Definitions
- the present invention relates, in general, to the field of swimming pool maintenance equipment.
- an automatic swimming pool cleaning robot comprising at least one body terminated by a suction head, an unstable valve housed in the body, and a piping for suction of which a first end is fixed to the body and connected to the suction head through the unstable valve and of which a length section, succeeding the first end and constituting or preceding a second end of the piping in a suction direction , is subjected in operation to a vacuum created by a vacuum source, the unstable valve being set in motion by the vacuum and discontinuously putting the suction head in communication with the second end of the piping.
- Robots of this type are well known in the prior art, as shown for example by patent documents FR 2 302 151, US 5 014 382, or EP 0 633 371. Whatever their type, automatic cleaning robots are designed to be immersed in a swimming pool and to move by themselves to the bottom of the swimming pool by sucking up the impurities and any foreign bodies which may be there. These robots traditionally fall into two categories, depending on whether they are actuated by a suction pump, or by a source of pressurized water.
- the movements of the former are obtained by recovering the kinetic energy of a periodically established and abruptly interrupted current of water, while the latter move either through a paddle motor powered by the water source under pressure, either by ejecting a stream of water and preserving the momentum, like a rocket.
- the robots actuated by a suction pump are conventionally lighter, so that they can, if necessary, not only clean the flat bottoms of a swimming pool, but also the ramps and even the vertical walls of the latter. this.
- Robots supplied with vacuum also have the advantage of having only a very small number of moving parts, which moreover have excellent robustness with respect to any cause of fouling or wear, in comparison with propellers, belts and any ball bearings that pressure-powered robots generally have.
- the robots supplied with vacuum are conventionally connected to the swimming pool filtration pump, so that they cannot be used permanently.
- the robots supplied with pressure if they can actually be used permanently, on the other hand have a weight such that they generally require the use of a booster.
- the invention which is situated in this context, aims to propose a cleaning robot which combines at least one advantage of robots supplied with pressure with those of robots supplied with vacuum.
- the robot of the invention is essentially characterized in that it further comprises a recovery filter selectively connected, in operation, to the second end of the piping, and a Venturi effect injector installed on said piping length section and having an inlet orifice, external to the piping and selectively connected in operation to a source of pressurized water, and a nozzle outlet, internal to the piping and pointing substantially in the suction direction, this injector itself constituting, in operation, the source of vacuum.
- the robot of the invention may further comprise a plug selectively closing the inlet port of the injector, and be designed so that the filter is connected to the second end of the piping in a removable manner, which results in that this robot can also be put into operation by closing the inlet orifice of the injector and connecting the second end of the piping to an external vacuum source, like a robot supplied with vacuum so standard.
- the piping may include two conduits connected to the body at its first end, a connector with three mutually communicating branches, including two lateral branches connecting the two conduits together and a central branch, and a common pipe connecting the central branch of the connector to the second end of the piping , the injector being installed on the common piping.
- the unstable valve may include at least one first seat subjected to vacuum and a shutter oscillating between a closed position, in which it closes the first seat, and a release position, in which it releases the first seat, a return system being provided so that the oscillating shutter, at least when it reaches one of its shutter and release positions, is attracted to the other of these positions.
- the invention also relates to a process for the functional upgrading of an automatic swimming pool cleaning robot designed to be supplied with vacuum, this process being characterized in that it comprises a step consisting in providing this robot with a Venturi effect injector selectively supplied with pressure.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of a robot incorporating the main features of the invention, as well as optional features, given by way of example; and
- Figure 2 is a detail view in enlarged section, showing the same reference numeral as Figure 1 and essentially representing a variant of one injector with Venturi effect.
- a robot according to the invention comprises, in a known manner, a body 1, a suction head 2, an unstable valve 3, and a suction pipe 4.
- the unstable valve 3 is housed in the body 1, which ends with the suction head 2 itself provided with a skirt 20 which is applied in operation on the surface to be cleaned.
- the second end 42 of the suction pipe 4 which constitutes the upper end of this pipe when the robot rests on the bottom of the pool, follows the first end 41 in the suction direction indicated by the arrow A.
- the second end 42 of the pipe 4 is connected, by means of a flexible pipe 8, to a source of vacuum formed by a suction pump 5e, the vacuum created by this 5th pump being installed in particular in a length section 40 of the pipe 4, intermediate between the first end 41 and the second end 40, or constituting the latter.
- the unstable valve 3 is set in motion, and puts itself, discontinuously, the suction head 2 in communication with the second end 42 of the piping 4, that is to say that the water flow established by vacuum between the suction head 2 and the length section 40 of the piping 4 is chopped, not regular nor a fortiori constant.
- the robot is equipped with a lower support 101 and an upper support 102, on which are respectively mounted, in separately adjustable positions, a weight 11 and a float 12 which together ensure the stability of the robot in water.
- the robot of the invention is specific in that it further comprises a recovery filter 6, and an injector 5 with a Venturi effect.
- the recovery filter 6 takes the form, for example, of a pocket and is connected in operation, preferably removably, to the second end 42 of the pipe 4.
- Venturi effect injector 5 The purpose of the Venturi effect injector 5 is to constitute itself, in operation, the source of vacuum in particular necessary for the operation of the unstable valve 3.
- This injector 5 is installed on the length section 40 of the pipe 4 and has an inlet orifice 51 which is external to the pipe 4 and which is connected in operation to a source of pressurized water such as a tap. 7, and an outlet nozzle 52, which is arranged inside the piping 4 and which points at least approximately in the suction direction A, so as to circulate the water coming from the tap 7 in this direction A
- the robot of the invention further comprises a plug 53 capable of closing the inlet orifice 51 of the injector 5, and if the filter 6 is well connected to the second end 42 of the piping 4 so removable, then this robot can also be put into operation, in the traditional way, by connecting the second end 42 of the pipe 4 to the external vacuum source 5e and closing the inlet orifice 51 of the injector by the cap 53.
- the invention is illustrated on a particular type of vacuum robot, it is applicable to all vacuum robots, and in particular those of which the movement is obtained by periodically interrupting a flow of water set in motion by suction.
- the unstable valve 3 comprises an ' oscillating shutter, which in this case takes the form of a corner hammer 30, and which cooperates with at least one valve seat such as 31, subject to depression.
- the shutter 30 is arranged and urged so as to oscillate between a closed position, in which it closes the seat 31, and a release position, in which it releases this seat 31.
- the valve actually comprises a second seat 32, substantially symmetrical with the seat 31 relative to the intermediate position of the shutter 30, and the latter is, in a manner known per se, alternately attracted towards the seat 31 and towards seat 32 by the stream of water which is established alternately in the vicinity of seat 32 and seat 31, respectively.
- the pipe 4 comprises in this case two rigid conduits 401 and 402 which, at the first end 41 of this pipe, are directly mounted on the body 1, and which are connected to the second end 42 of the pipe 4 by means of a connection 43 with three branches.
- the three branches 403, 404, and 405 of the connector 43 communicate with each other and include two lateral branches 403 and 404 and a central branch 405.
- the lateral branches 403 and 404 connect the two conduits 401 and 402 together.
- the central branch 405, for its part, leads to a common pipe 406 which defines the second end 42 of the pipe 4, and on which the injector 5 is installed.
- the water present in the pipe 401 still has a zero or very low speed, so that the head 2 no longer feels the suction created in the common pipe 406, and that it can be detached easily. of the surface being cleaned.
- the robot since the robot has complete freedom of movement relative to this surface and its rigid structure receives the kinetic energy of the interrupted flow, it undergoes displacement.
