Submersible Battery Handle for Pool Cleaner Maneuverability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile filters for swimming pools and similar water structures are cumbersome due to electrical or vacuum connections, making them difficult to maneuver manually.
Innovation Solution
A powered mobile filter with a wheeled chassis, a submersible electric motor, and a removable bag mesh filter, where the submersible battery pack is slidably coupled to the handle, minimizing weight and facilitating easy installation and replacement, and using a submersible connector for power delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the battery pack is integrated into the main body of the mobile filter, then the power supply is stable, but the weight interferes with maneuverability
Solution Approach 1:
The battery pack is separated from the main filter body and placed in a独立的handle assembly, allowing the heavy component to be isolated from the maneuvering portion of the device
Solution Approach 2:
The handle is designed as a long lever arm extending from the main body, positioning the battery pack at a distance to create a counterbalancing effect that reduces the perceived weight and improves handling ease
2Device complexity
If the battery pack is fixed in position, then the structure is simple, but battery replacement is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The battery pack is mounted on sliding rails within the handle, allowing it to move freely along the handle length and be easily removed from either end without disassembling the entire device
Solution Approach 2:
The battery pack is designed as a separate, extractable module that can be removed from the handle independently, enabling quick replacement without affecting other components
3Reliability
If heavy-duty electrical connections are used, then power transmission is reliable, but the device becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
Traditional heavy-duty mechanical electrical connectors are replaced with a flexible cable system that runs through the handle, providing reliable power transmission without the bulk of rigid connector assemblies
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution enhances maneuverability and ease of use by reducing the weight burden of the battery pack and simplifying battery replacement, while maintaining effective filtration capabilities.

AI summary
A mobile filter for removing solid contaminants from water such as swimming pools. The mobile filter has a handle maneuvered chassis, a powered propeller housed in a tubular body, which propeller propels water through a removable bag mesh filter installable on the tubular body. A submersible battery pack is slidably coupled to the handle, and is readily removable therefrom. The submersible battery pack has a cord terminating in a submersible connector matingly compatible with a corresponding submersible connector accessible on the tubular body containing the propeller and its submersible electric motor.
