 21 is a stationary section and has a channel, in which at least part of the water flow drive device 20 (for example, an impeller 25) is housed. The first conveying section 21 is L-shaped, and an end section of the first conveying section 21 is movably connected to a second conveying section 22.

[0026] In one embodiment, the second conveying section 22 and the first conveying section 21 are rotatably connected to each other via a rotary bearing structure and are fluidically connected. An end section of the second conveying section 22 has an opening for discharging the water. The water conveyed by the water flow drive device 20 flows successively through the first conveying section 21 and the second conveying section 22 and exits the main body 10.

[0027] The main body 10 includes a receiving housing 24, and the water flow drive device 20 comprises an impeller 25 and a motor 26. The impeller 25 is located freely outside the receiving housing 24 and is housed in the channel of the first conveying section 21. The motor 26 is connected to the impeller 25 via an output shaft, and at least part of the motor 26 is sealed within the receiving housing 24 to provide protection against water and moisture.

[0028] A control device 27 is mounted in the receiving housing 24. The control device 27 is connected to the second conveying section 22 via communication technology, and the control device 27 can control the rotation of the second conveying section 22 relative to the first conveying section 21, depending on the operating mode of the pool robot.

[0029] To achieve precise control, the first conveying section 21 has a first sensor element 211, and the second conveying section 22 has a second sensor element 212. A sensor connection exists between the first sensor element 211 and the second sensor element 212 for signal transmission. The control device 27 receives signals from the first sensor element 211 and / or the second sensor element 212 to determine the opening direction of the second conveying section 22 in real time and to ensure that the water flow is directed correctly. The specific operating modes of the pool robot are as follows: First operating mode (cleaning mode for pool floor / pool wall):

[0030] In this mode, the control device 27 controls the second conveying section 22 such that it is rotated so that its opening is aligned towards the first water outlet 13. In this case, water flows in through the first water inlet 11, is filtered by the filter device 17, then drawn in and pressurized by the water flow drive device 20, and subsequently expelled through the first conveying section 21 and the second conveying section 22 from the first water outlet 13, generating a downward thrust. This allows the pool robot to rest against the pool floor or wall, move along it, and perform cleaning operations. Second operating mode (water surface cleaning mode):

[0031] When the pool robot switches to surface cleaning mode, the control device 27 rotates the second conveying section 22 so that its opening is aligned with the second water outlet 14. In this case, water flows in through the second water inlet 12, is also filtered by the filter device 17, and then conveyed by the water flow propulsion device 20 before finally being expelled to the rear from the second water outlet 14, thus providing a forward propulsive force. This allows the pool robot to move across the water surface and clean floating debris.

[0032] When the pool robot is in the first operating mode, with the opening of the second conveying section 22 oriented towards the second water outlet 14, the control device 27 steers the second conveying section 22 so that its opening is oriented towards the first water outlet 13. When the pool robot switches from the first operating mode to the second operating mode, or when the pool robot is in the second operating mode and the opening of the second conveying section 22 is oriented towards the first water outlet 13, the second conveying section 22 is rotated by 90° so that its opening is oriented towards the second water outlet 14.

[0033] The first water inlet 11 is located at a lower area of ​​the main body 10, and the first water outlet 13 is located at an upper area of ​​the main body 10, which is suitable for water circulation during cleaning of the pool floor and pool wall.

[0034] The second water inlet 12 is located at a front area of ​​the main body 10, and the second water outlet 14 is located at a rear area of ​​the main body 10, which is suitable for propulsion during movement on the water surface.

[0035] In another embodiment, the water flow drive device 20 can comprise two independent water pumps. Accordingly, the first water outlet 13, the second water outlet 14, the first conveying section 21, and the second conveying section 22 are each provided twice. In this configuration, the respective second conveying sections 22 can be controlled independently of one another, thereby further improving the flexibility of the water flow control and the cleaning efficiency.

[0036] As in Fig.As shown in Figure 7, the second conveying section 22 has a first drive element 28. The main body 10 also contains a second drive element 29 and a drive device 210. The drive device 210 is connected to the second drive element 29 and drives the first drive element 28 via the second drive element 29, thus achieving a directed rotation of the second conveying section 22. A gear transmission, a belt transmission, a linkage transmission, or the like can be provided between the drive device 210 and the second drive element 29, as well as between the second drive element 29 and the first drive element 28.

[0037] Operating principle: When the pool robot is started, the control device 27, depending on the selected operating mode, controls the second conveying section 22 in such a way that it is rotated into a corresponding position. Water flows in through the corresponding water inlet, is filtered by the filter device 17, and then accelerated by the water flow drive device 20 and guided so that it is expelled from the corresponding water outlet, thereby generating a propulsive force or a contact force.

[0038] Content not explained in detail in this description is part of the state of the art known to experts.

[0039] Although exemplary embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it is clear to the person skilled in the art that numerous changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these exemplary embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the utility model. The scope of the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
