Swimming Pool Robot Counterweight Nesting for Compact Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current swimming pool cleaning robots require a large inner space due to their design, which limits their adaptability to different bottom shells and inefficient use of internal space.
Innovation Solution
A swimming pool cleaning robot design that incorporates a sealed tank within the bottom shell, housing a first counterweight block, which allows for efficient use of internal space and reduces the overall volume of the robot.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a flat counterweight block is integrated with the bottom shell, then the structure is simple, but the inner space of the swimming pool robot is not fully utilized and the robot needs a large inner space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies nesting by placing the counterweight block inside a sealed tank that is integrated into the bottom shell, rather than having the counterweight block directly integrated with the bottom shell. This nested structure allows the counterweight function to be achieved while utilizing the internal space more efficiently, as the sealed tank can be positioned within the robot's body without requiring additional external space.
2Volume of moving object
If the bottom shell is designed with a large inner space, then the counterweight block can be accommodated, but the adaptability to different bottom shell designs is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The sealed tank serves multiple functions: it houses the counterweight block, provides structural support, and can be integrated into various bottom shell designs. This multi-functional component allows the robot to maintain adequate counterweight and structural integrity across different bottom shell configurations, enhancing adaptability while preserving necessary internal space capacity.

AI summary
A swimming pool cleaning robot includes a bottom shell, a sealed tank and a first counterweight block, the sealed tank is provided inside the bottom shell, and the first counterweight block is provided inside the sealed tank. The first counterweight block is provided in a sealed tank of a swimming pool cleaning robot without additionally providing an installation space for the first counterweight block, making full use of more difficult to use inside the swimming pool cleaning robot, and effectively reducing the space required inside the swimming pool cleaning robot while ensuring that the counterweight block meets the requirements, thereby reducing the volume of the whole machine. Besides, it does not require flattening of the bottom shell of the swimming pool cleaning robot, so that the bottom shell can be designed in a variety of shapes to enrich the diversity of the swimming pool cleaning robot.
