Abstract

L'invention concerne un robot de piscine (1) relié à un mécanisme d'enroulement se présentant sous la forme d'un enrouleur de câble (5) pourvu d'un moteur d'entraînement (9) destiné à un câble électrique (8), qui peut être aussi un tuyau d'eau flexible, qui se trouve sous un carter de recouvrement (4) ou dans le robot de piscine (1). Le câble électrique (8) sert de moyen de traction et de guidage pour le robot de piscine (1) et permet le passage d'un courant (S) et/ou d'une fibre optique et/ou d'eau (W). Le nettoyage du filtre (11) se fait manuellement ou automatiquement dans le robot de piscine (1) ou sur un filtre externe, le robot de piscine (1) au repos s'arrête verticalement au niveau de l'eau (WL) ou au-dessus du niveau de l'eau (WL) en position horizontale et, lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé, se range à l'abri sous le carter de recouvrement (4), et les moteurs du robot (60) agissent dans un fluide (F), lequel fluide (F) se trouve sous pression et est constamment ajusté automatiquement en cas de fuite.
