DEVICE FOR THE REMOTE CONTROL OF A MOTORIZED UNDERWATER SURFACE CLEANING APPARATUS AND APPARATUS THUS CONTROLLED
First Claim
1. Device for the remote control of a motorized underwater surface cleaning apparatus, said apparatus comprising:
- a body,a drive device comprising guide and drive systems capable of driving and guiding the body on the submerged surface in at least one direction, called lengthwise direction, and in at least two distinct modes of movement,said remote control device;
comprising a control terminal comprising at least a housing,being capable of producing and transmitting to the drive device, via a communication link, control signals for the drive device,characterized in that;
at least one housing comprises an orientation detector integral with said housing, and capable of furnishing signals representative of at least one orientation parameter of the housing,it further comprises a processing unit of the signals furnished by the orientation detector, capable of producing control signals representative;
of a first command of the drive device for an orientation parameter included within a first predetermined interval of values,of a second command of the drive device, different from the first command, for an orientation parameter falling within a second predetermined interval of values, separate from the first interval.
