Using cleaning equipment to clean the home not only saves cleaning time, but also makes the floor cleaned by the cleaning equipment cleaner.

[0003] Current cleaning equipment usually includes a water tank, which can be a clean water tank for storing cleaning water or a sewage tank for storing sewage. The cleaning equipment can clean the floor with the cleaning water stored in the clean water tank. The cleaning equipment can also absorb the sewage remaining on the floor after cleaning the floor through the sewage tank.

[0004] In order to better detect the amount of liquid stored in the water tank, it is necessary to set a corresponding detection device in the water tank.

For another example, for a sewage tank, a detection device can usually be set at the top of the sewage tank, and this detection device can detect whether the liquid level of the liquid stored in the sewage tank is higher than the specified maximum level. For this reason, the current cleaning equipment cannot accurately obtain the liquid level height of the liquid inside the water tank in real time, resulting in low reliability of the cleaning equipment.

[0030] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] A water tank provided in an embodiment of the present application can be installed in a cleaning device, and this water tank can be used as a clean water tank to store cleaning water for cleaning the floor, and this water tank can also be used as a sewage tank to store sewage after the cleaning device absorbs the water stains remaining on the floor.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a water tank provided in an embodiment of the present application. The water tank 000 may include: a water tank body 100, an air pressure detection component 200 and an air pipe 300.

[0033] To see the internal structure of the water tank 000 more clearly, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The water tank body 100 in the water tank 000 may have a water storage chamber 100a and a connecting through hole 100b communicating with the water storage chamber 100a.

[0034] The air pressure detection assembly 200 in the water tank 000 can be fixed on the outer surface of the water tank body 100, and the air and water pressure detection assembly 200 has an air inlet (not marked in the figure).

[0035] A portion of the air pipe 300 in the water tank 000 may be located in the water tank 100a of the water tank body 100, and another portion of the air pipe 300 may extend out of the water storage chamber 100a through the connecting through hole 100b of the water tank body 100. The end of the air pipe 300 located in the water storage chamber 100a of the water tank body 100 may be communicated with the water storage chamber 100a, and the end of the air pipe 300 located outside the water storage chamber 100a of the water tank body 100 may be communicated with the air inlet of the water pressure detection assembly 200. In the present application, after the end of the air pipe 300 located outside the water storage chamber 100a is communicated with the air inlet of the water pressure detection assembly 200, the water pressure detection assembly 200 may detect the air pressure inside the air pipe 300.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, the air pressure detection component 200 in the water tank 000 detects the air pressure inside the air pipe 300, and the water level inside the water storage chamber 100a of the water tank body 100 can be determined according to the air pressure inside the air pipe 300. It should be noted that the water level inside the water storage chamber 100a in the present application refers to: the liquid level of the liquid stored inside the water storage chamber 100a.

[0037] In this case, when the water storage chamber 100a of the water tank body 100 stores different amounts of water, the water level in the water storage chamber 100a is also different. Since the end of the air pipe 300 located in the water storage chamber 100a is connected to the water storage chamber 100a, and the end of the air pipe 300 located outside the water storage chamber 100a is sealed relative to the outside, it is connected to the air pressure detection component 200. Therefore, according to the principle of communicating vessels, when the water level in the water storage chamber 100a is different, the air pressure inside the air pipe 300 is also different. For this reason, after the air pressure detection component 200 detects the air pressure inside the air pipe 300, the water level in the water storage chamber 100a can be determined according to the air pressure inside the air pipe 300. In this way, after the water tank 000 is installed in the cleaning equipment, the cleaning equipment can detect any water level in the water storage chamber 100a in real time and accurately through the air pressure detection component 200, so that the reliability of the cleaning equipment is high.

[0038] In summary, the water tank provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a water tank body, an air pressure detection component and an air pipe. The end of the air pipe located in the water storage chamber of the water tank body can be connected to the water storage chamber, and the end of the air pipe located outside the water storage chamber of the water tank body can be connected to the air inlet of the water pressure detection component. In this way, according to the principle of communicating vessels, when the water level in the water storage chamber is different, the air pressure inside the air pipe is also different. For this reason, after the air pressure detection component detects the air pressure inside the air pipe, the water level in the water storage chamber can be determined according to the air pressure inside the air pipe. In this way, after the water tank is installed in the cleaning equipment, the cleaning equipment can detect any water level in the water storage chamber in real time and accurately through the air pressure detection component, so that the reliability of the cleaning equipment is higher.

[0039] In this application, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water tank body 100 in the water tank 000 may also have a first air hole 100c communicating with the water storage chamber 100a. The water storage chamber 100a may be communicated with the outside through the first air hole 100c.

[0040] Here, the first air hole 100c of the water tank body 100 can be arranged on a side of the water tank body 100 away from the bottom. Therefore, the space above the liquid level of the stored liquid in the water storage chamber 100a can be connected to the outside through the first air hole 100c, so that the air pressure of the space above the liquid level of the stored liquid in the water storage chamber 100a is the atmospheric pressure of the outside.

[0041] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the end of the air pipe 300 in the water tank 000 located in the water tank 100a has a second air hole 300a, and the air pipe 300 can be connected with the water tank 100a through the second air hole 300a.

[0042] In the present application, the end of the air pipe 300 where the second air hole 300a is set may face the bottom of the water storage chamber 100a, and there is a gap between the end of the air pipe 300 where the second air hole 300a is set and the bottom of the water storage chamber 100a.

[0043] Here, by providing a gap between the end of the second air hole 300a provided in the air pipe 300 and the bottom of the water storage chamber 100a, it can be ensured that the air pipe 300 can communicate with the water storage chamber 100a through the second air hole 300a.

[0044] In the present application, the end of the air pipe 300 away from the second air hole 300a is not connected to the outside, and is connected to the air pressure detection component 200 through the air inlet of the air pressure detection component 200. Therefore, the air pressure inside the air pipe 300 is not equal to the external atmospheric pressure, and the air pressure inside the air pipe 300 is usually greater than the external atmospheric pressure.

[0045] In this case, if Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 yes Figure 2 The partially enlarged view of the water tank shown shows that after the liquid is stored in the water storage chamber 100a of the water tank body 100, the liquid stored in the water storage chamber 100a can flow into the air pipe 300 away from the second air hole 300a through the air pipe 300, but the liquid level of the liquid flowing into the air pipe 300 will be lower than the water level in the water storage chamber 100a.

[0046] According to the communicating vessel principle, the air pressure P1 inside the air pipe 300 satisfies the following relationship:

[0047] P1=P0+ρg(Hh) (1)

[0048] Among them, P1 represents the air pressure inside the air pipe 300; P0 represents the external atmospheric pressure; ρ represents the density of the liquid stored in the water storage chamber 100a; g represents the acceleration of gravity; H represents the water level in the water storage chamber 100a; h represents the vertical distance between the end of the second air hole 300a set in the air pipe 300 and the bottom of the water storage chamber 100a.

[0049] Here, the external atmospheric pressure P0, the density ρ of the liquid stored in the water storage chamber 100a, and the vertical distance h of the gap between the end of the second air hole 300a in the air pipe 300 and the bottom of the water storage chamber 100a are all fixed parameters acquired in advance. The air pressure P1 inside the air pipe 300 will change with the change of the water level H in the water storage chamber 100a, but the air pressure P1 inside the air pipe 300 can be measured by the air pressure detection component 200.

[0050] Therefore, after measuring the air pressure P1 inside the air pipe 300 through the air pressure detection component 200, the water level H in the water storage chamber 100a can be obtained.

[0051] For example, the above formula (1) can be transformed to obtain the following formula:

[0052]

[0053] In this case, after the air pressure P1 inside the air pipe 300 is measured by the air pressure detection component 200, the water level H in the water storage chamber 100a can be calculated by the above formula (2).

[0054] It should be noted that when the air pressure P1 inside the air pipe 300 measured by the air pressure detection component 200 is equal to the external atmospheric pressure P0, it means that the water level H inside the water storage chamber 100a is lower than or equal to the vertical distance h of the gap between the end of the air pipe 300 where the second air hole 300a is set and the bottom of the water storage chamber 100a. The air pipe 300 can be connected to the outside world through the second air hole 300a and the space above the liquid surface in the water storage chamber 100a. Therefore, the air pressure P1 inside the air pipe 300 will be equal to the external atmospheric pressure P0.

[0055] In this case, in order to ensure that the lower limit of the water level height of the water storage chamber 100a detected by the air pressure detection component 200 is small, so as to ensure that the present application can identify a wider range of water level heights, it is necessary to ensure that the vertical distance h of the gap between the end of the second air hole 300a provided in the air pipe 300 and the bottom of the water storage chamber 100a is small. For example, the vertical distance h of the gap between the end of the second air hole 300a provided in the air pipe 300 and the bottom of the water storage chamber 100a can be less than or equal to 1 cm. For example, the vertical distance h of the gap between the end of the second air hole 300a provided in the air pipe 300 and the bottom of the water storage chamber 100a can be equal to 0.1 mm, so that the lower limit of the water level height of the water storage chamber 100a detected by the air pressure detection component 200 is 0.1 mm.

[0056] Optional, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The air pressure detection assembly 200 in the water tank 000 may include: an air pressure detector body 201 fixed on the outer surface of the water tank body 100 , and a detection pipeline 202 connected to the air pressure detector body 201 .

[0057] The detection pipeline 202 in the air pressure detection assembly 200 has an air inlet of the air pressure detection assembly 200 away from the air pressure detector body 201. The detection pipeline 202 in the air pressure detection assembly 200 can be connected to the end of the air pipe 300 located outside the water storage chamber 100a.

[0058] In this case, the air pressure detector body 201 in the air pressure detection assembly 200 can be connected to the end of the air pipe 300 located outside the water storage chamber 100a through the detection pipeline 202, so that the air pressure detector body 201 can detect the air pressure inside the air pipe 300.

[0059] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 yes Figure 4 The water tank 000 may further include a sealing member 400 . Here, the sealing member 400 in the water tank 000 may be fixed at the connection between the detection pipeline 202 and the air pipe 300 in the air pressure detection assembly 200 .

[0060] In this way, the connection between the detection pipeline 202 and the trachea 300 can be sealed by the seal 400, so that the air pressure detector body 201 in the pressure detection component 200 has a higher accuracy when detecting the air pressure inside the trachea 300.

[0061] Optional, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the air pressure detection assembly 200 in the water tank 000 may also include: a cable 203 electrically connected to the air pressure detector body 201. The end of the cable 203 in the air pressure detection assembly 200 away from the air pressure detector body 201 is used for communication connection with the controller in the cleaning device.

[0062] Exemplarily, after the water tank 000 provided in the embodiment of the present application is installed in the cleaning device, the cable 203 in the air pressure detection component 200 can be connected to the controller in the cleaning device for communication. In this way, after the air pressure detector body 201 in the air pressure detection component 200 detects the air pressure inside the air pipe 300, the air pressure detector body 201 can send the detected air pressure value to the controller in the cleaning device through the cable 203 connected thereto, so that the controller in the cleaning device can obtain the air pressure inside the air pipe 300. Subsequently, the controller in the cleaning device can calculate the water level in the water storage chamber 100a in the water tank 000 according to the air pressure inside the air pipe 300 and in combination with the above formula (2).

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the water tank 000 has various forms. For example, the water tank 000 may be an integrated water tank, which can be installed in the cleaning device in a fixed manner. For another example, the water tank 000 may be a split water tank, which can be installed in the cleaning device in a detachable manner. And for water tanks 000 of different forms, the relative positions of the air pressure detection component 200 and the water tank body 100 in the water tank 000 are also different. For this reason, the embodiment of the present application will be schematically described by taking the following two optional solid line methods as examples.

[0064] A first optional implementation method is when the water tank 000 is an integrated water tank, such as Figure 4 As shown, the air pressure detection assembly 200 in the water tank 000 can be fixed on the top of the water tank body 100, and the top of the water tank body 100 can have a first air hole 100c and a connecting hole 100b that are connected to the water storage chamber 100a.

[0065] A second optional implementation method is when the water tank 000 is a split water tank, such as Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another water tank provided in an embodiment of the present application. The water tank body 100 in the water tank 000 may include: a box body 101 and a cover body 102. Here, the box body 101 in the water tank body 100 may have a water storage cavity 100a and an opening (not marked in the figure) connected to the water storage cavity 100a. The cover body 102 in the water tank body 100 may be rotatably connected to the box body 101 at the opening.

[0066] In this case, the air pressure detection assembly 200 in the water tank 000 can be fixed on the outer wall of the box body 101 in the water tank body 100, and the air pressure detection assembly 200 can be distributed at a position close to the opening of the box body 101. Among them, the outer wall of the box body 101 in the water tank body 100 can have a connecting through hole 100b, and the cover body 102 in the water tank body 100 can have a first air hole 100c. In this case, after the cover body 102 in the water tank body 100 rotates toward the box body 101 to seal the opening of the box body 101, the water storage chamber 100a of the box body 101 can be connected to the outside through the first air hole 100c.

[0067] Here, by fixing the air pressure detection assembly 200 on the outer side wall of the box body 101 in the water tank body 100, it can be ensured that the rotation between the cover body 102 and the box body 101 will not interfere with the distribution of the air pressure detection assembly 200. In addition, by providing the first air hole 100c for connecting the water storage chamber 100a with the outside on the cover body 102 in the water tank body 100, it can be ensured that the liquid stored in the water storage chamber 100a will not leak outward through the first air hole 100c.

[0068] It should be noted that when the water tank 000 is a split type water tank, when the water tank 000 is used as a clean water tank, if the user needs to inject cleaning water into the water storage chamber 100a, the user can control the cover 102 to rotate in a direction away from the box 101 so that the opening of the box 101 can be exposed, so that the user can inject cleaning water into the water storage chamber 101 through the opening of the box 101, and then the user can control the cover 102 to rotate in a direction toward the box 101 so that the cover 102 can seal the opening of the box 101. When the water tank 000 is used as a sewage tank, if the user needs to discharge the sewage stored in the water storage chamber 100a, the user can control the cover 102 to rotate in a direction away from the box 101 so that the opening of the box 101 can be exposed, so that the user can pour out the sewage stored in the water storage chamber 101 through the opening of the box 101.

[0069] Optionally, the water tank body 100 in the water tank 000 may also have a waterway opening (not marked in the figure) communicating with the water storage chamber 100a. The waterway opening is used to communicate with a water pump in the cleaning device. The water pump in the cleaning device is used to: inject liquid into the water storage chamber 100a through the waterway opening of the water tank body 100, and / or, discharge the liquid in the water storage chamber through the waterway opening.

[0070] Exemplarily, when the water tank 000 is used as a clean water tank, the water tank body 100 may have a single water channel opening, and after the water tank 000 is installed in the cleaning equipment, the water pump in the cleaning equipment may inject cleaning water into the water storage chamber 100a of the water tank 000 through this water channel opening.

[0071] When the water tank 000 is used as a sewage tank, the water tank body 100 may have two waterway openings, which may be respectively: a water inlet and a drain outlet. After the water tank 000 is installed in the cleaning equipment, the drainage pump of the cleaning equipment may be connected to the water storage chamber 100a through the drain outlet, and the negative pressure generating device of the cleaning equipment may be connected to 100a through the water inlet. In this way, the negative pressure generating device in the cleaning equipment may inject the sewage remaining on the ground into the water storage chamber 100a of the water tank 000 through the water inlet; the drainage pump in the cleaning equipment may discharge the sewage stored in the water storage chamber 100a of the water tank 000 through the drain outlet.

[0072] In summary, the water tank provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a water tank body, an air pressure detection component and an air pipe. The end of the air pipe located in the water storage chamber of the water tank body can be connected to the water storage chamber, and the end of the air pipe located outside the water storage chamber of the water tank body can be connected to the air inlet of the water pressure detection component. In this way, according to the principle of communicating vessels, when the water level in the water storage chamber is different, the air pressure inside the air pipe is also different. For this reason, after the air pressure detection component detects the air pressure inside the air pipe, the water level in the water storage chamber can be determined according to the air pressure inside the air pipe. In this way, after the water tank is installed in the cleaning equipment, the cleaning equipment can detect any water level in the water storage chamber in real time and accurately through the air pressure detection component, so that the reliability of the cleaning equipment is higher.

[0073] The present application also provides a cleaning device. The cleaning device may be a floor scrubber or a sweeping and mopping robot. The cleaning device may include: a device body, and a water tank connected to the device body. The water tank may be the water tank in the above embodiment. For example, the water tank may be Figure 1 , Figure 4 or Figure 6 Here, the cleaning device can detect the water level in the water storage chamber of the water tank through the air pressure detection component in the water tank.

[0074] In the present application, the device body in the cleaning device can be used to clean the floor, and the cleaning device may not be provided with a base station that cooperates with the device body, or may be provided with a base station that cooperates with the device body. Here, in the case where the cleaning device does not include a base station, the water tank in the above embodiment can be directly installed inside the device body; in the case where the cleaning device includes a base station that cooperates with the device body, the water tank in the above embodiment can be installed in the base station, or it can be installed in the device body, and the embodiments of the present application will not elaborate on this. Among them, the base station can be used to charge the device body, can also be used to inject clean water into the interior of the device body, and can also be used to absorb pollutants (for example, sewage or garbage, etc.) stored inside the device body.

[0075] For example, when a user wants to know the current water level in the water storage chamber of a water tank, the user only needs to trigger a corresponding instruction on the cleaning device, and the cleaning device can detect the current water level in the water storage chamber through the air pressure detection component in the water tank.

[0076] In another possible implementation, when the water tank in the cleaning device is used as a clean water tank, the cleaning device can detect in real time through the air pressure detection component whether the water level in the water storage chamber is lower than the first preset threshold. After the cleaning device detects that the water level in the water storage chamber is lower than the first preset threshold, the cleaning device can issue a prompt message to indicate to the user that the cleaning water currently stored in the water tank is insufficient.

[0077] When the water tank in the cleaning device is used as a sewage tank, the cleaning device can detect in real time through the air pressure detection component whether the water level in the water storage chamber is higher than the second preset threshold. After the cleaning device detects that the water level in the water storage chamber is higher than the second preset threshold, the cleaning device can issue a prompt message to indicate to the user that there is too much sewage stored in the current water tank.

[0078] The second preset threshold in the above embodiment may be much larger than the first preset threshold.

[0079] In the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. The term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, unless otherwise clearly defined.

[0080] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
