MECHANICAL DIRECTION CHANGE STRUCTURE FOR SWIMMING POOL CLEANER, AND SWIMMING POOL CLEANER

The present disclosure provides a mechanical direction change structure for a pool cleaner, and a pool cleaner. The mechanical direction change structure includes a rotating element, at least one stopping device, and at least one swinging element, where the rotating element includes a water inlet, a middle flow channel, and a rotating water outlet that are sequentially communicated for water to flow through; the rotating element is rotatable around a rotation axis and provided on a pool cleaner body; the stopping device is rotatable relative to the pool cleaner body; the swinging element is swingable around a swinging axis; when a pool cleaner is moving, the stopping device abuts with the swinging element, and the rotating water outlet is positioned in a first propelling direction; and when the pool cleaner is obstructed, the stopping device detaches from the swinging element, and the rotating water outlet rotates towards a second propelling direction. The embodiment of the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects. The embodiment of the present disclosure achieves stable abutment and detachment, avoids excessive energy consumption when the swinging element rotates relative to the pool cleaner body, and facilitates the pool cleaner to move along the desired path.
