SUBMERSIBLE ELECTRIC-POWERED LEAF VACUUM CLEANER

摘要

An electric-powered submersible vacuum cleaner for filtering water in a pool includes a base with an inlet port extending therethrough. A plurality of wheels extends from the lower surface of the base to facilitate movement of the cleaner over a surface of the pool. An impeller coaxially aligned with the inlet draws water and debris from the pool surface. An electric-powered drive train is coupled to the cleaner and configured to rotate the impeller. A discharge conduit in fluid communication with the inlet extends substantially normal with respect to the upper surface of the base and circumscribes the impeller to direct the flow of water/debris drawn through the inlet by the impeller. A filter mounted over the discharge conduit filters the debris from the drawn water and passes filtered water into the pool. A rotatable handle is attached to and facilitates manual movement of the cleaner over the pool surface.

1. An electric-powered submersible vacuum cleaner for filtering water in a pool comprising:
a base including an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface being positioned over a surface of the pool to be cleaned, and at least one opening extending through the upper and lower surfaces to define an inlet port; a plurality of rotationally-mounted supports extending from the lower surface of the base and configured to facilitate movement of the vacuum cleaner over the surface of the pool; an impeller coaxially aligned with the inlet port of the base for drawing said water and debris from the surface of the pool; an electric-powered drive train directly coupled above the base and configured to rotate the impeller; a discharge conduit having an upper portion and a lower portion, the lower portion being in fluid communication with the inlet port and extending substantially normal to the upper surface of the base, said discharge conduit circumscribing at least a portion of the impeller to direct the flow of water and debris drawn through the inlet by the impeller; a filter mounted to receive the water from over the discharge conduit and configured to filter the debris from the drawn water and pass filtered water into the pool; an outwardly extending flange extending from the upper portion of the discharge conduit and configured to secure the filter; and a handle configured to attach to and facilitate the manual movement of the vacuum cleaner over the surface of the pool.
