Abstract
Disclosed are a method for a pool cleaning apparatus to move sideways and a corresponding pool cleaning apparatus. The method may include: if the condition for the pool cleaning apparatus to move sideways is satisfied, controlling the pool cleaning apparatus to enter a sideways movement operating mode, so that the pool cleaning apparatus moves towards one side, and in the sideways movement operating mode, controlling a discharging pump to provide a thrust to a side opposite the one side; in the sideways movement operating mode, controlling the pool cleaning apparatus to drive the driving wheels on both sides at a target rotational speed difference, so that the pool cleaning apparatus is tilted towards the one side.
Claims20
A sideways movement method for a pool cleaning apparatus, comprising:
- in response to a condition for the pool cleaning apparatus to move sideways is satisfied, controlling at least one discharging pump and driving wheels arranged on both sides of a body of the pool cleaning apparatus to enter a sideways movement operating mode, so that the pool cleaning apparatus moves towards one side;
- wherein in the sideways movement operating mode,
- the driving wheels are driven at a target rotational speed difference so that the pool cleaning apparatus is tilted towards the one side.
A pool cleaning apparatus comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to detect whether a condition for the pool cleaning apparatus to move sideways is satisfied;
- at least one discharging pump configured to discharge water on at least one side;
- driving wheels arranged on both sides of a body of the pool cleaning apparatus;
- and
- a controller comprising hardware, the controller being configured to control the at least one discharging pump and the driving wheels to enter a sideways movement operating mode based on a detection result of the at least one sensor, so that the pool cleaning apparatus moves to one side,
- wherein, in the sideways movement operating mode,
- the driving wheels are driven at a rotational speed difference so that the pool cleaning apparatus is tilted towards the one side.
