    Abstract: An obstacle touching detecting device for a swimming pool cleaner includes a main functional portion of the cleaner and a sensor obstacle touching detecting device. The main functional portion of the cleaner includes a cleaner main body, a controller module, and a power-driven actuating device. The controller module and the power-driven actuating device are connected to the cleaner main body. The sensor obstacle touching detecting device includes a trigger unit connected to the cleaner main body and a sensor detecting module electrically connected to the controller module. The controller module is electrically connected to the power-driven actuating device. The trigger unit works collaboratively with the sensor detecting module to trigger the sensor detecting module to generate a detection signal. An automatic detection is performed when the cleaner touches the wall or other obstacles, and the cleaner is controlled to change direction automatically.

    Abstract: A mechanism for detecting obstacles and mechanically reversing (a direction of) a pool cleaner includes a drive part in non-rotatable connection with a cleaner housing, an arresting assembly connected to the cleaner housing, and a rotary direction-changing assembly rotatably connected to the cleaner housing or the drive part. The arresting assembly cooperates with the rotary direction-changing assembly. The mechanism for detecting obstacles and mechanically reversing (a direction of) a pool cleaner is compact in structure, low in manufacturing cost, and can perform obstacle detection and change a direction of the pool cleaner. With the structure of the rotary direction-changing assembly capable of rotating relative to the cleaner housing, the cleaner, when meeting an obstacle, is allowed to change the traveling direction, thereby resulting in a high working efficiency.
