[0017] 1. Before filling the empty water tank with clean water, the annular floating ball is located at the bottom of the water tank. When filling the water tank with clean water through the diversion box later, the annular floating ball will rise along the positioning column as the liquid level inside the water tank rises. When the top of the annular floating ball touches the annular plate, the annular plate will be pushed upward by the annular floating ball. During the upward movement of the annular plate, the two connecting rods connected to its top and the linkage column connected to the outer wall of the top of the connecting rod move along the linkage groove formed inside the U-shaped plate, so that the two U-shaped plates and the connecting blocks respectively connected thereto and the partition plates connected to the other ends of the connecting blocks move relatively closer until the two partition plates are mutually engaged, blocking the clean water from entering the water tank through the diversion box, eliminating the need for the operator to continuously observe the water level, preventing the clean water from being overfilled and overflowing, with simple operation and convenient and fast filling. For existing floor scrubbers, after introducing clean water, a certain amount of clean water needs to be filled and then the filling is stopped. The operator needs to constantly observe the water level in the water tank throughout the process to prevent the clean water from being overfilled and overflowing, resulting in waste of clean water. There are also some that install a transparent liquid level tube on the side wall of the water tank to observe the water level. However, after the clean water inside the water tank reaches a certain amount, it is necessary to manually block the water inlet of the water tank to prevent the clean water from overflowing. This floor scrubber eliminates the need for the operator to continuously observe the water level, prevents the clean water from being overfilled and overflowing, has simple operation and is convenient and fast to fill.

[0018] 2. By connecting a rectangular plate to the outer wall of the annular plate, when the annular plate is completely pushed into the annular groove by the upward movement of the annular floating ball, the rectangular plate is simultaneously located inside the rectangular groove, and at this time, the pressing block connected to the top of the rectangular plate contacts the contact switch at the bottom of the buzzer, causing the buzzer to alarm and remind the operator to close the water valve. A plurality of limiting grooves are provided on the outer wall of the positioning column, and at the same time, a plurality of limiting columns are connected to the inner wall of the annular floating ball. When the annular floating ball rises, the plurality of limiting columns on the inner wall move along the plurality of limiting grooves respectively, making the rising of the annular floating ball more stable.

The partition plate 16 is located inside the sliding groove 8.

[0029] Before filling the empty water tank 1 with clean water, the annular float 3 is located at the bottom of the water tank 1. Then, when filling the water tank 1 with clean water through the water inlet pipe 25 and then through the diversion box 5, the annular float 3 will rise along the positioning column 2 as the liquid level inside the water tank 1 rises. When the top of the annular float 3 touches the annular plate 10, the annular plate 10 will be pushed upward by the annular float 3. During the upward movement of the annular plate 10, the two connecting rods 11 connected to the top of it and the linkage columns 12 connected to the outer walls of the tops of the connecting rods 11 move along the linkage grooves 14 opened inside the U-shaped plates 13, so that the two U-shaped plates 13 and the connecting blocks 15 connected to them respectively and the partition plates 16 connected to the other ends of the connecting blocks 15 approach each other until the two partition plates 16 are engaged with each other, blocking the clean water from entering the water tank 1 through the diversion box 5, so that after filling a certain amount of clean water, the clean water entering the water tank 1 is automatically blocked, preventing too much clean water from overflowing from the water tank 1.

[0034] Working principle: Before filling the empty water tank 1 with clean water, the annular floating ball 3 is located at the bottom of the water tank 1. Then, when filling the water tank 1 with clean water through the water inlet pipe 26 and then through the diversion box 5, the annular floating ball 3 will rise along the positioning post 2 as the liquid level inside the water tank 1 rises. When the top of the annular floating ball 3 contacts the annular plate 10, the annular plate 10 will be pushed upward by the annular floating ball 3. During the upward movement of the annular plate 10, the two connecting rods 11 connected to its top and the linkage posts 12 connected to the outer wall of the top of the connecting rods 11 move along the linkage grooves 14 provided inside the U-shaped plate 13, causing the two U-shaped plates 13 and the connecting blocks 15 respectively connected thereto and the partition plates 16 connected to the other ends of the connecting blocks 15 to move relatively closer until the two partition plates 16 are mutually engaged, blocking the clean water from entering the water tank 1 through the diversion box 5. When the annular plate 10 is completely pushed into the annular groove 4 by the upward push of the annular floating ball 3, the rectangular plate 18 is simultaneously located inside the rectangular groove 17, and at this time, the pressure block 19 connected to the top of the rectangular plate 18 contacts the contact switch 22 at the bottom of the buzzer 21, causing the buzzer 21 to alarm and remind the operator to close the water valve.
