Swimming pool robot and method for controlling swimming pool robot

A method for controlling a swimming pool robot, wherein the swimming pool robot comprises a mode switching member, and the mode switching member comprises:

• a buoyancy cavity configured to accommodate at least gas;
• a pump at least configured for external gas to enter the buoyancy cavity, to increase a volume of the gas in the buoyancy cavity;
• and
• a first injection port communicating with the buoyancy cavity to at least allow the external gas to enter the buoyancy cavity, wherein the method comprises at least the following:
• controlling the swimming pool robot to be switched from a bottom operation posture to a wall climbing posture;
• controlling the swimming pool robot to move on a side wall of a swimming pool in the wall climbing posture, enabling the first injection port to be exposed above a liquid surface;
• and
• controlling the pump to operate, wherein the external gas enters the buoyancy cavity through the first injection port under an action of the pump, to increase the volume of the gas in the buoyancy cavity, enabling the swimming pool robot to rotate to be in a surface operation posture;
• wherein
• the bottom operation posture of the swimming pool robot is substantially identical to the surface operation posture of the swimming pool robot.

A swimming pool robot, comprising:

• a first intake disposed at a bottom of the swimming pool robot;
• a second intake disposed on a side wall of the swimming pool robot;
• a dust box disposed inside the swimming pool robot, wherein the dust box is configured to filter liquid entering the dust box;
• a drive mechanism comprising a main pump, wherein the main pump is disposed inside the swimming pool robot;
• at least one first fluid outlet disposed on the swimming pool robot, wherein the first intake, the dust box, the main pump, and the at least one first fluid outlet are in fluid communication with one another in sequence to form a first liquid path used for cleaning a bottom or a side wall of a swimming pool, and the second intake, the dust box, the main pump, and the at least one first fluid outlet are in fluid communication with one another in sequence to form a third liquid path used for cleaning a liquid surface;
• a buoyancy cavity configured to accommodate at least gas;
• a first injection port disposed at a forward portion of the swimming pool robot and communicating with the buoyancy cavity, wherein the swimming pool robot moves on the side wall of the swimming pool, enabling the first injection port to be exposed above the liquid surface;
• and
• a pump configured to at least regulate a volume of the gas in the buoyancy cavity,
• wherein external gas is driven by the pump to enter the buoyancy cavity through the first injection port to increase the volume of the gas in the buoyancy cavity, enabling the swimming pool robot to float on the liquid surface, wherein the first intake faces the bottom of the swimming pool when the swimming pool robot is on the bottom of the swimming pool, and the first intake faces the bottom of the swimming pool when the swimming pool robot floats on the liquid surface.

A method for controlling a swimming pool robot, wherein the swimming pool robot comprises a first intake, and the first intake is located at a bottom of the swimming pool robot;

• wherein the method comprises at least the following:
• controlling the swimming pool robot to move from a bottom of a swimming pool to a side wall of the swimming pool;
• controlling the swimming pool robot to move on the side wall of the swimming pool, enabling the swimming pool robot to be at least partially exposed above a liquid surface;
• and
• when the swimming pool robot is at least partially exposed above the liquid surface, controlling the swimming pool robot to be switched from touching or abutting against the side wall of the swimming pool to floating on the liquid surface, wherein
• the first intake faces the bottom of the swimming pool when the swimming pool robot is on the bottom of the swimming pool, and the first intake faces the bottom of the swimming pool when the swimming pool robot floats on the liquid surface.
