Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic cleaning equipment, in particular to a household cleaning machine water tank and a household cleaning machine. Background Art

[0002] When feeding babies, baby bottles are usually used. Since babies eat frequently, the bottles need to be cleaned after each use. Manual cleaning is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also has a poor cleaning effect. When using an ultrasonic cleaner to clean the bottles, only the bottles can be cleaned. The residual substances left after cleaning are likely to cause bacteria to grow, which poses certain safety risks when used.

[0003] The prior art cleaning machine can automatically clean the baby bottles and is very convenient to operate. The cleaning machine generally includes a water tank and a cleaning component, and the water tank supplies water to the cleaning component. However, the prior art water tank has an unreasonable structure, and it is very inconvenient to add water to the water tank. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides a household cleaning machine water tank and a household cleaning machine, aiming to solve the problems in the prior art of unreasonable water tank structure and inconvenient operation when adding water into the water tank.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A first aspect: A water tank for a household washing machine comprises a box body, a cavity is provided in the box body, an opening communicating with the cavity is further provided on the box body, and a box cover is further provided on the box body to cover the opening;

[0007] The box cover is rotatably connected to the box body, and the box cover includes an open state in which the opening is opened and a closed state in which the opening is closed. When the box cover is in the open state, the box cover is located on one side of the box body, and when the box cover is in the closed state, the box cover is located above the box body.

[0008] A further improved solution: a one-way valve for discharging water from the box is provided at the lower end of the box.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the one-way valve design ensures that water can only flow in one direction. That is, when drainage is required, water can be discharged smoothly through the one-way valve without backflow. Once the drainage operation is initiated, the one-way valve responds quickly, allowing water to flow through quickly, thereby improving drainage efficiency. The one-way valve's anti-backflow function effectively prevents external impurities or sewage from flowing back into the water tank, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the water inside the tank. Backflow during drainage can cause damage to the water tank and related equipment. The presence of the one-way valve prevents this from happening, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

[0010] A further improved solution: the one-way valve is arranged in the middle of the bottom wall of the box body, and a supporting ridge for supporting the box body is provided on the lower end of the box body. The supporting ridge is arranged around the one-way valve, and the lower end height of the one-way valve is not lower than the lower end height of the supporting ridge.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution: placing the one-way valve in the middle of the bottom wall and surrounding it with supporting ribs can ensure that the force applied to the water tank on the table is more balanced. This design helps prevent the water tank from tipping over or shaking due to a shift in its center of gravity. The presence of the supporting ribs provides an additional support point for the water tank, increasing the contact area between the water tank and the tabletop, thereby improving overall stability. Placing the one-way valve in the middle of the bottom wall and surrounding it with supporting ribs can, to a certain extent, protect the one-way valve from external collisions or extrusion, thereby extending its service life. When the one-way valve needs to be maintained or replaced, it can be operated more conveniently because it is located in the middle of the bottom wall and surrounded by supporting ribs.

[0012] A further improved solution: the distance between the outer side surface of the supporting edge and the outer side surface of the box body is greater than 0.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution: there is a certain distance between the supporting ribs and the box body, which can more effectively disperse the pressure and weight borne by the box body. This dispersion effect makes the overall structure of the box body more stable and able to withstand greater external loads. When subjected to external forces, the deformation of the box body will be suppressed to a certain extent due to the supporting effect of the supporting ribs. As the external supporting structure of the box body, the supporting ribs can effectively reduce the direct contact between the box body and the external environment. This helps to prevent the box body from being damaged by scratches, impacts, etc., thereby improving the durability of the box body. By enhancing structural stability and improving durability, the design of a distance between the supporting ribs and the box body that is greater than 0 can significantly extend the service life of the box body. This is especially important for boxes that need to be used for a long time and frequently moved.

[0014] A further improved solution: the box body is further provided with a handle for facilitating operation of the box body, and the handle is a groove recessed into the box body.

[0015] Based on the above technical solution: The design of the grooved handle allows the user to naturally fit the contours of the hand when grasping, reducing the contact area between the hand and the surface of the box, thereby improving the stability and comfort of the grip. This design conforms to ergonomic principles and makes operation more convenient. Because the handle is recessed, the user's hand can get better support and cushioning when grasping or carrying the box for a long time, reducing hand fatigue. The design of the grooved handle increases the friction between the hand and the box, making it less likely for the user to slip during transportation, thereby improving the safety of operation. When the box is subjected to external impact or collision, the recessed handle design can reduce direct damage to the hand and play a certain protective role.

[0016] A further improved solution: the box body is further provided with a gripping piece for easy gripping, the gripping piece spans the groove, and the gripping piece is located at the upper end of the groove, and a gripping space for accommodating fingers is formed between the gripping piece and the groove.

[0017] Based on the above technical solution: The design of the gripping plate fully considers the natural structure of the hand, especially the bending and positioning habits of the fingers. By spanning the groove and located at its upper end, the gripping plate provides a natural support point for the fingers, making the grip more comfortable and stable. The design of the gripping space allows the fingers to bend naturally and position themselves in the appropriate position, thereby reducing the pressure required by the hand during gripping. This design helps to reduce hand fatigue and improve the comfort of long-term gripping. The gripping space between the gripping plate and the groove provides additional friction for the fingers, making the grip more secure. This helps prevent slipping when carrying or moving the box, improving operational safety. The design of the gripping plate also takes into account hand protection. During transportation, if the box is subjected to external impact or collision, the gripping plate can disperse some of the impact force, reducing direct damage to the hand.

[0018] A further improved solution: a rotating shaft is provided on the box cover, the box cover is rotatably connected to the box body via the rotating shaft, and the box body is provided with an axial hole that cooperates with the rotating shaft.

[0019] Based on the above technical solution, the mating design of the shaft and the shaft hole allows the lid to rotate smoothly around the shaft, allowing the box to be opened and closed quickly. This design reduces resistance and inconvenience during opening and closing, improving operational efficiency. The tight fit between the shaft and the shaft hole ensures a stable connection between the lid and the box, preventing accidents caused by the lid loosening during transportation or use. The shaft design reduces the area of ​​direct contact between the lid and the box, thereby reducing the wear on the box caused by frequent opening and closing. This helps to extend the life of the box.

[0020] The second aspect: A household cleaning machine comprises a machine base and a water tank arranged on the machine base, wherein the water tank is the household cleaning machine water tank described in the first aspect.

[0021] A further improved solution: the machine base is provided with a bottom plate for positioning the water tank, the bottom plate is provided with a rear side plate, the bottom plate is also provided with a left side plate and a right side plate, the left side plate and the right side plate are both located in front of the rear side plate, the rear side plate, the left side plate and the right side plate form a positioning cavity for positioning the water tank, the left side plate and the right side plate are provided with guide ridges, and the water tank is provided with guide grooves that cooperate with the guide ridges.

[0022] Based on the above technical solution, the water tank is positioned on the machine base through the cooperation of guide grooves and guide ribs. This design makes removal and installation of the water tank simple and quick. When the water tank and machine base need to be cleaned, they can be easily removed from the base, thoroughly cleaned, and then reinstalled. This makes cleaning of the water tank and machine base very convenient, and the rear, left, and right panels, as well as the bottom plate, easy to clean. The design of the guide grooves and guide ribs not only simplifies the installation and removal of the water tank, but also reduces the contact area between the water tank and the machine base, thereby eliminating blind spots during cleaning. This helps ensure the cleanliness of the water tank and the surrounding area, improving overall hygiene. The cooperation of the guide grooves and guide ribs ensures the precise positioning of the water tank on the machine base. This design eliminates positional deviation during installation, ensuring the water tank is accurately installed in the intended position, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the water tank. During operation, the close cooperation of the guide grooves and guide ribs also reduces displacement of the water tank due to vibration. This helps maintain the stability and reliability of the water tank, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment. The positioning cavity formed by the bottom plate, rear side panel, left side panel, and right side panel provides solid support for the water tank. This design enhances the structural strength of the water tank, enabling it to withstand greater pressure and impact. The combination of guide grooves and guide ribs not only ensures precise positioning of the water tank but also physically prevents it from shaking during operation. This helps maintain the stability of the water tank and reduces noise and vibration caused by shaking.

[0023] A further improved solution: a drain nozzle for positioning the water tank and opening the one-way valve located on the water tank is further provided on the bottom plate, and the drain nozzle extends into the one-way valve.

[0024] Based on this technical solution, the drain nozzle on the baseplate extends directly into the one-way valve, allowing users to drain the water without having to directly touch the water tank or the one-way valve itself. This design simplifies the drainage process, reducing the number of steps and the number of tools required. With just a few simple operations, the user can automatically complete the drainage process, further enhancing operational convenience.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0026] This utility model pivots the lid onto the housing. When open, it sits on the side of the housing, rather than on top. This design allows users to easily add water to the water tank without having to remove it from the device or move it to a specific location. Simply tilting the lid sideways exposes the outlet, allowing for convenient water filling. The side-opening design provides ample operating space, making the water filling process smoother and more accessible.

[0027] The lid flexibly switches between open and closed positions. When closed, it tightly covers the opening, preventing dust and impurities from entering the chamber and maintaining clean water quality. When open, it facilitates water refilling. This design meets the needs of daily use while accommodating ease of cleaning and maintenance. The lid is pivotally connected to the body of the water tank, ensuring not only stability but also smooth opening and closing, reducing noise and wear.

[0028] The side-opening design of the tank lid also makes it easy for users to clean and maintain the inside of the water tank. Users can easily clean the water tank without having to disassemble the entire water tank, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
