[0039] As shown in FIG. 5, the first transmission mechanism 6 includes a power transmission shaft 61 and a transmission gear set 62, wherein the first gear 22 and the transmission gear set 62 are engaged with each other; one end of the power transmission shaft 61 is engaged with the third transmission mechanism 8; the other end of the power transmission shaft 61 is engaged with the fourth transmission mechanism 9; the power transmission shaft 61 is fixedly connected with the transmission gear set 62; and the transmission gear set 62 drives the power transmission shaft 61 to rotate.

However, one end of the power transmission shaft 61 connected with the fourth transmission mechanism 9 is axially fixed, and can only be engaged with the driving wheel internal gear 812. The fourth transmission mechanism 9 can only rotate in one direction.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 6, the driving wheel 81 is a rotating body having both a driving wheel internal gear 812 and a driving wheel external gear 813, and the driving wheel internal gear 812 and the driving wheel external gear 813 are in coaxial positions; the power transmission shaft 61 in the first transmission mechanism 6 is arranged between the driving wheel internal gear 812 and the driving wheel external gear 813, and is engaged with the driving wheel internal gear 812 or the driving wheel external gear 813; when the power transmission shaft 61 is engaged with the driving wheel internal gear 812, engaging rotation directions are the same direction; and when the power transmission shaft 61 is engaged with the driving wheel external gear 813, the engaging rotation directions are opposite directions.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 8, the reversing mechanism 4 includes a guide member 41 and a movable member 42; the guide member 41 is a cam having a larger radius part and a smaller radius part; the guide member 41 is connected with the second transmission mechanism 7; the second transmission mechanism 7 drives the guide member 41 to rotate; the movable member 42 includes a roller 421 and a roller bracket 422; the roller 42 is arranged at one end of the roller bracket 422 near the guide member 41 and is rotatably connected with the roller bracket 422; the roller bracket 422 can slide back and forth; the roller bracket 422 is sleeved on the power transmission shaft 61 in the first transmission mechanism 6; the roller bracket 422 drives the power transmission shaft 61 to slide back and forth together; and the guide member 41 is in contact with the roller 421.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of rolling skirt wings 11 are also symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the housing 1; the rolling skirt wings 11 are rotatably connected with the housing 1; and the rolling skirt wings 11 are used to increase suction around the water inlet at the bottom of the housing 1.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 4, the travelling mechanism 3 is composed of a driven wheel 31, a driving wheel 32 and a track 33; an inner surface and an outer surface of the track 33 are provided with teeth; the teeth on the inner surface of the track 33 are engaged with the driving wheel 31 and the driven wheel 32; the outer surface of the track 33 is also provided with a full circle of reinforcing belt; the reinforcing belt is perpendicular to the direction of the teeth on the outer surface of the track 33; both sides of the track 33 are convex and wrap the driving wheel 32 and the driven wheel 31, or the driven wheel 31 and the driving wheel 32 are provided with grooves; the track 33 is nested in the grooves of the driving wheel 32 and the driven wheel 31; and the width of the track 33 is smaller than the width of the grooves.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 9, the swing head component 51 of the rotating swing joint mechanism 5 can swing back and forth along the upper cover plate 52, and the water outlet joint 511 can rotate. When the cleaner travels to the wall of the pool, the swing head component 51 of the rotating swing joint mechanism 5 can swing the direction to adapt to the connection with a water pipe, thereby reducing a torsional force on the cleaner due to the buoyancy of the water pipe, so that the cleaner is easy to climb up the wall of the pool, so as to increase the cleaning range of the pool.

[0047] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: water is sucked in from the water inlet 10 at the bottom of the cleaner housing 1, is rotated by the impeller component 24, and is discharged from the water outlet joint 511. The water outlet joint 511 is connected with the water pipe; the water pipe is connected with a water pump; the impeller component 24 drives the motor output shaft 21; the first gear 22 at one end of the motor output shaft 21 drives the first transmission mechanism 6; and the second gear 23 at the other end drives the second transmission mechanism 7. The first transmission mechanism 6 transmits the power to the third transmission mechanism 8 and the fourth transmission mechanism 9 through the power transmission shaft 61; the third transmission mechanism 8 and the fourth transmission mechanism 9 drive the travelling mechanisms 3 on the left side and the right side of the housing 1; and the second transmission mechanism 7 drives the reversing mechanism 4. Specifically, the second gear 23 drives the second transmission mechanism 7 to rotate. The second transmission mechanism 7 drives the guide member 41 engaged with the second transmission mechanism 7 to rotate together, and the guide member 41 is in contact with the roller 421. The roller 421 swings under the guidance of the guide member 41. The roller 421 drives the roller bracket 422 to slide back and forth. The roller bracket 422 drives the power transmission shaft 51 to slide back and forth together. Since one end of the power transmission shaft 61 engaged with the fourth transmission mechanism 9 is a fixed end, and one end of the power transmission shaft 61 engaged with the third transmission mechanism 8 is a movable end, only one end engaged with the third transmission mechanism 8 can slide back and forth to engage with the driving wheel internal gear 812 or the driving wheel external gear 813. When the power transmission shaft 61 is engaged with the driving wheel internal gear 812, engaging rotation directions are the same direction; and when the power transmission shaft 61 is engaged with the driving wheel external gear 813, the engaging rotation directions are opposite directions. That is, when the rotation directions of the third transmission mechanism 8 and the fourth transmission mechanism 9 are consistent, the rotation directions are advancing directions; and when the rotation directions of the third transmission mechanism 8 and the fourth transmission mechanism 9 are opposite to each other, the rotation directions are turning directions, thereby realizing the reversing.

[0048] The above only describes preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Therefore, any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made using the description and drawings of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
