Swimming Pool Cleaning Device With Linked Roller Brushes for Dirt Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing swimming pool cleaning devices have inadequate cleaning effectiveness due to inefficiencies in dirt collection and incomplete surface coverage, with stirred dirt often remaining suspended in the water or not being effectively suctioned.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning device with a traveling mechanism featuring synchronized roller brushes that rotate in opposite directions, integrated with a water inlet positioned between them, ensuring quick dirt collection into the water flow for filtration, and a filtering system to enhance underwater cleaning capability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If roller brushes are used to stir dirt on pool surfaces, then cleaning action is provided, but dirt remains suspended in water instead of being effectively collected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the roller brush stirring function with the suction collection function into an integrated cleaning assembly. The roller brushes and water inlet are positioned to work simultaneously, where the roller brushes stir dirt while the water inlet positioned between them directly captures the stirred dirt, merging two separate functions into one coordinated system that prevents dirt from escaping into the pool water.
Solution Approach 2:
The water inlet acts as an intermediary element positioned between the roller brushes to capture stirred dirt. This intermediary structure receives the mechanical stirring action from the roller brushes and immediately channels the loosened dirt into the suction system, serving as a bridge between the mechanical cleaning action and the vacuum collection system.
2Ease of operation
If cleaning devices use conventional traveling mechanisms, then movement on pool surfaces is enabled, but incomplete surface coverage and inadequate cleaning occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a dynamic traveling mechanism with crawler belts that can adapt to different pool surface conditions. The crawler belt design provides flexible movement capability while maintaining consistent contact with the pool surface, enabling the cleaning device to navigate various terrains effectively and achieve complete surface coverage through adaptable motion rather than fixed mechanical movement.
Solution Approach 2:
The cleaning device incorporates cleaning elements that extend in multiple directions from the main body, creating a three-dimensional cleaning zone. The roller brushes and water inlet are arranged to cover a broader area across the pool surface, adding spatial dimensionality to the cleaning action and improving overall surface coverage beyond what a single-line path would achieve.
3Quantity of substance
If water flow is used to carry stirred dirt to suction port, then some dirt is collected, but most dirt remains suspended in water
Solution Approach 1:
The patent positions the water inlet to receive dirt directly at the moment of stirring, performing the collection action preliminarily before dirt can disperse into the pool water. The suction system is pre-positioned to intercept dirt particles immediately after they are loosened by the roller brushes, preventing the harmful suspension effect from occurring in the first place rather than attempting to recover suspended dirt later.
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 synchronized roller brushes effectively draw stirred dirt into the water inlet, preventing suspension and improving the cleaning device's ability to remove dirt from pool surfaces, enhancing overall cleaning efficiency.
Implementation Method 1
roller brushes...used to scrub the surface of the bottom or wall of the pool and stir the dirt into the suction port with the water flow
Implementation Method 2
Under the suction force generated by the filtering system, the water flow entering the suction port will filter and collect the dirt
Implementation Method 3
the fluid pumping apparatus is used for pumping water from the water inlet to the water outlet
