[0027] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0028] The following is for reference. Figures 1-2 This application describes a detergent storage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The detergent storage device 100 can be applied to vehicles, washing machines, and other scenarios. This application uses the application of the detergent storage device 100 in a vehicle as an example for illustration.

[0029] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the washing liquid storage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a main washing tank 1, which is connected to a vehicle spraying device and is adapted to provide washing liquid to the spraying device; and at least one auxiliary washing tank 2, which is connected to the main washing tank 1 so that the washing liquid in the auxiliary washing tank 2 flows into the main washing tank 1.

[0030] The vehicle's spraying device can be configured as a windshield wiper spray system. The main washer reservoir 1 is connected to the vehicle's spraying device, for example, the main washer reservoir 1 and the spraying device can be directly connected, or they can be indirectly connected through a pipeline. The spraying device may include a motor. When a part of the vehicle (e.g., the windshield) needs to be cleaned, the motor starts working to drive the washer fluid from the main washer reservoir 1 to the spraying device, and then sprays it onto the target location through the spraying device, thereby achieving the effect of the main washer reservoir 1 providing washer fluid to the spraying device and cleaning the target location.

[0031] The detergent storage device 100 may include at least one auxiliary detergent reservoir 2, for example, there may be one, two or more auxiliary detergent reservoirs 2. The auxiliary detergent reservoir 2 is connected to the main detergent reservoir 1, for example, the auxiliary detergent reservoir 2 and the main detergent reservoir 1 can be connected through a connecting pipe 3, so that the detergent in the auxiliary detergent reservoir 2 can flow smoothly into the main detergent reservoir 1, thereby effectively increasing the volume of the detergent storage device 100, eliminating the need for frequent addition of detergent, and improving the convenience of vehicle cleaning.

[0032] Furthermore, the separate arrangement of the main wash tank 1 and the auxiliary wash tank 2 can reduce the space occupied by the wash liquid storage device 100 in the vehicle. This allows the main wash tank 1 and the auxiliary wash tank 2 to be arranged in different positions on the vehicle according to the actual situation, reducing the risk of interference between the wash liquid storage device 100 and other vehicle components, thereby improving the versatility and layout flexibility of the wash liquid storage device 100.

[0033] Specifically, the main wash tank 1 and the auxiliary wash tank 2 are respectively arranged in suitable positions on the vehicle and connected to each other via a connecting pipe 3. When the wash fluid is added, it flows sequentially through the main wash tank 1 and the connecting pipe 3 into the auxiliary wash tank 2 for storage, thereby increasing the volume of the wash fluid storage device 100. When the wash fluid is used, it flows from the auxiliary wash tank 2 into the main wash tank 1 through the connecting pipe 3. The main wash tank 1 is then connected to the vehicle's spraying device via a pipeline, allowing the wash fluid in both the main wash tank 1 and the auxiliary wash tank 2 to be sprayed onto the target location, achieving the effect of cleaning the target location on the vehicle.

[0034] Therefore, by setting at least one auxiliary wash tank 2, which is connected to the main wash tank 1, the volume of the wash liquid storage device 100 can be effectively increased, eliminating the need for frequent addition of wash liquid and improving the convenience of vehicle cleaning. Furthermore, the main wash tank 1 and the auxiliary wash tank 2 can be arranged in different locations on the vehicle, allowing the wash liquid storage device 100 to be arranged according to the actual situation of the vehicle, thereby improving the versatility and layout flexibility of the wash liquid storage device 100.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the detergent storage device 100 may further include: a connecting pipe 3, a main detergent tank 1 having a detergent inlet 11, a secondary detergent tank 2 having a detergent outlet 21, the connecting pipe 3 connecting the detergent inlet 11 and the detergent outlet 21, and the detergent outlet 21 being installed at a height higher than the detergent inlet 11.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, the connecting pipe 3 can be constructed as a rubber tube. In some embodiments of this application, the connecting pipe 3 can be constructed as a corrugated pipe made of plastic. The main wash tank 1 has a wash liquid inlet 11. As an example, the wash liquid inlet 11 can be formed on the side wall of the main wash tank 1 facing the auxiliary wash tank 2. The auxiliary wash tank 2 has a wash liquid outlet 21. As an example, the wash liquid outlet 21 can be formed on the side wall of the auxiliary wash tank 2 facing the main wash tank 1. This arrangement allows for a reasonable positioning of the wash liquid inlet 11 and the wash liquid outlet 21. When the connecting pipe 3 connects the wash liquid inlet 11 and the wash liquid outlet 21, so that the auxiliary wash tank 2 is connected to the main wash tank 1, the length of the connecting pipe 3 can be reduced, thereby reducing the production cost of the wash liquid storage device 100 and the space occupied in the vehicle.

[0037] As some embodiments of this application, the detergent inlet 11 and detergent outlet 21 can also be arranged in other positions of the main detergent tank 1 and the auxiliary detergent tank 2, so that the connecting pipe 3, the main detergent tank 1 and the auxiliary detergent tank 2 can be flexibly arranged according to the vehicle space, thereby further improving the arrangement flexibility of the detergent storage device 100.

[0038] The detergent outlet 21 is located near the bottom wall of the auxiliary washing tank 2, and the height of the detergent outlet 21 is higher than the height of the detergent inlet 11. During the use of detergent, it is beneficial for the detergent in the auxiliary washing tank 2 to flow into the main washing tank 1, reducing the risk of detergent accumulating in the auxiliary washing tank 2, thereby reducing the risk that detergent is present in the auxiliary washing tank 2 but cannot be used.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, connecting pipe 3 is a flexible hose.

[0040] The connecting pipe 3 can be constructed as a flexible hose, for example, it can be constructed as a rubber hose or a corrugated pipe made of plastic. This configuration makes the structure of the connecting pipe 3 reasonable. Since the arrangement of parts in the vehicle's layout space is relatively complex, constructing the connecting pipe 3 as a flexible hose allows the connecting pipe 3 to be flexibly bent and arranged as needed, so that the connecting pipe 3 can reliably avoid other parts of the vehicle, further improving the flexibility of the arrangement of the wash liquid storage device 100.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, the outer surface of the connecting pipe 3 is provided with a heat insulation layer (not shown in the figure).

[0042] The connecting pipe 3 may be provided with an insulation layer, which may be disposed on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 3. In some embodiments of this application, the insulation layer may be constructed of glass wool. In some embodiments of this application, the insulation layer may be constructed of foam board. Since the washing liquid flows from the auxiliary washing tank 2 to the main washing tank 1 through the connecting pipe 3, washing liquid may remain inside the connecting pipe 3. By providing an insulation layer on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 3, the risk of the residual washing liquid freezing inside the connecting pipe 3 at low temperatures can be reduced. This reduces the risk of the washing liquid freezing and causing poor flow or even cracking of the connecting pipe 3, thus improving the service life of the connecting pipe 3 and consequently enhancing the reliability of the washing liquid storage device 100.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the main washing tank 1 has a filling hole 12, through which washing liquid is added to the main washing tank 1.

[0044] The addition of a filling hole 12 allows for the addition of detergent to the main washing tank 1, facilitating timely replenishment and improving convenience. Compared to a main washing tank 1 without a filling hole 12, adding detergent through the filling hole 12 allows for multiple uses of the main washing tank 1, reducing the risk of increased operating costs due to direct replacement of the main washing tank 1. The filling hole 12 can be formed on the top wall of the main washing tank 1, ensuring a reasonable position. When detergent is injected through the filling hole 12 on the top wall of the main washing tank 1, it falls to the bottom of the main washing tank 1 under gravity, effectively filling the tank and increasing the detergent storage capacity while reducing the frequency of replenishment.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the detergent storage device 100 may further include a filling pipe 4, which is connected to the filling hole 12 to fill detergent into the main washing pot 1 through the filling pipe 4.

[0046] The main wash tank 1 is usually located in the inner part of the vehicle. By setting up a filling pipe 4, one end of the filling pipe 4 is connected to the filling hole 12. Users can add washing liquid into the main wash tank 1 through the other end of the filling pipe 4. The washing liquid flows through the filling pipe 4 and through the filling hole 12 to the main wash tank 1, which can reduce the difficulty of adding washing liquid into the main wash tank 1, thereby improving the filling efficiency of washing liquid.

[0047] As some embodiments of this application, the filling pipe 4 can be constructed as a flexible pipe so that the filling pipe 4 can be flexibly bent and arranged as needed, thereby allowing the filling pipe 4 to reliably avoid other parts of the vehicle, which is beneficial for the user to smoothly add washing liquid into the main washing tank 1 through the filling pipe 4.

[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, a filling hole 12 is formed on the top wall of the main washing pot 1.

[0049] The filling hole 12 can be formed on the top wall of the main washing tank 1. This arrangement allows for a reasonable positioning of the filling hole 12. When the washing liquid is injected through the filling hole 12 on the top wall of the main washing tank 1, the washing liquid falls to the bottom of the main washing tank 1 under the action of gravity, thereby gradually accumulating the washing liquid from the bottom of the main washing tank 1 until it is full. Compared with setting the filling hole 12 in other positions of the main washing tank 1, forming the filling hole 12 on the top wall of the main washing tank 1 is beneficial to filling the space inside the main washing tank 1 with washing liquid, thereby further increasing the storage capacity of washing liquid and reducing the frequency of adding washing liquid.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the filling tube 4 may include: a tube body 42 and a filling head 43. The filling head 43 has a filling port 431. The two ends of the tube body 42 are respectively connected to the filling head 43 and the filling hole 12 to communicate the filling port 431 and the filling hole 12.

[0051] The tube body 42 has two opposing ends. One end of the tube body 42 is connected to the filling head 43, which has a filling port 431 located at the end of the filling head 43 facing away from the tube body 42. The other end of the tube body 42 is connected to the filling hole 12, thus connecting the tube body 42 between the filling head 43 and the filling hole 12, thereby achieving the effect of connecting the filling port 431 and the filling hole 12. Because the tube body 42 is relatively flexible, the filling head 43 reduces the difficulty for users to grip it.

[0052] Specifically, when adding detergent to the main wash tank 1, the user can grasp the filling head 43 and inject detergent into the filling port 431. After entering the filling port 431, the detergent flows along the pipe body 42 and enters the main wash tank 1 through the filling hole 12. As some embodiments of this application, the filling head 43 may have an assembly part 432, which has an assembly hole 433. When adding detergent to the main wash tank 1, the user can also grasp the assembly part 432 to further reduce the difficulty of adding detergent. When it is not necessary to add detergent to the main wash tank 1, the assembly part 432 can be hung on a suitable position on the vehicle through the assembly hole 433, so that the filling head 43 and the pipe body 42 are set in a suitable position on the vehicle, reducing the risk of noise caused by the filling head 43 moving randomly when the vehicle is in motion. Furthermore, the filling head 43 can also be fixed to a suitable position on the vehicle via the assembly part 432, reducing the risk of increased filling difficulty due to the need to hold the filling head 43 when filling the washing fluid, thereby improving the filling efficiency of the washing fluid.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, a first vent 22 is formed on the top wall of the auxiliary washing pot 2.

[0054] The auxiliary washing tank 2 has a first vent 22. Since the washing liquid in the auxiliary washing tank 2 is added through the main washing tank 1 and the connecting pipe 3, the first vent 22 can balance the air pressure inside and outside the auxiliary washing tank 2. When the washing liquid is added, the gas inside the auxiliary washing tank 2 can be discharged through the first vent 22, so that the washing liquid can smoothly enter the auxiliary washing tank 2 and reduce the risk of poor washing liquid filling.

[0055] The first vent 22 is formed on the top wall of the auxiliary washing pot 2. This arrangement allows the first vent 22 to be positioned reasonably. Since the density of gas is less than that of washing liquid, by placing the first vent 22 on the top wall of the washing pot, the first vent 22 can be placed at the highest point of the auxiliary washing pot 2, which is conducive to the complete discharge of gas in the auxiliary washing pot 2, thereby filling the auxiliary washing pot 2 with washing liquid, which is conducive to further increasing the storage capacity of washing liquid and making full use of the space inside the auxiliary washing pot 2.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the detergent storage device 100 may further include: a filling pipe 4 and an exhaust pipe 5. The filling pipe 4 is connected to the main washing tank 1 to add detergent into the main washing tank 1 through the filling pipe 4. The filling pipe 4 forms a second exhaust port 41. The exhaust pipe 5 is connected to the first exhaust port 22 and the second exhaust port 41.

[0057] The main wash tank 1 is usually located in the inner part of the vehicle. By setting up a filling pipe 4, one end of the filling pipe 4 is connected to the filling hole 12. Users can add washing liquid into the main wash tank 1 through the other end of the filling pipe 4. The washing liquid flows through the filling pipe 4 and through the filling hole 12 to the main wash tank 1, which can reduce the difficulty of adding washing liquid into the main wash tank 1, thereby improving the filling efficiency of washing liquid.

[0058] As some embodiments of this application, the filling pipe 4 can be constructed as a flexible pipe so that the filling pipe 4 can be flexibly bent and arranged as needed, thereby allowing the filling pipe 4 to reliably avoid other parts of the vehicle, which is beneficial for the user to smoothly add washing liquid into the main washing tank 1 through the filling pipe 4.

[0059] The filling pipe 4 may have a second vent 41. The second vent 41 is located near the end of the filling pipe 4 away from the main wash tank 1. The vent pipe 5 connects the first vent 22 and the second vent 41. When the wash fluid is added, the gas in the auxiliary wash tank 2 can be discharged from the auxiliary wash tank 2 through the first vent 22 and flow to the second vent 41 through the vent pipe 5, thereby being discharged to the outside of the vehicle. This reduces the risk of rust on the parts near the auxiliary wash tank 2 caused by the humid gas in the auxiliary wash tank 2 being directly discharged from the first vent 22, thereby extending the service life of the vehicle.

[0060] As some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main washer reservoir 1 can be equipped with a water pump 13. By setting the water pump 13, the washer fluid can be powered. When the target location of the vehicle needs to be cleaned, the water pump 13 can be turned on. The water pump 13 can pump the washer fluid into the spraying device (e.g., the windshield washer spray device) so that the washer fluid has enough power to be sprayed to the target location, thereby improving the reliability of the washer fluid storage device 100.

[0061] The vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the detergent storage device 100 described in the above embodiment. By providing at least one auxiliary detergent tank 2, which is connected to the main detergent tank 1, the volume of the detergent storage device 100 can be effectively increased, eliminating the need for frequent detergent replenishment and improving the convenience of vehicle cleaning. Furthermore, the main detergent tank 1 and the auxiliary detergent tank 2 can be arranged in different locations on the vehicle, allowing the detergent storage device 100 to be arranged according to the actual conditions of the vehicle, thereby improving the versatility and layout flexibility of the detergent storage device 100.
