Filed:

Jul 10, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/545339

Inventors:

William LONDONO CORREA - Bloomfield NJ, US

International Classification:

E04H 4/16
B08B 3/02

US Classification:

134 34, 15 17

Abstract:

A self-propelled robotic cleaning apparatus for cleaning a submerged surface of a pool or tank includes a housing defining an interior chamber containing a filter assembly for filtering water flowing through at least one water inlet formed in the base plate. A filter backwash assembly is positioned within the interior chamber and has at least one fluid discharge outlet for providing a pressurized flow of a fluid towards the exterior surface of the filter assembly as a backwash to rinse and dislodge the debris therefrom.

Inventors:

Kameshwar Durvasula - Lyndhurst NJ, US
William Londono Correa - Bloomfield NJ, US

Assignee:

AQUA PRODUCTS, INC. - Cedar Grove NJ

International Classification:

H04N 7/18

US Classification:

348114, 901 50, 348E07085

Abstract:

A pool cleaning system utilizes a powered robotic surface cleaning vehicle to travel adjacent water containing surfaces of a pool while submerged within the pool. In one implementation, a camera captures movement of the vehicle. In one implementation, a dry station serve the intermediary across a wide area network between the vehicle and a server which communicates with the portable electronic device.

Assignee:

AQUA PRODUCTS, INC. - Cedar Grove NY

International Classification:

E04H 4/16

US Classification:

134 10, 15 17, 134 34

Abstract:

A robotic pool or tank cleaner is propelled by water jets, the direction of which is controlled by the direction of rotation of a reversible pump motor that is horizontally mounted in the pool cleaner housing that has a propeller attached to either end of the motor drive shaft which projects from opposing ends of the motor body, each of the propellers being positioned in, or near a water jet discharge conduit that terminates in discharge ports at opposite ends of the housing. Each discharge conduit has a pressure-sensitive flap valve downstream of the respective propellers. When the propellers rotate in one direction, the water is drawn through one or more openings in the base plate, passes through one or more filter assemblies associated with the pool cleaner and is discharged through one of the discharge ports as a water jet of sufficient force to propel the pool cleaner.

Abstract:

A pool cleaning system for cleaning debris from a submerged surface of a swimming pool includes a self-propelled pool cleaner having rotatably-mounted supports for supporting and guiding the cleaner on the pool surface; an electric motor for enabling the rotation of the rotatably-mounted supports on the pool surface; at least one camera to capture imagery of the pool surface; a controller, in electronic communication with the at least one camera, to determine a cleanliness characteristic of the pool surface on which the cleaner has passed based on the camera imagery and generate a control signal to direct movement of the cleaner based on the cleanliness characteristic of the pool surface, and a portable electronic device configured to present a graphic on a display, the graphic depicting the submerged surface of the pool and those portions of the surface that remain uncleaned as the cleaner traverses the pool surface.

International Classification:

B63H 19/08
B63H 25/50

Abstract:

A brake module for submersible autonomous vehicles is disclosed. The brake module is operatively coupled to a fluid propulsion system of an autonomous vehicle and includes a braking mechanism configured to selectively engage a wheel of the autonomous vehicle. The braking mechanism allows or restricts the wheel to rotate when the fluid propulsion system operates with an operating parameter above a parameter threshold.
