Pool Cleaning Robot With Rotating Wheel and Dual Filters
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pool cleaners require manual movement to filter water at different positions, making the process laborious and inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
An electric pool-cleaning robot with a housing, first and second filtering mechanisms, and a rotating wheel, where water flows through filtering mechanisms and the rotating wheel drives the robot to move, eliminating the need for manual operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual movement is used to position the pool cleaner, then the filtering can be performed at different positions, but the operation becomes laborious and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The pool cleaner is equipped with a rotating wheel that enables it to move and position itself automatically without human intervention. The device serves itself by autonomously navigating to different positions in the pool to perform filtering operations, thereby eliminating the need for manual movement while maintaining filtering effectiveness at multiple locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical operation of moving the pool cleaner is replaced by an automated rotating wheel mechanism. This substitution transforms the system from requiring human physical intervention to an automated mechanical system that independently positions itself, improving ease of operation while increasing automation.
2Productivity
If a single filtering mechanism is used, then the device structure is simple, but the filtering efficiency is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The pool cleaner integrates multiple filtering mechanisms (first filtering mechanism and second filtering mechanism) into a single device. These filtering mechanisms work simultaneously or sequentially to process water, thereby enhancing overall filtering efficiency while managing device complexity through integrated design.
Solution Approach 2:
The filtering system is divided into multiple independent filtering mechanisms, each capable of performing filtration functions. This segmentation allows each filter to operate independently or in combination, increasing total filtering capacity and efficiency while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture.
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
Enables convenient and labor-saving water filtration at various positions without manual movement, improving efficiency and reducing user effort.
Implementation Method 1
the rotating wheel is capable of rotating to drive the housing to move
Implementation Method 2
the filter cartridge is arranged around an outer circumference of the support cylinder; water to be treated passes through the first water inlet to enter the housing and then flows toward the filter cartridge to be filtered
Implementation Method 3
the impeller assembly is capable of driving water entering the volute casing to rotate to accelerate discharge of the water in the volute casing to an outside of the volute casing through the third water outlet

AI summary
An electric pool-cleaning robot, including a housing, a first filtering mechanism and a rotating wheel. One end of the housing is provided with a first water inlet, and the other end of the housing is provided with a first water outlet. The first filtering mechanism is arranged in the housing. The water enters the housing through the first water inlet, and then flows toward the first filtering mechanism to be filtered. The filtered water flows out of the housing through the first water outlet. The rotating wheel is arranged on the housing, and is capable of rotating to drive the housing to move.
