Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, and more particularly, to a sewage tank and a cleaning device. Background Art
[0002] Currently, a floor washer sucks the sewage on the ground into the sewage tank to achieve the purpose of cleaning. Therefore, a liquid level detection and alarm system needs to be set in the sewage tank. When the volume of the sewage tank reaches the designed volume, the body liquid level alarm is triggered to prevent sewage overflow.
[0003] In related technologies, the water full alarm system in the sewage tank mainly includes a float type and an electrode plate resistance measurement type. In the float type, a float is set in the sewage tank. When the liquid level rises, the float rises and blocks the air duct above the float, thereby triggering the fan stall protection to stop the machine. In this solution, foam, a liquid that is easily carried away by air flow, may be generated during the process of sucking sewage, which will affect the float type liquid level alarm system because the foam cannot float the float. Therefore, the float type liquid level detection system will alarm too late in a foamy environment, resulting in water spraying, and at the same time, the volume and noise will also increase. For the electrode plate resistance measurement, two electrode plates are added near the liquid level at the designed volume in the sewage tank. When the liquid level submerges the electrode plates at the same time, the two electrode plates are conducted. When the resistance between the two is low to the threshold value, the alarm stop signal can be triggered. However, after the electrode bracket extending into the sewage tank adheres to the sewage with high conductivity, a conductive circuit may be formed in the upper part of the sewage tank, resulting in the problem that the floor washer alarms prematurely or even cannot be started. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

The sewage on the ground to be cleaned enters the receiving cavity through the inlet channel along with the airflow, and the airflow is discharged from the tank body through the air outlet. Among them, the ultrasonic detection component is arranged in the receiving cavity to detect the liquid level in the receiving cavity and provide a water-full alarm function.

Detailed implementation manners
[0071] In order to be able to more clearly understand the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific implementation manners. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0072] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may be practiced in other ways than those specifically described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0073] Reference is hereinafter made Figures 1 to 18 to a sewage tank 1 and a cleaning device according to some embodiments of the present invention.
[0074] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a sewage tank 1 is provided, including: a tank body 10, an ultrasonic detection member 11, a first electrode member 12, and a second electrode member 13.
[0075] Specifically, an inlet passage 100 and a receiving cavity 101 are provided in the tank body 10. The tank body 10 is provided with an air outlet 102. The receiving cavity 101 communicates with the inlet passage 100 and the air outlet 102. The ultrasonic detection member 11 is located at a first alarm liquid level in the receiving cavity 101 for detecting the liquid level in the receiving cavity 101. The first electrode member 12 and the second electrode member 13. The first electrode member 12 is located at a second alarm liquid level in the receiving cavity 101. The liquid level value of the second alarm liquid level is greater than the liquid level value of the first alarm liquid level. The second electrode member 13 is provided in the receiving cavity 101 and is spaced apart from the first electrode member 12. The first electrode member 12 and the second electrode member 13 can be conducted by the medium in the receiving cavity 101 to form a loop.
[0076] The sewage tank 1 provided by the present invention includes a tank body 10, an ultrasonic detection member 11, a first electrode member 12, and a second electrode member 13. An inlet channel 100 and a receiving cavity 101 are arranged in the tank body 10, and an air outlet 102 is arranged on the tank body 10. The sewage on the ground to be cleaned enters the receiving cavity 101 through the inlet channel 100 along with the air flow, and the air flow is discharged from the tank body 10 through the air outlet 102. Among them, the ultrasonic detection member 11 is arranged in the receiving cavity 101 to detect the liquid level in the receiving cavity 101 and provide a water-full alarm function. The detection principle of the ultrasonic detection member 11 is not affected by conductive media, so false alarms will not occur, which improves the accuracy of the ultrasonic detection member 11 in detecting the liquid level and reduces the frequency of users pouring water. The first electrode member 12 and the second electrode member 13 are arranged in the receiving cavity 101 at intervals. Moreover, the ultrasonic detection member 11 is arranged at the first alarm liquid level, the first electrode member 12 is arranged at the second alarm liquid level, and the liquid level value of the second alarm liquid level is greater than the liquid level value of the first alarm liquid level, that is, the first electrode member 12 is arranged at a position with a higher liquid level after the ultrasonic detection member 11. In this way, in an environment with foam, when the ultrasonic detection member 11 cannot contact the sewage liquid surface and the foam has begun to float up with the air flow, the first electrode member 12 and the second electrode member 13 will conduct after the foam rises to the second alarm liquid level, and the first electrode member 12 and the second electrode member 13 provide a water-full alarm function. The sewage tank 1 proposed in this application realizes the alarm function of the sewage tank 1 through the combined action of the ultrasonic detection member 11, the first electrode member 12, and the second electrode member 13, avoids false alarms, and can also give an alarm in time in the presence of foam to prevent sewage from spraying out through the air outlet 102.
[0077] It should be noted that the ultrasonic detection member 11 uses the principle that the sound speed is different in air and in water to identify the liquid level. When the liquid level submerges the transmitting end 117 and the receiving end 118 of the ultrasonic detection member 11, due to the change in the sound speed of ultrasonic waves in the liquid, it is recognized that the liquid level reaches the designed volume.
[0078] It can be understood that the sewage tank 1 is used for a cleaning device. The cleaning device includes a fan 3. The fan 3 creates a negative pressure in the receiving cavity 101 through the air outlet 102. Then, under the action of the negative pressure, the sewage on the ground enters the inlet channel 100 along with the air flow, and then the sewage enters the receiving cavity 101, and the air flow is discharged from the air outlet 102.
[0079] Optionally, the liquid level at the position where the second electrode member 13 is located is lower than the liquid level value at the position where the first electrode member 12 is located (for example, the liquid level value of the second alarm liquid level). In this way, when the foam floats up, the second electrode member 13 can contact the foam first, and the first electrode member 12 and the second electrode member 13 will be conducted when the foam contacts the first electrode member 12. Or, the liquid level value at the position where the second electrode member 13 is located is the same as the liquid level value at the position where the first electrode member 12 is located.
[0080] Optionally, the specific positions of the first alarm liquid level and the second alarm liquid level can be set according to actual conditions. Specifically, the first alarm liquid level is set near the design volume, and the second alarm liquid level is higher than the first alarm liquid level.
[0081] Optionally, the accommodating chamber 101 surrounds a portion of the circumference of the water inlet channel 100 .
[0082] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the box body 10 also includes: an upper cover assembly 108 installed at the upper end of the box body 10, the upper cover assembly 108 includes an extension portion 103 extending toward the accommodating cavity 101, and the ultrasonic detection component 11 and the first electrode component 12 are installed in the extension portion 103.
[0083] In this embodiment, the box body 10 also includes an upper cover assembly 108, which is installed at the upper end of the box body 10, and an extension portion 103 is provided on the upper cover assembly 108 to provide an installation position for the ultrasonic detection component 11 and the first electrode component 12, so that the ultrasonic detection component 11 and the first electrode component 12 extend into the accommodating cavity 101, so as to facilitate the detection of the liquid level in the accommodating cavity 101.
[0084] Among them, the ultrasonic detection component 11 is arranged on the side of the extension part 103 away from the water inlet channel 100, so as to prevent a large amount of sewage sucked in the water inlet channel 100 from directly flowing through the transmitting end 117 and the receiving end 118 of the ultrasonic detection component 11, so that the detection area of the ultrasonic detection component 11 is the large amount of sewage stored in the accommodating cavity 101, rather than the sewage that has just been sucked in and has not yet dripped, thereby eliminating the problem of false alarm when a large amount of sewage on the ground is sucked in a short time.
[0085] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the extension portion 103 and the inner wall surface of the accommodating chamber 101 enclose an air-water separation zone 104, the air outlet 102 is located outside the air-water separation zone 104, the air-water separation zone 104 includes a first outlet end 105, the first outlet end 105 is connected to the accommodating chamber 101, and is connected to the air outlet 102 through the accommodating chamber 101; the water inlet channel 100 includes a second outlet end 106, and the second outlet end 106 extends from the first outlet end 105 into the air-water separation zone 104.
[0086] In this embodiment, the extension portion 103 and the inner wall surface of the accommodation cavity 101 enclose a gas-liquid separation area 104. The gas-liquid separation area 104 includes a first outlet end 105, and the water inlet channel 100 includes a second outlet end 106. The second outlet end 106 of the water inlet channel 100 extends into the gas-liquid separation area 104, such that the gas-liquid separation area 104 surrounds the second outlet end 106. After the sewage enters the water inlet channel 100, it enters the gas-liquid separation area 104 from the second outlet end 106, and then flows into the accommodation cavity 101 from the first outlet end 105 of the gas-liquid separation area 104; the gas outlet 102 is located outside the gas-liquid separation area 104. After the gas enters the gas-liquid separation area 104 from the water inlet channel 100, it flows from the first outlet end 105 to the gas outlet 102, achieving the separation of gas and liquid. At the same time, by arranging the gas-liquid separation area 104 to surround the second outlet end 106, it can also prevent the sewage in the water inlet channel 100 from directly flowing to the ultrasonic detection member 11 and the first electrode member 12, avoiding false alarms in the sewage tank 1.

The first baffle 1032 and the second baffle 1034 are respectively disposed on the first side and the second side of the mounting plate 1030 and are respectively connected to the inner wall surface of the accommodation cavity 101. Thus, the mounting plate 1030, the first baffle 1032, the second baffle 1034 and the inner wall surface of the accommodation cavity 101 enclose an air-water separation area 104 to achieve the separation of sewage and airflow. At the same time, the ultrasonic detection member 11 is disposed on the part of the mounting plate 1030 extending into the accommodation cavity 101 and on the side of the mounting plate 1030 facing away from the water inlet channel 100, which can prevent the sewage inhaled in the water inlet channel 100 from directly flowing between the receiving end 118 and the transmitting end 117 of the ultrasonic detection member 11, ensuring the accuracy of the liquid level detection by the ultrasonic detection member 11.

Correspondingly, the first electrode members 12 can be respectively provided on at least two third baffles 1038. Thus, when the sewage tank 1 tilts left and right (for example, tilts towards the first side of the extension portion 103 or towards the second side of the extension portion 103), detection can also be respectively performed through the first electrode members 12 on the left and right sides, avoiding the situation where the alarm is not timely when the inclination angle is too large. The first electrode members 12 and the second electrode members 13 can also be respectively provided on at least two third baffles 1038, and an alarm reminder is given when the foam contacts both the first electrode members 12 and the second electrode members 13 at the same time.

[0128] Such as Figure 15 、 Figure 16 、 Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the cleaning device further includes: a main body 2, the sewage tank 1 is arranged on the main body 2, and an air inlet 24 and an air outlet 26 are provided on the main body 2; a fan 3, arranged on the main body 2, the fan 3 is communicated with the air outlet 102 through the air inlet 24, and the fan 3 is communicated with the air outlet 26.

The sewage tank 1 is arranged on the main body 2, and the fan 3 is arranged on the main body 2 and is communicated with the air outlet 102 through the air inlet 24. When the fan 3 is turned on, a negative pressure can be formed in the box body 10 through the air inlet 24 and the air outlet 102, so that the sewage enters the accommodating cavity 101 through the water inlet channel 100.
[0130] Optionally, the sewage tank 1 is detachably arranged on the main body 2.
[0131] Such as Figure 17 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the main body 2 is provided with: a second pair of interfaces 20, and the second electrode member 13 can be electrically connected to the second pair of interfaces 20; a third pair of interfaces 22, which can be connected to the first pair of interfaces 140 of the sewage tank 1.

[0133] Optionally, a water outlet 28 is further provided on the main body 2, and the water outlet 28 can be communicated with the water discharge channel 1070 of the sewage tank 1.
[0134] It should be noted that the cleaning device includes a floor washer. Optionally, the floor washer further includes a floor brush 4 and a clean water tank 5.
[0135] Specifically, during the cleaning process, the floor washer sprays clean water on the ground and wipes the ground dirt clean through the roller. At this time, the clean water becomes sewage. Under the suction force generated by the blower 3 of the floor washer, the sewage on the ground is sucked into the sewage tank 1, and gas-water separation is completed in the sewage tank 1. The sewage deposits inside the sewage tank 1, and the dry air flow further flows through the blower 3 and is discharged outside the floor washer. In order to prevent the problem that the sewage in the sewage tank 1 is sucked into the blower 3 by the air flow and then ejected due to the excessive amount of sewage in the sewage tank 1, a liquid level detection and alarm system (such as the ultrasonic detection member 11, the first electrode member 12, and the second electrode member 13) needs to be provided in the sewage tank 1. When the volume of the sewage tank 1 reaches the designed volume, the liquid level alarm is triggered and the operation of the blower 3 is stopped to prevent sewage overflow.
[0136] In specific applications, the present application proposes a combined floor washer liquid level detection scheme. This scheme mainly combines ultrasonic liquid level sensors (such as the ultrasonic detection member 11) with electrode liquid level detection (such as the first electrode member 12 and the second electrode member 13) for liquid level detection.
[0137] Electrode liquid level detection uses two non-connected metal sheets inserted into the sewage tank 1 to detect the water full signal. When the sewage level rises to the height of the metal sheets, the sewage conducts the two metal sheets, and whether the water is full can be judged by measuring the resistance between the two metal sheets.
[0138] The ultrasonic liquid level detection scheme uses the principle that the sound speed is different in air and water to identify the liquid level. When the liquid level submerges the transmitting end 117 and the receiving end 118 of the sensor, due to the change in the sound speed in the liquid, the liquid level reaching the designed volume is recognized. However, the ultrasonic liquid level sensor cannot detect foam, and the signal shows basically no difference in air and foam. Therefore, the two schemes are combined for liquid level detection.
[0139] 1. Arrange the ultrasonic liquid level sensor near the designed full water level (such as the designed volume). Since its detection principle is not affected by the resistance of the conductive medium, it will not generate false alarms.
[0140] 2. Arrange the electrode sensor (such as the first electrode member 12) at a position with a higher alarm liquid level behind the ultrasonic liquid level sensor, which does not function in a foam-free environment, and the ultrasonic module provides the water full alarm function. In a foamy environment, due to the thick foam layer, when the ultrasonic liquid level sensor cannot contact the sewage liquid surface and the foam has begun to float upward with the airflow, in the case where the foam connects the first electrode member 12 and the second electrode member 13, the electrode sensor provides the water full alarm function. At the same time, it can remind consumers to pay attention to cleaning the foam, and can also avoid the problem in the related technology that when the electrode sensor is set at the designed water level, the electrode contacts the foam and alarms prematurely, resulting in too little water stored in the sewage tank 1 and a significant increase in the pouring frequency.
[0141] 3. This solution does not have problems such as large volume, increased noise, and the need for movement.
[0142] Specifically, a combined liquid level detection system is installed in the sewage tank 1, including electrode liquid level detection and ultrasonic liquid level detection. The electrode A (such as the second electrode member 13) and the electrode B (such as the first electrode member 12) are combined for liquid level detection. When the sewage in the sewage tank 1 conducts the electrode plates at these two positions simultaneously, the water full alarm is triggered. The electrode A is set at the bottom of the sewage tank 1 and is always immersed in the sewage, while the electrode B is set at a position higher than the designed volume liquid level of the sewage tank 1 and will not be wetted by the sewage during normal use.
[0143] The ultrasonic liquid level sensor is set at the designed volume liquid level of the sewage tank 1. The ultrasonic liquid level sensor includes a transmitting end 117 and a receiving end 118, and judges whether it is immersed in the liquid by detecting the sound speed between the two.
[0144] The advantages are as follows:
[0145] (1) See the Figure 12 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14 for the working process. In most cases, as the sewage in the sewage tank 1 increases and the water level gradually rises, when there is no significant foam on the liquid surface in the sewage tank 1, compared with the solution with only electrode plates, this application will not be affected by the resistance of various dirty conductive media (vinegar, soy sauce, etc.).
[0146] (2) Because the ultrasonic liquid level sensor cannot detect the foam, as Figure 14 shows, when there is a thick layer of foam on the liquid surface in the sewage tank 1 and the height of the foam liquid surface is relatively high, the foam is easily carried by the airflow towards the air outlet 26. The sewage liquid surface at the bottom of the foam has not immersed the ultrasonic liquid level sensor, and at this time, the sewage tank 1 will not stop for protection. When the foam continues to move up to the electrode B and conducts with the electrode A at the bottom of the sewage tank 1, the stop protection is triggered.
[0147] (3) After the combination of the electrode and the ultrasonic wave, it can simultaneously solve the problems of false alarms of the electrode sensor under the influence of low-resistance sewage and false alarms of the ultrasonic liquid level sensor for foam leakage.
[0148] (4) If you want to use the ultrasonic liquid level sensor alone to detect the full water level in the presence of foam, you need to move the arrangement position of the ultrasonic liquid level sensor downward by a large amount so that it can contact the sewage surface earlier, which will cause the volume of the sewage tank 1 to decrease significantly. Depending on the flow rate and foam height in the sewage tank 1, the volume reduction may be between 15% and 30%; when using the electrode alone to detect the liquid level, false alarms may occur after a long time of use, and the alarm will stop when sucking sewage at the beginning, resulting in the complete inability to use the floor washer.
[0149] Optionally, the form and angle of gas-liquid separation can be different; the ultrasonic liquid level sensor is not limited to being arranged in the middle of the sewage tank 1 and can be arranged on one side of the sewage tank 1. Electrode A is not limited to being arranged at the bottom of the sewage tank 1 and can be symmetrically arranged with electrode B or at other higher positions as long as the electrode can be conducted during use; electrode B is not limited to being arranged on the baffle and can extend from other positions; the ultrasonic liquid level sensor and the electrode liquid level sensor are combined for liquid level detection, and the trigger liquid level height / volume of the electrode liquid level detection should be higher than that of the electrode liquid level sensor; the ultrasonic liquid level sensor should be structurally blocked from the sewage flowing out of the water inlet pipe (such as the water inlet channel 100) to prevent a large amount of sewage sucked from the water inlet pipe from directly flowing between the transmitting end 117 and the receiving end 118 of the ultrasonic liquid level sensor, so that the detection area of the ultrasonic liquid level sensor can only detect the large amount of sewage stored in the sewage tank 1 rather than the sewage that has just been sucked in and has not yet dripped, thus eliminating the problem of false alarms when sucking a large amount of sewage from the ground in a short time.
