Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/015774
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a wheeled appliance for cleaning a submerged surface, comprising a hollow body; rolling members; a filter chamber formed within the hollow body; a motor-driven pumping device suitable for generating a stream of liquid between a liquid inlet (9) and a liquid outlet, the inlet and the outlet being connected to each other, said appliance being characterized in that it comprises a directional flow guide (91) mounted rotatably on a liquid outlet (10) about an axis of rotation and having a shape suitable for orienting the current of liquid which escapes through this propulsive outlet (10) through this flow guide (91) in such a way that it creates, by reaction, in a flow guide outlet, forces whose resultant has a non-zero component causing the appliance to be propelled parallel to the submerged surface; an actuator for turning said flow guide (91); and a unit for controlling said actuator for turning said flow guide (91).
