Abstract

The present invention relates to a robot for cleaning swimming pools, comprising driving means which can transmit movement to movement means, where the movement means comprise two wheels ( 2 ) arranged in line on each side ( 3, 4 ) of the robot, the robot having two sides ( 3, 4 ), the driving means consisting of a drive unit ( 5 ) which is operatively connected to two wheels ( 2 ) located on a first side ( 3 ) of the robot, comprising at least one drive shaft ( 6 ) which allows transmitting the movement originating from the drive unit ( 5 ) from said first side ( 3 ) to the wheels ( 2 ) located on a second side ( 4 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A robot for cleaning swimming pools, comprising driving means which can transmit movement to movement means, where said movement means comprises two wheels ( 2 ) arranged in line on each side ( 3 ,  4 ) of the robot, the robot having two sides ( 3 ,  4 ), characterised in that the driving means consists of a drive unit ( 5 ) which is operatively connected to two wheels ( 2 ) located on a first side ( 3 ) of the robot, comprising at least one drive shaft ( 6 ) which allows transmitting the movement originating from the drive unit ( 5 ) from said first side ( 3 ) to the wheels ( 2 ) located on a second side ( 4 ). 
     
     
         2 . The robot for cleaning swimming pools according to  claim 1 , wherein it comprises a drive sprocket wheel ( 7 ) directly connected to the drive unit ( 5 ), said drive sprocket wheel ( 7 ) being operatively connected to a first intermediate sprocket wheel ( 8 ) which can transmit movement to two wheels ( 2 ) located on the first side ( 3 ) of the robot, where said first intermediate sprocket wheel ( 8 ) can in turn be operatively connected to a first transmission sprocket wheel ( 9 ) which is fixed at a first end of the drive shaft ( 6 ), where a second end of said drive shaft has a second transmission sprocket wheel ( 9 ′) fixed thereto which can be operatively connected to a second intermediate sprocket wheel ( 8 ′) which can transmit movement to two wheels ( 2 ) located on the second side ( 4 ) of the robot. 
     
     
         3 . The robot for cleaning swimming pools according to  claim 2 , wherein the transmission of movement from the intermediate sprocket wheels ( 8 ,  8 ′) to the wheels ( 2 ) is performed by means of sprocket wheels ( 10 ) which are fixed to the inner side of the wheels ( 2 ), said sprocket wheels ( 10 ) being operatively connected to the intermediate sprocket wheels ( 8 ,  8 ′). 
     
     
         4 . The robot for cleaning swimming pools according to  claim 1 , wherein it comprises at least one cleaning roller ( 1 ) located around a drive shaft ( 6 ). 
     
     
         5 . The robot for cleaning swimming pools according to  claim 1 , wherein the drive shaft ( 6 ) is arranged in its operating position by means of housing at least two pins ( 11 ) in at least two holes ( 12 ). 
     
     
         6 . The robot for cleaning swimming pools according to  claim 2 , wherein it comprises at least one cleaning roller ( 1 ) located around a drive shaft ( 6 ). 
     
     
         7 . The robot for cleaning swimming pools according to  claim 3 , wherein it comprises at least one cleaning roller ( 1 ) located around a drive shaft ( 6 ). 
     
     
         8 . The robot for cleaning swimming pools according to  claim 2 , wherein the drive shaft ( 6 ) is arranged in its operating position by means of housing at least two pins ( 11 ) in at least two holes ( 12 ). 
     
     
         9 . The robot for cleaning swimming pools according to  claim 3 , wherein the drive shaft ( 6 ) is arranged in its operating position by means of housing at least two pins ( 11 ) in at least two holes ( 12 ). 
     
     
         10 . The robot for cleaning swimming pools according to  claim 4 , wherein the drive shaft ( 6 ) is arranged in its operating position by means of housing at least two pins ( 11 ) in at least two holes ( 12 ). 
     
     
         11 . The robot for cleaning swimming pools according to  claim 6 , wherein the drive shaft ( 6 ) is arranged in its operating position by means of housing at least two pins ( 11 ) in at least two holes ( 12 ). 
     
     
         12 . The robot for cleaning swimming pools according to  claim 7 , wherein the drive shaft ( 6 ) is arranged in its operating position by means of housing at least two pins ( 11 ) in at least two holes ( 12 ).
