Mechanical direction change structure for pool cleaner, and pool cleaner

Abstract

A mechanical direction change structure for a pool cleaner includes a direction change device provided on a pool cleaner body and swingable relative to a pool cleaner, where the direction change device is provided with an abutting unit, and at least one stopping unit rotatable relative to the direction change device; when the pool cleaner is traveling, the stopping unit is in contact with the abutting unit, such that the direction change device maintains a basically stationary state relative to a shell; and when the pool cleaner changes a direction, the stopping unit gradually detaches from the abutting unit and rotates relative to the abutting unit. The stopping unit is rotatable relative to a swinging element. The stopping unit rotates to contact or detach from the abutting unit, thereby enabling the pool cleaner to travel and change its direction.
