[0029] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only used to explain the present application and do not constitute limitation on the present application.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, in order to achieve the above-mentioned objects, the present application proposes a cleaning device for a water containing member 10, which comprises a liquid and dust adsorbing assembly arranged in the water containing member 10 for adsorbing the liquid and dust in the water containing member 10, and a processing assembly for evaporating the adsorbed liquid and collecting the adsorbed dust.

[0031] Specifically, a cleaning device for a water containing member mainly comprises an adsorbing assembly and a processing assembly.

[0032] The water containing member 10 is made of metal material, such as aluminum alloy material, alloy steel material, etc. The water containing member 10 made of metal material has the advantages of strong supporting capacity and wear resistance. Of course, according to the design needs, the water containing member 10 can also be made of plastic material. The water containing member 10 made of plastic material has the advantages of light weight, low cost and easy to manufacture.

[0033] The water containing member 10 in the present application can be provided with a drain port, or can not be provided with a drain port, which can be selected according to the specific circumstances. The water containing member 10 in the present application does not have a drain port.

[0034] The adsorbing assembly is arranged on the water containing member 10. The adsorbing assembly can adsorb the condensed water in the water containing member 10, and also can adsorb the dust in the water containing member 10. After the adsorbing assembly adsorbs the condensed water and dust in the water containing member 10, the processing assembly evaporates the adsorbed liquid and collects the adsorbed dust.

[0035] By evaporating the liquid on the water containing member 10, the overflow of the liquid in the water containing member 10 is effectively avoided, and the dust in the water containing member 10 is effectively avoided from depositing on the water containing member 10, thereby avoiding the influence of the dust on the water containing member 10.

[0036] By using the above technical solution, the dust and liquid on the water containing member 10 are adsorbed by the adsorbing assembly of the cleaning device. The adsorbed liquid is evaporated by the processing assembly, thereby avoiding the overflow of the liquid in the water containing member 10. The adsorbed dust is collected, thereby avoiding the dust from depositing in the water containing member 10. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, the adsorbing assembly comprises:

[0038] an adsorbing member 20 for adsorbing the liquid and dust in the water containing member 10; and

[0039] a driving component for driving the suction member 20 to move.

[0040] Specifically, the cleaning device comprises a suction assembly, which comprises the suction member 20 and the driving component.

[0041] The suction member 20 can be a quick-drying cloth or a sponge commonly used in the prior art, or other materials with a suction function in the prior art. Here, it is not limited one by one. In order to facilitate the suction member 20 to suck liquid and dust, the suction member 20 is arranged in a roller shape.

[0042] The driving component is used to drive the suction member 20 to move in the water container 10. The driving component can be an electromagnet or a moving motor with a guide 30.

[0043] When the driving component is an electromagnet, correspondingly, the water container 10 is made of plastic material, and the water container 10 made of plastic material can effectively avoid the influence on the electromagnet. A metal block that can interact with the electromagnet is covered in the suction member 20. The electromagnet is arranged at the bottom of the water container 10, and by moving the electromagnet, the suction member 20 is driven to move in the water container 10, so as to realize the suction of liquid and dust in the water container 10. It can be conceived that the movement of the electromagnet can be along a predetermined track, or can be random movement. In order to facilitate the cleaning of each corner in the water container 10, avoid leaving a blind area, the movement of the electromagnet is preferably along a predetermined track.

[0044] When the driving component is a moving motor with a guide 30. The guide 30 is arranged at the top of the water container 10, and the guide 30 is connected with a connecting rod 60, one end of the connecting rod 60 is connected to the suction member 20, and the connecting rod 60 can slide along the length direction of the guide 30 under the drive of the motor, so as to drive the suction member 20 connected thereto to move, at this time, the suction member 20 is in abutment with the bottom of the water container 10, under the drive of the connecting rod 60, the suction member 20 can rotate at the bottom of the water container 10, so as to better suck the liquid and dust in the water container body.

[0045] By adopting the above technical scheme, the suction assembly comprises the suction member 20 and the driving component for driving the suction member 20 to move, the driving component drives the suction member 20 to move, and the liquid and dust in the water container 10 are sucked. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, the driving component comprises:

[0047] The guide 30 is connected to the water container 10.

[0048] A driving member is connected to the guide member 30 and used to drive the suction member 20 to reciprocate along the length direction of the guide member 30.

[0049] Specifically, the driving member includes the guide member 30 and the driving member.

[0050] The guide member 30 is made of metal material, and the guide member 30 made of metal material has the advantages of strong supporting capacity and wear resistance. The driving member is connected to the guide member 30 and can reciprocate along the length direction of the guide member. One end of the connecting rod 60 is connected to the driving member, and the other end of the connecting rod 60 is connected to the suction member. Under the driving of the driving member, the connecting rod 60 reciprocates along the length direction of the guide member 30. The connecting rod 60 and the suction member 20 are in a rotating connection relationship, and the rotating connection mode is adopted to ensure that the suction member 20 can rotate relative to the water container 10.

[0051] The driving member can be a motor commonly used in the prior art. The driving member drives the suction member 20 to reciprocate along the length direction of the guide member 30, thereby achieving the circulation cleaning of the water container 10.

[0052] The above technical solution has the advantages of simple structure and easy implementation.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, the guide member 30 is arranged in an S shape.

[0054] Specifically, the guide member 30 is arranged in an S shape, so that when the driving member moves along the length direction of the guide member 30, the suction member 20 is driven to pass through each place at the bottom of the water container 10, thereby avoiding the occurrence of a suction blind area.

[0055] The above technical solution improves the accuracy of the suction of the suction member 20, and has the advantages of simple structure and easy implementation.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, the processing assembly includes:

[0057] A drying member 40 is used to dry the suction member 20; and

[0060] The drying member 40 is a drying member 40 commonly used in the prior art, which dries by heating the resistance wire, or other heating methods can be used to dry the suction member 20.

[0061] The dust suction component is a dust suction component capable of generating negative pressure, which can adsorb the dust on the suction accessory 20 after the drying piece 40 dries the suction accessory 20, and store the adsorbed dust in a designated position, which can be a dust collection bin. It is conceivable that, in order to avoid the influence of the liquid in the water containing piece 10 on the dust collection bin, the dust collection bin is always located above the liquid level in the water containing piece 10.

[0062] By adopting the above technical scheme, the liquid on the suction accessory 20 is dried and the dust on the suction accessory 20 is collected by the cooperation of the drying piece 40 and the dust suction component, so as to avoid the dust from depositing in the water containing piece 10 and affecting the water containing piece 10.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, the processing assembly is arranged at the end of the guide piece 30.

[0070] The processing assembly is arranged at the end of the guide piece 30, and the optimal solution is that the dust suction piece 51 and the power piece 52 are located at the end of the guide piece 30 and face the side wall of the suction accessory 20. The drying piece 40 is two, and the drying pieces 40 are arranged at the two ends of the suction accessory 20. Therefore, after the drying piece 40 completes the drying of the suction accessory 20, the power piece 52 can start to drive the rotation of the suction accessory 20, and the dust suction piece 51 synchronously collects the dust on the suction accessory 20.

[0071] By adopting the above technical scheme, the structure is simple and easy to implement.

The timer mainly sets a fixed cleaning time to control the operation of the cleaning device, and the water level detection mainly controls the operation of the cleaning device by detecting the height of the water level in the water containing member. The cycle timer and the water level detection member are controlled in a parallel manner, and the cleaning device can be triggered to operate as long as one of the conditions is met. The time of the cycle timer can be ten minutes, twenty minutes, etc.

[0077] By using the above technical solution, the structure is simple and easy to implement.
