[0032] Figure 6 schematically shows the outer shape of a water surface automatic cleaning device 60 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The water surface automatic cleaning device can perform cleaning work on the water surface of a pool as needed, for example, for cleaning garbage, debris, etc. on the water surface. As shown in Figure 6, the outer shape of the water surface automatic cleaning device 60 is generally boat-shaped, which includes a housing 610; wherein the housing 610 includes a front end 620 located near the direction of travel of the water surface automatic cleaning device 60 and a rear end 630 away from the direction of travel of the water surface automatic cleaning device.

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the water surface automatic cleaning device can be equipped with a driving mechanism, for example, a propeller 640 shown in Figure 6, thereby driving the water surface automatic cleaning device to travel on the water surface. In this context, "on the water surface" can include but is not limited to the following cases: at least a part of the water surface automatic cleaning device is located below or submerged with the water surface, while another part is above the water surface, or flush or substantially flush with the water surface, for example, which can be occasionally or always covered or submerged by the water surface.

[0034] As an example, the driving mechanism can include, but is not limited to, a motor-driven propeller, a motor-driven water track, and / or a water jet propulsion mechanism, such as one or more water jets disposed on the housing of the water surface automatic cleaning device (e.g., on both sides of the housing and / or at the rear end of the housing) and a water pump driving water to be sprayed from the water jets, etc.

[0035] The water surface automatic cleaning device can also be equipped with a control mechanism, which can control the driving mechanism to drive the water surface automatic cleaning device to travel on the water surface according to the control instructions, and to perform straight driving, turning, U-turn, etc. according to the planned travel route.

[0036] FIG. 1A shows an outer shape of a filtering device for a water surface automatic cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As an example, the filtering device can be at least accommodated in the housing of the water surface automatic cleaning device. As shown in FIG. 1A, a water inlet 140 for water inflow is disposed at the front end 120 of the housing of the filtering device 100, and the water surface automatic cleaning device can perform cleaning operations when traveling on the water surface. For example, during the cleaning operation, the water surface automatic cleaning device can suck the garbage / debris in front of the travel direction of the water surface automatic cleaning device into the water inlet of the filtering device 100 through the water flow. As an example, when the water surface automatic cleaning device travels, the water flow in front of the water surface automatic cleaning device can naturally flow into the water surface automatic cleaning device through the water inlet; as another example, a corresponding water pump can also be disposed in the water surface automatic cleaning device to suck the water in front of the travel direction of the water surface automatic cleaning device into the water inlet, thereby increasing the cleaning efficiency of the garbage / debris on the water surface.

As an example, the second openings 420 on the bottom cover 410 are a plurality of strip-shaped openings. Alternatively, the plurality of strip-shaped openings can be symmetrically distributed on the bottom of the chamber, and the specific number, shape and layout thereof are not limited herein. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, when the bottom cover 410 is connected with the chamber 190, for example, as shown in FIGS. 4A-4B, the bottom cover 410 is installed inside the chamber 190, the bottom cover 410 can be rotated relative to the chamber 190, so as to change the size of the overlapping area of the at least one second opening 420 provided on the bottom cover 410 and the at least one first opening 310 provided on the bottom of the chamber, and further adjust the opening and closing size of the at least one first opening 310 provided on the bottom of the chamber, so as to control the rate of the solution released by the water dissolution of the disinfectant being discharged to the outside of the water surface automatic cleaning device (e.g., in the water body of the pool) via the opening of the overlapping part of the at least one second opening 420 and the at least one first opening 310 provided on the bottom of the chamber (i.e., the part of the at least one first opening 310 which is not blocked by the bottom cover 410).

[0050] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, by setting the bottom cover to be rotatable relative to the chamber, for example, by setting a rotating shaft on the bottom cover, the bottom cover is caused to rotate with the rotating shaft. As an example, the rotating shaft can be rotated manually, thereby causing the bottom cover to rotate with the rotating shaft, and in turn adjusting the opening size of the at least one first opening provided at the bottom of the chamber.

[0051] FIG. 5C shows a bottom cover and a rotating shaft 440 provided thereon according to embodiments of the present disclosure. As an example, the rotating shaft 440 is in the shape of a boss. A rotating knob or a rotating handle is provided on the rotating shaft, and when the rotating knob or the rotating handle is manually rotated, the rotating shaft is caused to rotate, and in turn the bottom cover is caused to rotate relative to the chamber, so as to adjust the opening size of the at least one first opening provided at the bottom of the chamber, to control the release rate of the sterilizing agent solution to the pool water. As an example, the opening size of the at least one first opening provided at the bottom of the chamber can include that it is completely opened, partially opened, or completely closed.

[0052] As can be known in combination with FIGS. 3A-4B, the bottom of the chamber for accommodating the sterilizing agent of the water surface automatic cleaning device is provided with an opening 320, and the rotating shaft 440 provided on the bottom cover 410 can pass through the opening 320 provided at the bottom of the chamber and be fitted with the opening 320. As an example, the rotating shaft 440 can be rotated relative to the opening 320. For example, the bottom cover 410 can be rotated by manually rotating the rotating shaft 440 shown in FIG. 4B, thereby adjusting the opening size of the at least one first opening provided at the bottom of the chamber.

[0053] In addition, although in embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 4A-4B, the bottom cover is set to be accommodated inside the chamber, i.e., located inside the bottom of the chamber, and the rotating shaft provided on the bottom cover passes through the opening at the bottom of the chamber to the outside; however, for those skilled in the art, the main body of the bottom cover can also be set to be accommodated outside the chamber, i.e., located outside the bottom of the chamber, according to the application environment, operation requirements, and other factors of the water surface automatic cleaning device; in this case, the rotating shaft provided on the bottom cover passes through the opening at the bottom of the chamber towards the inside of the chamber.

[0054] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the chamber and the bottom cover are arranged as structures that can be separated from each other, i.e., the bottom cover can be connected to or separated from the chamber as needed, so as to facilitate cleaning of the chamber and / or the bottom cover. As an example, a disengagement position for facilitating installation / removal of the bottom cover can be arranged on the periphery of the opening in the bottom of the chamber for the shaft of the bottom cover to pass through, e.g., at least one notch is arranged on the periphery of the opening 320, and at least one protrusion is arranged on the shaft 440, when the shaft is rotated to the disengagement position, the bottom cover can be disengaged from the bottom of the chamber, thereby being separated from the chamber. Based on the same principle, the disengagement position also facilitates installation of the bottom cover to the bottom of the chamber.

[0055] Although the above describes an example of rotating the bottom cover based on manual operation in combination with FIGS. 4A-5C, however, as another example, the shaft can be driven by a driving mechanism such as a motor, a transmission gear, etc., so that the bottom cover is rotated with the shaft, thereby adjusting the opening / closing size of the at least one first opening arranged at the bottom of the chamber. For this purpose, the control mechanism of the water surface automatic cleaning device can send an instruction to the driving mechanism, thereby controlling the driving mechanism to drive the bottom cover to rotate, so as to adjust the opening / closing size of the at least one first opening arranged at the bottom of the chamber, to control the release rate of the disinfectant solution to the pool water body.

[0056] In addition, the control mechanism of the water surface automatic cleaning device can also receive an instruction sent by a user through a device such as a smartphone, a tablet computer, a remote controller, etc., so as to adjust the opening / closing size of the at least one first opening arranged at the bottom of the chamber, to control the release rate of the disinfectant solution to the pool water body.

[0057] Therefore, those skilled in the art can select a specific way of rotating the bottom cover according to the application environment, operation requirements, etc. of the water surface automatic cleaning device, which is not limited herein.
