A swimming pool cleaning apparatus may include a body, a hydraulic circuit for liquid circulation between a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet and through a filtration chamber, driving and guiding members of the body on a submerged surface, and defining a guide plane (XY), and an adjustment mechanism for the orientation of a liquid flow, disposed at the outlet of the liquid outlet. The adjustment mechanism is adapted to direct the flow of liquid that escapes from the liquid outlet in (at least) two predefined directions, one of which corresponds to a first direction inclined with respect to the guide plane and the other of which corresponds to a direction substantially perpendicular to the guide plane.

Swimming pool cleaner with orientable liquid flux

The invention relates to a swimming pool cleaning system comprising a cleaning apparatus to be immersed in the pool, the system further comprising at least one moving image acquisition means secured to a float via a flexible tie.

Swimming pool cleaning system with image capture device

A device for extraction of a swimming pool cleaning robot from water or for putting the swimming pool cleaning robot into water includes a support frame and a plate. The plate can be deployed relative to the support frame beyond the support frame and below the support frame. Deployment of the plate relative to the support frame may be controlled.

Device for extraction of a swimming pool cleaning device

The invention relates to a pool cleaning apparatus including: a cleaning unit (), at least one hydraulic system for circulating a liquid between at least one liquid inlet () and at least one liquid outlet () and through a filtration device of the cleaning unit (), a pump suitable for forcing the circulation of water between the liquid inlet () and the liquid outlet () and through the filtration device, drive and guide means for moving the cleaning unit, and means for controlling said drive and guide means. The pool cleaning apparatus includes at least one debris detection means placed in the hydraulic system of the cleaning unit ().

Pool cleaning apparatus with optimized control

Swimming pool cleaning apparatus may include a cleaning unit intended to be immersed in a swimming pool and at least one liquid filter circuit between at least one liquid inlet and at least one liquid outlet via a filter chamber removable from the body of the cleaning unit. The filter chamber may include a cover and a filter basket. The cover may include components for fastening the filter basket and locking the filter chamber to the body of the cleaning unit. The locking component may be releasable and, when released, may cause an extraction handle to be deployed from the filter chamber and urged toward a predetermined position.

Swimming pool cleaning device including a removable filter device

A swimming pool cleaning apparatus () may include a body (), a hydraulic circuit for liquid circulation between a liquid inlet () and a liquid outlet () and through a filtration chamber (), driving and guiding members () of the body on a submerged surface, and defining a guide plane (XY), and an adjustment mechanism () for the orientation of a liquid flow, disposed at the outlet of the liquid outlet. The adjustment mechanism is adapted to direct the flow of liquid that escapes from the liquid outlet in (at least) two predefined directions, one of which () corresponds to a first direction inclined with respect to the guide plane and the other of which () corresponds to a direction substantially perpendicular to the guide plane.

The invention relates to a swimming-pool cleaning apparatus which comprises: a body; at least one hydraulic circuit for circulating liquid between at least one liquid intake and at least one liquid outlet, and through a filtering device of the cleaning apparatus; a fluid-circulation pump installed in the hydraulic circuit downstream from the filtering device; means for adjusting the pressure inside the hydraulic circuit upstream from the circulation pump, in response to a detected variation of said pressure, said pressure-adjustment means comprising: at least one secondary liquid intake () connected to the hydraulic circuit, upstream from the circulation pump, said at least one secondary liquid intake () being provided with a valve () mounted rotatably movable about an axis of rotation, and with means for driving the valve from an open position to a closed position, said means for driving the valve comprising a float (), the orientation and/or the force of which depend on the orientation of the cleaning apparatus relative to a horizontal plane.

Swimming-pool cleaning apparatus comprising means for adjusting the pressure inside said apparatus

The invention relates to a swimming pool cleaning system comprising a cleaning apparatus () to be immersed in the pool, the system further comprising at least one moving image acquisition means () secured to a float () via a flexible tie ().

Swimming pool cleaners may operate autonomously within pools and spas. The cleaners need not include any external hoses or cords, and their bodies may be oriented at pool waterlines so as to make their on-board filters readily accessible for removal. The cleaners may dock at docking stations for various purposes, including (but not limited to) for charging any on-board battery and communicating electronically with the docking station or other external equipment.

Autonomous cleaning systems principally for swimming pools

The invention relates to a device () for separating out debris suspended in a liquid, for a swimming pool cleaning apparatus, said cleaning apparatus comprising: &#x2014;a body (), &#x2014;at least one hydraulic circuit circulating liquid between at least one liquid inlet () and at least one liquid outlet (), and through the separation housing () that separates out debris suspended in the liquid, &#x2014;a fluid circulation pump installed in the hydraulic circuit. The device () for separating out debris suspended in a liquid comprises means for the centrifugal spinning of the debris suspended in the liquid and a tank for collecting said centrifugally separated debris. The separation device () comprises a liquid supply duct () opening into a filtration chamber () defining a substantially cylindrical volume, tangentially to a cylindrical wall () of said filtration chamber, said filtration chamber () communicating with the collecting tank () that collects the centrifugally separated debris.
