[0048] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0049] In this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, electrical connection, or communication; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise specified. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on specific circumstances.

In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art can combine and combine different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of different embodiments or examples without contradiction.

[0052] In related technologies, a cleaning system can be formed by a cleaning base station and a cleaning host. The cleaning host can be a device that automatically cleans a certain area to be cleaned, and the cleaning base station can be used to maintain the cleaning host, such as charging and rehydrating the cleaning host. When the cleaning host begins working, it can depart from the cleaning base station and perform the corresponding cleaning task. When the cleaning host completes the cleaning task or needs to terminate the cleaning task, it can return to the cleaning base station to perform at least one or more of the following tasks: charging, rehydrating, and cleaning.

[0053] The cleaning system can be a mopping robot or a sweeping and mopping robot equipped with a cleaning base station capable of mopping or sweeping and mopping functions, and the corresponding cleaning host can be a mopping robot host or a sweeping and mopping robot host. Accordingly, the cleaning base station can be used to provide maintenance services such as charging and rehydration for the mopping robot host or the sweeping and mopping robot host.

[0054] It can be understood that the above-mentioned cleaning base station includes a liquid storage container 100, and the liquid storage container 100 has a liquid storage cavity 1102, and the liquid storage cavity 1102 is used to store an appropriate amount of liquid.

[0055] The liquid stored in the liquid storage container 100 is generally municipal water, that is, tap water. When tap water is stored in the liquid storage container 100 for a long time, scale will be generated and accumulated in the liquid storage cavity 1102. When scale accumulates on the inner wall 1101 of the liquid storage container 100, it will increase the difficulty of cleaning the liquid storage container 100; when scale accumulates on certain components and pipelines in the liquid storage container 100, it will have a certain impact on the normal operation of the relevant components and pipelines, and will reduce the service life of the relevant components, and thus have a certain impact on the stable operation of the cleaning equipment. In order to solve the above problems and ensure the water supply quality of the liquid storage container 100, it is necessary to arrange a water treatment mechanism that can realize the scale prevention function in the liquid storage container 100 to prevent the generation of scale to at least a certain extent and improve the scale accumulation in the liquid storage cavity 1102.

[0056] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the container 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 This is a top view of the container 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the container 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 This is a front view of the container 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 for Figure 4 In the AA section view, Figure 6 for Figure 4 BB section view in.

[0057] See also Figure 1-Figure 3The container 10 includes a container body 11, within which a scale inhibitor release mechanism is housed. When the container body 11 is placed within a container body 110 having a liquid storage chamber 1102, the scale inhibitor release mechanism within the container body 11 can inhibit the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 1102 from scaling, thereby suppressing the formation or accumulation of scale within the liquid storage chamber 1102.

[0058] The scale inhibition function of the container 10 can be achieved by a scale inhibitor releasing mechanism located within the container body 11. In some embodiments, the scale inhibitor releasing mechanism can be disposed within the container body 11, and the container body 11 can be placed within the liquid storage cavity 1102 of the container body 110, so that the scale inhibitor releasing mechanism within the container body 11 can exert its scale inhibition function.

[0059] Specifically, a proper amount of clean water is stored in the liquid storage cavity 1102 of the container body 110 , and the receiving box 10 is immersed in the clean water to perform scale prevention treatment on the clean water.

[0060] In order to ensure that the scale inhibitor release mechanism located in the container box 10 can fully contact the clean water in the liquid storage chamber 1102, in some embodiments, a through hole 12 is provided on the box body 11 of the container box 10 to connect the internal and external spaces of the box body 11.

[0061] When the container 10 is immersed in clean water, the through hole 12 connects the liquid storage chamber 1102 with the scale inhibitor release mechanism within the container body 11. Liquid, such as clean water, within the liquid storage chamber 1102 can flow through the through hole 12 into the container body 11 and come into contact with the scale inhibitor release mechanism within the container body 11. The scale inhibitor release mechanism releases the scale inhibitor into the clean water. The scale inhibitor acts on the clean water, inhibiting scaling, thereby preventing scale formation within the liquid storage chamber 1102 and reducing scale accumulation within the liquid storage chamber 1102.

[0062] The scale inhibitor released by the scale inhibitor releasing mechanism can diffuse into the liquid storage chamber 1102 through the through hole 12 .

[0063] Specifically, the antiscalant releasing mechanism can be wrapped by a mesh wrapping structure and placed in the box body 11 .

[0064] Specifically, in some embodiments, the scale inhibitor released by the scale inhibitor releasing mechanism may be an inorganic scale inhibitor and / or an organic scale inhibitor.

[0065] In practical applications, inorganic scale inhibitors can be polyphosphates or phosphonates. Inorganic scale inhibitors can prevent scale formation by forming complexes or chelating with ions in water. Organic scale inhibitors can be carboxylic acid polymers, such as polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polymaleic acid (PMA). These substances can prevent scale by interfering with normal crystal growth and causing lattice distortion. Organic scale inhibitors can also be sulfonic acid polymers, such as sodium polystyrene sulfonate (PSS), which can use sulfonic acid groups to chelate with calcium and magnesium ions to prevent scale formation. Organic scale inhibitors can also be phosphorus-containing organic polymers, such as phosphonocarboxylic acid copolymers (POCA), which combine the advantages of phosphonic acid and carboxylic acid.

[0066] Specifically, in some embodiments, the scale inhibitor may also be a natural scale inhibitor, such as lignin, humic acid, etc.

[0067] Of course, the above-mentioned scale inhibitor may also be a mixture of the above-mentioned various types of scale inhibitors or other products with sufficient effects, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0068] In some embodiments, the container box 10 may be directly placed in the container body 110 having the liquid storage cavity 1102 , or may be disposed in the liquid storage cavity 1102 via a related structure located in the liquid storage cavity 1102 .

[0069] When the storage box 10 is placed directly in the liquid storage chamber 1102, the storage box 10 can be directly arranged on the inner bottom wall 11011 of the liquid storage chamber 1102 or on the inner side wall 11012 of the liquid storage chamber 1102 and close to the inner bottom wall 11011 of the liquid storage chamber 1102. At this time, it can be ensured to the greatest extent that the storage box 10 can be immersed in clean water and the scale inhibitor release mechanism located in the storage box 10 can continuously act on the clean water in the liquid storage chamber 1102, thereby exerting a better scale inhibition effect.

[0070] It should be noted that if the storage box 10 is located on the side of the liquid storage chamber 1102 away from the inner bottom wall 11011, when the liquid level in the liquid storage chamber 1102 drops to a certain level, there is a possibility that the clean water will not be able to contact the scale inhibitor release mechanism in the storage box 10, thereby affecting the scale inhibitor release mechanism from performing its scale inhibition function.

[0071] In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the container 10 can be firmly disposed in the liquid storage cavity 1102 , a limiting member needs to be provided on the inner wall 1101 of the liquid storage cavity 1102 , and the container 10 is disposed on the inner wall 1101 of the liquid storage cavity 1102 through the limiting member.

[0072] Specifically, the inner wall 1101 of the liquid storage cavity 1102 includes an inner bottom wall 11011 and an inner side wall 11012. The above-mentioned limiting member can be provided on the inner bottom wall 11011 and / or the inner side wall 11012. The box body is provided on the inner wall 1101 of the liquid storage cavity 1102 by cooperating with the limiting member.

[0073] In some embodiments, the limiting member may be a limiting buckle, and the box body may be positioned between the limiting buckle and the inner wall 1101 under the limiting action of the limiting buckle. The structure of the limiting buckle may be a buckle structure disclosed in the related art.

[0074] In other embodiments, a mounting portion 13 may be provided on the box body 11 of the accommodating box 10 .

[0075] Specifically, the mounting portion 13 can cooperate with the above-mentioned limiting member, and the box body 11 can be arranged on the inner wall 1101 of the liquid storage cavity 1102 through the mounting portion 13.

[0076] Specifically, when the limiting member is a limiting buckle, the mounting portion 13 can be a limiting groove that matches it; when the limiting member is a magnetic member with magnetic attraction, the above-mentioned mounting portion 13 can be another magnetic member with opposite magnetic properties to the magnetic member, or a magnetic member that can be adsorbed by the magnetic member (such as an iron sheet, etc.).

[0077] In order to reduce the processing difficulty of the container body 110 having the liquid storage cavity 1102 and simplify the structure of the container body 110, in some embodiments, the mounting portion 13 provided on the box body 11 of the accommodating box 10 can be connected to the pipe member 120 located in the liquid storage cavity 1102.

[0078] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 The box body 11 is a columnar structure, and a mounting hole 131 is provided in the middle thereof, which passes through the box body 11 . The box body 11 can be installed in the liquid storage cavity 1102 of the container body 110 through the mounting hole 131 .

[0079] A pipe member 120 is provided in the liquid storage cavity 1102 of the container body 110 , and the box body 11 can be sleeved on the pipe member 120 through the installation through-hole 131 .

[0080] Specifically, the box body 11 can be sleeved on the pipe member 120 through the mounting hole 131 along the extension direction of the pipe member 120 (i.e., the axial direction of the pipe member 120 ). At this time, the height direction of the box body 11 coincides with the axial direction of the pipe member 120 .

[0081] By sleeve-mounting the container body 111 on the conduit member 120, not only can the area occupied by the container body 10 on the inner wall 1101 of the liquid storage chamber 1102 be reduced, but the need for machining and mounting structures on the inner wall 1101 of the liquid storage chamber 1102 can also be avoided, thereby simplifying the structure of the container body 110 and reducing the difficulty of machining the container body 110. In addition, this arrangement also helps to reduce the difficulty of replacing the container body 110, making it convenient for users to replace the container body 110 according to actual conditions.

[0082] Specifically, there is a clearance fit between the mounting through-hole 131 of the box body 11 and the pipe member 120 . When the box body 11 is mounted on the pipe member 120 , the box body 11 can slide within a certain range along the axial direction of the pipe member 120 .

[0083] In some embodiments, the box body 11 includes a top wall 101 and a bottom wall 102 arranged opposite to each other along the first direction X, and the mounting through-hole 131 includes a first through-hole 1311 provided on the top wall 101 and a second through-hole 1312 provided on the bottom wall 102 .

[0084] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 The first direction X is the height direction of the box body 11 , and the mounting holes 131 are respectively set through the top wall 101 and the bottom wall 102 of the box body 11 .

[0085] For details, please refer to Figure 4-Figure 5 The box body 11 further includes a first side wall 103 and a second side wall 104 connecting the top wall 101 and the bottom wall 102 , wherein the first side wall 103 is located outside the second side wall 104 and is spaced apart from the second side wall 104 .

[0086] The second side wall 104 is a hollow columnar structure, enclosing the mounting through hole 131. The first through hole 1311 provided on the top wall 101 and the second through hole 1312 provided on the bottom wall 102 are respectively located at the two ends of the second side wall 104 in the first direction. Figure 5 The top wall 101 , the bottom wall 102 , the first side wall 103 and the second side wall 104 enclose a receiving cavity 105 , the scale inhibitor release mechanism is disposed in the receiving cavity 105 , and the through hole 12 is disposed in the first side wall 103 .

[0087] When the box body 11 is mounted on the pipe member 120 through the mounting hole 131, the second side wall 104 wraps around the outer wall of the pipe member 120, and the first side wall 103 is located outside the second side wall 104. The through hole 12 provided on the first side wall 103 can better guide the clean water in the liquid storage chamber 1102 to flow into the box body 11.

[0088] The through holes 12 provided on the first side wall 103 can be circular holes or strip-shaped holes. The strip-shaped holes on the first side wall 103 can extend in the same direction or in different directions. Due to the difficulty of processing, half of the strip-shaped holes are arranged to extend in the same direction.

[0089] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 There is an angle between the straight line where the extension direction of the strip-shaped hole on the first side wall 103 is located and the straight line where the height direction (ie, the first direction) of the box body 11 is located. At this time, the above-mentioned strip-shaped through hole 12 is tilted relative to the first side wall 103.

[0090] In some embodiments, the through holes 12 are multiple in number. These through holes 12 are distributed along at least a portion of the first sidewall 103 of the box body 11 to maximize the through-hole area connecting the accommodating chamber 105 with the external space. When the accommodating chamber 10 is located within the liquid storage chamber 1102, the larger the through-hole area 12 has, the more effective the scale inhibitor release mechanism within the accommodating chamber 105 of the box body 11 is in applying clean water to the liquid storage chamber 1102.

[0091] Specifically, the columnar box body 11 can be a cylindrical structure, an elliptical cylindrical structure, a polygonal prism structure, a frustum structure, etc. Taking the box body 11 as a quadrangular prism structure as an example, the projection of the box body 11 in the height direction can be a rectangle or a rounded rectangle, see Figure 2 Of course, when the box body 11 is a cylindrical structure, its projection in the height direction is a circle; when the box body 11 is an elliptical cylindrical structure, its projection in the height direction is an ellipse.

[0092] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6 The first side wall 103 of the box body 11 includes a first wall 1031, a second wall 1032, a third wall 1033, and a fourth wall 1034, which are connected end to end. The connection between any two adjacent side walls is a rounded arc surface. The through hole 12 can be provided in at least one of the first wall 1031, the second wall 1032, the third wall 1033, and the fourth wall 1034.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first wall 1031 and the third wall 1033 are both provided with through holes 12, and the through holes 12 are all strip-shaped holes. Specifically, some of the strip-shaped holes on the first wall 1031 and the third wall 1033 have the same length, while others have different lengths.

[0094] In some embodiments, part of the through hole 12 is located on the side of the first side wall 103 close to the bottom wall 102, so that the minimum distance between the through hole 12 and the bottom wall 102 is as small as possible, thereby ensuring that the scale inhibitor release mechanism located in the accommodating chamber 105 acts on the clean water in the liquid storage chamber 1102 for as long as possible.

[0095] In some embodiments, the box body 11 includes a cover 112 and a box body 111 connected to each other.

[0096] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 The above-mentioned cover body 112 and box body 111 can be arranged and connected in sequence along the height direction of the box body 11. At this time, the cover body 112 provides the above-mentioned top wall 101, the box body 111 provides the above-mentioned bottom wall 102, and at least one of the cover body 112 and the box body 111 provides the first side wall 103 and the second side wall 104.

[0097] For details, please refer to Figure 3 The box body 111 provides the above-mentioned first side wall 103 and the second side wall 104, and forms an opening between the first side wall 103 and the second side wall 104. The cover body 112 is connected to the box body 111 and covers the above-mentioned opening. At this time, the cover and the box body 111 enclose the above-mentioned accommodating cavity 105.

[0098] In other embodiments, the cover body 112 may provide the first side wall 103 or the second side wall 104, the box body 111 may provide the second side wall 104 or the first side wall 103, and the cover body 112 and the box body 111 may enclose the accommodating cavity 105; or, the cover body 112 may provide part of the first side wall 103 and part of the second side wall 104, the box body 111 may provide the remaining part of the first side wall 103 and the second side wall 104, and the cover body 112 and the box body 111 may enclose the accommodating cavity 105.

[0099] The accommodating cavity 105 can be in communication with the external environment via a through hole 12 provided on the first side wall 103 .

[0100] The box body 111 and the cover body 112 can be processed by separate molding and then directly fastened together or fixedly connected by other methods.

[0101] Specifically, the cover 112 and the box body 111 can be fixedly connected by gluing, ultrasonic welding, or the like.

[0102] Take the case where the cover 112 and the box body 111 are connected by ultrasonic welding as an example:

[0103] See also Figure 5The cover 112 has a partially raised surface on one side facing the box body 111, forming a first raised ring and a second raised ring. The first side wall 103 and the second side wall 104 of the box body 111, facing the cover 112, respectively form an annular step and a groove for mating with the first and second raised rings. When the cover 112 is placed on the box body 111, the first projection mates with the annular step and is connected by ultrasonic welding, while the second projection mates with the groove and is also connected by ultrasonic welding.

[0104] In other embodiments, the box body 111 and the cover body 112 may be detachably connected by means of snap fastening or the like.

[0105] In other embodiments, the cover body 112 may provide the bottom wall 102, and the box body 111 may provide the top wall 101 and the first side wall 103 and the second side wall 104; or, the cover body 112 may be located on a certain side of the box body 11 in the circumferential direction, in which case the cover body 112 provides part of the first side wall 103, and the box body 111 provides the top wall 101, the bottom wall 102, the second side wall 104 and part of the first side wall 103.

[0106] In some embodiments, the receiving box 10 may further include a partition plate.

[0107] Specifically, the partition plate is disposed in the accommodating cavity 105 and is used to separate the accommodating cavity 105 into at least two independent chambers, and any one of the independent chambers is connected to at least one through hole 12 .

[0108] At this time, the scale inhibitor releasing mechanism can be placed in different chambers in the same housing box 10, or the scale inhibitor releasing mechanism can be placed in a certain chamber, and water treatment mechanisms with other different functions, such as sterilization mechanisms, deodorization mechanisms, etc., can be placed in other chambers.

[0109] Specifically, the partition plate provided in the accommodating chamber 105 can separate a plurality of independent chambers arranged at intervals in a horizontal direction, or can separate a plurality of independent chambers arranged at intervals in a vertical direction. The location and manner of setting the partition plate can be selected as needed.

[0110] Taking the example of separating independent chambers arranged in a horizontal direction, at this time, each independent chamber is located at the same height, and the partition plate used to separate the chamber is constructed to extend from the inner side of the top wall 101 of the box body 11 to the inner side of the bottom wall 102 and is connected to the first side wall 103 and the second side wall 104 opposite to the box body 11 at both ends, so as to realize the horizontal spacing of each independent chamber.

[0111] Taking the example of separating independent chambers spaced apart along the vertical direction, there is a height difference between the independent chambers. The partition plate used to separate the chambers is constructed to extend along the horizontal plane to its peripheral side edge and connect with the first side wall 103 and the second side wall 104 of the box body 11, so as to realize the arrangement of the independent chambers spaced apart along the vertical direction.

[0112] In practical application, the partition plate can be integrally formed with the box body 11 by injection molding, 3D printing, etc. Of course, the partition plate can also be connected to the box body 11 by welding, hot melting, gluing, etc. after being separately molded.

[0113] Generally speaking, it is preferred to arrange the independent chambers in a horizontally spaced arrangement. When the container 10 is placed in the liquid storage container 100, since there is no height difference between the independent chambers, as the liquid level in the liquid storage container 100 continuously decreases or increases, the independent chambers can remain simultaneously immersed in the liquid or simultaneously exposed relative to the liquid surface. This ensures that the liquid in the liquid storage container 100 can fully utilize the water treatment mechanisms located in the different independent chambers in the container 10, achieving sufficient treatment of the liquid in the liquid storage container 100.

[0114] It is understood that the container box 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used within a liquid storage container 100. The through hole 12 connects the container chamber 105 with the liquid storage chamber 1102 of the liquid storage container 100, allowing the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 1102 to flow through the through hole 12 into the container chamber 105 and contact the scale inhibitor release mechanism. The scale inhibitor release mechanism located within the container chamber 105 can exert its scale inhibition function in an infiltrated state, improving the scaling condition within the liquid storage chamber 1102. Furthermore, the container box 10 can be connected to the pipe member 120 located within the liquid storage chamber 1102 via the mounting hole 131, which helps reduce the area occupied by the container box 10 on the inner wall 1101 of the liquid storage chamber 1102, making it easier to install and replace the container box 10, and thus optimizing the user experience.

[0115] Figure 7 This is a schematic structural diagram of a liquid storage container 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the installation position of the pipe member 120 in the liquid storage chamber 1102 of the liquid storage container 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 9 This is a cross-sectional view of the liquid storage container 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0116] See also Figure 7 The liquid storage container 100 includes a storage box 10 and a container body 110 , wherein the container body 110 has an inner wall 1101 and a liquid storage cavity 1102 enclosed by the inner wall 1101 , and the storage box 10 is located in the liquid storage cavity 1102 .

[0117] The liquid storage container 100 can achieve scale prevention treatment for the liquid in the liquid storage container 100 through the containing box 10 located in the liquid storage cavity 1102. On the one hand, the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 1102 can be treated to have the advantage of not being easy to scale. At the same time, it can also make it difficult for scale to accumulate in the liquid storage container 100, which helps to reduce the maintenance difficulty of the liquid storage container 100, avoid scale corrosion of related devices in the liquid storage container 100, and extend the service life of each component in the liquid storage container 100.

[0118] Specifically, when placing the container box 10 within the liquid storage chamber 1102, the container box 10 can be positioned directly within the liquid storage chamber 1102, as described above. Alternatively, a conduit 120 can be provided on the container body 110, with at least a portion of the conduit 120 positioned within and communicating with the liquid storage chamber 1102, and the container box 10 sleeved onto the conduit 120. In this case, the container box 10 can treat the liquid within the liquid storage chamber 1102 to prevent scale from condensing. Since the conduit 120 communicates with the liquid storage chamber 1102, the container box 10 can also help prevent scale from condensing within the conduit 120, reducing the possibility of scale contamination and clogging of the conduit 120.

[0119] Similarly, the container 10 can also help prevent scale from forming on the surface of components that are located in the liquid storage chamber 1102 and can come into contact with the liquid, thereby reducing the difficulty of maintaining the related components and making them more reliable and durable.

[0120] See also Figure 7 and Figure 9 The receiving box 10 has the aforementioned mounting through-hole 131 , and the receiving box 10 is sleeved on the pipe member 120 through the mounting through-hole 131 .

[0121] The container box 10 is mounted on the pipe member 120 along its axial direction through the mounting holes 131. The mounting holes 131 and the pipe member 120 are fitted with a clearance fit. Once mounted on the pipe member 120, the container box 10 can slide relative to the pipe member 120 within a certain range along its axial direction.

[0122] One end of the pipe member 120 inserted into the liquid storage cavity 1102 is set as the liquid inlet end 121. In some embodiments, the liquid inlet end 121 is set close to the inner bottom wall 11011 of the liquid storage cavity 1102, and the storage box 10 mounted on the pipe member 120 is located on the side of the liquid inlet end 121 facing away from the inner bottom wall 11011.

[0123] In order to ensure that the storage box 10 and the pipe member 120 can be firmly connected and prevent the end of the storage box 10 inserted from the pipe member 120 into the liquid storage cavity 1102 from falling off relative to the pipe member 120, in some embodiments, the liquid inlet end 121 of the pipe member 120 is provided with a detachable connection with other structures located in the liquid storage cavity 1102 to achieve the limitation of the storage box 10.

[0124] Specifically, the pipe member 120 can be a liquid inlet pipe for injecting clean water into the liquid storage chamber 1102, or a liquid discharge pipe for extracting liquid from the liquid storage chamber 1102. The pipe member 120 is described below as a liquid discharge pipe.

[0125] The container body 110 is further provided with a filter 130, which is located in the liquid storage cavity 1102 and communicates with the liquid storage cavity 1102. The pipe 120 is detachably connected to the filter 130 by inserting the liquid inlet end 121 into the liquid storage cavity 1102. Figure 8 .

[0126] The receiving box 10 sleeved on the pipe member 120 can be moved relative to the pipe member 120 to above the filter member 130 under the action of gravity and be disposed close to the filter member 130 .

[0127] Specifically, the filter element 130 is used to filter the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 1102 to remove impurities in the water.

[0128] The filter element 130 can be fixedly arranged on the inner bottom wall 11011 of the liquid storage chamber 1102 or the circumferential inner side wall 11012 close to the inner bottom wall 11011. The filter element 130 includes a hollow shell and a filtering sponge, fiber cotton, etc. located in the hollow shell.

[0129] The above-mentioned pipe member 120 is arranged near an inner side wall 11012 on the circumference of the liquid storage chamber 1102, and a positioning buckle 1103 for limiting the filter element 130 is provided on the inner bottom wall 11011 of the liquid storage chamber 1102. One end of the positioning buckle 1103 is fixed on the inner bottom wall 11011, and the other end extends toward the top of the filter element 130 to limit the filter element 130 between the positioning buckle 1103 and the inner bottom wall 11011.

[0130] There are at least two positioning buckles 1103 and they are arranged opposite to each other.

[0131] The positioning buckle 1103 can be used to limit the position of the filter element 130, which has the advantages of simple structure and convenient positioning. The pipe member 120 is connected to the filter element 130 and the receiving box 10 through the liquid inlet end 121. At this time, the receiving box 10 is located on the side of the inner bottom wall 11011 of the filter element 130 facing away from the liquid storage chamber 1102.

[0132] When arranging the container 10, the pipe member 120 can be secured relative to the liquid storage chamber 1102 via the filter member 130 and the positioning buckle 1103, and the container 10 is disposed within the liquid storage chamber 1102 via the pipe member 120. This eliminates the need for additional structure within the liquid storage chamber 1102 for securing the container 10, thereby simplifying the structure of the container body 110 and reducing the difficulty of manufacturing the container body 110. Furthermore, this arrangement simplifies the difficulty of replacing the container 10, making it easier for users to replace the container 10 based on their needs.

[0133] In addition, since the axial length of the pipe member 120 is limited by the size of the container body 110, when the container body 110 has a sufficient height, at least two receiving boxes 10 can be sequentially mounted on the pipe member 120 according to water treatment requirements.

[0134] In some embodiments, the liquid storage container 100 further includes a flip cover 140 pivotally connected to the container body 110. The flip cover 140 can be opened or closed relative to the container body 110. When the flip cover 140 is opened relative to the container body 110, the user can conveniently clean the liquid storage cavity 1102 of the container body 110 and add clean water to the liquid storage cavity 1102.

[0135] It can be understood that the liquid storage container 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can overcome or improve the scale accumulation in the liquid storage cavity 1102 by means of the containing box 10 provided in the liquid storage cavity 1102, thereby reducing the impact that the scale may have on other components in the liquid storage cavity 1102, helping to reduce the maintenance difficulty of the liquid storage container 100 and extending the service life of other components in the liquid storage cavity 1102.

[0136] The present application also provides a cleaning base station (not shown), comprising the above-mentioned liquid storage container 100. The liquid storage container 100 is provided on the cleaning base station for providing cleaning liquid (including clean water, a mixture of clean water and detergent, etc.) to the cleaning base station.

[0137] The cleaning base station includes the aforementioned liquid storage container 100. Therefore, the beneficial effects of including any one or more of the aforementioned liquid storage containers 100 in the cleaning base station are not further elaborated here. Furthermore, the liquid storage container 100 of the cleaning base station is internally provided with a housing box 10, which effectively prevents scaling within the liquid storage container 100, thereby providing advantages such as stable operation and a long service life.

[0138] The present application also provides a cleaning system (not shown in the figure), including a cleaning host and the cleaning base station described above.

[0139] The cleaning system includes the above-mentioned cleaning base station, so the beneficial effects of the cleaning system including the above-mentioned cleaning base station are not repeated here.

[0140] The above description of the various embodiments tends to emphasize the differences between the various embodiments. The same or similar aspects can be referenced with each other and will not be repeated herein for the sake of brevity.

[0141] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
