[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. Additionally, it should be noted that for the sake of description, only parts related to the present invention rather than all structures are shown in the drawings.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "connected", "connected to", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0023] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may include the direct contact between the first and second features, or may include the situation where the first and second features are not in direct contact but in contact through other features between them. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over", and "on top of" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The first feature being "below", "beneath", and "underneath" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or merely indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is lower than that of the second feature.

[0024] In the description of this embodiment, the orientation or positional relationships such as "above", "below", "right", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplifying the operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0025] Combined with Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a cleaning device for a motorhome. The cleaning device for the motorhome consists of a cleaning rack 1 installed inside the vehicle, a water tank 2 arranged inside the cleaning rack 1, a swivel faucet 3 installed on one side of the water tank 2, and a greywater separation structure 4 arranged inside the water tank 2. Preferably, the greywater separation structure 4 in this embodiment is arranged inside the water tank 2 and the greywater separation structure 4 is lower than the upper edge of the water tank 2. During the cleaning process, the water outlet of the swivel faucet 3 can be adjusted above the greywater separation structure 4 to clean relatively clean items such as fruits and vegetables. Then, the filtered greywater flows out through the water guide cavity and the greywater drain port arranged in the greywater separation structure 4 and flows into the on-vehicle greywater tank for recycling and reuse; while the greywater flowing into the water tank 2 from the greywater separation structure 4 can flow out through the greywater drain port 21 arranged inside the water tank 2 and into the on-vehicle greywater tank for recycling and reuse. This avoids the occurrence of waste of on-vehicle water caused by the ineffective separation of greywater and greywater.

[0026] Specifically, preferably, the greywater separation structure 4 in this embodiment includes a water guide platform 41 arranged along the side wall of the water tank 2, a water guide cavity 42 arranged on the water guide platform 41, a filter plate 43 covering the water guide cavity 42, and a water baffle 44 inserted into the water guide cavity 42. Among them, the water guide cavity 42 is opened in the middle of the water guide platform 41, and the water on the surface of the water guide platform 41 flows into the water guide cavity 42 and the water tank 2 after passing through the filter plate 43; more preferably, both the water guide platform 41 and the filter plate 43 in this embodiment are inclined, and their inclination directions are different, that is, the water guide platform 41 is inclined towards the side wall of the water tank 2, and the filter plate 43 is inclined towards the middle of the water tank 2. In this way, it can be ensured that after the sewage generated during the cleaning process splashes onto the surface of the water guide platform 41, the sewage quickly flows towards the filter plate 43 by using the side wall of the water tank 2. Then, the greywater after passing through the filter plate 43 flows into the water tank 2, and the greywater generated during the filtering process flows into the water guide cavity 42.

[0027] More specifically, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the filter plate 43 and the cleaning of the water guide cavity 42, preferably, an opening 421 is arranged on one side of the water guide cavity 42 facing the greywater drain port 21 in the water tank 2, and a detachable water baffle 44 is arranged at the opening 421. In order to further facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the water baffle 44, positioning sliding grooves 424 are respectively arranged on the opposite side walls of the opening 421, and both ends of the water baffle 44 are inserted into the positioning sliding grooves and are slidably matched with the positioning sliding grooves 424. When it is necessary to clean the water guide cavity 42, only need to remove the filter plate 43 and pull out the water baffle 44 from the positioning sliding grooves 424, then the inside of the water guide cavity 42 and the filter plate 43 can be flushed through the swivel faucet 3. The flushing sewage is directly discharged into the water tank 2 through the opening 421, and then discharged out through the greywater drain port 21.

[0028] Further, for the convenience of installing the filter plate 43 in this embodiment, a step 423 for covering the filter plate 43 is provided on the periphery of the water guide cavity 42. The step 423 cooperates with the edges around the filter plate 43, and the filter plate 43 covering the upper part of the water guide cavity 42 is clamped with the upper end of the water baffle 44 to prevent the filter plate 43 from sliding obliquely downward.

[0029] Further, to prevent the gray water cleaned out from the water guide cavity 42 from flowing into the intermediate water drain port 422 when flushing the water guide cavity 42, as a preference, in this embodiment, a pipe orifice cover 45 is hinged at the pipe orifice of the intermediate water drain port 422. The pipe orifice cover 45 is provided with a limiting device for restricting the opening angle of the pipe orifice cover 45. The limiting device makes the maximum opening angle between the pipe orifice cover 45 and the pipe orifice end face of the intermediate water drain port 422 less than 90 degrees. In this embodiment, the limiting device for the pipe orifice cover 45 can be designed by setting a limiting protrusion 46 on the hinged side of the pipe orifice cover 45, that is, the flipping angle of the pipe orifice cover 45 is restricted by the limiting protrusion 46. In this way, when flushing the water guide cavity 42, the pipe orifice cover 45 can automatically seal the pipe orifice. The specific structural design of the limiting device is relatively common in related technologies and will not be specifically described here.

[0030] In addition, an insertion bar 441 is integrally provided on the inner side wall of the water baffle 44. When the insertion bar 441 is inserted into the intermediate water drain port 422, the pipe orifice cover 45 is in an open state. That is, when the filter plate 43 is in normal use, the insertion bar 441 is inserted into the intermediate water drain port 422, and the intermediate water drain port 422 can normally discharge intermediate water to prevent the user from covering the intermediate water drain port 422 with the pipe orifice cover 45 when installing the water baffle 44 and the filter plate 43 after cleaning;

[0031] On the contrary, when the water baffle 44 and the filter plate 43 are removed, under the action of the limiting device of the pipe orifice cover 45, the pipe orifice cover 45 will automatically cover the pipe orifice of the intermediate water drain port 422 under the action of gravity, thereby preventing the gray water for flushing the water guide cavity 42 from flowing into the intermediate water drain port 422.

[0032] In addition, the filter plate 43 in this embodiment can be integrally provided in a way that the filter holes are evenly distributed on the surface, or according to the filtering requirements, a filter net can be set at the same time to further improve the filtering accuracy. As a preference, the filter plate 43 in this embodiment is preferably made of materials such as stainless steel microporous filter membranes or foam pore titanium alloys.

[0033] In addition, in order to facilitate cleaning items at two different positions inside the sink 2 or above the water guide table 41, the faucet in this embodiment uses a swivel faucet 3, and the water outlet of the swivel faucet 3 can be adjusted above the filter plate 43 and above the sink 2 where the gray water drain port 21 is located.

[0034] The technical principle of the present invention has been described above in conjunction with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the present invention and cannot be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present invention in any way. Based on the explanations herein, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts, and these embodiments will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
