Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of cleaning small household appliances, and in particular relates to a water collection detection structure and a detection method for cleaning water of a cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, due to the abundance of daily necessities, cleaning devices have been subdivided into many categories, which has brought a lot of convenience. When cleaning floors, tile floors and other ground environments, there is a cleaning device that can be used specifically for floors, tile floors and other ground environments. It combines functions such as washing and brushing, which is more convenient to use. At the same time, when using it, water can also be more economical. Usually, the full water capacity of a clean water tank can clean a space of 200 to 300 square meters.

[0003] However, in daily use, usually only the sewage tank is cleaned after one use. When it is directly cleaned the next time, it is found that no clean water is sprayed out when the cleaning is halfway through, which will reduce the cleaning effect and bring a poor user experience.

[0004] Therefore, a structure capable of detecting the capacity and water shortage of a clean water tank is needed to provide prompts for the water level and water shortage of the clean water tank. Summary of the invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention: To provide a water collection detection structure and a detection method for cleaning water used in a cleaning device, which can prompt the water capacity in a clean water tank and provide a timely reminder of water shortage.

[0006] Technical solution: A water collection detection structure for cleaning water of a cleaning device, comprising a water tank body, a capacity detection component, a water shortage detection component, a water tank outlet, a water pipe and a water unit. Among them, the capacity detection component is arranged on the water tank body. One end of the water shortage detection component is connected to the water tank outlet of the water tank body through a water pipe. The other end of the water shortage detection component is connected to the water unit.

[0007] The present invention discloses a water collection detection structure for cleaning water of a cleaning device, comprising a water tank body, a capacity detection component, a water shortage detection component, a water tank outlet, a water pipe and a water unit. The capacity detection component is used to detect the liquid capacity in the clean water tank, and the water shortage detection component is used to detect the exhaustion of water in the clean water tank during use. Through the double-layer detection of the clean water tank solution and the water outlet, the clean water tank can be effectively detected and reminded in a timely and real-time manner during use, thereby improving the user's sense of use and satisfaction.

[0008] Furthermore, in the water collection detection structure of the cleaning water of the above-mentioned cleaning device, the capacity detection component includes a floating groove, a reflective float valve, a measuring rail groove, a light sensor and a power access terminal. Among them, the floating groove is arranged in the water tank body and is located at one end of the side of the water tank body. The reflective float valve is arranged in the floating groove. The reflective float valve is provided with a light reflecting end. The measuring rail groove is arranged outside the water tank body and is located at one end close to the floating groove. The height of the measuring rail groove is the same as the height of the water tank body. The light sensor is arranged on the measuring rail groove. The power access terminal is arranged on the water tank body and is located at the top of one end close to the measuring rail groove. The power access terminal is electrically connected to the light sensor. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the capacity detection component adopts a reflective float valve and a light sensor. Through the reflective float valve, as the liquid level rises and falls, it can move up and down and reflect light to the light sensor, and the light sensor detects the capacity through the reflected light.

[0009] Furthermore, in the water collection detection structure for cleaning water of the cleaning device mentioned above, the water shortage detection component includes a detection end body, a light emitting end, a light receiving end, a water inlet and a water outlet. The detection end body is a component with an internal hollow shape. The light emitting end and the light receiving end are respectively arranged at the top of the two ends of the detection body. The water inlet and the water outlet are respectively arranged on the side of the top of the two ends of the detection body. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the water shortage detection component can make the liquid passing through the detection end body cut off the optical signal composed of the light emitting end and the light receiving end, indicating that the amount of water passing through the water shortage detection component is sufficient. When no liquid passes through the water inlet and the water outlet, the light emitting end and the light receiving end resume the propagation of the optical signal, indicating that no liquid passes through the water shortage detection component, thereby realizing real-time detection of water shortage.

[0010] Furthermore, in the water collection detection structure of the cleaning device, a plurality of light sensors are evenly distributed on the measuring track groove. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of light sensors for measuring capacity are provided on the measuring track groove, at least two, and the function of providing a plurality of light sensors can effectively divide the capacity into percentages, so that the capacity change can be effectively detected, while improving the detection effect.

[0011] Furthermore, in the water collection detection structure of the cleaning device, the side wall of the floating groove is a fine mesh structure. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the floating groove is used to reflect the floating valve to move up and down with the rise and fall of the liquid level. The side wall of the floating groove with the fine mesh structure can effectively prevent the liquid entering the clean water tank from containing impurities, thereby affecting the movement of the transmitting float valve.

[0012] Furthermore, in the water collection detection structure of the cleaning device, the light sensor is an infrared sensor. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the infrared sensor is used as the light sensor, which is not only stable but also can reduce costs.

[0013] Furthermore, in the water collection detection structure of the cleaning device, the detection end body is a hollow rectangular member. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the detection end body adopts a rectangular structure and is hollow inside, which is convenient for water flow and installation of the light emitting end and the light receiving end.

[0014] Furthermore, in the water collection detection structure of the cleaning device, the detection end body is a hollow rectangular parallelepiped with a bend in the middle. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the hollow rectangular parallelepiped with a bend in the middle is used, which is not easily blocked by impurities during use.

[0015] Furthermore, in the water collection detection structure of the cleaning device, the light emitting end is an infrared emitting end, and the light receiving end is an infrared receiving end. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting end and the light receiving end use infrared devices to make the light more stable and reduce the cost.

[0016] In addition, the present invention also provides a detection method for a water collection detection structure of cleaning water of a cleaning device, comprising the following steps:

[0017] 1) When the clean water tank containing the above-mentioned water collection detection structure is filled with water, the reflective float valve can be lifted as the liquid level rises;

[0018] 2) The lifted reflective float valve can reflect the light from the light sensor back to the light sensor when passing through the light sensor;

[0019] 3) The light sensor can provide feedback after receiving the reflected light, and can provide capacity feedback according to the location of the light sensor;

[0020] 4) When the cleaning device is in use, as the liquid level drops, the reflective float valve drops along with the liquid level;

[0021] 5) After the reflection float valve drops, it feeds back the light emitted by the light sensor when passing through the light sensor, so that the light sensor can provide feedback on the decrease in capacity;

[0022] 6) When the liquid in the clean water tank is discharged through the water pipe and the water shortage detection component, the liquid blocks the propagation of the optical signal composed of the light emitting end and the light receiving end in the detection end body, and a signal prompt of water is obtained;

[0023] 7) When the liquid in the clean water tank is used up and no water passes through the water shortage detection component, the liquid cannot block the propagation of the optical signal composed of the light emitting end and the light receiving end in the detection end body, and the signal of the optical signal connection is regained to obtain a water shortage signal prompt.

[0024] It can be seen from the above technical scheme that the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the present invention discloses a water collection detection structure for cleaning water of a cleaning device, comprising a water tank body, a capacity detection component, a water shortage detection component, a water tank outlet, a water pipe and a water unit. Among them, the capacity detection component is used to detect the liquid capacity in the clean water tank, and the water shortage detection component is used to detect the depletion of water in the clean water tank during use. Through the double-layer detection of the clean water tank solution and the water outlet, the clean water tank can be effectively detected and reminded in a timely and real-time manner during use, thereby improving the user's sense of use and satisfaction.
