Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of swinging pool cleaning, more particularly to a swimming pool sewage suction machine and a control method thereof.


BACKGROUND

Swimming pool sewage suction machine is a kind of machine that can be placed at the bottom of the swimming pool to clean dirt and the like on surfaces of the swimming pool. However, during the course of entering water, current swimming pool sewage suction machines sometimes would get side overturned because the center of gravity is generally on the front part or rear part. By the time, human labor is required to put the machine straight or hold the machine until the machine totally sinks into the water, not only consuming time, but also resulting in inconvenience for water entry. In addition, during the course of walking underwater, the swimming pool sewage suction machine would often hit on bulges on the bottom, which sometimes could cause great steering or side overturn of the machine.


In addition, during the course of walking underwater, the swimming pool sewage suction machine would often hit on obstacles or reach the boundary of the swimming pool. At present, the swimming pool sewage suction machine is provided with an indicator sail on the top to judge the boundary, that is, during normal walking, the indicator sail is driven by water currents to face the rear side, however, when the swimming pool sewage suction machine hits on an obstacle or the boundary, the indicator sail will rotate and return to the original position under the action of a return spring. However, such a judgement structure is not stable. When the swimming pool sewage suction machine passes through a bulge on the bottom or the bottom slope is great or the flow direction of water changes, the indicator sail is easy to steer, resulting in a misjudgment by the swimming pool sewage suction machine. Therefore, further improvement is needed.


SUMMARY

The present disclosure provides a new swimming pool sewage suction machine and a control method thereof, in view of the defects in the existing technologies that the posture of the swimming pool sewage suction machine is not stable enough during the course or entering water or walking underwater and the judgment for the boundary or obstacle at the bottom of the swimming pool is not accurate enough.


In order to solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure is implemented through the following technical scheme.


A swimming pool sewage suction machine includes a base, a control system, a battery assembly, a driving wheel assembly, a sealing box, a water pump assembly, a collecting box, a top cover assembly, a brush assembly and a charging device, wherein the control system is positioned inside the sealing box, the charging device is arranged on the base and is electrically connected to the control system inside the sealing box, the battery assembly is arranged inside the sealing box and is electrically connected to the control system, the brush assembly is arranged on a bottom of the base, the swimming pool sewage suction machine has an X axis, a Y axis and a Z axis at a center along the length direction, width direction and height direction respectively, wherein the swimming pool sewage suction machine further includes a collision plate assembly, a collision return assembly, a rotary rod assembly, a magnetic induction piece and a Hall plate, wherein the sealing box is arranged on a middle part of the bottom of the base, the driving wheel assembly and the water pump assembly are connected to the sealing box respectively and are electrically connected to the control system, the interior of the base is divided into an inner ring water distribution bin and an outer ring water distribution bin through the collecting box, a gas-liquid circulation hole is further defined in both a front end and a rear end of the bottom of the base and communicated with the outer ring water distribution bin, a sewage suction opening communicated with the inner ring water distribution bin is defined on a bottom of the collecting box, a sewage inlet corresponding to the sewage suction opening is further defined on the bottom of the base, the inner ring water distribution bin is annular, a middle part of the collecting box is provided with an up-down through annular docking base and is sleeved on the water pump assembly, a filter screen is arranged on a side wall of the annular docking base, an opening is defined a top part of the collecting box, and the top cover assembly is rotationally connected to the base and covers the opening on the top part of the collecting box, the collision plate assembly is arranged on an edge of the base and extends into the base, the collision return assembly is arranged inside the base and provides a restoring force for the collision plate assembly, the rotary rod assembly is rotationally connected inside the base, one end of the rotary rod assembly is connected to the collision plate assembly, the magnetic induction piece is arranged on the other end of the rotary rod assembly, the Hall plate is arranged inside the sealing box and cooperates with the magnetic induction piece, and the Hall plate is electrically connected to the control system.


The sealing box is arranged on the middle part of the bottom of the base, which can anchor the position of the center of gravity of the whole swimming pool sewage suction machine and improve the balance of the swimming pool sewage suction machine in entering water and walking underwater. The gas-liquid circulation holes are communicated with the outer ring water distribution bin, the sewage inlet and the sewage suction opening are communicated with the inner ring water distribution bin, enabling air and water currents to rapidly enter interiors of the outer ring water distribution bin and the inner ring water distribution bin through such parts during the course of the swimming pool sewage suction machine entering water and subsequently flow out through gaps on the base or the water pump assembly, and preventing air being covered to form a reacting force during the course of the swimming pool sewage suction machine entering water; consequently, not only the speed of the swimming pool sewage suction machine to enter water can be accelerated, but also the posture of the swimming pool sewage suction machine in entering water can be automatically stabilized, so that the machine can keep balanced.


In the condition that the machine is normally operating, the magnetic induction piece cooperates with the Hall plate inside the sealing box, and the machine is in an induction enabled state; in the case that the machine collides with an obstacle or the pool boundary while walking, the rotary rod assembly will be pushed while the collision plate assembly encounters a collision such that the magnetic induction piece on the rotary rod assembly is separated from the Hall plate, the control system receives a signal and then can determine that the machine has collided with an obstacle or the pool boundary, thereby making an preparation for a following action.

More specifically, during the water entry course, on one hand, air and water currents under the gathering function of the diversion bin 24 will automatically flow toward the gas-liquid circulation holes 18 and then flow into the outer ring water distribution bin 17; since the gas-liquid circulation holes 18 are distributed on the diversion bin 24 in an annular array, the water currents can enter the gas-liquid circulation holes 18 more smoothly; on the other hand, air and water currents will flow into the inner ring water distribution bin 16 along the sewage inlet 20 and the sewage suction opening 19, accelerating the speed of the swimming pool sewage suction machine to enter water.


During the water entry course, since the inner ring water distribution bin 16 is annular and the annular docking base 21 on the middle part of the collecting box 10 is sleeved on the water pump assembly 4 and the water pump assembly 4 is further connected to the sealing box 8, the water entering the inner ring water distribution bin 16 will always rise around the water pump assembly 4 at the center of the base 1, moreover, since the sectional area of the sewage suction opening 19 is greater than the sectional area of the gas-liquid circulation hole 18, the volume entering the inner ring water distribution bin 16 is greater than that entering the outer ring water distribution bin 17; therefore, the center of gravity of the whole swimming pool sewage suction machine can be kept stable during the course of the machine entering water. In addition, the sealing box 8 is arranged on the middle part of the bottom of the base 1, the water pump assembly 4 is connected to the sealing box 8, the counterweight 25 is further arranged inside the sealing box 8 and the counterweight 25 is provided to be symmetrical in front and rear with the Y axis as a center line, and the driving wheel assemblies 3 are connected to middle parts of left and right side surfaces of the sealing box 8, all of which together enhance greatly the gravity center anchoring function of the sealing box 8, so that the gravity center of the whole machine tends to the center of the machine, further improving the stability of posture of the swimming pool sewage suction machine during the water entry course, and enhancing the stability of posture of the swimming pool sewage suction machine during the underwater walking course.


During the course of the swimming pool sewage suction machine walking underwater, when the machine moves forward, the magnet 38 will attract in advance some small metal articles, such as keys, on the bottom of the swimming pool, then the brush assembly 9 will clean the dirt on the surface of the swimming pool, meanwhile, since the rotating shaft 36 and the rotating connection seat 35 are rotatably connected, during the course of contacting the surface of the swimming pool, the brush assembly 9 will be driven by the friction force on the surface of the swimming pool to automatically rotate in a reverse direction of the walking direction of the machine, such that the machine cannot be jacked through the brush assembly 9 when passing through the bulged parts on the surface of the swimming pool. Manual corrective measures are saved, and the cleaning efficiency of the machine is improved.


During the course of the swimming pool sewage suction machine walking underwater, under the action of elastic restoring forces of the rotary rod return spring 55 and the guide shaft return spring 42, an outward acting force can be given to the bumper 39 constantly, so that the swimming pool sewage suction machine will not make a misjudgment of an obstacle and a boundary when passing through a slope or concave-convex place at the bottom of the swimming pool or when the flow direction of water changes. The setting of the ratio of the distance between the rotating shaft hole 54 and one end of the rotary rod 52 to the distance between the rotating shaft hole 54 and the other end of the rotary rod 52 further increases the difficulty of rotation of the rotary rod 52, further reducing the impact of various underwater negative factors on the machine and improving the correctness of judgment of an obstacle and a boundary.


When the swimming pool sewage suction machine hits on an obstacle or a boundary, since the bumper 39 suffers a great impact force within a short time, it will quickly slide into the base 1 through the roller 47 under the action of the impact force; during the sliding process of the bumper 39, the driving bracket 40 will be pushed to slide inwards, and during the sliding process of the driving bracket 40, the rotary rod 52 will be pushed to rotate, thereby driving the magnetic induction piece 14 on the other end of the rotary rod 52 to get away from the Hall plate 15; by the time, the swimming pool sewage suction machine can accurately determine that it currently hits on an obstacle or the pool boundary.


When the swimming pool sewage suction machine leaves the obstacle or pool boundary, under the action of elastic restoring forces of the rotary rod return spring 55 and the guide shaft return spring 42, the bumper 39 can automatically return to the original position, making a preparation for a next collision detection.

  • S6: the control system 6 acquires in real time the current spatial data through the gyroscope 59 and compares it with the stored stable posture data to determine whether the swimming pool sewage suction machine deviates from the basic direction F; if the swimming pool sewage suction machine deviates from the basic direction F, the control system 6 speeds up the wheel with a relatively slow rotating speed and slows down the wheel with a relatively fast rotating speed, so that the swimming pool sewage suction machine returns to the basic direction F;
  • S7: by the time, if the rotating speed of the left wheel 61 and the right wheel 63 does not reach the basic rotating speed V, the control system 6 adjusts the left wheel 61 and the right wheel 63 synchronously to reach the basic rotating speed V;
