Pool cleaner modular drivetrain
First Claim
1. A pool cleaner for cleaning a pool or spa, comprising:
- a chassis having a motor box housing, a first drive gear box housing, and a second drive gear box housing;
a first roller set;
a second roller set;
a first roller drive gear train in mechanical communication with the first roller set;
a second roller drive gear train in mechanical communication with the second roller set;
a first roller drive gear box including a housing and a first gear stack secured within the housing, the first roller drive gear box removably mounted within the first drive gear box housing and in mechanical communication with the first roller drive gear train;
a second roller drive gear box including a housing and a second gear stack secured within the housing, the second roller drive gear box removably mounted within the second drive gear box housing and in mechanical communication with the second roller drive gear train; and
a motor box including a first drive motor and a second drive motor, the motor box mounted within the motor box housing with the first drive motor in mechanical communication with the first gear stack and the second drive motor in mechanical communication with the second gear stack;
wherein the first drive motor drives rotation of the first gear stack, the first gear stack drives rotation of the first roller drive gear train, and the first roller drive gear train drives rotation of the first roller set,wherein the second drive motor drives rotation of the second gear stack, the second gear stack drives rotation of the second roller drive gear train, and the second roller drive gear train drives rotation of the second roller set, andwherein said pool cleaner creates a suction effect at an inlet opening receiving debris-laden water from the pool or spa.
