Abstract
A pool cleaning robot that may include a filtering unit for filtering fluid; a housing that at least partially surrounds the filtering unit; an impeller configured to induce fluid to pass through the filtering unit when rotated at a first direction; a pump motor for rotating the impeller; a drive system; first interfacing elements that are configured to interface with the pool during at least a part of a cleaning process of the pool; and at least one second interfacing element that extends outside a bottom of the housing without reaching a virtual plane defined by bottoms of at least two of the first interfacing elements.
Claims21
A pool cleaning robot for cleaning a pool, comprising:
- a filtering unit for filtering fluid;
- a housing that at least partially surrounds the filtering unit;
- an impeller configured to induce fluid to pass through the filtering unit when rotated at a first direction;
- a pump motor for rotating the impeller;
- a drive system;
- first interfacing elements that are configured to interface with the pool during at least a part of a cleaning process of the pool;
- and
- at least one second interfacing element that extends outside a bottom of the housing without reaching a virtual plane defined by bottoms of at least two of the first interfacing elements;
- wherein a radius of each second interfacing element of the at least one second interfacing element is smaller than one fourth of a distance between the virtual plane and a center of the second interfacing element.
