[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the utility model provides a steam disk water replenishing device in the self-cleaning system of a clothing care machine, including a care machine body 1, a steam disk body 2 and a water tank 3 are arranged inside the care machine body 1, a water pump 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 3, the output end of the water pump 4 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 5 connected to the steam disk body 2, the input end of the steam disk body 2 is fixedly connected to a pumping pipe 6 located inside the water tank 3, a spare water tank 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the water tank 3, the spare water tank 7 is movably connected to the inside of the side near the water tank 3, and an arc groove 9 is provided on the surface of the turntable 8 in an annular shape of 180 degrees, a motor 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the care machine body 1, the output shaft end of the motor 10 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 11, and a guide groove 12 is provided on the surface of the rotating rod 11 in an annular shape of 180 degrees, a square plate 15 is movably connected to the inside of the water tank 3, and a float-type water level sensor 18 is placed inside the water tank 3.

[0023] The above scheme is adopted: through the design of the float type water level sensor 18, it is convenient to detect the water level inside the water tank 3 in a timely manner, and the circular holes of the water tank 3 and the spare water tank 7 are unsealed after the turntable 8 rotates, and the spare water inside the spare water tank 7 is replenished into the water tank 3. Subsequently, the protruding rod 16 slides along the track of the guide groove 12, thereby driving the square plate 15 to generate pressure on the spare water in the spare water tank 7, thereby improving the efficiency and speed of the standby water replenishment, thereby improving the overall continuity and stability of the water replenishment device.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the tops of the water tank 3 and the spare water tank 7 are movably connected with a cover plate, and two circular holes are provided on the opposite sides of the water tank 3 and the spare water tank 7. The turntable 8 seals the two circular holes in the initial state, and the end of the rotating rod 11 away from the motor 10 is fixedly connected to the turntable 8, and the end of the rotating rod 11 close to the motor 10 is fixedly connected to the gear 13. The interior of the nursing machine body 1 is movably connected with a tooth plate 14, and the gear 13 is meshed with the tooth plate 14.

[0025] The above-mentioned solution is adopted: a cover plate is movably connected to the top of the water storage tank 3 and the spare water tank 7. Its function is that when the clean water inside the water storage tank 3 and the spare water tank 7 is used up, the operator can easily replenish the clean water into the water storage tank 3 and the spare water tank 7 by sliding the cover plate, thereby improving the overall practicality of the water replenishing device.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a buzzer button 17 is provided inside the nursing machine body 1, and the tooth plate 14 abuts against the buzzer button 17 after moving. The arc of the guide groove 12 is one hundred and fifty degrees. The square plate 15 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 11, and the outer wall of the square plate 15 fits with the inner wall of the spare water tank 7. The middle ring of the square plate 15 is provided with a protruding rod 16 at one hundred and eighty degrees, and the protruding rod 16 is movably clamped in the inside of the guide groove 12.

[0027] The above solution is adopted: the arc of the guide groove 12 is one hundred and fifty degrees, so that when the rotating rod 11 drives the turntable 8 to rotate, the square plate 15 always drives the protruding rod 16 to move toward the turntable 8 along the trajectory of the guide groove 12. If the arc of rotation of the rotating rod 11 exceeds one hundred and fifty degrees, the turntable 8 will re-seal the circular holes on the water tank 3 and the spare water tank 7, thereby affecting the normal operation of the device.

[0028] It is worth noting here that: when the water in the water tank 3 needs to be replenished with clean water, the operator must first control the motor 10 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the turntable 8, the square plate 15 and the toothed plate 14 to reset, so that the toothed plate 14 releases the pressure on the buzzer button 17. At the same time, the turntable 8 re-seals the circular holes on the water tank 3 and the spare water tank 7. Then, the personnel injects clean water into the water tank 3 and the spare water tank 7.

[0029] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: start the water pump 4, thereby pumping the clean water inside the water tank 3 to the inside of the connecting pipe 5 through the pumping pipe 6, and then replenishing water to the inside of the steam disk body 2 through the connecting pipe 5. While the clean water inside the water tank 3 is being pumped, the float-type water level sensor 18 will move down with the buoyancy of the water, thereby detecting the water level inside the water tank 3. When the water level inside the water tank 3 drops to a predetermined value set in advance by the float-type water level sensor 18, the float-type water level sensor 18 will transmit the water level signal to the information terminal, thereby controlling the operation of the motor 10 through the information terminal, and then driving the rotating rod 11 to rotate counterclockwise through the motor 10. At the same time, the rotating rod 11 rotates When the rotating rod 11 rotates, it drives the turntable 8 and the gear 13 at both ends to rotate in the same direction. The rotated turntable 8 drives the arc groove 9 to coincide with the circular holes on the water storage tank 3 and the spare water tank 7, thereby releasing the seals on the circular holes of the water storage tank 3 and the spare water tank 7. When the rotating rod 11 rotates, it also drives the protruding rod 16 to slide along the trajectory of the guide groove 12, thereby driving the square plate 15 to move toward the direction of the turntable 8 through the protruding rod 16, and then the square plate 15 squeezes the spare clean water inside the spare water tank 7 to flow into the inside of the water storage tank 3 through the circular groove, thereby replenishing the clean water inside the water storage tank 3, preventing the water replenishing device from stopping due to lack of water in the water storage tank 3, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of the operation of the steam disk body 2;

[0030] When the gear 13 rotates, it will also drive the tooth plate 14 to move toward the buzzer button 17, so that the tooth plate 14 squeezes the buzzer button 17, and then the buzzer makes a sound, thereby reminding personnel to replenish water inside the water tank 3, thereby improving the stability of the device operation.
