POOL CLEANING VEHICLE WITH ROTATING AND STATIONARY SCRUBBING ELEMENTS

摘要

Disclosed herein is a submersible pool cleaning vehicle (PCV) having both cleaning and scrubbing structures. The PCV includes spaced wheels and several sets of scrubbing members. Each of the scrubbing members includes a plurality of scrubbing elements. The PCV also includes a cleaning brush for dislodging particulates. In one exemplary embodiment, the PCV includes a fixed scrubbing member and two rotating scrubbing members. The rotating scrubbing member act cooperatively and create a current after dislodging particulates and dirt from the pool surface. The rotating scrubbing members direct the current carrying such dislodged material toward the intakes of the PCV so that it can be permanently removed from the pool water.

主权项

1. An automated fully submersible pool cleaning vehicle (PCV) for sanitizing water in a swimming pool, the PCV, comprising:
a housing having a bottom and an exterior and an interior and including at least one intake member and a vacuum member for drawing water into the housing through the intakes, the housing including a filter member for filtering water drawn into the housing through the intakes and an outlet for expelling the filtered water back into the pool; a chassis attached to the housing and being generally within the interior; drive means attached to the chassis for propelling the PCV throughout the surface of the pool, the drive means including spaced apart wheels for receiving power from the drive means; a cleaning member attached to the housing; a first set of scrubbing members extending from the bottom and the scrubbing members being proximate to the intake member; whereby, as the PCV moves around the pool surface the scrubbing members contact the surface of the pool and dislodge dirt and debris and whereby the vacuum member absorbs the dislodged dirt and debris to facilitate sanitizing the pool water.
