Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment accessories, in particular to a clean water tank. Background Art
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the increasing requirements for the cleanliness of the home environment, fabric cleaning equipment for cleaning fabric furniture products has emerged. However, at present, the structure design of the clean water tank of the fabric cleaning machine on the market is unreasonable. The design of the position of the clean water tank water inlet of the fabric cleaning equipment limits the cleaning direction of the equipment. The water outlet is usually located on the bottom tank cover or the side of the equipment, so that the equipment mainly relies on gravity to make the clean water flow out and soak the cleaning brush head when cleaning. This design enables the equipment to play a better role when cleaning horizontal objects, such as carpets, because the clean water can flow out smoothly and be evenly distributed on the brush head. However, when facing vertical objects, such as sofa backrests, because the direction of gravity is perpendicular to the cleaning surface, it is difficult for the clean water to effectively flow out from the water inlet and cover the entire brush head, which leads to poor cleaning effect or even inability to clean; secondly, the fixedness of the clean water tank structure also limits the flexibility of the equipment. Since the clean water tank is usually tightly connected to the main body of the equipment and the position is relatively fixed, it is impossible for users to adjust the position of the clean water tank or the water inlet according to cleaning needs. When cleaning fabric furniture in different directions and positions, users may need to frequently change equipment or adjust cleaning methods to adapt to different cleaning scenarios, which not only increases the difficulty and workload of cleaning, but also reduces cleaning efficiency.
