Abstract

A swimming pool robot with double drain pipes comprising a vehicle body, an outer filter screen and an internal filter screen; the outer filter screen is detachably disposed in the vehicle body, the inner filter screen is detachably disposed in the outer filter screen, an outer wall of the inner filter screen and an inner wall of the outer filter screen, and/or an inner wall of the internal filter screen is provided with foam; a sensing device for sensing the inner filter screen is provided in the vehicle body, and a climbing driving mechanism for driving the swimming pool robot to climb a slope is symmetrically provided at two sides of the top of the vehicle body; the vehicle body is further provided with a controller respectively connected to the sensing device and the climbing drive mechanism, and the controller is used for controlling the swimming pool robot to turn around or turn when the sensing device senses the inner filter screen and a swimming pool wall is provided in front of the swimming pool robot. Compared with the prior art, the disclosure not only enriches the functionality of the swimming pool robot, improves the applicability range of a swimming pool for collecting dirt, improves the efficiency of cleaning a swimming pool, and precisely controls the movement direction of a swimming pool robot.

Claims (30)

1 . A swimming pool robot with double drain pipes, the swimming pool robot comprising:

a vehicle body;

an outer filter screen;

an internal filter screen detachably disposed in the vehicle body and detachably disposed in the outer filter screen, wherein at least one of an outer wall of the internal filter screen, an inner wall of the outer filter screen, or an inner wall of the internal filter screen is provided with foam;

a sensing device for sensing the internal filter screen provided in the vehicle body; and

a climbing driving mechanism for driving the swimming pool robot to climb a slope symmetrically provided at two sides of a top portion of the vehicle body, wherein

the vehicle body is further provided with a controller connected to the sensing device and the climbing drive mechanism,

wherein the sensing device comprises:

a sensing magnet provided on the internal filter screen, and

a hall switch provided in the vehicle body and corresponding to the sensing magnet, and the hall switch is connected to the controller,

wherein the climbing driving mechanism comprises:

a first drain outlet and a second drain outlet symmetrically disposed at two sides of the top portion of the vehicle body, and

a first driving unit and a second driving unit disposed in the vehicle body, the first driving unit and the second driving unit are configured to, respectively, drive the first drain outlet and the second drain outlet to drain water, so as to drive the swimming pool robot to climb the slope, and

wherein a water inlet is provided at a bottom portion of the vehicle body, and a first drain pipe and a second drain pipe that are in communication with the water inlet are symmetrically provided in the vehicle body, the first drain outlet is formed at a top opening of the first drain pipe, and the second drain outlet is formed at a top opening of the second drain pipe,

wherein the first driving unit comprises:

a first propeller provided in the first drain pipe, and

a first drive motor provided in the vehicle body and connected to the first propeller,

the second driving unit includes:

a second propeller provided in the second drain pipe, and

a second drive motor provided in the vehicle body and connected to the second propeller, and

the first drive motor and the second drive motor are connected to the controller; and

wherein the controller is configured to control whether the first drive motor and the second drive motor stop working, and control whether the swimming pool robot turn around or turn based on a detection result output from the sensing device, when the detection result shows that the sensing device has sensed the internal filter screen installed in the vehicle body and sensed that a swimming pool wall exists in front of the swimming pool robot, the controller controls the first drive motor and the second drive motor to stop working, and controls the swimming pool robot to turn around or turn.

2 . The swimming pool robot with double drain pipes according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom portion of the vehicle body is provided with a one-way valve at a position of the water inlet for opening or closing the water inlet.

3 . The swimming pool robot with double drain pipes according to claim 1 , wherein a bottom portions of the outer filter screen and the internal filter screen are provided with a dirt suction port in communication with the water inlet.

4 . The swimming pool robot with double drain pipes according to claim 1 , wherein a step structure is disposed at a rear end of the vehicle body, a rear end of the outer filter screen is a groove structure corresponding to the step structure, and the outer filter screen is detachably disposed on the step structure.

5 . The swimming pool robot with double drain pipes according to claim 4 , wherein a rear end of the internal filter screen is a groove structure corresponding to the outer filter screen, a locating column is provided in the outer filter screen, and a locating hole corresponding to the locating column is provided at a bottom portion of the internal filter screen.

6 . A control method performed by the swimming pool robot with double drain pipes according to claim 1 , and the method comprising:

detecting whether the internal filter screen is installed in the vehicle body using the sensing device;

detecting whether a swimming pool wall exists in front of the swimming pool robot, and

when the internal filter screen is installed in the vehicle body and the swimming pool wall exists in front of the swimming pool robot, controlling the first drive motor and the second drive motor to stop working, and controlling the swimming pool robot to turn around or turn.
