[0043] This application provides a sewage tank, which will be described in detail below. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, the descriptions of each embodiment have their own emphasis; parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment can be referred to in the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0044] First Embodiment

[0045] This embodiment provides a sewage tank 100. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 9 It mainly includes a cover 110, a body 120, a separation component 130, a sewage discharge channel 140, and a sewage inlet channel 150.

[0046] The lid 110 is affixed to the box body 120, with the lid 110 facing upwards relative to the box body 120, and the box body 120 facing downwards relative to the lid 110. A soft rubber seal is provided at the mating point between the lid 110 and the box body 120, and the lid 110 and the box body 120 are mated by the interference fit provided by the soft rubber seal. The user can remove the lid 110 to manually clean the box body 120. It should be understood that the lid and the box body can also be mated by a fixed connection, or the lid and the box body can be integrally formed; this application does not limit the mating method of the lid and the box body.

[0047] The tank 120 has a hollow structure, and a receiving cavity 121 for containing dirty liquid is formed inside the tank 120. The wastewater tank 100 is also provided with an air extraction channel 160, which includes an air extraction inlet 161 provided on the tank cover 110. The air extraction channel 160 is used for fluid communication with the vacuum assembly. During the cleaning of the surface to be cleaned, air is extracted from the air extraction inlet 161, thereby creating a negative pressure in the receiving cavity 121 of the tank 120 to suck up the external dirty liquid. Preferably, as Figure 4 As shown, two air extraction inlets 161 are provided, respectively located on both sides of the upper part of the separation component 130.

[0048] The separation assembly 130 extends downward from the cover 110, and its upper end is fixedly connected to the cover 110 by screws or other connecting devices. When the user needs to clean the separation assembly 130 separately, the connecting device can be disassembled to separate the separation assembly 130 from the cover 110. It should be understood that the separation assembly can also be integrally formed with the cover 110.

[0049] like Figure 8 As shown, the separation component 130 extends downward to the lower wall of the housing 120, and the lower end of the separation component 130 can directly abut against the lower wall of the housing 120. Alternatively, a soft rubber seal can be provided between the lower end of the separation component 130 and the lower wall of the housing 120 to further improve the separation effect of the separation component. Thus, the separation component 130 divides the receiving cavity of the housing 120 into at least a first cavity 210 and a second cavity 220. The second cavity 220 generally surrounds the first cavity 210, and the lower wall of the housing 120 at least partially defines the first cavity 210, that is, the lower wall of the housing 120 forms at least a partial boundary of the first cavity 210. Figures 6 to 8 As shown, when observing the separation assembly 130 in a cross-section perpendicular to the vertical direction, it can be seen that the separation assembly 130 is roughly D-shaped, that is, the overall shape of the separation assembly 130 is roughly a D-shaped cylinder with an open bottom. The D-shaped cylindrical separation assembly 130 includes a flat portion 131 and an arc-shaped portion 132. The flat portion 131 is close to and abuts against the side wall of the housing 120 extending in the vertical direction, while the arc-shaped portion 132 is basically not in contact with the side wall of the housing 120.

[0050] The separation component 130 includes at least a first segment 133, a second segment 134, and a third segment 135 along the vertical direction. The third segment 135 is located at the bottom of the separation component 130, and the bottom end of the separation component 130 is the bottom end of the third segment 135. The first segment 133 and the second segment 135 are perforated structures, while the second segment 134 is a closed structure. The perforated structure allows for fluid communication between the first and second cavities. In this application, communication generally refers to direct communication between two spaces or channels, where solids, liquids, and gases can flow between each other. Fluid communication generally refers to the flow of liquids and gases between two spaces or channels, while solids cannot flow between them. That is, the separation component can restrict solid waste from entering the second cavity 220 from the first cavity 210. Specifically, the perforated structure can be in the form of honeycomb holes, such as... Figure 6The third segment, 135, is shown. The diameter of the honeycomb holes is not less than 0.3 mm and not more than 3 mm. The honeycomb holes can also be other shapes, such as equilateral triangles, regular hexagons, etc. The perforated structure can also be completely perforated except for the frame, and then fluid communication between the first and second cavities is achieved by attaching a metal filter mesh to the completely perforated area, such as... Figure 6 The first section 133 is shown. Similarly, the metal filter screen adopts a honeycomb structure with a diameter of not less than 0.3 mm and not more than 2 mm. Likewise, the honeycomb holes on the metal filter screen can also be equilateral triangles, regular hexagons, or other shapes. The perforated structure is not limited to the two implementation methods mentioned above; any method that allows fluid communication while preventing solid communication is within the scope of protection of this application. The aforementioned solids refer to solids in a macroscopic sense; tiny particles whose dimensions in three-dimensional space are all smaller than the outer diameter of the honeycomb hole are not considered solids in this application. Similarly, the aforementioned separation component and the lower wall of the housing directly or indirectly abut against each other. This can be a seamless contact between the separation component and the housing, or it can have a tiny gap, as long as the aforementioned solid waste can be kept in the first cavity, i.e., unable to enter the second cavity from the first cavity, it is also within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 3a and 3b As shown, the sewage tank 100 also includes a sewage inlet channel 150 disposed on the side wall of the sewage tank. The sewage inlet channel 150 is integrally formed with the sewage tank body 120, constituting part of the side wall of the tank body. The sewage inlet channel 150 includes an opening at the bottom of the sewage tank and a sewage inlet 151 at the other end of the sewage inlet channel 150. The sewage inlet 151 is directly connected to the first cavity 210. Dirty liquid entering through the opening at the bottom of the sewage tank flows through the sewage inlet channel to the sewage inlet 151, and then enters the first cavity 210 of the sewage tank through the sewage inlet 151. Figure 8 The wastewater tank 100 also includes a discharge channel 140 arranged parallel to the inlet channel 150 on its side wall. The discharge channel 140 is integrally formed with the wastewater tank body 120, constituting part of the side wall of the tank body. The discharge channel 140 includes a discharge inlet 141 directly communicating with the receiving cavity 121 and a discharge outlet located at the other end of the discharge channel. In order to discharge solid waste in the first cavity 210 into the wastewater tank through the discharge channel 140, the discharge inlet 141 is at least partially directly connected to the first cavity 210. Preferably, the discharge inlet 141 is completely connected to the first cavity 210. It should be understood that the discharge channel can also be located on the lower wall of the wastewater tank. When the discharge channel is opened, the dirty liquid in the wastewater tank, including the solid waste in the first cavity and the liquid in the second cavity, can be discharged downwards from the wastewater tank by its own weight.

[0052] By connecting the sewage inlet to the first chamber, dirty liquid entering the sewage tank enters the first chamber. Under the separation action of the separation component, liquid and gas can flow from the first chamber to the second chamber, while solid waste is confined within the first chamber. Thus, the separation component prevents solid waste from entering the second chamber from the first chamber. By connecting the sewage inlet at least partially to the first chamber, when the sewage tank is discharged, solid waste in the first chamber can directly enter the discharge channel, making it easier for solid waste to be discharged. Furthermore, when the sewage tank stores dirty liquid, confining solid waste within the first chamber and restricting its flow into the second chamber ensures that solid waste does not adhere to the side walls of the sewage tank, making cleaning the sewage tank easier for users.

[0053] Preferably, the soft rubber seal between the lower end of the separation component 130 and the lower wall of the housing 120 is a one-way sealing ring (not shown). The one-way sealing ring allows fluid to enter the first chamber 210 from the second chamber 220, but does not allow fluid to enter the second chamber 220 from the first chamber 210. In this way, some fine particles that enter the second chamber 220 with the fluid will deposit below the second chamber 220. When the sewage tank is discharged, the one-way sealing ring allows these deposited fine particles to quickly enter the first chamber 210 from the second chamber 220, and then be discharged from the sewage tank through the discharge channel 140, thereby making the sewage tank discharge more thorough. To further improve the discharge effect, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the lower part of the tank 120 protrudes downwards. This design makes it easier for the sewage inlet 141 to connect with the first cavity 210, and the bottom of the sewage tank has a certain effect on the accumulation of solid waste.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5a As shown, the wastewater tank also includes a water level detection component 170 extending downwards from the tank cover 110. The water level detection component 170 is disposed on both sides of the separation component 130 and located within the second cavity 220. In the vertical direction, the water level detection component 170 extends to the middle of the first section 133. When the dirty liquid in the containing cavity rises to the position indicated by the water level detection component 170, the water level detection component 170 will output a corresponding signal to the external control device.

[0055] Second Embodiment

[0056] like Figure 10a and Figure 10bAs shown, in the second embodiment, the difference from the first embodiment lies in the cross-section observed perpendicular to the vertical direction. It can be seen that the separation component is roughly C-shaped. That is, compared to the first embodiment, the separation component 130' in the second embodiment is generally C-shaped. The two sides of the C-shaped cylindrical separation component 130' are sealed together by a soft rubber sealing strip and the side wall of the sewage tank. Compared to the first embodiment, the separation component 130' in the second embodiment has a simpler structure and lower manufacturing cost.

[0057] This application also provides a cleaning device 300 having the aforementioned wastewater tank, such as... Figure 11 As shown. The cleaning device includes a handle assembly 310, a body 320, and a cleaning component 330. The handle assembly 310 is for the user to hold and operate the cleaning device. A vacuum component (not shown) is installed inside the body 320. The vacuum component is fluidly connected to the aforementioned wastewater tank 100. When the vacuum component is working, it provides suction force to create a negative pressure in the receiving cavity of the wastewater tank 100 through the suction channel. The cleaning component 330 is connected to the aforementioned wastewater tank 100 and is used to perform wet cleaning on the surface to be cleaned. After cleaning, the negative pressure formed in the receiving cavity draws the dirty liquid generated on the surface to be cleaned into the receiving cavity through the suction channel.

[0058] This application also provides a cleaning system 400 having the above-mentioned cleaning equipment, such as Figure 12 As shown. The cleaning system 400 includes the aforementioned cleaning device 300 and a base station 410. The base station 410 provides a docking point for the cleaning device 300 to perform operations such as charging, water filling, and sewage discharge. A suction assembly (not shown) is installed inside the base station 410, which is connected to the sewage discharge channel of the sewage tank. When the suction assembly is working, it provides suction force to draw the dirty liquid in the sewage tank through the sewage discharge channel to the base station 410, where it is either stored or discharged to the outside.

[0059] In the cleaning system, when the cleaning equipment 300 cleans the floor, the suction force is provided by the vacuum component that connects to the air extraction channel. Since the air extraction inlet connects to the second chamber and the sewage inlet connects to the first chamber, the flow direction of the fluid in the sewage tank is from the first chamber to the second chamber. During this flow, some solid waste will adhere to the inner wall of the separation component under the influence of the flow force. When the cleaning equipment 300 is docked at the base station 410 and the base station 410 discharges sewage, the suction force is provided by the suction component that connects to the sewage tank discharge channel within the base station 410. Since the suction component connects to the discharge channel, and the discharge inlet of the discharge channel connects to the first chamber, the flow direction of the fluid in the sewage tank is from the second chamber to the first chamber. During this process, some solid waste adhering to the inner wall of the separation component will be washed away, then detached from the inner wall of the separation component, and subsequently discharged from the sewage tank along with the solid waste in the first chamber.

[0060] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent structural transformations or substitutions made based on the inventive concept of this application and the content of the description and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
