[0035] It should be noted that all actions of acquiring signals, information or data in the present disclosure are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the device is located and with the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0036] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "upper" and "lower" are generally defined under the normal use of the cleaning device provided by the present disclosure, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer parts of the corresponding parts, and the terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish different parts and do not have order and importance. In addition, in the following description, when referring to the drawings, unless otherwise explained, the same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0037] In order to meet the demand for cleaning power in different scenarios of floor scrubbers, the related technology also provides a solution of an external cleaning liquid box, which uses a water pump to pump the cleaning liquid into a clean water tank. However, this solution cannot effectively control when to use the cleaning liquid and when not to use the cleaning liquid, and making the cleaning liquid box into an independent component will occupy the external space of the floor scrubber, and has no advantages in terms of structure and cost.

[0038] To solve the above problems, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present disclosure provides a clean water tank for a cleaning device, wherein the clean water tank 1 has a first cavity 11 for containing clean water, a second cavity 12 for containing cleaning liquid, and a control component 2, the first cavity 11 is provided with a water outlet, the second cavity 12 is provided in the first cavity 11, a pipe 13 connecting the second cavity 12 and the water outlet is provided in the first cavity 11, and the control component 2 is configured to allow the cleaning liquid in the second cavity 12 and the clean water in the first cavity 11 to flow out from the water outlet, or only allow the clean water in the first cavity 11 to flow out from the water outlet.

[0039] Here, it should be noted that the cleaning equipment can be a floor scrubber, a cleaning robot, a mopping machine, etc. The control component 2 can be in any appropriate form, and a ball valve can be set in the pipeline 13. The control component 2 can control the cleaning liquid in the pipeline 13 by controlling the ball valve. When the ball valve is turned on, the water outlet can output cleaning liquid and clean water at the same time. When the ball valve is turned off, only clean water flows out of the water outlet, which can be manually controlled according to user needs. Any solution that can realize the conduction or cutoff of the cleaning liquid in the pipeline 13 belongs to the protection scope of the present disclosure, which will be described in detail below.

[0040] In the clean water tank provided by the present disclosure, the cleaning liquid box is built-in, does not occupy additional external space, has a simple overall structure, and the outflow path of the cleaning liquid and the outflow path of the clean water are independent of each other, which will not affect the outflow of the clean water. In addition, the outflow time of the cleaning liquid can be accurately controlled manually and can be switched at any time, which can meet the requirements of cleaning intensity in different scenarios, realize the controllability of the cleaning liquid, and is simple and convenient to operate, which improves the user experience.

[0041] The water outlet of the clean water tank 1 is connected to a liquid outlet pipe, and a power part, such as a water pump, is provided on the liquid outlet pipe. The clean water in the first cavity 11 and the cleaning liquid in the second cavity 12 share the power part. When the control component 2 is in the open state, the cleaning liquid and the clean water are pumped out together during the pumping process of the water pump, thereby realizing the cleaning process of the cleaning liquid. When the cleaning liquid is not in use, the control component 2 is closed, and the cleaning liquid no longer flows out, thereby realizing the cleaning process of the clean water. In other embodiments, a power part may be provided for the cleaning liquid and the clean water respectively, and the cleaning liquid and the clean water are pumped out respectively, which all belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 5 As shown, the second cavity 12 has a valve port 120 connected to the outside, and the control component 2 is arranged at the valve port 120 for controlling the opening and closing of the valve port 120, wherein the clean water tank has: the valve port 120 is in an open state, the second cavity 12 is connected to the outside atmospheric pressure, and in the process of the water pump pumping water, the cleaning liquid in the second cavity 12 will also be pumped out through the pipeline 13, and the cleaning liquid in the second cavity 12 and the clean water in the first cavity 11 will flow out from the water outlet; the valve port 120 is in a closed state, the second cavity 12 is isolated from the atmosphere, and when the water pump performs the pumping operation, the air pressure in the second cavity 12 will be lower than the outside atmospheric pressure. Under the action of the pressure difference, the cleaning liquid no longer flows out, and only the clean water in the first cavity 11 flows out from the water outlet.

[0043] The control component 2 may be any suitable structure to open or close the valve port 120. In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 5As shown, the control component 2 includes a seat body 21 arranged in the second cavity 12, and the valve port 120 is opened on the seat body 21. The control component also includes a ball 22 and a pressing portion 23 arranged in the seat body 21. The pressing portion 23 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the seat body 21 and can be switched between a first position and a second position. In the first position, one side of the pressing portion 23 rotates downward to press the ball 22 at the valve port 120 to close the valve port 120; in the second position, one side of the pressing portion 23 is lifted upward, and the ball 22 can roll freely in the seat body 21 to open the valve port 120. The seat body 21 can be a rectangular structure with an opening at the top. The valve port 120 is provided on the bottom wall of the seat body 21 and communicates with the second cavity 12. The middle position of the pressing portion 23 can be rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the seat body 21, similar to a seesaw structure. For example, the ball 22 and the valve port 120 are arranged on the upper part of the seat body 21. When the upper side of the pressing portion 23 is pressed downward, the ball 22 can be pressed at the valve port 120 to block the valve port 120; when the lower side of the pressing portion 23 is pressed downward, the ball 22 can be pressed back to the valve port 120. Figure 5 , the ball 22 is released, and the ball 22 rolls freely, which can release the valve port 120. In other embodiments, the control component 2 can also be a rotatable valve plate arranged at the valve port 120, and the switching between the open and closed states of the valve port 120 can also be achieved by controlling the rotation angle of the valve plate.

[0044] In order to keep the pressing part 23 in the first position and the second position to avoid shaking and abnormal noise, in the present disclosure, a guide member 24 that can be raised and lowered is provided in the seat body 21. The guide member 24 has a vertex and inclined surfaces on both sides of the vertex. In the natural state (when the pressing part 23 is not operated), the pressing part 23 is in a horizontal position, and the middle position of the pressing part 23 abuts against the vertex of the guide member 24. In the first position, the lower side of the pressing part 23 is tilted, and the side (upper side) of the pressing part 23 close to the ball 22 abuts against the inclined surface of one side of the guide member 24. In the second position, the upper side of the pressing part 23 is tilted, and the side (lower side) of the pressing part 23 away from the ball abuts against the inclined surface of the other side of the guide member 24. By providing the inclined surface, the rotation of the pressing part 23 will not be interfered with, and it can be avoided. In the first position and the second position, the guide member 24 pushes the pressing part 23 upward to keep it in the corresponding position.

[0045] In order to realize the lifting and lowering of the guide member 24 without affecting the rotatability of the pressing portion 23 and also to play a limiting role, in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a sleeve 25 and an elastic member 26 installed in the sleeve 25 are provided in the seat body 21, and the guide member 24 is buckled on the elastic member 26. When switching from the natural state to the first position or the second position, the elastic member 26 is compressed. In the first position or the second position, the pressing portion 23 is maintained in the corresponding position under the action of the restoring force of the elastic member 26. In other embodiments, the lifting and lowering of the guide member 24 can also be realized by a telescopic rod controlled by hydraulic pressure, which all belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0046] In this disclosure, Figure 5 As shown, the surface of the pressing portion 23 for contacting the ball 22 is provided with an arc portion 230 to fix the ball 22 in the first position. The arc portion 230 can be designed according to the surface of the ball 22. In the first position, the two can fit each other to ensure the blocking effect on the valve port 120.

[0047] In the present disclosure, a baffle 27 is provided between the guide member 24 and the valve port 120 so that the ball 22 is located in the space on one side of the baffle 27. The range of motion of the ball 22 can be reduced, and when pressing on the upper side of the pressing portion 23, the ball 22 can be directly pressed, thereby avoiding problems such as misalignment or failure of movement.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, a water outlet connector 14 is provided at the water outlet, and the water outlet connector 14 has an interface for connecting the pipeline 13, a first outlet 141 connected to the first cavity 11, and a second outlet 142 connected to the outside. The liquid outlet pipe can be connected to the second outlet 142, and under the action of the water pump, the cleaning liquid in the pipeline 13 and the clean water in the first outlet 141 can flow out through the second outlet 142, and the cleaning liquid in the pipeline 13 will not enter the first cavity 11, avoiding the need to replace the clean water in the first cavity 11 when clean water cleaning is required separately, thereby ensuring the clean water cleaning process.

[0049] The clean water tank 1 includes a base 100 and a cover body buckled on the base 100, a cavity is formed between the cover body and the base 100, a partition 15 is provided in the base 100 to divide the cavity of the clean water tank 1 into a first cavity 11 and a second cavity 12, and the clean water tank 1 has a water injection port 101 connected to the first cavity 11 and a liquid injection port 102 connected to the second cavity 12. The cleaning liquid box is built-in to achieve a hidden effect, which will not occupy the external space of the clean water tank 1, and the overall structure is more concise. The water injection port 101 and the liquid injection port 102 can be set on the back of the clean water tank 1, and sealing covers are respectively provided on the two, and rubber rings are provided on the sealing covers to ensure the overall sealing and avoid leakage.

[0050] Specifically, in the clean water tank of the cleaning equipment provided by the present disclosure, in a natural state, the pressing part 23 is in a horizontal state. When the cleaning liquid is needed, the lower side of the pressing part 23 is pressed, and the ball 22 can automatically open the valve port 120, and the second cavity 12 is connected to the external atmospheric pressure. When the water pump pumps water from the clean water tank, the cleaning liquid can be sucked out through the pipeline 13. When the cleaning liquid is not needed, the upper side of the pressing part 23 is pressed to fix the ball 22 in the position of closing the valve port 120, and the second cavity 12 is isolated from the outside world. When the water pump pumps water, the pressure in the second cavity 12 is less than the atmospheric pressure, and the cleaning liquid no longer flows out. Only clean water flows out of the water outlet, and the clean water is washed. The clean water tank can meet the needs of cleaning intensity in different scenarios, and it can be manually selected when and where to use the cleaning liquid for cleaning. In addition, the cleaning liquid box adopts a built-in solution, which will not occupy the overall volume of the cleaning equipment, is simple and convenient to use, has a simple structure, and is low in cost.

[0051] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a cleaning device is also provided, comprising a body 10 and a clean water tank 1, wherein the clean water tank 1 is detachably mounted on the body 10, and the clean water tank may be the clean water tank of the cleaning device described above. The cleaning device may be a floor scrubber, and the cleaning device has all the beneficial effects of the clean water tank described above, which will not be repeated here.
