In some embodiments of the present invention, the cleaning robot 1 may further include a first communication pipe having one end communicating with the first debris collecting device 120 and the other end communicating with the second debris collecting device 220, and a first pump body. The first pump body is connected with the first communication pipe to discharge the sundries in the second sundry collecting device 220 to the first sundry collecting device 120. It should be noted that the term "connected" is to be understood in a broad sense, for example, the first pump body may be disposed on the first body 10, and the first pump body and the first communication pipe are indirectly connected through the first body 10. Therefore, the sundries collected by the second sundry collecting device 220 can be transmitted into the first sundry collecting device 120 through the first communicating pipe, so that the space of the second sundry collecting device 220 can be reduced, the volume of the second main body 20 can be reduced, and the driving of the second main body 20 can be facilitated.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the second body 20 may include a second drain device connected to the second cabinet 200 and communicating with the second debris collecting device 220 to drain water in the second debris collecting device 220. Thus, the second debris collecting device 220 can draw in debris-laden liquid from the pool 2, the debris can be retained in the second debris collecting device 220, and the liquid can flow from the second debris collecting device 220 into the second drain and out of the second housing 200.

In some examples of the invention, the cleaning brush 230 is coupled to the second housing 200, and the cleaning brush 230 is stationary relative to the second housing 200. For example, the cleaning brush 230 may be snapped, magnetically attracted, or attached via fasteners to the second housing 200. Thus, the installation of the cleaning brush 230 can be simplified. In still other embodiments of the present invention, the cleaning brush 230 is rotatably disposed on the second housing 200. Thereby, the cleaning effect of the cleaning brush 230 can be improved.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments of the present invention, the cleaning brush 230 is disposed at the bottom of the second housing 200. Therefore, the wall surface of the swimming pool 2 can be cleaned by the cleaning brush 230 conveniently, the hidden design of the cleaning brush 230 can be realized, the appearance performance of the second body 20 can be improved, and in addition, after the second body 20 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 101 of the first body 10, the cleaning brush 230 can extend out of the accommodating cavity 101 to be contacted with the ground so as to clean the ground.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the second body 20 may further include an adsorption member connected to the second housing 200 for adsorbing the second housing 200 to an inner wall surface of the swimming pool 2. Thus, the second body 20 can be made to walk on the side walls of the pool 2 so that the second body 20 can clean the side walls of the pool 2. Further, the adsorption component may be a magnetic adsorption component or a negative pressure adsorption component.
In some embodiments of the present invention, a second filter element is disposed within the second debris collector 220. The second filter element allows passage of liquid therethrough and does not allow passage of debris to retain the debris within the second debris collector 220. For example, the second filter may be a filter cotton or a filter net.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the second debris collecting device 220 is detachably coupled to the second housing 200. It is understood that the second debris collecting device 220 is independent with respect to the second housing 200, and the second debris collecting device 220 may be mounted to the second housing 200 or may be detached from the second housing 200. Therefore, the sundries in the second sundries collecting device 220 can be poured out conveniently.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the first body 10 may include a collision preventing assembly 150, and the collision preventing assembly 150 is provided to an outer circumferential wall of the first body 10.

The control valve is arranged on the second communicating pipe to control the water flow of the second communicating pipe in an opening-adjustable manner. It should be noted that, as used herein, the phrase "the opening degree of the second communication pipe is adjustably controlled" means that the flow rate of water in the second communication pipe can be controlled by adjusting the control valve. The second pump body is arranged on the second communicating pipe so as to inject or discharge water into or out of the water storage cavity. Therefore, the liquid in the swimming pool 2 can flow into the water storage chamber or flow out of the water storage chamber through the second communicating pipe, so that the weight of the second body 20 can be changed, and further the buoyancy of the second body 20 can be changed, so as to control the depth of the second body 20 in the swimming pool 2, and the swimming pool 2 can be cleaned in each area of the swimming pool 2.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the cleaning robot 1 further includes a second connection line having one end electrically connected to the first body 10 and the other end electrically connected to the second body 20.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, according to some embodiments of the present invention, at least one of the first body 10 and the second body 20 has a battery 40, and the battery 40 is a lithium battery or a solar battery. For example, the first body 10 may have a battery 40, and the battery 40 on the first body 10 may be connected to respective power consuming components on the second body 20 through a second connection line (power line) to supply power to the respective power consuming components on the second body 20. Thereby, the volume and weight of the second body 20 can be reduced to facilitate the driving of the second body 20. As another example, the first body 10 and the second body 20 are each provided with a separate battery 40. Thereby, independent power supply of the first body 10 and the second body 20 can be realized, and independent operation of the first body 10 and the second body 20 can be realized. According to some embodiments of the present invention, the cleaning robot 1 further includes a communication module provided on at least one of the first body 10 and the second body 20, the communication module being adapted to be communicatively connected with a terminal device.
