Mechanical direction change structure for pool cleaner, and pool cleaner

Abstract

A mechanical direction change structure for a pool cleaner, and a pool cleaner are provided. The mechanical direction change structure includes a rotating element, at least one stopping device, and at least one swinging element, where the rotating element includes a water inlet, a middle flow channel, and a rotating water outlet that are sequentially communicated for water to flow through; the rotating element is rotatable around a rotation axis and provided on a pool cleaner body; the stopping device is rotatable relative to the pool cleaner body; the swinging element is swingable around a swinging axis; when a pool cleaner is moving, the stopping device abuts with the swinging element, and the rotating water outlet is positioned in a first propelling direction; and when the pool cleaner is obstructed, the stopping device detaches from the swinging element, and the rotating water outlet rotates towards a second propelling direction.
