(54) Automated pool cleaning vehicle with rotating and stationary scrubbing elements


(57) Disclosed herein is a submersible pool cleaning vehicle (PCV) (20) having both cleaning and scrubbing structures. The PCV includes spaced wheels (30) and several sets of scrubbing members (60,62,64). Each of the scrubbing members includes a plurality of scrubbing elements. The PCV also includes a cleaning brush (42) for dislodging particles. In one exemplary embodiment, the PCV includes a fixed scrubbing member (60) and two rotating scrubbing members (62,64). The rotating scrubbing members act cooperatively and create a current after dislodging particles and dirt from the pool surface. The rotating scrubbing members direct the current carrying such dislodged material toward the intakes of the PCV so that it can be permanently removed from the pool water.
