[0057] Embodiment 1

[0058] In order to solve the problem that the existing water storage box detects the liquid level of the water storage box through the cooperation of a float and a reed switch, it can only determine whether the water level has reached a preset value, but cannot detect the liquid level in the water storage box in real time, so that the user cannot intuitively know the water inflow situation of the water storage box, which is quite inconvenient.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a water storage box, which includes a box body 1, a plug-in tube 5, a water pipe 6 and a water level detection mechanism, which can detect the liquid level in the box body 1 in real time. The box body 1 is provided with an air hole 21, and a waterproof air-permeable membrane 3 is fixed in the air hole 21, so that the inside of the box body 1 can be connected with the outside atmosphere, so that liquid can flow into or out of the box body 1, and the liquid in the box body 1 will not leak from the air hole 21 to the outside of the box body 1.

[0060] A water hole is provided on the box body 1, and the water pipe 6 is located inside the box body 1 and connected to the plug-in tube 5. The plug-in tube 5 is fixed in the water hole, and one end of the plug-in tube 5 is located outside the box body 1, so that the plug-in tube 5 can be connected to an external water supply device or a water-using device, or by designing the shape of the interface of the external water supply device and the water-using device, the plug-in tube 5 is adapted to the external water supply device and the water-using device at the same time, and the liquid can flow into or out of the box body 1 through the plug-in tube 5 and the water pipe 6.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water pipe 6 and the plug pipe 5 can be arranged on the side of the box body 1, so that when the water storage box is placed in a non-parallel state, the water in the box body 1 can flow to the water-using equipment by gravity through the water pipe 6 and the plug pipe 5. The water pipe 6 and the plug pipe 5 can also be arranged at the bottom of the box body 1, so that when the water storage box is placed in a parallel state, the water in the box body 1 can flow to the water-using equipment by gravity through the water pipe 6 and the plug pipe 5. Of course, a water pump can also be added to the box body 1, so that when the water storage box is placed in a parallel or non-parallel state, the water in the box body 1 can flow to the water-using equipment.

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water level detection mechanism includes a sensing member, a pivot 72, a float 73 and a magnetic member fixed on the float 73. The pivot 72 is arranged perpendicular to the lifting direction of the liquid level and fixed on the box body 1. The magnetic member and the float 73 are rotatably connected to the pivot 72. In this embodiment, the magnetic member is a magnet 74. The end of the float 73 away from the pivot 72 is tilted downward, and in the initial state, the initial state is a state where there is no liquid in the box body 1. The end of the float 73 away from the pivot 72 is in contact with the bottom wall of the box body. As the liquid level in the box body 1 changes, the float 73 can drive the magnetic member to rotate around the pivot 72 as the center.

[0063] The sensing element is fixed on the top wall of the box body 1, and the magnetic element is always within the sensing range of the sensing element. The sensing element can detect the rotation angle of the magnetic element, and calculate the liquid level in the box body 1 according to the rotation angle of the magnetic element. The sensing element is connected to the user processing terminal through a wireless signal, and the liquid level information in the box body 1 is transmitted to the user processing terminal. In this embodiment, the sensing element adopts a 3D Hall sensor 71, which can realize accurate 3D sensing and angle measurement of magnetic fields in the X, Y, and Z directions, and has low power consumption.

[0064] When the water storage box is in a parallel position and the liquid level in the box body 1 changes, the sensor measures the rotation angle of the magnetic part, calculates the liquid level in the box body 1 based on the rotation angle of the magnetic part, and sends the real-time liquid level information to the user processing terminal, so that the user can know the water inflow situation of the water storage box more intuitively.

[0065] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, further, the box body 1 also includes a box cover 2 and a sealing ring 4 sleeved on the box cover 2, the air vent 21 is provided on the box cover 2, and a water inlet 101 for the box cover 2 to be engaged is provided on the top wall of the box body 1, and the box cover 2 is engaged in the water inlet 101 to achieve a detachable connection between the box body 1 and the box cover 2. The sealing ring 4 is pressed against the inner wall of the water inlet 101, and the possibility of the liquid in the box body 1 leaking in the gap between the box body 1 and the box cover 2 can be reduced by the sealing ring 4. Of course, one end of the box body 1 can also be hinged on the box body 1, and the water inlet 101 can be opened or closed by rotating the box cover 2.

[0066] By opening the water inlet 101, water can be supplied to the water storage box manually, which adds a way to supply water to the water storage box. In addition, the water inlet 101 is provided to facilitate cleaning the inside of the box body 1 and quickly emptying the water in the water storage box.

[0067] The water storage box in this embodiment can be used in a surface cleaning device with a self-moving function, such as a sweeping and mopping robot, to detect the water level in the water storage box in real time, and issue a water replenishment command in time when the liquid level reaches the preset water replenishment level, and issue a water replenishment stop command in time during the water replenishment process. It can be used in a handheld surface cleaning device, such as a handheld floor scrubber, to detect the liquid level in the box body 1 in real time when replenishing the water storage box. Or it can be used as a water storage device in a production system that requires real-time monitoring of the water level, such as a water storage box in a water production system such as industrial cooling water, power plant process water, and pharmaceutical water, so as to implement monitoring and feedback of the water volume so that the production system can operate normally.

[0068] Embodiment 2

[0069] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, this embodiment also discloses a cleaning device, which includes a washing device, a surface cleaning device and a base. The washing device can be a washing machine, a dishwasher and other devices with a washing function, and the surface cleaning device can be a handheld floor scrubber, an autonomous floor scrubber and other devices that can clean the ground, a desktop or other objects. In this embodiment, the washing device is described by taking a washing machine as an example, and the surface cleaning device is described by taking a handheld floor scrubber as an example. The washing device and the surface cleaning device are integrated through the base, so that the washing device can not only have a cleaning function, but also can replenish water for the surface cleaning device, give full play to the function of the washing device, improve the automation of the surface cleaning device, facilitate user use, and improve user experience.

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, the handheld floor scrubber includes a push handle, a water storage box, a sewage tank, a detergent box, a vacuum motor, a roller brush, a motor, a battery pack and a charging stand. The clean water in the water storage box is combined with the detergent and flows to the roller brush. The motor drives the roller brush to separate the dirt from the ground. The vacuum motor vacuums the sewage tank and returns the sewage on the ground to the sewage tank through the sewage suction pipe to achieve floor cleaning. Specifically, the water storage box is the water storage box disclosed in Example 1. The sensor of the water storage box is connected to the controller of the washing machine through a wireless signal. The liquid level information in the water storage box can be displayed through the operation panel of the washing machine. When the washing machine replenishes the water storage box, the user can know the water replenishment status of the water storage box more intuitively.

[0071] Furthermore, the handheld floor scrubber also includes a displacement sensor (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the controller of the washing machine via a wireless signal, and the displacement sensor can measure and feedback the moving route of the handheld floor scrubber. The controller of the washing machine is connected to the user processing terminal via a wireless signal, and various data of the washing machine, the liquid level information in the water storage box, and the moving route of the handheld floor scrubber can be transmitted to the user processing terminal.

[0072] During use, the liquid level changes and movement trajectory of the handheld floor scrubber are transmitted to the washing machine's controller each time the floor is cleaned. The washing machine's controller then transmits the information to the user processing terminal, which calculates and analyzes a large amount of data to calculate the cleaning area, the time and water consumption for each cleaning, and adjusts and controls the water intake of the water storage box based on the calculation and analysis results. This allows the water intake of the water storage box to better adapt to the water consumption for one cleaning, thereby reducing the situation where there is a lot of remaining water in the water storage box after cleaning, and the user directly pours out the water to waste water resources, or reduces the possibility of retaining the remaining water in the water storage box and breeding bacteria after a long storage time.

[0073] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the base includes a box frame 81, a drawer 82, a water supply pipe 83 and a water supply valve 84 installed on the water supply pipe 83. The water supply valve 84 can control the on and off of the water supply pipe 83. The drawer 82 is slidably installed in the box frame 81 through a guide rail (not shown in the figure). The washing machine is placed on the box frame 81, which can reduce the floor space of the cleaning device. One end of the water supply pipe 83 is connected to the washing machine, and the other end of the water supply pipe 83 passes through the box frame 81 and extends into the drawer 82. One end of the water supply pipe 83 located in the box is connected to an interface (not shown in the figure) that matches the plug-in pipe 5 of the water storage box. The water storage box is placed in the drawer 82 and the plug-in pipe 5 is plugged into the interface, so that the water storage box is connected to the washing machine.

[0074] When the washing machine is started, water can be poured into the water storage box. After the water storage box is filled with water, the user installs the water storage box on the handheld floor scrubber for use. During the water filling process, the user can obtain real-time information about the liquid level in the water storage box through the operation panel of the washing machine or the user processing terminal. Moreover, compared with manually filling the water storage box, filling water through the washing machine can reduce the user's operation steps, improve the user experience, and the water filling efficiency is also higher.

[0075] Furthermore, the base also includes a folder, which includes a first arm 85 and a second arm 86 hinged on the first arm 85, and the water supply pipe 83 is arranged along the first arm 85 and the second arm 86 and fixed to the first arm 85 and the second arm 86 by buckles. By guiding and restraining the water supply pipe 83 by the folder, the possibility of the water supply pipe 83 affecting the drawing and pulling of the drawer 82 can be reduced, and the wear of the water supply pipe 83 can be reduced, thereby extending the service life of the water supply pipe 83.

[0076] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the washing machine includes a housing 91, a washing tub 92, a water storage tank 93, a water inlet pipe 94, a drain pipe 96 and a water supply mechanism. The washing tub 92 is installed in the housing 91. One end of the water inlet pipe 94 is connected to the washing tub 92, and the other end of the water inlet pipe 94 is connected to an external tap water source. Clean water can be supplied to the washing tub 92 through the water inlet pipe 94 to wash the clothes. A drain pump 97 is installed on the drain pipe 96. One end of the drain pipe 96 is connected to the washing tub 92, and the other end of the drain pipe 96 is connected to the sewer system. During normal use of the washing machine, the water in the washing tub 92 can be discharged through the drain pump 97.

[0077] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the water storage tank 93 is connected to the washing drum 92 through a water storage pipe, and a water storage valve 99 is installed on the water storage pipe. When the water storage valve 99 is opened, the rinsing water in the washing drum 92 can be discharged into the water storage tank 93 for storage. The water supply mechanism can supply the rinsing water in the water storage tank 93 to the water storage box for use, thereby improving the utilization rate of water resources.

[0078] The water supply mechanism includes a circulation pipe 951 and a circulation pump 952 installed on the circulation pipe 951. One end of the circulation pipe 951 is connected to the water tank 93, and the other end of the circulation pipe 951 is connected to the water supply pipe 83. By opening the water storage valve 99, the water supply valve 84, and starting the circulation pump 952, the water in the water tank 93 can be supplied to the water storage box.

[0079] like Figure 8 As shown, further, the water supply mechanism also includes a water supply pipe 953 and a three-way valve 954. The three-way valve 954 is used to connect the tap water source, the water supply pipe 953 and the water inlet pipe 94. One end of the water supply pipe 953 away from the three-way valve 954 is connected to the water replenishment pipe 83. When the water storage box needs to be replenished with water, the valve port of the three-way valve 954 connected to the water supply pipe 953 can be opened, and the valve port connected to the water inlet pipe 94 can be closed, and the water replenishment valve 84 can be opened to directly introduce tap water into the water storage box for water replenishment, so that the user can use clean water to mop the floor.

[0080] Furthermore, a filter 98 is installed on the circulation pipe 951, and the possibility of debris such as lint in the rinse water entering the water supply pipe 83 or the water storage box can be reduced through the filter 98, thereby reducing the possibility of clogging the water supply pipe 83 or the plug-in pipe 5 of the water storage box, making water supply smoother. A filter 98 can also be installed on the drain pipe 96, which can reduce the possibility of debris clogging the drain pipe 96 or the drainage system, making the drainage of the washing machine smoother.

[0081] By integrating the washing machine, the handheld floor scrubber and the base, the cleaning device can have both the washing function of the washing machine and the floor scrubbing function of the handheld floor scrubber, and can also replenish water for the handheld floor scrubber. On the one hand, the capacity of the washing machine can be fully utilized, and on the other hand, the automation degree of the handheld floor scrubber can be improved, making it more convenient for users to use.

[0082] By connecting the valves and pumps of the washing machine and the base to the controller of the washing machine, and the controller of the washing machine to the user processing terminal, the user processing terminal calculates and analyzes the liquid level change and movement trajectory information of the handheld floor scrubber each time it cleans the floor, and controls the circulation pump 952, the three-way valve 954 and the water replenishment valve 84 to adjust the water inflow of the water storage box according to the calculation and analysis results. The water inflow of the water storage box can be better adapted to the water consumption of one cleaning, thereby reducing the situation where there is a lot of residual water in the water storage box after cleaning, and the user directly pours out the water to waste water resources, or reduces the possibility of breeding bacteria after the residual water is stored in the water storage box for a long time.
