[0050] This utility model proposes a cleaning machine with high water resource utilization.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 9In one embodiment, the cleaning machine 10 includes a water storage container 100, a mixing valve 200, a water outlet assembly 300, and a circulating filter assembly 400. The water storage container 100 has a first water chamber 110 and a second water chamber 120. The first water chamber 110 is connected to an external hot water source, and the second water chamber 120 is connected to an external ambient temperature water source. The mixing valve 200 is connected to the first water chamber 110 and the second water chamber 120, respectively. One end of the water outlet assembly 300 is connected to the mixing valve 200, and the other end of the water outlet assembly 300 is connected to the water user. The circulating filter assembly 400 has a suction end 410 and a connection end 420. The connection end 420 is connected to the second water chamber 120. The circulating filter assembly 400 is used to draw in used water or other water sources through the suction end 410, filter it, and then deliver it to the second water chamber 120.

[0052] Understandably, the cleaning machine 10 can be used as a household appliance or a commercial appliance. Its uses are varied; for example, it can be used as a shower machine for users to bathe, or as a cleaning device for appliances, furniture, etc. The specific application is not limited. The dotted arrows in the accompanying diagram indicate the direction of water flow.

[0053] Furthermore, the first water chamber 110 of the water storage container 100 is connected to an external hot water source to store hot water flowing from the municipal water supply system. This means the external hot water source provides hot water to the municipal water supply system. Hot water typically refers to water with a temperature between 40 and 80 degrees Celsius. However, the specific temperature range of hot water may vary depending on the region, and the specific temperature of the hot water is not limited. The second water chamber 120 of the water storage container 100 is connected to an external ambient temperature water source to store ambient temperature water flowing from the municipal water supply system. This means the external ambient temperature water source provides ambient temperature water to the municipal water supply system. Ambient temperature water is tap water, typically with a temperature between 10 and 25 degrees Celsius. The specific temperature is affected by the season and environment; in winter, the ambient temperature water is lower, and in summer, it is higher. The specific temperature of the ambient temperature water is not limited.

[0054] Furthermore, the mixing valve 200 can be located outside the water storage container 100, or it can be located on the water storage container 100. The specific installation location is not limited, as long as the mixing valve 200 can connect to both the first water chamber 110 and the second water chamber 120. The mixing valve 200 can be a mechanical thermostatic valve or an electronic thermostatic valve; the specific configuration can be determined as needed and is not limited here. By setting the mixing valve 200, the hot water in the first water chamber 110 and the room temperature water in the second water chamber 120 can be mixed according to usage requirements to meet the user's water temperature needs.

[0055] Furthermore, the water outlet assembly 300 is connected to the mixing valve 200 to discharge the mixed water to the user. The water outlet assembly 300 may include a water outlet component 102, which includes, but is not limited to, a faucet, a shower head, etc.; of course, the water outlet assembly 300 may also not include the water outlet component 102, and users can configure suitable faucets, shower heads, etc. according to their own needs.

[0056] Furthermore, the circulating filter assembly 400 can be integrated into the water storage container 100. Alternatively, the water storage container 100 can be located outside the water storage container 100, provided that the connection end 420 of the circulating filter assembly 400 is connected to the second water chamber 120. The circulating filter assembly 400 has both water absorption and filtration functions. It draws in water through the water absorption end 410 and filters it, ensuring that the water flowing into the second water chamber 120 is clean. The water absorbed by the water absorption end 410 can be water from the washing machine 10 after use, such as bath water or water after cleaning equipment. Of course, the water absorption end 410 can also absorb water from other sources, such as water from other equipment or rainwater. In other words, the source of the water absorbed by the water absorption end 410 of the circulating filter assembly 400 is not limited. The water absorption end 410 of the circulating filter assembly 400 can be located below the water storage container 100, such as on the floor of an indoor bathroom, or in a separate water storage tank used to store water from washing or other water sources. The cleaning machine 10 in this solution, by setting up a circulating filter component 400, can recycle the water after use, reduce water waste, improve water utilization, and has the function of water saving and energy saving.

[0057] The cleaning machine 10 of this utility model includes a water storage container 100, a mixing valve 200, a water outlet assembly 300, and a circulating filter assembly 400. The water storage container 100 has a first water chamber 110 and a second water chamber 120. The first water chamber 110 is connected to an external hot water source, allowing hot water supplied by the municipal water supply system to flow into the first water chamber 110. The second water chamber 120 is connected to an external ambient temperature water source, allowing ambient temperature water supplied by the municipal water supply system to flow into the second water chamber 120. The mixing valve 200 is connected to both the first water chamber 110 and the second water chamber 120 to mix the hot water in the first water chamber 110 and the ambient temperature water in the second water chamber 120 according to usage requirements. The mixed water flows along the water outlet assembly 300 towards the user. The water end is provided for user cleaning, thus the cleaning machine 10 can directly adapt to both ambient temperature and hot water supplied by the water supply system, making it highly adaptable. Furthermore, the circulating filter assembly 400 has a water intake end 410 and a connecting end 420, with the connecting end 420 communicating with the second water chamber 120. The circulating filter assembly 400 is used to draw in used water or other water sources through the water intake end 410, filter it, and then deliver it to the second water chamber 120. The water flowing into the second water chamber 120 then flows through the water outlet assembly 300 to the water-using end for user cleaning. In this way, the cleaning machine 10 can recycle used water or water from other sources, reducing water consumption and saving water resources. Therefore, the cleaning machine 10 has a high water resource utilization rate. Thus, this utility model provides a new cleaning machine 10 with a high water resource utilization rate.

[0058] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 In this embodiment, the water outlet assembly 300 includes a first pipe 310 and a first pump body 320. One end of the first pipe 310 is connected to the mixing valve 200, and the other end of the first pipe 310 is connected to the water-using end. The first pump body 320 is mounted on the first pipe 310. It is understood that by providing the first pump body 320, the water mixed by the mixing valve 200 can be pumped along the first pipe 310 to the water-using end, providing a strong water flow and improving the cleaning capacity of the cleaning machine 10. Furthermore, a water outlet component 102 can be installed at the water outlet end of the first pipe 310 for user convenience.

[0059] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 9In this embodiment, the circulating filtration assembly 400 includes a second pipeline 430, a second pump body 440, and a filter element 450. The second pipeline 430 has a water intake end 410 and a connection end 420. The second pump body 440 is disposed on the second pipeline 430 and located between the connection end 420 and the water intake end 410. The filter element 450 is disposed on the second pipeline 430 between the connection end 420 and the second pump body 440. It is understood that when the second pump body 440 is running, the motor or other power source of the second pump body 440 drives the impeller inside the pump body to rotate. The rotation of the impeller creates a negative pressure at the water intake end 410, drawing used water or other water sources into the pump body. After the water passes through the high-speed rotation of the impeller, its kinetic and pressure energy increases, and it is pumped into the second water chamber 120. Furthermore, the water drawn in by the second pump body 440 can also flow through the filter element 450 for filtration. The types of filter element 450 include, but are not limited to, activated carbon filters, reverse osmosis membranes, ceramic filters, etc. The filter element 450 can remove impurities, pollutants, microorganisms, bacteria and viruses from the water to purify the water, so that the water flowing into the second water chamber 120 is clean water.

[0060] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the cleaning machine 10 further includes a first valve body 101, the lower end of the water storage container 100 is provided with a water passage hole communicating with the second water chamber 120, the connecting end 420 is communicating with the second water chamber 120 through the water passage hole, and the first valve body 101 is disposed on the second pipeline 430 between the connecting end 420 and the filter element 450.

[0061] It is understood that the connection end 420 of the circulating filter assembly 400 is located at the water passage hole and communicates with the second water chamber 120. The connection end 420 can be located outside or inside the water passage hole, and the specific location is not limited here. The water passage hole is located at the lower end of the water storage container 100, which helps to shorten the vertical height of the second pump body 440 pumping water into the second water chamber 120 and reduce power consumption. Furthermore, when the second water chamber 120 needs to be drained, the first valve body 101 only needs to be opened, and the water in the second water chamber 120 can flow outward along the water passage hole located at the lower end of the second water chamber 120 under the action of gravity, which improves the smoothness of drainage and avoids the situation where bacteria grow and the container is corroded by the water remaining in the second water chamber 120 when the cleaning machine 10 is not used for a long time, thus improving the applicability of the cleaning machine 10.

[0062] Please see Figure 3In one embodiment, the cleaning machine 10 has a circulating washing mode. In the circulating washing mode, the outlet of the mixing valve 200 is opened, the first pump body 320 and the second pump body 440 are running, the first valve body 101 is open, and the water after washing or water from other water sources is drawn in through the water suction end 410 and filtered by the filter element 450 before flowing into the second water chamber 120 through the water passage. The water in the first water chamber 110 and / or the second water chamber 120 flows sequentially through the mixing valve 200 and the first pump body 320 before flowing to the water-using end.

[0063] It is understood that the washing machine 10 also includes a control module. The control module is connected to the mixing valve 200, the first pump body 320, the second pump body 440, and the first valve body 101 to control the opening degree of the mixing valve 200, and to control the opening or closing of the first pump body 320, the second pump body 440, and the first valve body 101. In this solution, the circulating washing mode is a water-saving and energy-saving mode in which the washing machine 10 draws in used water or other water sources. After receiving the water intake signal, the control module controls the outlet of the mixing valve 200 to open, controls the operation of the first pump body 320, controls the operation of the second pump body 440, and controls the opening of the first valve body 101, so that the washing machine 10 is in the circulating washing mode. Specifically, in the circulating washing mode, an external hot water source supplies hot water to the first water chamber 110, and an external ambient temperature water source supplies ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 120. The circulating filter assembly 400 draws in used water or other water sources into the second water chamber 120. The mixing valve 200 mixes the hot and ambient temperature water, and the mixed water is pumped to the user's end via the first pump body 320 for washing. Therefore, when the washing machine 10 operates in the circulating washing mode, it can achieve water and energy saving, and users can select the appropriate mode according to their needs. The water source in the second water chamber 120 will be described in detail later and will not be repeated here.

[0064] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 9In this embodiment, the upper end of the water storage container 100 is provided with a water passage hole communicating with the second water chamber 120, and the connecting end 420 communicates with the second water chamber 120 through the water passage hole. It is understood that the connecting end 420 of the circulating filter assembly 400 is located at the water passage hole and communicates with the second water chamber 120. The connecting end 420 can be located outside or inside the water passage hole; no specific limitation is made here. By placing the water passage hole at the upper end of the water storage container 100, a valve body is not required on the second pipeline 430 located between the filter element 450 and the connecting end 420 to control the opening and closing of the second pipeline 430. This prevents water in the second water chamber 120 from flowing out through the water passage hole and affecting the normal operation of the cleaning machine 10 when no valve body is provided and the water passage hole is located at the lower end of the water storage container 100. Therefore, it can be seen that the solution places the water passage at the upper end of the water storage container 100, which helps to simplify the structure of the cleaning machine 10 and also improves the reliability of the cleaning machine 10.

[0065] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 11 In this embodiment, the cleaning machine 10 has a circulating washing mode. In the circulating washing mode, the outlet of the mixing valve 200 is opened, the first pump body 320 and the second pump body 440 are running, and the water after washing or water from other water sources is drawn in through the suction end 410 and filtered by the filter element 450 before flowing into the second water chamber 120 through the water passage. The water in the first water chamber 110 and / or the second water chamber 120 flows sequentially through the mixing valve 200 and the first pump body 320 before flowing to the water-using end.

[0066] It is understood that the washing machine 10 also includes a control module, which is connected to the mixing valve 200, the first pump body 320, and the second pump body 440 to control the opening degree of the mixing valve 200 and to control the opening or closing of the first pump body 320 and the second pump body 440. In this scheme, the circulating washing mode is a water-saving and energy-saving mode in which the washing machine 10 draws in used water or other water sources. After receiving the water intake signal, the control module controls the outlet of the mixing valve 200 to open, controls the operation of the first pump body 320, and controls the operation of the second pump body 440 to put the washing machine 10 into the circulating washing mode. Specifically, in the circulating washing mode, an external hot water source supplies hot water to the first water chamber 110, an external ambient temperature water source supplies ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 120, and / or the circulating filter assembly 400 draws in used water or other water sources into the second water chamber 120. The mixing valve 200 mixes the hot water and the ambient temperature water, and the mixed water is pumped to the user's end via the first pump body 320 for washing. The water source in the second water chamber 120 will be described in detail later and will not be repeated here.

[0067] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 9In one embodiment, the upper end of the water storage container 100 is provided with a water passage hole communicating with the second water chamber 120, and the connecting end 420 is connected to the second water chamber 120 through the water passage hole; the cleaning machine 10 has a circulating washing mode. In the circulating washing mode, the outlet of the mixing valve 200 is opened, the first pump body 320 and the second pump body 440 are running, and the water after washing or water from other water sources is drawn in through the suction end 410 and filtered by the filter element 450 before flowing into the second water chamber 120 through the water passage hole. The water in the first water chamber 110 and / or the second water chamber 120 flows sequentially through the mixing valve 200 and the first pump body 320 before flowing to the water-using end.

[0068] By placing the water passage hole at the upper end of the water storage container 100, a valve body is not required on the second pipeline 430 located between the filter element 450 and the connecting end 420 to control the opening and closing of the second pipeline 430. This prevents water in the second water chamber 120 from flowing out through the water passage hole when no valve body is installed and the water passage hole is located at the lower end of the water storage container 100, thus affecting the normal operation of the cleaning machine 10. The circulating washing mode is a water-saving and energy-saving mode in which the cleaning machine 10 draws in used water or other water sources. After receiving the water intake signal, the control module controls the outlet of the mixing valve 200 to open, controls the first pump body 320 to run, and controls the second pump body 440 to run, so that the cleaning machine 10 is in the circulating washing mode. In the circulating washing mode, an external hot water source supplies hot water to the first water chamber 110, and an external ambient temperature water source supplies ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 120. The circulating filter assembly 400 draws in used water or other water sources into the second water chamber 120. The mixing valve 200 mixes the hot and ambient temperature water, and the mixed water is pumped to the user's end via the first pump body 320 for washing. The water source in the second water chamber 120 will be detailed later and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0069] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, the cleaning machine 10 has a first washing mode. In the first washing mode, the outlet of the mixing valve 200 is open, the first pump body 320 is running, the second pump body 440 is not running, and the water in the first water chamber 110 and / or the second water chamber 120 flows sequentially through the mixing valve 200 and the first pump body 320 before flowing to the water-using end.

[0070] It is understood that the control module of the cleaning machine 10 is connected to the mixing valve 200, the first pump body 320, and the second pump body 440 to control the opening degree of the mixing valve 200 and to control the opening or closing of the first pump body 320 and the second pump body 440. In this scheme, the first washing mode is the normal water output mode of the cleaning machine 10. After receiving the washing signal, the control module controls the outlet of the mixing valve 200 to open, controls the first pump body 320 to run, and controls the second pump body 440 to stop running, so that the cleaning machine 10 is in the first washing mode. At this time, the circulating filter assembly 400 will not draw water from the outside into the second water chamber 120. Specifically, in the first washing mode, an external hot water source provides hot water to the first water chamber 110, and an external ambient temperature water source provides ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 120. The mixing valve 200 mixes the hot water and the ambient temperature water, and the mixed water is pumped to the water-using end by the first pump body 320 for user washing.

[0071] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 In this embodiment, the cleaning machine 10 further includes a drainage component 500, which is connected to the first pipe 310. The cleaning machine 10 is used to drain the remaining water after washing through the drainage component 500. It is understood that after the cleaning machine 10 finishes washing, water remains in the first water chamber 110 and the second water chamber 120 of the water storage container 100, and water also remains in the first pipe 310 of the water outlet component 300. If the cleaning machine 10 is not used for a long time, the water remaining in the water chambers and pipes is prone to bacterial growth and corrosion of the container and pipes, affecting the service life of the cleaning machine 10. Therefore, the cleaning machine 10 in this solution is equipped with a drainage component 500, which is connected to the first pipeline 310. The water remaining after washing in the first water chamber 110 and / or the second water chamber 120 can flow into the first pipeline 310. The water remaining after washing in the first pipeline 310 can flow through the discharge component and be discharged outward, so as to realize the function of the cleaning machine 10 to discharge the water remaining after washing, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the cleaning machine 10.

[0072] In one embodiment, the washing machine 10 further includes a drainage assembly 500, which includes a first drain pipe 510 and a first drain valve 520. One end of the first drain pipe 510 is connected to the lower end of the first pipeline 310, and the other end of the first drain pipe 510 is used to drain water outwards. The first drain valve 520 is disposed on the first drain pipe 510. It can be understood that when the washing machine 10 is in the circulating washing mode and the first washing mode, the water outlet assembly 300 drains water to the water-using end, and the first drain valve 520 is closed at this time; when the washing machine 10 is in the drainage mode, the first drain valve 520 is opened, and the water in the first water chamber 110, the second water chamber 120 and the first pipeline 310 can be discharged outwards along the first drain pipe 510. This solution connects the first drain pipe 510 to the lower end of the first pipeline 310. The outlet of the first drain pipe 510 can be located below the first pipeline 310, so that the water in the first pipeline 310 can flow into the first drain pipe 510 under the action of gravity and then be discharged outward along the first drain pipe 510, which helps to improve the smoothness of drainage.

[0073] In one embodiment, the washing machine 10 further includes a drainage assembly 500, which includes a first drain pipe 510, a first drain valve 520, a second drain pipe 530, and a second drain valve 540. One end of the first drain pipe 510 is connected to the lower end of the first pipeline 310, and the other end of the first drain pipe 510 is used for draining water outwards. The first drain valve 520 is disposed on the first drain pipe 510. One end of the second drain pipe 530 is connected to the second pipeline 430 between the second pump body 440 and the filter element 450, and the other end of the second drain pipe 530 is used for draining water outwards. The second drain valve 540 is disposed on the second drain pipe 530. It is understood that after the cyclic washing mode ends, water remains in the second pipeline 430. If the washing machine 10 is not used for a long time, the water remaining in the second pipeline 430 is prone to bacterial growth and corrosion of the pipes, affecting the service life of the cyclic filter assembly 400. Therefore, by setting up a second drain pipe 530 and a second drain valve 540 in this solution, the remaining water in the second pipe 430 can also be discharged to the outside.

[0074] Specifically, when the washing machine 10 is in the circulating washing mode or the first washing mode, the water outlet component 300 drains water to the water-using end, and the second drain valve 540 is closed at this time. When the washing machine 10 is in the draining mode, the second drain valve 540 opens, and the water in the filter element 450 and the second pipe 430 can be discharged outward along the second drain pipe 530. This solution connects the second drain pipe 530 to the second pipe 430 between the second pump body 440 and the filter element 450. The water in the second pipe 430 flows outward through the second drain pipe 530 without passing through the second pump body 440, and the second pump body 440 does not operate, which helps to reduce energy consumption and improve drainage smoothness. In addition, the water outlet of the second drain pipe 530 can be located below the first pipe 310, which further improves the drainage smoothness. Users can choose the circulating washing mode or the first washing mode as needed to achieve water-saving and energy-saving functions or regular cleaning functions.

[0075] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 12 In one embodiment, the cleaning machine 10 has a drainage mode. In the drainage mode, the outlet of the mixing valve 200 is open, the first pump body 320 and the second pump body 440 are not running, the first drain valve 520 and the second drain valve 540 are open, and the water in the first water chamber 110, the second water chamber 120, the first pipe 310 and the second pipe 430 flows outward through the first drain pipe 510 and / or the second drain pipe 530.

[0076] Understandably, the drainage mode is the mode in which the cleaning machine 10 discharges the remaining water after washing. Upon receiving a drainage signal, the control module controls the outlet of the mixing valve 200 to open, the first pump 320 to stop operating, the second pump 440 to stop operating, the first drain valve 520 to open, and the second drain valve 540 to open, thus putting the cleaning machine 10 into drainage mode. Specifically, in drainage mode, the remaining water in the first water chamber 110 and / or the second water chamber 120 flows into the first pipe 310, and the water in the first pipe 310 is discharged outwards along the first drain pipe 510. Similarly, the water in the second pipe 430 is discharged outwards along the second drain pipe 530. When one end of the first drain pipe 510 is connected to the second pipe 430, the water in the first pipe 310 can also flow into the second pipe 430 before being discharged outwards. By draining water in drainage mode, the cleaning machine 10 can prevent bacterial growth inside, thus improving its reliability.

[0077] Please see Figure 1In one embodiment, the cleaning machine 10 further includes a sterilization component 600, which is disposed on the water outlet component 300 to sterilize the water discharged from the water outlet component 300. It is understood that the sterilization component 600 includes, but is not limited to, ultraviolet sterilizers, ozone generators, electrolytic sterilizers, etc. By providing the sterilization component 600, the water discharged from the water outlet component 300 can be sterilized, ensuring that the water flowing out of the water outlet component 300 is sterile or contains few bacteria; that is, the water discharged from the cleaning machine 10 is clean and hygienic.

[0078] In one embodiment, the sterilization component 600 includes a housing and a UV lamp. The housing has a mounting cavity, and the UV lamp is disposed in the mounting cavity and forms a water passage between it and the inner wall of the housing. The water passage is connected in series with the water outlet component 300.

[0079] As is understood, a UV lamp, or ultraviolet lamp tube, kills bacteria and viruses by emitting ultraviolet light to irradiate water, thereby destroying their DNA. The sterilization component 600 includes a housing connected in series with the first pipe 310. The UV lamp is housed within the housing, and a water passage is formed between the outer wall of the UV lamp and the inner wall of the housing. Water in the first pipe 310 flows through this water passage, and the UV lamp irradiates the water within it, achieving the sterilization function. The sterilized water then flows along the first pipe 310 to the user's end for use.

[0080] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the water storage container 100 includes a first float assembly 103 and a second float assembly 104. The first float assembly 103 is disposed in the first water cavity 110 to detect the water level in the first water cavity 110; the second float assembly 104 is disposed in the second water cavity 120 to detect the water level in the second water cavity 120.

[0081] It is understood that the first water chamber 110 has a first opening, and the first float assembly 103 is located at the first opening to detect the water level in the first water chamber 110; correspondingly, the second water chamber 120 has a second opening, and the second float assembly 104 is located at the second opening to detect the water level in the second water chamber 120. The structures of the first float assembly 103 and the second float assembly 104 can be the same or different, and are not specifically limited here. In this solution, the structures of the first float assembly 103 and the second float assembly 104 are the same. The first float assembly 103 includes a float and a level gauge. The level gauge is horizontally arranged at the first opening of the first water chamber 110. One end of the float is hinged to the level gauge, and the other end of the float is rotatably arranged relative to the level gauge. When the water level in the first water chamber 110 changes, the other end of the float floats with the change in water level. The float contains a magnetic component, and the level gauge has a reed switch. The float moves the magnetic component up and down, and the reed switch continuously senses the float's position changes. When the water level in the first water chamber 110 drops, the float and magnet drop together with the liquid level, the magnet moves away from the reed switch, and the reed switch is triggered to send a signal corresponding to the water level. When the water level in the first water chamber 110 rises, the float and magnet rise together with the liquid level, the magnet approaches the reed switch, causing the reed switch to close, and sending a signal corresponding to the water level. This setup enables the detection of the water level in the first water chamber 110. Of course, the float can also achieve its monitoring or control function by combining with other components. For example, when a touch sensor, light sensor, or touch switch is installed at a certain water level, the water level can also be monitored by the up and down movement of the float.

[0082] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 In one embodiment, the water storage container 100 includes a first float assembly 103 and a second float assembly 104. The first float assembly 103 is disposed in the first water cavity 110; the second float assembly 104 is disposed in the second water cavity 120. The second float assembly 104 includes a first sub-float assembly 105 and a second sub-float assembly 106. The first sub-float assembly 105 is disposed above the second sub-float assembly 106 and spaced apart from the second sub-float assembly 106. The cleaning machine 10 also includes a control module connected to the first sub-float assembly 105 and the second sub-float assembly 106. In the washing mode, the control module is used to maintain the water level of the second water cavity 120 between the first sub-float assembly 105 and the second sub-float assembly 106 according to the water level detection signals of the first sub-float assembly 105 and the second sub-float assembly 106.

[0083] Understandably, the first float assembly 103 is used to detect the water level in the first water chamber 110, and the second float assembly 104 is used to detect the water level in the second water chamber 120. The first sub-float assembly 105 is positioned above the second sub-float assembly 106, and is used to detect the high water level in the second water chamber 120, while the second sub-float assembly 106 is used to detect the low water level in the second water chamber 120. When the washing machine 10 is in washing mode, the water outlet assembly 300 drains water to the water-using end. At this time, an external hot water source provides hot water to the first water chamber 110, and an external ambient temperature water source and / or the circulating filter assembly 400 provides ambient temperature water to the second water chamber 120.

[0084] If the water level in the second water chamber 120 causes the magnet in the first sub-float assembly 105 to approach the reed switch and engage, it indicates that the water level in the second water chamber 120 is higher than the preset high water level. At this time, both the external ambient temperature water source and the circulation filter assembly 400 stop supplying water to the second water chamber 120. If the water level in the second water chamber 120 causes the magnet in the second sub-float assembly 106 to approach the reed switch and engage, while the reed switch in the first sub-float assembly 105 does not engage, it indicates that the water level in the second water chamber 120 is between the first sub-float assembly 105 and the second sub-float assembly 106, that is, between the preset high water level and the preset low water level. At this time, the external ambient temperature water source stops supplying water to the second water chamber 120, and the control module controls the second pump 440 in the circulation filter assembly 400 to operate, and the circulation filter assembly 400 supplies water to the second water chamber 120. If the water level in the second water chamber 120 causes the reed switch in the first sub-float assembly 105 to not engage, and the reed switch in the second sub-float assembly 106 to also not engage, it indicates that the water level in the second water chamber 120 is below the second sub-float assembly 106, that is, the water level in the second water chamber 120 is below the preset low water level. At this time, both the external ambient temperature water source and the circulating filter assembly 400 supply water to the second water chamber 120.

[0085] To facilitate control of external water supply to the first water chamber 110 and the second water chamber 120, in one embodiment, the cleaning machine 10 further includes a first inlet valve and a second inlet valve. The first water chamber 110 is connected to an external hot water source through the first inlet valve, and the second water chamber 120 is connected to an external ambient temperature water source through the second inlet valve. It is understood that when the first inlet valve is open, external hot water flows through the first inlet valve into the first water chamber 110; when the first inlet valve is closed, external hot water cannot flow into the first water chamber 110. The first inlet valve acts as a switch to control the flow of hot water into the first water chamber 110. Similarly, when the second inlet valve is open, external ambient temperature water flows through the second inlet valve into the second water chamber 120; when the second inlet valve is closed, external ambient temperature water cannot flow into the second water chamber 120. The second inlet valve acts as a switch to control the flow of ambient temperature water into the second water chamber 120.

[0086] In one embodiment, the cleaning machine 10 further includes a first one-way valve and a second one-way valve. The first one-way valve is disposed on the pipeline between the first water inlet valve and the first water chamber 110, and the first one-way valve flows unidirectionally from one side of the first water inlet valve to the first water chamber 110. The second one-way valve is disposed on the pipeline between the second water inlet valve and the second water chamber 120, and the second one-way valve flows unidirectionally from one side of the second water inlet valve to the second water chamber 120. It can be understood that by setting the first one-way valve, water flowing through the first water inlet valve can only flow unidirectionally into the first water chamber 110, thereby preventing water in the first water chamber 110 from flowing back to the external hot water source, ensuring the stability and safety of the hot water flow. Similarly, by setting the second one-way valve, water flowing through the second water inlet valve can only flow unidirectionally into the second water chamber 120, thereby preventing water in the second water chamber 120 from flowing back to the external ambient temperature water source, ensuring the stability and safety of the ambient temperature water flow.

[0087] In one embodiment, the water storage container 100 includes a first water tank 130 and a second water tank 140. The first water tank 130 has a first water cavity 110, and the second water tank 140 has a second water cavity 120. The first water tank 130 and the second water tank 140 are separate structures (e.g., Figure 5 (as shown); or, the first water tank 130 and the second water tank 140 are an integral structure (as shown). Figure 1 and Figure 9 (As shown). It is understandable that when the first water tank 130 and the second water tank 140 are separate structures, it is convenient to manufacture and install them separately, and it is also convenient to maintain or clean either one. When the first water tank 130 and the second water tank 140 are an integrated structure, the water storage container 100 has a compact structure, the integrated design reduces the amount of materials used and the installation cost, and the structure is more robust.

[0088] In one embodiment, the first water tank 130 and the second water tank 140 are arranged side by side in the front-to-back direction, or the first water tank 130 and the second water tank 140 are arranged side by side in the left-to-right direction. This arrangement makes the structure of the water storage container 100 compact, facilitates the manufacture and installation of the water storage container 100, and also helps to miniaturize the cleaning machine 10.

[0089] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 9In this embodiment, the first water tank 130 and the second water tank 140 are an integral structure. The first water tank 130 has a first water outlet communicating with the first water cavity 110, and the second water tank 140 has a second water outlet communicating with the second water cavity 120. The water storage container 100 has a mounting hole, which communicates with both the first and second water outlets. The mixing valve 200 is disposed within the mounting hole. It is understood that the mounting hole can be located at the bottom of the water storage container 100 to improve the smoothness of water flow. By placing the mixing valve 200 within the mounting hole on the water storage container 100, the mixing valve 200 is integrated with the water storage container 100, reducing space occupation, making the structure of the cleaning machine 10 more compact, facilitating installation, and improving overall reliability.

[0090] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
