[0001] This application relates to the technical field of water tank cleaning systems, specifically to a reagent storage component, a water tank cleaning base station, and a water quality monitoring method thereof. Background Technology

[0002] Pools, including swimming pools, are venues for people to engage in swimming activities or competitions. Most swimming pools are built on land and can be categorized into regular swimming pools and heated swimming pools based on water temperature. To ensure the comfort and safety of people in the pool, it is necessary to clean it periodically. Currently, there are pool robots that can automatically clean pools, replacing manual labor. However, existing pool robots generally only remove solid waste. When water quality issues arise, such as abnormal levels of urea, turbidity, pH, free residual chlorine, total chlorine, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), TDS, COD, conductivity, total bacterial count, and coliform bacteria, existing pool robots generally cannot provide better solutions. Furthermore, integrating water quality adjustment modules into existing pool robots can lead to an excessively large overall size, increasing manufacturing costs and performance. Technical issues

Technical solutions

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes a water quality detection and adjustment method for a water pool cleaning base station. The water pool cleaning base station includes a body and a water quality detection module and a water quality adjustment module disposed on the body. The water quality detection and adjustment method for the water pool cleaning base station includes:

[0005] Upon receiving a water quality inspection and adjustment command, the system controls the water quality detection module to start operation and acquire initial water quality information.

[0006] When the initial water quality information does not meet the preset water quality conditions, a water quality adjustment plan is determined based on the initial water quality information.

[0007] The water quality regulation module is started and operates according to the water quality regulation scheme.

[0008] Furthermore, to achieve the above objectives, this application also provides a water quality detection and adjustment method for a water pool cleaning base station. The water pool cleaning base station includes a body and a water quality detection module and a water quality adjustment module disposed on the body.

[0009] Upon receiving a water quality inspection and investigation instruction, obtain the target requirements information for the water quality inspection and investigation;

[0010] The system controls the water quality testing module to start and operate, and acquires initial water quality information.

[0011] When the initial water quality information does not meet the preset water quality conditions, a water quality adjustment plan is determined based on the initial water quality information and the target demand information.

[0012] The water quality regulation module is started and operates according to the water quality regulation scheme.

[0013] In addition, to achieve the above objectives, this application also provides a water pool cleaning base station, comprising:

[0014] Organism;

[0015] A water quality detection module is installed in the machine body and is used to detect and obtain water quality information;

Example 1

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5. This application provides a water tank cleaning base station and the water tank cleaning system applied thereto. For ease of understanding, in the following embodiments, the water tank cleaning base station and the water tank cleaning system applied thereto are examples of having two intersecting horizontal, vertical, and vertical directions. The horizontal and vertical directions are two directions that are approximately perpendicular to the horizontal plane that is approximately perpendicular to the vertical direction.

[0041] Specifically, the water tank cleaning base station provided in this application is used for installation on the wall of a water tank. The water tank cleaning base station includes a body 100, a water quality detection module 200, and a water quality adjustment module 300. The body 100 is installed on the wall of the water tank; the water quality detection module 200 is located on the body 100 and is used to detect the water quality of the water in the tank; the water quality adjustment module 300 is located on the body 100 and includes a housing and a first opening / closing member. The housing forms a drug storage chamber for storing chemicals and a drug dispensing channel. The drug dispensing channel connects the drug storage chamber and the outside of the body 100. The first opening / closing member is located at the connection between the drug storage chamber and the drug dispensing channel, and can movably open and close the drug storage chamber and the drug dispensing channel, so that when open, the drug dispensing channel releases the chemicals received from the drug storage chamber to the outside of the body 100.

[0042] Generally, a water tank cleaning base station includes a body 100, which includes a housing 110 and some necessary components installed on the housing 110. The housing 110 is installed on the wall of the water tank to be installed. The specific location of the wall to be installed is not limited; it can be, but is not limited to, the bottom wall and / or side wall of the water tank. However, it is understood that when the water tank cleaning base station in this design operates in the detection and / or adjustment mode to detect and / or adjust the water in the water tank, it is necessary to ensure that the detection components of the water quality detection module 200 and the water quality adjustment components of the water quality adjustment module 300 are not obstructed as much as possible. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to ensure that the installation of the housing 110 on the wall to be installed, the installation of the water quality detection module 200 on the housing 110, and the installation of the water quality adjustment module 300 on the housing 110 do not interfere with each other.

[0043] The housing 110 may generally have a first sewage inlet 111, a first drain outlet 112, and a first flow channel 121 connecting the first sewage inlet 111 and the first drain outlet 112. The first sewage inlet 111 and / or the first drain outlet 112 may be directly formed on the housing 110, or the first sewage inlet 111 and / or the first drain outlet 112 may be defined by forming mounting holes in the housing 110 and then defining the first sewage inlet 111 and / or the first drain outlet 112 by other components assembled at the mounting holes.

[0044] The body 100 also includes a first pump body 130 and a filter structure 140. The first pump body 130 is located in the first flow channel 121 to drive external water to enter the first flow channel 121 from the first sewage inlet 111 and then discharge it to the outside through the first drain outlet 112. The filter structure 140 is located in the first flow channel 121 to divide the first flow channel 121 into a sewage inlet flow channel section 121a near the first sewage inlet 111 and a drainage flow channel section 121b near the first drain outlet 112. The filter structure 140 is used to trap solids in the water at the sewage inlet flow channel section 121a.

[0045] For example, the first sewage inlet 111 can be directly opened at the housing 110, and the housing wall of the housing 110 with the first sewage inlet 111 can be a straight housing wall, an outwardly convex housing wall, or an inwardly concave housing wall.

[0046] The housing 110 is also provided with a first mounting hole, and the body 100 also includes a flow channel shell plate 120 and a drain pipe. The flow channel shell plate 120 is installed inside the housing 110, and the flow channel shell plate 120 is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole. The first through hole is sealed and connected to the first sewage inlet 111; the second through hole is correspondingly provided to the first mounting hole. The drain pipe passes through the first through hole and the first mounting hole in sequence, and is connected to the first pump body 130, which is at least partially housed in the flow channel shell wall. When the first sewage inlet 111 is located on one longitudinal side of the housing 110, the first drain outlet 112 can be located on both transverse sides of the housing 110. In this case, two drain pipes are correspondingly provided, and the two drain pipes are connected to the same first pump body 130.

[0047] The filter structure 140 is built into the flow channel shell plate 120. In this case, the cavity section within the flow channel shell plate 120 located between the filter structure 140 and the first through hole constitutes the aforementioned inlet flow channel section 121a; the cavity section within the flow channel shell plate 120 located between the filter structure 140 and the second through hole, together with the drain pipe body, constitutes the aforementioned drainage flow channel section 121b. The filter structure 140 may be plate-shaped and radially spaced along the first flow channel 121; or the filter structure 140 may be frame-shaped, enclosing and defining the inlet flow channel section 121a.

[0048] When the first pump body 130 starts running, a suction airflow is formed at the first flow channel 121. This suction airflow carries water from the water tank outside the casing 110 into the first flow channel 121 through the first sewage inlet 111, and finally discharges it outward through the first drain outlet 112. During this process, solids and other dirt carried in the water will be trapped in the sewage inlet section 121a by the filter structure 140, achieving the purpose of sewage collection.

[0049] In view of the above, in practical applications, the water quality detection module 200 generally includes a main body 210 and a detection unit 220. The detection unit 220 needs to be in contact with the water in the pool at least partially. The main body 210 integrates the relevant components required for detection, which may be, but are not limited to, a signal receiving and transmitting unit, a signal storage unit, and a power supply unit. When the water quality detection module is installed on the housing 110, specifically, the detection unit 220 can be directly exposed outside the housing 110 to directly detect the water quality of the water surrounding the housing 110. Alternatively, a detection channel can be reserved inside the housing 110, which introduces the water surrounding the housing 110. The detection unit 220 is installed inside this detection channel but not exposed outside the housing 110, allowing direct detection of the water quality of the water connected to the detection channel.

[0050] In a further embodiment, at least the detection unit 220 in the water quality detection module 200 can be fixedly positioned relative to the housing 110, or its position relative to the housing 110 can be adjusted. The position of the detection unit 220 relative to the housing 110 can be vertically adjustable, allowing water quality testing of different depths within the same area of ​​the pool. Alternatively, the position of the detection unit 220 relative to the housing 110 can be horizontally and / or vertically adjustable, allowing water quality testing of different areas within the same depth of the pool. Various methods can be used to achieve this adjustable position of the detection unit 220 relative to the housing 110. One method is, but is not limited to, forming a magnetic surface in at least a partial area of ​​the housing 110, and then providing a magnetic structure at the detection unit 220, where the magnetic structure can magnetically attract any part of the magnetic surface. Alternatively, a sliding groove can be provided at the housing 110, and a sliding protrusion can be provided on the detection part 220. By operating the sliding protrusion to slide in the sliding groove, the position of the detection part 220 relative to the housing 110 can be flexibly changed.

[0051] Similarly, regarding the water quality testing module 200, when the main body 100 includes the housing 110, the water quality regulating module 300 can be at least partially externally mounted on the housing 110, i.e., exposed outside the housing 110. In this case, the water quality regulating module 300 exposed outside the housing 110 can be located at the top, any side, or the bottom of the housing 110. Alternatively, the water quality regulating module 300 can also be at least partially built into the housing 110, i.e., housed within the housing 110. In this case, the water quality regulating module 300 housed within the housing 110 can also be located at the top, any side, or the bottom of the housing 110.

[0052] As described above, when the water quality testing module 200 includes a housing, and the housing defines a drug storage chamber and a drug dispensing channel, for ease of understanding, the portion of the housing defining the drug dispensing channel can be defined as the drug dispensing pipe. The connection between the drug storage chamber and the drug dispensing channel is the first opening; the first opening / closing element is, for example, a valve body or a gate body. By operating the first opening / closing element to open and close the first opening, the drug stored in the drug storage chamber can be connected to the drug dispensing pipe in the required amount and at the required time, as needed.

[0053] In one embodiment, regardless of whether the shell forming the drug storage chamber is exposed outside or contained within the housing 110, if the dispensing pipe is directly exposed outside the housing 110, or if at least a portion of the dispensing pipe is contained within the housing 110 but its outlet end needs to penetrate the housing 110 and be exposed outside, the outlet end of the dispensing pipe constitutes a third opening connecting to the outside of the housing 110. The dispensing channel defined by the dispensing pipe is directly connected to the water outside the housing 110. In this case, the drug entering the dispensing channel through the drug storage chamber can directly enter the water tank and act on the water. When no driving force is applied to the dispensing channel, the drug in the dispensing channel is equivalent to being naturally and slowly released in the water tank, and can be naturally released after a certain period of time under the action of the water flow in the water tank. When a driving force is applied to the drug outlet channel, the drug inside the channel can actively enter the pool under the driving force and act on the water.

[0054] In another embodiment, regardless of whether the shell forming the drug storage chamber is exposed outside or contained within the housing 110, if the entire section of the drug dispensing pipe is completely contained within the housing 110, the drug dispensing channel defined by the drug dispensing pipe cannot directly communicate with the water outside the housing 110. In this case, one option is to additionally define an adjustment channel within the housing 110, which connects the drug dispensing channel and the outside of the housing 110, thereby guiding the drug in the drug dispensing channel to be discharged outside the housing 110. Alternatively, in another option, the drug dispensing channel can be connected to the first flow channel 121, thereby guiding the drug in the drug dispensing channel to the first flow channel 121, whereby the suction airflow generated by the first pump 130 allows the drug to be discharged outside the housing 110 along with the water in the first flow channel 121.

[0055] When the drug outlet channel is connected to the first flow channel 121:

[0056] In one embodiment, the dispensing channel has a second opening communicating with the first flow channel 121. The water quality adjustment module 300 also includes a second opening / closing component, which is located at the second opening and can movably connect and disconnect the dispensing channel and the first flow channel 121. Similarly, the second opening / closing component can be, for example, a valve or a door. By operating the second opening / closing component to open and close the second opening, the medicine transferred in the dispensing channel can be introduced into the first flow channel 121 in the required amount and at the required time, according to actual needs. In this way, the water quality adjustment module 300 does not need to apply additional driving force; it can directly utilize the suction driving force generated by the first pump 130 fixed in the water tank cleaning base station to simultaneously achieve the purpose of discharging the medicine into the water tank.

[0057] In one embodiment, the dispensing channel can be connected to the drainage channel section 121b. Specifically, for example, the housing includes a second dispensing pipe 322 forming the dispensing channel. The second dispensing pipe 322 is connected to any section of, for example, the aforementioned drainage pipe. In this case, both the housing forming the drug storage chamber and the second dispensing pipe 322 can be located within the housing 110, but outside the flow channel shell plate 120. By connecting the dispensing channel to the drainage channel section 121b, the agent transferred within the dispensing channel can be directly discharged outwards along with the water in the drainage channel section 121b, resulting in a shorter flow path for the agent within the first flow channel 121. This is more suitable for discharging agents with immediate effects, primarily for water quality regulation within the pool.

[0058] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the drug outlet channel can be connected to the wastewater inlet channel section 121a. Specifically, for example, the housing includes a first drug outlet pipe 321 forming the drug outlet channel. The first drug outlet pipe 321 is connected to, for example, a portion of the aforementioned channel shell plate 120. The distance between the first drug outlet pipe 321 and the first wastewater outlet should not be too close to avoid interference between the drug outlet of the first drug outlet pipe 321 and the wastewater inlet of the first wastewater outlet. However, the distance between the first dispensing pipe 321 and the first drain outlet should not be too far. By setting the first dispensing pipe 321 upstream of the filter structure 140, the process of discharging the agent out of the casing 110 allows the agent to flow through the inlet channel section 121a and the filter structure 140, thus simultaneously regulating the dirt trapped in the inlet channel section 121a, the filter structure 140 itself, the dirt remaining on the filter structure 140, and the dirt remaining in the drain channel section 121b. Especially when the agent mainly plays a disinfection and sterilization role, it can disinfect and sterilize the first channel 121 and the filter structure 140 at the same time, and can prevent viruses or bacteria generated by the dirt trapped in the first channel 121 and / or the first channel 121 from being carried into the water tank during the subsequent sewage collection process, causing secondary pollution in the water tank.

[0059] Based on this, when the drug outlet channel is connected to the sewage inlet channel 121a, the first opening and closing component is first controlled to open, allowing the medicine stored in the drug storage chamber to enter the drug outlet channel. Then, the first opening and closing component is controlled to close, and the second opening and closing component is controlled to open, gradually introducing the medicine from the drug outlet channel into the sewage inlet channel 121a. During this process, the first pump body 130 can be initially in a closed state to appropriately extend the preset residence time of the medicine in the sewage inlet channel 121a and the drainage channel 121b, ensuring that the medicine is sufficient to regulate the sewage inlet channel 121a and the drainage channel 121b. After this, the first pump body 130 is then started to continue discharging the medicine out of the casing 110. Of course, in this scheme, the amount and / or type of medicine introduced from the drug storage chamber into the drug outlet channel should be ensured to be sufficient to exert an effect on the first channel 121 and the water tank, so as to avoid reducing the regulating effect on the water in the first channel 121 and / or the water tank.

[0060] Given any of the above embodiments, it can be understood that the agent transferred in the dispensing channel can be released naturally without external driving force. Alternatively, the agent transferred in the dispensing channel can be discharged outward by means of the first pump body 130. Or, in one embodiment, the water quality conditioning module 300 further includes a driving mechanism, which is located at the dispensing channel and is used to drive the agent in the dispensing channel to be released outward. The driving mechanism may be, but is not limited to, a second pump body 340, which is located at the dispensing channel and is capable of actively discharging the agent transferred in the dispensing channel outward from the casing 110 and / or into the first flow channel 121.

[0061] The aforementioned drug storage chamber and / or drug dispensing channel can be configured as one or at least two. When at least two drug dispensing channels are configured, each channel can be connected to the same flow channel segment or the same part of the housing 110. Alternatively, at least two of the drug dispensing channels can be connected to different flow channel segments or different parts of the housing 110, thereby dispersing the drug to different areas.

[0062] Similarly, when there are at least two storage chambers, each chamber can be used to store the same agent, so that any one chamber can serve as a backup for the remaining chambers. Alternatively, at least two of the storage chambers can be used to store different agents, allowing the water quality conditioning module 300 to form at least three conditioning schemes. When there are at least two storage chambers, each chamber is connected to the dispensing channel in a switchable manner, allowing each chamber to independently and controllably dispense agent into the dispensing channel.

[0063] Next, in one embodiment, the drug storage chamber includes a drug storage chamber and a pretreatment chamber. At least two drug storage chambers are independently provided, each used to store different drugs; the pretreatment chamber is connected between the outlet end of each drug storage chamber and the inlet end of the drug dispensing channel. Specifically, for example, the housing includes a first housing 310 and a second housing 330, the first housing 310 defining the drug storage chambers. Furthermore, all drug storage chambers may be defined simultaneously by one first housing 310, or at least one drug storage chamber may be defined separately by at least two first housings 310. The second housing 330 defines the pretreatment chamber. Each drug storage chamber may be separately configured with a pretreatment chamber. Alternatively, the same pretreatment chamber may be correspondingly connected to all drug storage chambers.

[0064] At this time, the first opening / closing component is located between the pretreatment chamber and the drug outlet channel. The water quality adjustment module 300 also includes a third opening / closing component, which is correspondingly located between the outlet end of each drug storage chamber and the pretreatment chamber, so as to independently control the connection and isolation between each drug storage chamber and the pretreatment chamber. The water quality adjustment module 300 may also include a first connecting pipe 331 and / or a second connecting pipe 332. The first connecting pipe 331 is connected between each drug storage chamber and the pretreatment chamber; the second connecting pipe 332 is connected between the first pump body 130 and the pretreatment chamber, and / or between the pretreatment chamber and the drug outlet channel, so as to allow the agent in the pretreatment chamber to be connected to the drug outlet channel.

[0065] It is understandable that when the medicine stored in the storage chamber can be used directly, the pretreatment chamber merely serves as a transfer point, moving the medicine to the dispensing channel. However, when the medicine stored in the storage chamber cannot be used directly, for example, when at least two medicines need to be proportioned, dissolved, or mixed, or when at least one medicine needs to be heated for pretreatment, the pretreatment chamber can perform pretreatment of the aforementioned at least two medicines. After pretreatment is completed, the treated medicine is then connected to the dispensing channel.

[0066] Furthermore, the water quality conditioning module 300 also includes a pretreatment mechanism, which is located in the housing and operates within the pretreatment chamber. The pretreatment mechanism includes at least one of a water supply mechanism, a heating mechanism, and a mixing mechanism. The pretreatment mechanism can be specifically configured according to actual needs. For example, the water supply mechanism can dissolve at least one agent, converting the solid agent into a solution of the desired concentration. The heating mechanism can, for example, appropriately heat at least one agent to allow it to exert its optimal efficacy. The mixing mechanism, for example, is a stirring mechanism or a vibration mechanism, which uniformly mixes at least two agents.

[0067] Of course, the necessary components installed on the housing 110 mentioned above may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the power supply module, control device 400, human-machine interaction module, etc.

[0068] The power supply module can adopt any power supply form, including but not limited to wireless charging modules, solar charging modules, and energy storage modules, which helps to save energy and protect the environment, and can support the long-term use of the water tank cleaning base station. The wireless charging module can be integrated between the water tank base station and the external power source, or between the cleaning robot and the water tank base station, reducing manual operation and increasing ease of use.

[0069] The human-computer interaction module includes an input module. The input module is located on the body 100 and is used to input numerical values. The input module can be configured as needed, for example, to input a voice recognition module or a display control module; at least one of these can be selected. It is used to establish communication and interaction between the user and the water tank cleaning base station. For example, the user can trigger commands through voice or touch to interact with the water tank base station; the user can also input specific values ​​of relevant parameters based on the input module. Of course, the water tank base station can also use the human-computer interaction module to achieve purposes such as preset abnormal alarms, or the user can use a display screen to understand relevant information in the water tank in real time, making the use of the water tank cleaning base station more intelligent and user-friendly. Specifically, the human-computer interaction module includes a prompt module, which can issue various necessary prompts. The prompt module can be located on the body 100 or wirelessly connected to the control device 400 on the body 100, such as a mobile terminal like a mobile phone or tablet. The prompting method of the prompt module is not limited; it can include, but is not limited to, emitting various sounds, text messages, and light.

[0070] Furthermore, based on one or more of the above embodiments, the pool cleaning system, in addition to the pool cleaning base station, also includes a cleaning robot. The cleaning robot includes a housing, which forms a second inlet, a second outlet, and a second flow channel connecting the second inlet and the second outlet. The cleaning robot also includes a dust box, which is equivalent to the aforementioned filter structure 140, and is capable of trapping solid waste entering the second flow channel through the second inlet within the dust box.

[0071] The cleaning robot and the pool cleaning base station have at least two states: a separated state and a docked state. In the separated state, the pool cleaning robot can work independently, for example, moving within the pool along a preset trajectory and cleaning debris such as from the pool walls during its movement. In the docked state, the pool cleaning base station can perform operations on the cleaning robot, such as charging, automatically emptying the dustbin, and automatically cleaning the dustbin itself. The cleaning robot can flexibly switch between the separated state and the docked state under the control of the control device 400.

[0072] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the aforementioned water tank cleaning base station can better operate in the mode of monitoring and adjusting the water quality in the tank, in a further embodiment, when the cleaning robot and the water tank base station are docked, the dispensing channel may also be provided with a fourth opening connected to the second flow channel, so that the agent in the dispensing channel can be introduced into the second flow channel. On the one hand, similar to the above, the agent can be used to simultaneously adjust the second flow channel, such as disinfection and sterilization; on the other hand, at least part of the agent can be transferred to the cleaning robot, and the agent can be dispersed and discharged to a larger area of ​​the tank by the movement of the cleaning robot.

[0073] Furthermore, based on one or more of the above embodiments, the control device 400 in the water tank cleaning base station / water tank cleaning system of the hardware operating environment involved in the embodiments of this application may include: a processor 410, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a communication bus 420, a user interface 430, a network interface 440, and a memory 450. The communication bus 420 is used to realize the connection and communication between these components. The user interface 430 may include a display screen and an input unit such as a keyboard; optionally, the user interface 430 may also include a standard wired interface or a wireless interface. The network interface 440 may optionally include a standard wired interface or a wireless interface (such as a Wi-Fi interface). The memory 450 may be a high-speed random access memory (RAM) or a stable non-volatile memory (NVM), such as a disk storage device. The memory 450 may also optionally be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 410.

[0074] The memory 450, which serves as a storage medium, may include an operating system, a network communication module, a user interface 430 module, and a water quality monitoring program for the water tank cleaning base station.

[0075] In the aforementioned control device 400, the network interface 440 is mainly used for data communication with the network server; the user interface 430 is mainly used for data interaction with the user; the processor 410 and memory 450 in the control device 400 of this application can be located within the control device 400. The control device 400 can be located in a water tank cleaning base station / water tank cleaning system. The control device 400 uses the processor 410 to call the water quality detection and adjustment program for the water tank cleaning base station stored in the memory 450, and executes the water quality detection and adjustment method for the water tank cleaning base station provided in this application embodiment.

[0076] This application provides a water quality monitoring method for a water tank cleaning base station. It is understood that this water quality monitoring method for a water tank cleaning base station can be based on the water tank cleaning base station and / or water tank cleaning system described in any of the above embodiments.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 6, which shows a first embodiment of the water quality monitoring and investigation method for a water tank cleaning base station provided in this application. Specifically, the water quality monitoring and investigation method for a water tank cleaning base station includes:

[0078] Step S100: Upon receiving a water quality inspection and adjustment command, control the water quality detection module 200 to start operation and acquire initial water quality information;

[0079] In this embodiment, the user can manually trigger the water quality inspection and adjustment command through the aforementioned input module; alternatively, the user can establish a correlation between the water quality inspection and adjustment command and other operating modes of the water tank cleaning system, the installation status of the water tank cleaning system, and the running time of the water tank cleaning system through pre-compiled programs, thereby achieving automatic triggering of the water quality inspection and adjustment command. In practical applications, the water quality inspection and adjustment command can be generated in ways such as timed triggering, frequency triggering, or cycle triggering.

[0080] When a water quality inspection command is triggered, the control device 400 operates in water quality inspection mode according to the command. In this mode, the water quality detection module 200 starts running and acquires initial water quality information. It should be noted that after starting, the water quality detection module 200 can perform water quality testing at fixed points or randomly. The specific testing method of the water quality detection module 200 can be either directly running according to the default program or running based on the options triggered by the aforementioned input module.

[0081] When the number of fixed points is at least two and they are distributed in different areas of the pool, the water quality detection module 200 may be configured to have at least two detection units 220, or the position of a single detection unit 220 relative to the housing 110 may be movable and adjustable, or a cleaning robot may be used to perform water quality detection in some fixed areas.

[0082] It is understood that a water quality detection module 200 for a specific water quality problem can be configured within the same water pool cleaning base station, depending on actual needs. This water quality detection module 200 includes one or at least two detection modules. When the water quality detection module 200 includes at least two detection modules, the two detection modules can have the same or different detection mechanisms. Alternatively, at least one water quality detection module 200 can be configured for at least two water quality problems. Similarly, this water quality detection module 200 includes one or at least two detection modules. And when the water quality detection module 200 includes at least two detection modules, the two detection modules can have the same or different detection mechanisms.

[0083] In a further embodiment, the water quality detection module 200 includes at least two detection modules, each with a different detection mechanism for the same water quality issue. For example, one detection module primarily uses different colors of transmitted light to distinguish different water quality conditions, while the other detection module primarily uses different electrical signals to distinguish different water quality conditions.

[0084] At this point, step S100 above may specifically include: selecting at least one detection module from the various detection modules as a standby detection module; when there are at least two standby detection modules, obtaining at least two pieces of water quality information based on each standby detection module; and then integrating the various pieces of water quality information according to preset rules to obtain the final initial water quality information. The selection criteria for standby detection modules are not limited; they may be, but are not limited to, based on the user's subjective wishes, manual confirmation based on the above input modules, or the system default, etc. The method of integrating at least two pieces of water quality information to obtain initial water quality information is also not limited; it may be, but is not limited to, data averaging or selecting feature values ​​from the data. Feature values ​​may be the maximum value, the median, high-frequency values, etc., and specific adjustments may be made according to different water quality problems.

[0085] In addition, after receiving the water quality inspection and adjustment instruction, and before the step of controlling the water quality detection module 200 to start operation, the following may also be included:

[0086] The control sensor is activated and operates, and it checks whether the water quality detection module 200 and / or the water quality conditioning module 300 are installed correctly; and,

[0087] If it is determined that the water quality testing module 200 and / or the water quality conditioning module 300 are not installed in place, the control prompt module will issue an installation abnormality prompt message.

[0088] In this embodiment, sensing devices can be pre-installed at the body 100 and / or the wall of the pool to be installed. These sensing devices can be, but are not limited to, photoelectric sensors, pressure sensors, image recognition sensors, etc. When the sensing devices are activated, they can detect the water quality detection module 200 and / or the water quality adjustment module 300. Only when it is confirmed that the water quality detection module 200 and / or the water quality adjustment module 300 are properly installed at the body 100 will the following steps, such as "controlling the water quality detection module 200 to start," be executed. If it is confirmed that the water quality detection module 200 and / or the water quality adjustment module 300 are not properly installed at the body 100, an installation error message will be issued to the user based on the aforementioned prompting module. Through this installation error message, the user can promptly correct the installation status, ensuring that the water quality detection module 200 and / or the water quality adjustment module 300 are properly installed at the body 100, and ensuring that the functions of the water quality detection module 200 and / or the water quality adjustment module 300 operate accurately.

[0089] Step S200: If the initial water quality information does not meet the preset water quality conditions, determine the water quality adjustment plan based on the initial water quality information;

[0090] Step S300: Start the water quality regulation module 300 and operate it according to the water quality regulation plan.

[0091] In this embodiment, when the control device 400 receives the initial water quality information, it first determines whether the initial water quality information meets the preset water quality conditions. If it does, no further water quality adjustment is needed; otherwise, if it does not, further water quality adjustment is required, and a water quality adjustment plan needs to be determined. The method for determining the water quality adjustment plan is not limited.

[0092] In one specific embodiment, a database can be pre-created within the control device 400. This database can associate individual values ​​or ranges of different water quality information with different water quality adjustment schemes. Thus, when initial water quality information is obtained in practical applications, the associated water quality adjustment scheme can be directly retrieved from the database. Conversely, if a given initial water quality information is not associated with any water quality adjustment scheme in the database, an anomaly alert can be issued, for example, based on the aforementioned prompt module, allowing the user to manually confirm the water quality adjustment scheme.

[0093] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the initial water quality information can be directly sent to the user based on the above-mentioned prompt module, and then the user can manually confirm the water quality adjustment plan according to experience.

[0094] Of course, there are no restrictions on the specific details of the water quality adjustment plan:

[0095] In one embodiment, the water quality conditioning scheme may include, but is not limited to, a scheme that adjusts at least one of the following: the type of reagent released, the amount of reagent released, the duration of reagent release, the method of reagent release, and the route of reagent release. Of course, the water quality conditioning scheme may also include other parameters besides those mentioned above, without limitation.

[0096] As specifically described above, the dispensing channel is provided with a first opening connecting to the drug storage chamber, a second opening connecting to the first flow channel 121, a third opening connecting to the outside of the body 100, and / or a fourth opening connecting to the second flow channel inside the cleaning robot when the cleaning robot docks with the water tank cleaning base station. The opening and closing components include a first opening and closing component located at the first opening, a second opening and closing component located at the second opening, a third opening and closing component located at the third opening, and / or a fourth opening and closing component located at the fourth opening (the fourth opening and closing component can be directly composed of a component that controls the water tank cleaning base station and the cleaning robot to switch between the separated state and the docking state). At this time, the water quality adjustment scheme includes an opening and closing control scheme for the opening and closing components of the first opening, the second opening, the third opening, and / or the fourth opening. Among them, the opening and closing status of the first opening and closing component (including opening degree, opening duration, opening frequency, etc.) determines the type and quantity of medicine entering the dispensing channel; the opening and closing status of the second, third, and fourth opening and closing components affects the state in which the medicine in the dispensing channel is directly or indirectly discharged to the outside of the housing 110. And / or, the water quality conditioning module 300 also includes a second pump body 340 located in the drug dispensing channel, and the water quality conditioning scheme includes an opening and closing control scheme for the second pump body 340. The operating parameters of the second pump body 340 (including power, opening and closing time, etc.) affect the flow rate and velocity of the agent discharged directly or indirectly from the dispensing channel to the outside of the casing 110. And / or, the water quality conditioning scheme includes a path planning scheme for the cleaning robot. In this case, the dispensing channel is provided with the aforementioned fourth opening, and the agent can be at least partially connected to the second flow channel. By planning the walking path of the cleaning robot, the discharge area of ​​the agent in the pool, as well as the type and amount of agent discharged in each discharge area, can be determined.

[0097] Once the above water quality adjustment plan is determined, the control device 400 can control the water quality adjustment module 300 to start operation according to the water quality adjustment plan, so as to ensure that the water quality inspection and adjustment operation is completed more efficiently and accurately.

[0098] In the technical solution provided in this application, both the water quality detection module 200 and the water quality adjustment module 300 are integrated into the water pool cleaning base station. This allows for better utilization of the larger assembly space within the water pool cleaning base station and avoids adding structural burden to the water pool cleaning robot used in conjunction with the base station. When a user has a need for water quality detection and adjustment, the water quality detection module 200 can instantly detect the water quality in the current water pool to obtain initial water quality information. This initial water quality information is then instantly sent to the control device 400, where the intelligent analysis by the control device 400 matches a more suitable water quality adjustment scheme. The water quality adjustment module 300 operates according to this scheme, enabling the water in the current water pool to be targeted, more efficient, and more accurate in completing water quality detection and adjustment operations, thus further enhancing the cleaning effect on the water pool.

[0099] After completing one water quality adjustment in the pool, the inspection and adjustment mode can be ended directly. Alternatively, after step S300 is executed, the following steps are also included:

[0100] The water quality detection module 200 is started and running, and the adjusted water quality information is obtained.

[0101] After the adjusted water quality information meets the preset water quality conditions, the water quality adjustment module 300 is shut down.

[0102] In this embodiment, after one water quality adjustment is completed, step S100 can be repeated. The water quality information acquired again after the water quality detection module 200 starts running is the adjusted water quality information. It can be understood that the method of acquiring the adjusted water quality information can be completely consistent with the method of acquiring the initial water quality information, or even more simplified. After the adjusted water quality information is acquired, it can be analyzed. If the adjusted water quality information meets the preset water quality conditions, then there is no need to perform water quality adjustment again. The water quality adjustment module and the water quality detection module 200 can be controlled to shut down simultaneously or later. Conversely, if the adjusted water quality information does not meet the preset water quality conditions, water quality adjustment is required again. This can be done by referring to steps S200-S300 above, repeatedly determining a new water quality adjustment scheme based on the adjusted water quality information, and then controlling the water quality adjustment module to start running according to the water quality adjustment scheme. After completing the second water quality adjustment, the above steps are repeated to obtain the second adjusted water quality information... until the final adjusted water quality information meets the preset water quality conditions.

[0103] Furthermore, if the water pool cleaning base station, as described above, also includes a notification module installed on the body 100; the water quality adjustment module 300 includes a housing, the housing forming a drug storage chamber for storing the drug and a drug dispensing channel; then after the above-mentioned step of controlling the water quality adjustment module 300 to shut down, the following is also included:

[0104] Obtain the current storage status of the medicine in the medicine storage chamber;

[0105] When the current storage status does not meet the preset storage conditions, the control prompt module issues a drug storage abnormality prompt message.

[0106] In this embodiment, after completing the above water quality inspection and adjustment steps, the storage status of the reagents in the storage chamber can be confirmed. The current storage status can be the quantity of reagents stored, corresponding to preset storage conditions, i.e., whether the quantity has reached the minimum storage threshold. Alternatively, the current storage status can be the type of reagent stored, corresponding to preset storage conditions, i.e., whether the type of reagent meets the set type threshold. Or, the current storage status can be the storage environment of the reagents, such as temperature and humidity, corresponding to preset storage conditions, i.e., whether the storage conditions meet preset settings. And so on, without limitation.

[0107] When the current storage status meets the preset storage conditions, the water quality monitoring and adjustment mode can be completely terminated. Conversely, when the current storage status does not meet the preset storage conditions, the control prompt module issues a storage abnormality prompt message, reminding the user to replenish the dosage, type of reagent, and adjust the storage conditions to ensure the reagent has a longer storage life.

[0108] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 7, which shows a second embodiment of the water quality monitoring method for a water tank cleaning base station provided in this application. Specifically, the water quality monitoring method for a water tank cleaning base station includes:

[0109] Step A100: Upon receiving a water quality inspection and investigation instruction, obtain the target demand information for water quality inspection and investigation;

[0110] Step A200: Start the water quality detection module 200 and acquire initial water quality information;

[0111] Step A300: When the initial water quality information does not meet the preset water quality conditions, determine a water quality adjustment plan based on the initial water quality information and the target demand information;

[0112] Step A400: Start the water quality regulation module 300 and operate it according to the water quality regulation plan.

[0113] In this embodiment, steps A100 to A400 can be executed corresponding to steps S100 to S300 in the first embodiment described above. The difference is that this embodiment enhances the human-computer interaction in the water quality inspection and adjustment mode.

[0114] Specifically, upon receiving a water quality inspection and control instruction, the user first obtains the target requirements information for the water quality inspection and control:

[0115] The target demand information can be directly generated by the system default of the water tank cleaning base station. The system can pre-generate multiple different target demand information based on factors such as different seasons and geographical environments. Then, upon receiving a water quality inspection and control command, it directly calls upon the default target demand information.

[0116] Alternatively, the target requirement information can be retrieved from historical data. For example, this is not the first time the water pool has undergone water quality testing. Relevant parameters from previous water quality tests are stored in the control device 400. When a water quality testing command is received, the current target requirement information can be directly determined from the parameters of the previous one or more water quality tests.

[0117] Alternatively, as described above, when the water pool cleaning base station also includes a prompt module and an input module installed on the body 100, the steps for obtaining the target demand information for water quality inspection and adjustment include: controlling the prompt module to issue input prompt information and controlling the input module to start operation; after receiving the target demand information generated by the input module, controlling the prompt module to issue input completion information and controlling the input module to shut down. The prompt information prompts the user to input the target demand information through the input module. During this stage, the input module starts operation, and at least the input function is enabled. When the user completes the input of the target demand information based on the input module, the prompt information issues input completion information to assist the user in confirming that the operation has been completed. During this stage, the input module can optionally be shut down, at least disabling the input function to prevent accidental user input.

[0118] In light of the above, the water quality regulation plan is determined based on both initial water quality information and target demand information. The specific content of the target demand information is not limited and may include, but is not limited to, the current structure of the water tank, the installation information of the water tank cleaning base station within the tank, the user's target monitoring and regulation duration, and / or the user's target monitoring and regulation effect. The water tank structure information may include, but is not limited to, the tank's dimensions, water volume, and surrounding environment; the installation information of the water tank cleaning base station within the tank may include, for example, the installation location of the water tank cleaning base station. In this way, the potential pollution level, regulation degree, and regulation range of the water body within the tank can be roughly estimated. The user's target monitoring and regulation duration indicates the range of time the required reagent's efficacy will last; similarly, the user's target monitoring and regulation effect indicates the required reagent strength, allowing for the selection of more suitable reagent types and dosages in the water quality regulation plan, achieving a monitoring and regulation effect that both achieves the monitoring and regulation objectives and meets user needs.

[0119] Similarly, when the water quality testing module 200 includes at least two testing modules with different testing mechanisms, the process of selecting at least one standby testing module from each testing module can also refer to the target requirement information, such as whether some testing modules are too noisy, whether the light signals they emit cause discomfort to users, or whether they consume too much energy, so that a more suitable standby testing module can be selected.

[0120] Example 2:

[0121] In existing technologies, pools include, for example, swimming pools. Swimming pools are venues where people engage in swimming activities or competitions. Most swimming pools are built on land and can be divided into general swimming pools and heated swimming pools based on water temperature. To ensure the comfort and safety of people in the pool, it is necessary to clean the pool periodically. There is currently a type of pool robot that can automatically clean pools, replacing manual labor. However, existing pool robots generally only remove solid waste. When water quality problems occur, such as abnormal levels of urea, turbidity, pH value, free residual chlorine, total chlorine, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), TDS, COD, conductivity, total bacterial count, and coliform bacteria, existing pool robots generally cannot provide better solutions. Furthermore, integrating water quality adjustment modules into existing pool robots can easily lead to an excessively large overall size, increasing manufacturing costs and performance to some extent.

[0122] To address the aforementioned issues, the main objective of this application is to propose a base station and a water pool cleaning system capable of water quality monitoring and adjustment, aiming to solve the problem that traditional water pool robots cannot effectively perform water quality monitoring and adjustment.

[0123] Please refer to Figures 8 to 11. This application provides a water quality monitoring base station for a water tank and a water tank cleaning system thereon. For ease of understanding, in the following embodiments, the water quality monitoring base station for a water tank and the water tank cleaning system thereon are arranged in pairs of intersecting horizontal, vertical, and vertical directions. The horizontal and vertical directions are two directions that are approximately perpendicular to the vertical direction on a horizontal plane.

[0124] Specifically, the water quality monitoring and adjustment base station provided in this application is used to be installed on the wall of the water pool to be installed. The water quality monitoring and adjustment base station includes a body 100a, a water quality detection module 200a, and a water quality adjustment module 300a. The device 100a is installed on the wall of the pool to be installed; the water quality detection module 200a is located on the device 100a and is used to detect the water quality of the pool; the water quality adjustment module 300a is located on the device 100a and includes a shell and a first opening and closing member. The shell forms a drug storage chamber for storing the drug and a drug dispensing channel. The drug dispensing channel is used to connect the drug storage chamber and the outside of the device 100a. The first opening and closing member is located at the connection between the drug storage chamber and the drug dispensing channel and can movably open and close the drug storage chamber and the drug dispensing channel so that when the connection is made, the drug dispensing channel will release the drug from the drug storage chamber to the outside of the device 100a.

[0125] In the technical solution provided in this application, both the water quality detection module 200a and the water quality adjustment module 300a are integrated into the base station for the water tank. This allows for better utilization of the larger assembly space within the base station and avoids adding structural burden to the water tank cleaning robot used in conjunction with the base station. When a user has a need for water quality testing and adjustment, the water quality detection module 200a can instantly test the water quality in the current water tank. The water quality adjustment module 300a can, based on the detection data from the water quality detection module 200a, perform targeted, more efficient, and more accurate water quality adjustment on the current water tank, which helps to further enhance the cleaning effect on the water tank.

[0126] Generally, a water quality monitoring and adjustment base station for a water tank includes a body 100a, which includes a housing 110a and some necessary components installed on the housing 110a. The housing 110a is installed on the wall of the water tank to be installed. The specific location of the wall to be installed is not limited; it can be, but is not limited to, the bottom wall and / or side wall of the water tank. However, it is understood that when the water quality monitoring and adjustment base station in this design operates in the monitoring and adjustment mode to detect and / or adjust the water in the water tank, it is necessary to ensure that the parts of the water quality detection module 200a that perform the detection function and the parts of the water quality adjustment module 300a that perform the water quality adjustment function are not obstructed as much as possible. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to ensure that the installation of the housing 110a on the wall to be installed, the installation of the water quality detection module 200a on the housing 110a, and the installation of the water quality adjustment module 300a on the housing 110a do not interfere with each other.

[0127] The housing 110a may generally have a first inlet 111a, a first outlet 112a, and a first flow channel 121a connecting the first inlet 111a and the first outlet 112a. The first inlet 111a and / or the first outlet 112a may be directly formed on the housing 110a, or the first inlet 111a and / or the first outlet 112a may be defined by forming mounting holes in the housing 110a and then defining the first inlet 111a and / or the first outlet 112a by other components assembled at the mounting holes.

[0128] The body 100a also includes a first pump body 130a and a filter structure 140a. The first pump body 130a is located in the first flow channel 121a to drive external water to enter the first flow channel 121a from the first sewage inlet 111a and then discharge it to the outside through the first drain outlet 112a. The filter structure 140a is located in the first flow channel 121a to divide the first flow channel 121a into a sewage inlet flow channel section 1211a near the first sewage inlet 111a and a drainage flow channel section 1212a near the first drain outlet 112a. The filter structure 140a is used to trap solids in the water at the sewage inlet flow channel section 1211a.

[0129] For example, the first sewage inlet 111a can be directly opened at the housing 110a, and the housing wall of the housing 110a with the first sewage inlet 111a can be a straight housing wall, an outwardly convex housing wall, or an inwardly concave housing wall.

[0130] The housing 110a is also provided with a first mounting hole, and the body 100a also includes a flow channel shell plate 120a and a drain pipe. The flow channel shell plate 120a is installed inside the housing 110a, and the flow channel shell plate 120a is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole. The first through hole is sealed and connected to the first sewage inlet 111a; the second through hole is correspondingly provided to the first mounting hole. The drain pipe is sequentially passed through the first through hole and the first mounting hole, and is connected to the first pump body 130a, which is at least partially housed in the flow channel shell wall. When the first sewage inlet 111a is located on one longitudinal side of the housing 110a, the first drain outlet 112a can be located on both transverse sides of the housing 110a. In this case, two drain pipes are correspondingly provided, and the two drain pipes are connected to the same first pump body 130a.

[0131] The filter structure 140a is built into the flow channel shell plate 120a. In this case, the cavity section within the flow channel shell plate 120a located between the filter structure 140a and the first through hole constitutes the aforementioned inlet flow channel section 1211a; the cavity section within the flow channel shell plate 120a located between the filter structure 140a and the second through hole, together with the drain pipe body, constitutes the aforementioned drainage flow channel section 1212a. The filter structure 140a can be plate-shaped and radially spaced along the first flow channel 121a; or the filter structure 140a can be frame-shaped, enclosing and defining the inlet flow channel section 1211a.

[0132] When the first pump body 130a starts running, a suction airflow is formed at the first flow channel 121a. This suction airflow draws water from the water tank outside the casing 110a into the first flow channel 121a through the first sewage inlet 111a, and finally discharges it outward through the first drain outlet 112a. During this process, solids and other contaminants carried in the water are trapped in the sewage inlet section 1211a by the filter structure 140a, achieving the purpose of sewage collection.

[0133] In view of the above, in practical applications, the water quality detection module 200a generally includes a main body 210a and a detection unit 220a. The detection unit 220a needs to be in contact with the water in the pool at least partially. The main body 210a integrates the relevant components required for detection, which may be, but are not limited to, a signal receiving and transmitting unit, a signal storage unit, and a power supply unit. When the water quality detection module is installed at the housing 110a, specifically, the detection unit 220a can be directly exposed and installed outside the housing 110a to directly detect the water quality of the water surrounding the housing 110a. Alternatively, a detection channel can be reserved inside the housing 110a, which introduces the water surrounding the housing 110a. The detection unit 220a is installed inside this detection channel but not exposed outside the housing 110a, allowing direct detection of the water quality of the water connected within the detection channel.

[0134] In a further embodiment, at least the detection unit 220a in the water quality detection module 200a can be positioned constantly relative to the housing 110a, or its position relative to the housing 110a can be adjusted. Specifically, the position of the detection unit 220a relative to the housing 110a can be vertically adjustable, allowing water quality testing to be performed on water at different depths within the same area of ​​the pool. Alternatively, the position of the detection unit 220a relative to the housing 110a can be horizontally and / or vertically adjustable, allowing water quality testing to be performed on water at different areas within the same depth of the pool. Various methods can be used to achieve this adjustable position of the detection unit 220a relative to the housing 110a. One method is, but is not limited to, forming a magnetic surface in at least a partial area of ​​the housing 110a, and then providing a magnetic structure at the detection unit 220a, where the magnetic structure can magnetically attract any part of the magnetic surface. Alternatively, a sliding groove can be provided at the housing 110a, and a sliding protrusion can be provided on the detection part 220a. By operating the sliding protrusion to slide in the sliding groove, the position of the detection part 220a relative to the housing 110a can be flexibly changed.

[0135] Similarly, regarding the water quality testing module 200a, when the main body 100a includes the housing 110a, the water quality regulating module 300a can be at least partially external to the housing 110a, meaning it is exposed outside the housing 110a. In this case, the water quality regulating module 300a exposed outside the housing 110a can be located at the top, any side, or the bottom of the housing 110a. Alternatively, the water quality regulating module 300a can also be at least partially built into the housing 110a, meaning it is housed within the housing 110a. In this case, the water quality regulating module 300a housed within the housing 110a can also be located at the top, any side, or the bottom of the housing 110a.

[0136] As described above, when the water quality testing module 200a includes a housing, and the housing defines a drug storage chamber and a drug dispensing channel, for ease of understanding, the portion of the housing defining the drug dispensing channel can be defined as the drug dispensing pipe. The connection between the drug storage chamber and the drug dispensing channel is the first opening; the first opening / closing element is, for example, a valve body or a gate body. By operating the first opening / closing element to open and close the first opening, the drug stored in the drug storage chamber can be connected to the drug dispensing pipe according to actual needs in terms of quantity and timing. At this time:

[0137] In one embodiment, regardless of whether the shell forming the drug storage chamber is exposed outside or contained inside the housing 110a, if the drug dispensing pipe is directly exposed outside the housing 110a, or if at least a portion of the drug dispensing pipe is contained inside the housing 110a but its outlet end needs to penetrate outward through the housing 110a and be exposed outside the housing 110a, the outlet end of the drug dispensing pipe constitutes a third opening connecting to the outside of the housing 110a. The drug dispensing channel defined by the drug dispensing pipe is directly connected to the water body outside the housing 110a. In this case, the drug entering the dispensing channel through the drug storage chamber can directly enter the water tank and act on the water body. When no driving force is applied to the dispensing channel, the drug in the dispensing channel is equivalent to being naturally and slowly released in the water tank, and can be naturally released after a certain period of time under the action of the water flow in the water tank. When a driving force is applied to the drug outlet channel, the drug inside the channel can actively enter the pool under the driving force and act on the water.

[0138] In another embodiment, regardless of whether the shell forming the drug storage chamber is exposed outside or contained within the housing 110a, if the entire section of the drug dispensing pipe is completely contained within the housing 110a, the drug dispensing channel defined by the drug dispensing pipe cannot directly communicate with the water outside the housing 110a. In this case, one option is to additionally define an adjustment channel within the housing 110a, which connects the drug dispensing channel and the outside of the housing 110a, thereby guiding the drug in the drug dispensing channel to be discharged outside the housing 110a. Alternatively, in another option, the drug dispensing channel can be connected to the first flow channel 121a, thereby guiding the drug in the drug dispensing channel to the first flow channel 121a, where the suction airflow generated by the first pump 130a allows the drug to be discharged outside the housing 110a along with the water in the first flow channel 121a.

[0139] When the drug outlet channel is connected to the first flow channel 121a:

[0140] In one embodiment, the dispensing channel has a second opening communicating with the first flow channel 121a. The water quality conditioning module 300a also includes a second opening / closing component, which is located at the second opening and can movably connect and disconnect the dispensing channel and the first flow channel 121a. Similarly, the second opening / closing component can be, for example, a valve or a door. By operating the second opening / closing component to open and close the second opening, the medication transferred in the dispensing channel can be introduced into the first flow channel 121a in the required amount and at the required time, according to actual needs. In this way, the water quality conditioning module 300a does not require additional driving force and can directly utilize the suction driving force generated by the first pump body 130a fixed in the water quality monitoring and conditioning base station to simultaneously achieve the purpose of discharging the medication into the water tank.

[0141] In one embodiment, the dispensing channel can be connected to the drainage channel section 1212a. Specifically, for example, the housing includes a second dispensing pipe 322a forming the dispensing channel. The second dispensing pipe 322a is connected to any section of, for example, the aforementioned drainage pipe. In this case, both the housing forming the drug storage chamber and the second dispensing pipe 322a can be located within the housing 110a, but outside the flow channel shell plate 120a. By connecting the dispensing channel to the drainage channel section 1212a, the agent transferred within the dispensing channel can be directly discharged outwards along with the water in the drainage channel section 1212a, resulting in a shorter flow path for the agent within the first flow channel 121a. This is more suitable for discharging agents with immediate effects, primarily for water quality regulation within the pool.

[0142] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the drug outlet channel can be connected to the wastewater inlet channel section 1211a. Specifically, for example, the housing includes a first drug outlet pipe 321a forming the drug outlet channel. The first drug outlet pipe 321a is connected to, for example, a portion of the aforementioned channel shell plate 120a. The distance between the first drug outlet pipe 321a and the first wastewater outlet should not be too close to avoid interference between the drug outlet of the first drug outlet pipe 321a and the wastewater inlet of the first wastewater outlet. However, the distance between the first dispensing pipe 321a and the first drain outlet should not be too far. By setting the first dispensing pipe 321a upstream of the filter structure 140a, the process of discharging the agent out of the casing 110a allows the agent to flow through the inlet channel section 1211a and the filter structure 140a, thus simultaneously regulating the dirt trapped in the inlet channel section 1211a, the filter structure 140a itself, the dirt remaining on the filter structure 140a, and the dirt remaining in the drain channel section 1212a. Especially when the agent mainly plays a disinfection and sterilization role, it can disinfect and sterilize the first channel 121a and the filter structure 140a at the same time, and can prevent viruses or bacteria generated by the dirt trapped in the first channel 121a and / or the first channel 121a from being carried into the water tank during the subsequent sewage collection process, causing secondary pollution in the water tank.

[0143] Based on this, when the drug outlet channel is connected to the sewage inlet channel 1211a, the first opening and closing component is first controlled to open, so that the drug stored in the drug storage chamber can be connected to the drug outlet channel; then the first opening and closing component is controlled to close and the second opening and closing component is controlled to open, so that the drug in the drug outlet channel is gradually connected to the sewage inlet channel 1211a. During this process, the first pump body 130a can be in the closed state first, so as to appropriately prolong the preset residence time of the drug in the sewage inlet channel 1211a and the drainage channel 1212a, so that the drug can sufficiently regulate the sewage inlet channel 1211a and the drainage channel 1212a. Then the first pump body 130a is controlled to start running, so that the drug continues to be discharged to the outside of the casing 110a. Of course, in this scheme, the amount and / or type of the medicine connected from the medicine storage chamber to the medicine outlet channel should be as sufficient as possible to have an effect on the first flow channel 121a and the water tank, so as to avoid reducing the conditioning effect on the water in the first flow channel 121a and / or the water tank.

[0144] Given any of the above embodiments, it can be understood that the agent transferred in the dispensing channel can be released naturally without external driving force. Alternatively, the agent transferred in the dispensing channel can be discharged outward by means of the first pump body 130a. Or, in one embodiment, the water quality conditioning module 300a further includes a driving mechanism, which is located at the dispensing channel and is used to drive the agent in the dispensing channel to be released outward. The driving mechanism may be, but is not limited to, a second pump body 340a, which is located at the dispensing channel and is capable of actively discharging the agent transferred in the dispensing channel outward from the housing 110a and / or into the first flow channel 121a.

[0145] The aforementioned drug storage chamber and / or drug dispensing channel can be configured as one or at least two. When at least two drug dispensing channels are configured, each channel can be connected to the same flow channel segment or the same part of the housing 110a. Alternatively, at least two of the drug dispensing channels can be connected to different flow channel segments or different parts of the housing 110a, thereby dispersing the drug to different areas.

[0146] Similarly, when there are at least two storage chambers, each chamber can be used to store the same chemical, so that any one chamber can serve as a backup for the remaining chambers. Alternatively, at least two of the storage chambers can be used to store different chemicals, allowing the water quality conditioning module 300a to form at least three conditioning schemes. When there are at least two storage chambers, each chamber is connected to the dispensing channel in a switchable manner, allowing each chamber to independently and controllably dispense chemicals into the dispensing channel.

[0147] Next, in one embodiment, the drug storage chamber includes a drug storage chamber and a pretreatment chamber. At least two drug storage chambers are independently provided, each used to store different drugs; the pretreatment chamber is connected between the outlet end of each drug storage chamber and the inlet end of the drug dispensing channel. Specifically, for example, the housing includes a first housing 310a and a second housing 330a, the first housing 310a defining the drug storage chambers. Furthermore, all drug storage chambers may be defined simultaneously by one first housing 310a, or at least one drug storage chamber may be defined separately by at least two first housings 310a. The second housing 330a defines the pretreatment chamber. Each drug storage chamber may be separately configured with a pretreatment chamber. Alternatively, the same pretreatment chamber may be correspondingly connected to all drug storage chambers.

[0148] At this point, the first opening / closing component is positioned between the pretreatment chamber and the dispensing channel. The water quality conditioning module 300a also includes a third opening / closing component, which is positioned one-to-one between the outlet end of each drug storage chamber and the pretreatment chamber, enabling independent control of the connection and disconnection between each drug storage chamber and the pretreatment chamber. Specifically, the water quality conditioning module 300a may also include a first connecting pipe 331a and / or a second connecting pipe 332a. The first connecting pipe 331a connects between each drug storage chamber and the pretreatment chamber; the second connecting pipe 332a connects between the first pump body 130a and the pretreatment chamber, and / or between the pretreatment chamber and the dispensing channel, enabling the agent in the pretreatment chamber to be connected to the dispensing channel.

[0149] It is understandable that when the medicine stored in the storage chamber can be used directly, the pretreatment chamber merely serves as a transfer point, moving the medicine to the dispensing channel. However, when the medicine stored in the storage chamber cannot be used directly, for example, when at least two medicines need to be proportioned, dissolved, or mixed, or when at least one medicine needs to be heated for pretreatment, the pretreatment chamber can perform pretreatment of the aforementioned at least two medicines. After pretreatment is completed, the treated medicine is then connected to the dispensing channel.

[0150] Furthermore, the water quality conditioning module 300a also includes a pretreatment mechanism, which is located in the housing and operates within the pretreatment chamber. The pretreatment mechanism includes at least one of a water supply mechanism, a heating mechanism, and a mixing mechanism. The pretreatment mechanism can be specifically configured according to actual needs. For example, the water supply mechanism can dissolve at least one agent, converting the solid agent into a solution of the desired concentration. The heating mechanism can, for example, appropriately heat at least one agent to allow it to exert its optimal efficacy. The mixing mechanism, for example, is a stirring mechanism or a vibration mechanism, which uniformly mixes at least two agents.

[0151] Of course, the necessary components installed at the housing 110a mentioned above may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the power supply module, control device, human-machine interaction module, etc.

[0152] The power supply module can adopt any power supply form, including but not limited to wireless charging modules, solar charging modules, and energy storage modules, which helps to save energy and protect the environment, and can support the long-term use of the water tank base station that can be monitored and adjusted for water quality. Among them, the wireless charging module can be integrated between the water tank base station and the external power source, or between the cleaning robot and the water tank base station, reducing manual operation and increasing ease of use.

[0153] The human-computer interaction module includes an input module. The input module is located on the main body 100a and is used to input numerical values. The input module can be configured as needed, for example, to input a voice recognition module or a display control module; at least one of these can be selected. It is used to establish communication and interaction between the user and the water tank base station for water quality monitoring and adjustment. For example, the user can trigger commands through voice or touch control to interact with the water tank base station; the user can also input specific values ​​of relevant parameters based on the input module. Of course, the water tank base station can also use the human-computer interaction module to achieve purposes such as preset abnormal alarms, or the user can view relevant information in the water tank in real time through a display screen, making the use of the water tank base station for water quality monitoring and adjustment more intelligent and user-friendly.

[0154] Furthermore, based on one or more of the above embodiments, the pool cleaning system, in addition to the pool base station for water quality monitoring and adjustment, also includes a cleaning robot. The cleaning robot includes a housing, which forms a second inlet, a second outlet, and a second flow channel connecting the second inlet and the second outlet. The cleaning robot also includes a dust box, which is equivalent to the aforementioned filter structure 140a, and is capable of trapping solid waste entering the second flow channel through the second inlet within the dust box.

[0155] The cleaning robot and the water quality monitoring base station for the pool have at least two states: a separated state and a docked state. In the separated state, the cleaning robot can work independently, for example, walking within the pool along a preset trajectory and cleaning debris such as from the pool walls during its movement. In the docked state, the water quality monitoring base station can perform operations on the cleaning robot, such as charging, automatic emptying of the dustbin, and automatic dustbin emptying. The cleaning robot can flexibly switch between the separated state and the docked state under the control of the control device.

[0156] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the aforementioned water quality monitoring base station can better operate in the water quality monitoring mode within the pool, in a further embodiment, when the cleaning robot and the water pool base station are docked, the dispensing channel may also have a fourth opening connected to the second flow channel, thereby allowing the reagent in the dispensing channel to enter the second flow channel. On the one hand, similar to the above, the reagent can simultaneously regulate the second flow channel, for example, by disinfection and sterilization; on the other hand, at least part of the reagent can be transferred to the cleaning robot, and through the robot's movement, the reagent can be dispersed and discharged to a larger area of ​​the pool.

[0157] Example 3:

[0158] In existing technologies, water tank maintenance, especially in the field of swimming pool maintenance, requires regular testing of the pool's water quality. Based on the test results, various water quality regulating agents are added, including but not limited to disinfectants, pH adjusters, adsorbents, turbidities, buffers, antibacterial agents, and algaecides. To improve the quality and convenience of water tank maintenance, agents can be added directly to the pool via a base station or by supplying agents to cleaning equipment. However, users cannot know the agent inventory at the base station in a timely manner, nor can they confirm whether the agents have been used up; they can only confirm this through periodic checks. This undoubtedly increases the cost of water tank maintenance for users, not only wasting time and effort, but also potentially leading to ineffective water quality regulation due to the failure to detect agent depletion in a timely manner, affecting the normal use and hygiene of the pool.

[0159] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the main purpose of this application is to provide a drug storage component and a water tank cleaning base station capable of detecting the drug inventory in the base station.

[0160] Please refer to Figures 12 to 17. This application provides a reagent storage component 100b and a base station having the same. Please refer to Figures 12 and 13. This application provides a water tank cleaning base station 200b. The water tank cleaning base station 200b can be installed inside or outside the water tank depending on the actual usage scenario. The main function of the water tank cleaning base station 200b is to provide a stopping point for mobile cleaning equipment used for cleaning the water tank, and to provide various supports for the mobile cleaning equipment, including but not limited to charging, waste collection, and adding water quality conditioning agents.

[0161] The water tank cleaning base station 200b includes a body 210b, which provides space for the installation and support of various modules within the base station. The body 210b can be designed in various styles, and the material can be selected according to needs to meet different usage scenarios. The body 210b can house a power supply module for charging mobile cleaning equipment, a waste collection module for collecting waste brought back by the mobile cleaning equipment, and a chemical storage module for adding various water quality conditioning agents to the mobile cleaning equipment. In this embodiment, the chemical storage module includes a chemical storage component 100b, which stores various water quality conditioning agents and has the function of detecting the agent level. Preferably, an operation panel can be provided on the body 210b to facilitate users in viewing agent level information and controlling the operation of the water tank cleaning base station 200b.

[0162] In an optional embodiment, the agent storage component 100b is not used to provide agents to the mobile cleaning equipment, but to add agents directly to the pool. It is understood that in this case, the pool cleaning base station 200b should be set in the pool.

[0163] Please refer to Figures 13 and 14. The medicine storage assembly 100b is disposed within the body 210b and includes a medicine storage section 10b and a detection mechanism. The medicine storage section 10b has a chamber 11b for storing medicine and a medicine outlet communicating with the chamber 11b. The water tank cleaning base station 200b can supply medicine to the water tank and / or cleaning equipment through the medicine outlet. The detection mechanism is disposed outside the medicine storage section 10b or integrated into the medicine storage section 10b and is used to detect the amount of medicine stored in the medicine storage section 10b.

[0164] It is understood that the water tank cleaning base station 200b should also include a control device and a communication device. The control device can acquire the test results from the testing agency and send the test results or information related to the reagent inventory obtained based on the test results to the corresponding terminal through the communication device to remind the user to add reagents in a timely manner. The terminal can be a display device on the water tank cleaning base station 200b, such as an operation panel, or it can be a remote communication device, such as a user's mobile phone.

[0165] In this embodiment, the chamber 11b of the medicine storage unit 10b is used to store medicine, and the medicine outlet allows the base station to supply medicine to the water tank and / or cleaning equipment, meeting the need for adding medicine during water tank maintenance. The detection mechanism can detect the medicine level, solving the problem in the prior art where users cannot know the medicine level in the base station in a timely manner. Users no longer need to spend time and effort checking the medicine level periodically, reducing maintenance costs. Furthermore, it avoids situations where the water quality in the tank cannot be effectively adjusted due to the failure to detect the medicine depletion in time, ensuring the normal use and hygiene of the water tank.

[0166] Based on the above embodiment, the type of detection mechanism is not limited. For example, the detection mechanism includes at least one of the following: weight detection device 20b, Hall effect detection device 30b, capacitance detection device 40b, probe detection device 50b, photoelectric detection device 60b, and laser detection device 70b.

[0167] When a testing organization uses different types of testing devices, each has its unique advantages. The weight detection device 20b determines the drug quantity by detecting the load weight through the support platform 21b and a weight detection sensor. It has a simple structure and accurate measurement, suitable for detecting both solid and liquid drugs. The Hall effect detection device 30b uses a float 31b and a Hall effect sensor 32b to determine the liquid drug quantity by detecting the position of the float 31b, providing real-time and intuitive feedback on quantity changes. The capacitance detection device 40b determines the quantity by detecting the dielectric constant of the liquid stored in the chamber 11b, offering high accuracy for liquid drug detection. The probe detection device 50b determines the drug quantity based on the conduction state of the first probe 51b and the second probe 52b, offering low cost and ease of implementation. The photoelectric detection device 60b incorporates a photoelectric emitter and a photoelectric receiver in the drug dispensing pipe 14b, directly detecting the dispensing status and thus determining the quantity. The laser detection device 70b utilizes a laser emitter 71b and a laser receiver 72b, enabling non-contact detection with minimal impact on the internal structure of the drug storage component 100b.

[0168] Further, referring to Figures 13 and 14, the drug storage section 10b includes a first drug storage section 10b for storing solid drugs and / or a second drug storage section 10b for storing liquid drugs. The first and second drug storage sections 10b each include a housing 12b, within which the aforementioned chamber 11b for storing drugs is formed. Preferably, the housing 12b may also be provided with partitions to store multiple drugs as needed. The detection mechanism includes a first detection mechanism for detecting the amount of drug stored in the first drug storage section 10b. The first detection mechanism is a weight detection device 20b, specifically designed for detecting the amount of solid drugs. The detection mechanism also includes a second detection mechanism for detecting the amount of drug stored in the second drug storage section 10b. The second detection mechanism includes at least one of the following: a weight detection device 20b, a Hall effect detection device 30b, a capacitance detection device 40b, a probe detection device 50b, a photoelectric detection device 60b, and a laser detection device 70b. Preferably, the second testing institution includes two or more different types of testing devices, so that the test results can be calibrated and verified by different testing devices, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0169] Based on the above embodiments, please continue referring to Figure 15. Optionally, the weight detection device 20b consists of a support platform 21b and a weight detection sensor. The support platform 21b is located below the box 12b and serves to support the box 12b. The weight detection sensor is responsible for measuring the weight supported by the support platform 21b to determine the remaining amount of medicine in the box 12b. In this embodiment, the box 12b is placed on the support platform 21b. The weight of the medicine in the box 12b is transmitted to the weight detection sensor through the support platform 21b, which then converts the weight signal into an electrical or digital signal. After processing, the weight change of the medicine can be obtained, thereby determining the remaining amount of medicine. In this embodiment, the detection mechanism has a simple and reliable structure, can directly measure the weight of the medicine, is applicable to both solid and liquid medicines, has high detection accuracy, and is relatively low in cost, making it easy to apply in actual products.

[0170] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 16, the Hall effect detection device 30b includes a buoy 31b and a Hall effect sensor 32b. A magnet is mounted on the buoy 31b. A guide rail 13b extending vertically is disposed within the chamber 11b. The buoy 31b is slidably mounted on the guide rail 13b. The Hall effect sensor 32b is disposed outside the chamber 11b and is used to detect the position of the buoy 31b. In this embodiment, the buoy 31b is mounted on the guide rail 13b within the chamber 11b and can slide up and down with the liquid level. When the liquid level changes, the buoy 31b moves up and down accordingly, and the position of the magnet on the buoy 31b changes accordingly. The Hall effect sensor 32b can sense the change in magnetic field, thereby determining the position of the buoy 31b. Based on a pre-set correspondence between the position of the buoy 31b and the remaining amount of the drug, the remaining amount of the drug is determined.

[0171] In this embodiment, the Hall effect detection device 30b can detect the remaining amount of liquid medicine in real time and intuitively. The non-contact detection method does not interfere with the medicine and storage container, and its structure is relatively simple, low in cost, and highly practical.

[0172] In an optional embodiment, the capacitance detection device 40b includes a capacitor plate 41b disposed within the chamber 11b and a capacitance detection circuit disposed outside the chamber 11b. The capacitance detection circuit is electrically connected to the capacitor plate 41b and is used to detect the dielectric constant of the liquid stored in the chamber 11b. Preferably, the capacitance detection circuit can employ a high-precision capacitance measurement chip to improve detection accuracy. A temperature compensation circuit can also be provided to reduce the influence of temperature changes on the dielectric constant measurement. In this embodiment, liquid agents at different liquid levels will change the dielectric between the capacitor plates 41b, causing changes in the capacitance value. The capacitance detection circuit measures the change in capacitance value and converts it into a signal related to the remaining agent amount. Based on the correspondence between the capacitance value and the remaining agent amount, the remaining agent amount is calculated. The capacitance detection device 40b has high detection accuracy for the remaining liquid agent amount, is not affected by factors such as agent color and transparency, and can accurately reflect changes in the remaining agent amount, providing users with accurate remaining amount information.

[0173] Optionally, referring to Figure 16, the probe detection device 50b includes a first probe 51b, a second probe 52b, and a continuity detection circuit. The first probe 51b and the second probe 52b are disposed at the bottom of the chamber 11b, preferably mounted on the bottom wall 123b of the housing 12b. The continuity detection circuit is disposed outside the chamber 11b and is used to detect the continuity status of the first probe 51b and the second probe 52b. The first probe 51b and the second probe 52b can be made of corrosion-resistant metal materials, such as stainless steel. When there is sufficient liquid reagent in the chamber 11b, the reagent will cause the first probe 51b and the second probe 52b to conduct, and the continuity detection circuit will detect the conduction signal. As the reagent decreases, the liquid level drops. When the liquid level is lower than the probe position, the probes no longer conduct, and the continuity detection circuit will detect the signal change. Based on this change, it will determine whether the remaining reagent is insufficient. In this embodiment, the probe detection device 50b has a simple structure, low cost, and can effectively detect the remaining amount of liquid reagent.

[0174] In another optional embodiment, referring to Figure 15, the drug storage assembly 100b further includes a drug dispensing conduit 14b connected to a drug outlet. The photoelectric detection device 60b includes a photoelectric transmitter and a photoelectric receiver disposed within the drug dispensing conduit 14b. The drug storage assembly 100b adds a drug dispensing conduit 14b, connected to the drug outlet, for delivering the drug. The photoelectric detection device 60b, installed in the drug dispensing conduit 14b, consists of a photoelectric transmitter and a photoelectric receiver, and determines the remaining drug level by detecting changes in light within the drug dispensing conduit 14b. In this embodiment, when drug flows in the drug dispensing conduit 14b, the propagation characteristics of light in the drug differ from those in air, causing a change in the intensity of the light signal received by the photoelectric receiver. By monitoring the change in light signal intensity, the flow of drug in the drug dispensing conduit 14b is determined, thereby inferring the remaining drug level. For example, when the remaining drug level is insufficient, air bubbles may appear in the drug dispensing conduit 14b, causing abnormal changes in the light signal, thus detecting insufficient levels. In this embodiment, the photoelectric detection device 60b can directly detect the drug dispensing status and determine the remaining drug quantity from the perspective of drug dispensing. It is preferably used in conjunction with other types of detection methods to improve the comprehensiveness and accuracy of remaining drug quantity detection and provide users with more reliable remaining drug quantity information.

[0175] Referring to Figure 17, in an optional embodiment, the housing 12b includes a first sidewall 121b and a second sidewall 122b that are oppositely arranged and extend vertically respectively. The laser detection device 70b includes a laser emitter 71b disposed on the first sidewall 121b and a laser receiver 72b disposed on the second sidewall 122b. Preferably, at least the portions of the first sidewall 121b and the second sidewall 122b corresponding to the laser detection device 70b are made of light-transmitting material. Both the laser emitter 71b and the laser receiver 72b are disposed on the outside of the housing 12b, thus avoiding interference with the medicine and storage container, and also preventing the medicine from corroding the laser detection device 70b. In this embodiment, the laser detection device 70b adopts non-contact detection, which does not damage the internal structure of the medicine storage component 100b, has high detection accuracy, and can adapt to complex storage environments, providing a reliable technical means for accurately detecting the remaining amount of medicine.

[0176] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the content of this application's specification and drawings under the concept of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this application.
