SELF-PROPELLED ROBOTIC SWIMMING POOL CLEANER WITH EXTENDIBLE ARMS FOR CLIMBING OUT OF A SWIMMING POOL

摘要

A self-propelled robotic pool cleaner for cleaning a swimming pool having a bottom surface, and a vertical sidewall terminating at a deck. The cleaner includes an interior chamber with a water pump and a filter. Water beneath the cleaner is drawn through an inlet and flows into the interior chamber, and filtered water is discharged through an outlet. Rotationally-mounted supports support and guide the cleaner along a pool surface. An electric motor mounted in the interior chamber is configured to move the cleaner on the pool surface. An arm assembly includes a first arm member having a distal end which is selectively extendible beyond a front end of the housing. A support member projecting from the distal end is configured to extend over and directly contact the deck to support the cleaner while the pool cleaner advances up the vertical sidewall of the pool.
