Abstract (en)
[origin: US2014262401A1] The present disclosure provides improved swimming pool cleaner drive mechanisms and associated methods. More particularly, the present disclosure provides an improved pool cleaner drive mechanism that includes a motor that powers the: (i) wheel(s) and (ii) drive member of the pool cleaner. A pool cleaner having a housing, a drive mechanism, one or more wheels, and a drive member is provided. The drive mechanism includes a gear drive and a motor associated with the housing. The motor powers the one or more wheels to move in a forward direction or a reverse direction and provides steering of the wheels. The motor also powers the drive member (e.g., a rotating drive member such as a propeller, impeller, fan, rotor, suction fan) into an ON and OFF position/state to propel the swimming pool cleaner. Embodiments are also directed to systems/methods of driving a swimming pool cleaner.
