[0072] The second cylinder cover 22-4 is detachably mounted on the second cylinder body 22-2. The regeneration component 22-3 is placed inside the second cylinder body 22-2. The second cylinder cover 22-4 seals the second cylinder body 22-2 to prevent the regeneration component 22-3 from deteriorating.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the softening life of the softening layer 21-3 in the softening treatment component 201 is estimated to expire, the water in the box body 10 enters the regeneration treatment component 202 from the water inlet end of the regeneration treatment component 202 to generate saturated replacement water. The saturated replacement water can be a high-concentration salt water. The high-concentration salt water enters the softening treatment component 201 through the second joint 22-1 and the first joint 21-5. The high-concentration salt water flows through the softening layer 21-3 and is fully contacted. The Na in the salt water is + The hardness ions on the softening layer 21-3 are replaced again, and the replaced wastewater is directly pumped into a sewage tank through a base station water pump or discharged into a cloth washing pool and then pumped into a sewage tank or poured out by the user (not shown in the figure).

[0074] In some embodiments, a connecting assembly 30 is disposed on the outer wall of the second cylinder 22 - 2 , and the first cylinder 21 - 1 is connected to the second cylinder 22 - 2 via the connecting assembly 30 .

[0075] The second cylinder 22 - 2 is fixed inside the box body 10 , and the first cylinder 21 - 1 is fixedly connected to the second cylinder 22 - 2 via a connecting assembly 30 , thereby making the first cylinder 21 - 1 indirectly fixed inside the box body 10 .

[0076] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 3-5 As shown, the first barrel cover 21 - 4 has a positioning portion and a fixing portion, and the connecting assembly 30 includes: a connecting plate 31 , a positioning member 32 and a fixing member 33 .

[0077] The connecting plate 31 is installed on the outer wall of the second cylinder 22-2, and the connecting plate 31 has an opening 301. The first cylinder 21-1 can pass through the opening 301.

[0079] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the water tank of the cleaning equipment further includes: a water level detection component 40.

[0080] The water level detection component 40 is installed in the box body 10 and is close to the bottom of the box body 10; when the water level detection component 40 detects that the water level in the box body 10 reaches the preset water level, the water in the box body 10 enters the regeneration processing component 202 from the water inlet end of the regeneration processing component 202 to generate saturated replacement water, which is discharged into the first connector 21-5 from the second connector 22-1 to regenerate the softening function of the softening processing component 201.

[0081] Among them, the preset water level is set according to needs.

[0082] When the softening life of the softening layer 21-3 in the softening treatment component 201 is estimated to expire, it can be known from the water level detection component 40 that the amount of water in the box body 10 is small when it reaches the bottom of the box body 10, that is, there is a certain amount of residual water. At this time, the residual water in the box body 10 is fed into the regeneration treatment component 202 from the water inlet end of the regeneration treatment component 202 to generate saturated replacement water, and then discharged into the first joint 21-5 from the second joint 22-1 to regenerate the softening function of the softening treatment component 201. The problem that there is still a small amount of residual water in the box body 10 when the water level detection component 40 reaches the bottom of the box body 10 is solved, and the residual water is used to generate saturated replacement water for the regeneration of the softening layer 21-3, thereby extending the service life of the softening module 20.

[0083] Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, the water level detection assembly 40 includes: a limiting portion 41 and a floating member 42.

[0084] The limiting portion 41 is installed inside the box body 10 near the bottom of the box body 10, and the limiting portion 41 is connected to the interior of the box body 10; the float 42 floats in the limiting portion 41, and a magnetic component (not shown in the figure) is arranged inside the float 42, and the position of the float 42 in the box body 10 is detected by the magnetic component.

[0085] Among them, the limiting part 41 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body 10, the float 42 can be a float, and the float 42 floats up and down in the limiting part 41. A magnetic part (not shown in the figure) is arranged inside the float 42, and a Hall sensor (not shown in the figure) is arranged at the corresponding position of the base station, which is used to detect the position of the float 42, and then detect whether the water in the box body 10 reaches the preset water level.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the box body 10 is filled with clean water, the box body 10 is placed in the box body compartment of the base station (not shown in the figure). During the mop washing process, the water in the box body 10 flows out from the water inlet end of the softening treatment component 201 to the water outlet 22. The clean water is fully in contact with the softening treatment component 201, so that the hardness component Ca in the water is 2+ Mg 2+ Ion exchange is performed with the softening treatment component 201 to adsorb Ca in water 2+ Mg 2+ , so that the water is softened and discharged from the water outlet 22 and the first end 111 into the water outlet joint 11, and discharged from the box body 10 from the second end 112, enters the water path of the base station, and is heated by the heating component to produce hot water for washing the mop. When the float 42 in the water level detection component 40 is in the preset position, there is a small amount of residual water in the box body 10 accordingly, and the residual water enters the regeneration processing component 202 from the water inlet end of the regeneration processing component 202 to generate saturated replacement water. The saturated replacement water can be high-concentration salt water. The high-concentration salt water enters the softening processing component 201 through the second joint 22-1 and the first joint 21-5. The high-concentration salt water flows through the softening layer 21-3 and is fully contacted. The Na in the salt water is + The hardness ions on the softening layer 21-3 are replaced again, and the replaced wastewater is directly pumped into a sewage tank through a base station water pump or discharged into a cloth washing pool and then pumped into a sewage tank or poured out by the user (not shown in the figure).
