[0031] In the description of this embodiment, the orientation or positional relationships such as "above", "below", "right", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of description and simplifying the operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the embodiment of the present utility model provides a water supply and drainage module, including a box body 10, a clean water tank 20, a cleaning liquid tank 30, a multi-way pipe 40 and a water pump (not shown in the figure). The clean water tank 20, the cleaning liquid tank 30 and the multi-way pipe 40 are all arranged in the box body 10. The multi-way pipe 40 has at least three interconnected pipelines. The first pipeline 41 is communicated with the first outlet joint 21 of the clean water tank 20, the second pipeline 42 is communicated with the second outlet joint 31 of the cleaning liquid tank 30, and the third pipeline 43 is communicated with the water inlet of the water pump. By providing the multi-way pipe 40, and connecting both the clean water tank 20 and the cleaning liquid tank 30 to the multi-way pipe 40, and then connecting the multi-way pipe 40 to the water pump, the purpose of a single water pump providing both cleaning liquid and clean water simultaneously is achieved, reducing the cost. Optionally, the multi-way pipe 40 is a three-way pipe, but is not limited thereto.

[0033] The inner diameter of the second pipeline 42 is smaller than that of the first pipeline 41. In this way, the flow rate of the cleaning liquid can be made smaller than that of the clean water, avoiding excessive cleaning liquid. By adjusting the inner diameter ratio of the second pipeline 42 and the first pipeline 41, the ratio of the cleaning liquid to the clean water can be controlled, enabling the cleaning liquid and the clean water to reach the optimal ratio, so as to more effectively achieve the purposes of cleaning and disinfection. Further, the inner diameter of the third pipeline 43 is greater than or equal to that of the first pipeline 41, ensuring the flow rate of the cleaning liquid water after the clean water and the cleaning liquid are mixed.

[0034] In this embodiment, the height of the clean water tank 20 is lower than that of the box body 10. The clean water tank 20 is a closed structure. The first outlet joint 21 of the clean water tank 20 is located at the top end of the clean water tank 20. An extension pipe 22 is arranged in the clean water tank 20. One end of the extension pipe 22 is communicated with the first outlet joint 21 of the clean water tank 20, and the other end extends to the bottom of the clean water tank 20. Through the above arrangement, it is convenient to arrange the first outlet joint 21 of the clean water tank 20 and ensure that the clean water in the clean water tank 20 flows out more thoroughly. Further, a filter 23 is arranged at the bottom end of the extension pipe 22. The water in the clean water tank 20 enters the extension pipe 22 after being filtered by the filter 23, flows through the extension pipe 22 and the first outlet joint 21 to the multi-way pipe 40, then flows from the multi-way pipe 40 to the water pump, and finally is provided by the water pump to the mop of the floor sweeper for mop cleaning. By arranging the filter 23, impurities can be prevented from entering components such as the multi-way pipe 40 and the water pump, avoiding blockage of the multi-way pipe 40 and improving the service life of the water pump.

[0035] An inlet joint 24 is also arranged at the top end of the clean water tank 20. The inlet joint 24 is communicated with a water source to supplement clean water into the clean water tank 20. A connecting joint 25 and a float mechanism 26 are arranged in the clean water tank 20. One end of the connecting joint 25 is communicated with the inlet joint 24, and the other end of the connecting joint 25 has a water inlet. The float mechanism 26 is rotatably connected to the connecting joint 25. The float mechanism 26 can rotate and switch between closing the water inlet and opening the water inlet. When the water level in the clean water tank 20 reaches a preset high water level, the float mechanism 26 can close the water inlet. When the water level in the clean water tank 20 is lower than the preset low water level, the float mechanism 26 can open the water inlet. The float mechanism 26 is a prior art, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail. Through the above arrangement, automatic water replenishment of the clean water tank 20 can be realized.

[0036] In this embodiment, the height of the cleaning liquid tank 30 is not higher than that of the box body 10. The cleaning liquid tank 30 has an open upper end.
