Apparatus for cleaning an immersed surface provided with an accelerometer device which detects gravitational acceleration

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for cleaning an immersed surface, comprising a hollow body, guiding and driving members, a filtration chamber which is provided in the hollow body and which has at least one liquid inlet, at least one liquid outlet and a hydraulic circuit for circulation of liquid through a filtering device. An accelerometer device is fixedly joined to the hollow body and which is adapted to provide instantaneous measurements of at least one acceleration component of the terrestrial gravity in at least one fixed direction which is fixed relative to the hollow body, and a processing unit for processing the acceleration measurements supplied by the accelerometer device.

主权项

1. An automatic swimming pool cleaning apparatus comprising:
a. a body (i) configured in use to be submerged by water contained within a swimming pool and to move therein and (ii) defining a water inlet; b. means for drawing pool water into the water inlet of the body in use for passage to a debris filter remote from the body; and c. an accelerometer (i) carried by the body and (ii) configured in use to measure a characteristic of position of the body within the swimming pool.
