[0047] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a cleaning device includes a base 11, a rotating seat 12, a body 13, a water tank 14, a roller 18, and a driver. The rotating seat 12 is rotatably mounted on the base 11, and its rotation axis is vertically oriented. The body 13 has a cavity 131 and is mounted on the base 11. A cover 15 is installed on the body 13 to open or close the cavity 131. The water tank 14 has a water trough 141 and is installed inside the cavity 131. When the cleaning device is working, the cavity 131 can cover the opening of the water trough 141 to prevent water from splashing out of the cavity 131. The water tank 14 is provided with a drain pipe 16 communicating with the water trough 141. When the cleaning device completes washing or dehydration, the wastewater in the water tank 14 is discharged from the drain pipe 16. A solenoid valve 17 is installed on the drain pipe 16. The solenoid valve 17 is closed when the cleaning device is washing clothes and is opened when the cleaning device completes washing or dehydration. The drum 18 is rotatably installed inside the water tank 141, and the washing of clothes is achieved by the rotation of the drum 18. The drum 18 has a clothes trough 181 and multiple spaced water holes 182. The clothes trough 181 is used to hold clothes, and the multiple water holes 182 are spaced apart along the inner wall of the clothes trough 181. The clothes trough 181 is connected to the water tank 141 through the water holes 182. After water is filled into the water tank 141, water can enter the clothes trough 181 through the water holes 182 to soak the clothes and achieve the washing of the clothes. After washing is completed, the water in the clothes trough 181 falls into the water tank 141 through the water holes 182. The driver is installed in the machine cavity 131 and is connected to the drum 18 for transmission. The driver is a motor, which is used to drive the drum 18 to rotate, so that the clothes are tumbled, rinsed, or dehydrated inside the drum 18. The base 11 has multiple drainage channels 111 spaced circumferentially along the rotating seat 12. These channels are arranged around the rotation axis of the rotating seat 12 to achieve drainage in different directions. The rotating seat 12 has a guide channel 121 located between the drainage channels 111. Each drainage channel 111 is located on the rotation path of the guide channel 121, and the drain pipe 16 connects to any of the drainage channels 111 through the guide channel 121. Each drainage channel 111 can be connected to an external drain hose. By driving the rotating seat 12 to rotate, the drain pipe 16 of the cleaning equipment can be switched through the guide channel 121 to connect to a drainage channel 111 in a different direction. This allows for changing the drainage direction of the cleaning equipment, facilitating the installation of drain hoses to connect to the drain pipes according to their location. This reduces the length of the drain hoses, lowers the risk of damage due to excessive bending, improves the convenience of using the cleaning equipment, and saves on operating costs.For example, when the drain pipe is located on the left side of the body 13, the drive rotating seat 12 rotates so that the drain pipe 16 is connected to the left rear-extending drain channel 111 through the guide channel 121. The left-extending drain channel 111 can be connected to an external drain hose to discharge to the drain pipe located on the left side, thereby reducing the length of the drain hose. The external drain hose does not need to bend behind the body 13 to the left side of the body 13, reducing the risk of damage caused by excessive bending of the drain hose.
[0048] In one embodiment, the base 11 is provided with a plurality of connectors 19, each corresponding to a plurality of drainage channels 111. Installing the connectors 19 on the base 11 facilitates the installation and connection of the drainage hose.
[0049] Optionally, each connector 19 includes an outer connector 191 and an inner connector 192; one end of the outer connector 191 is slidably connected to one end of the inner connector 192, and the other end of the inner connector 192 is inserted into the drainage channel 111. The outer connector 191 can slide relative to the inner connector 192 to adjust the length of the connector 19.
[0050] Furthermore, the outer connector 191 is fitted onto the inner connector 192 and threadedly connected to it. Rotation allows the outer connector 191 to slide relative to the inner connector 192, enabling length adjustment of the connector 19. The diameter of the drain channel 111 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the outer connector 191. Unused connectors 19 can be shortened and stored within the drain channel 111, preventing them from being exposed. The inner connector 192 passes through the drain channel 111 and engages with the guide channel 121. The inner connector 192 abuts against the inner wall of the guide channel 121, securing it to the rotating seat 12 and preventing leakage at the connection between the drain channel 111 and the guide channel 121.
[0051] Optionally, the flow channel 121 includes a first section 122 and a second section 123. The first section 122 and the second section 123 are connected sequentially along the radial direction of the rotating seat 12. The second section 123 is connected to the drain pipe 16. The inner pipe 192 passes through the drain channel 111 and is inserted into the first section 122. The diameter of the first section 122 gradually decreases along the direction closer to the second section 123, making the engagement between the inner pipe 192 and the rotating seat 12 more secure.
[0052] In one embodiment, the cleaning equipment further includes a water supply pipe 20 and a water inlet valve 21. Both the roller 18 and the water tank 14 are cylindrical, and their axes are horizontally arranged. The water supply pipe 20 is installed on the outer circumferential side of the water tank 14 and communicates with the water trough 141 through the water inlet valve 21. The water inlet valve 21 is located above the roller 18, and the drain pipe 16 is connected to the outer circumferential side of the water tank 14 and located below the roller 18. Water can be injected into the water trough 141 of the water tank 14 through the water supply pipe 20 and the water inlet valve 21.
[0053] Optionally, the opening of the water tank 141 is provided with an extension ring 142. The extension ring 142 extends along the axis of the roller 18 and abuts against the inner wall of the clothes tank 181, thereby improving the sealing between the roller 18 and the water bucket 14 and preventing water leakage between the opening of the water tank 141 and the opening of the clothes tank 181.
[0054] Furthermore, the roller 18 has a first hook 183 extending along the axis close to the roller 18, and the extension ring 142 has a second hook 143 extending along the axis away from the roller 18. The first hook 183 and the second hook 143 engage with each other. Both the first hook 183 and the second hook 143 are L-shaped and are made of elastic materials such as rubber. The engagement of the first hook 183 and the second hook 143 achieves a tight connection, further improving the seal between the roller 18 and the bucket 14.
[0055] In one embodiment, the base 11 has a first side 112, a rear side 113, and a second side 114 connected in sequence. The base 11 has a circular groove, and each of the first side 112, rear side 113, and second side 114 has a drainage channel 111. Each drainage channel 111 extends along a direction close to the circular groove and communicates with it. The rotating seat 12 is rotatably mounted within the circular groove. Exemplarily, the first side 112, rear side 113, and second side 114 are located on the left, rear, and right sides of the base 11, respectively. The drainage channels 111 of the first side 112 and the second side 114 extend from left to right, while the drainage channel 111 of the rear side 113 extends from front to back. The circular groove is located within the area enclosed by the drainage channels 111. A sealing ring can be used to seal the gap between the rotating seat 12 and the inner wall of the circular groove.
[0056] Understandably, drainage channels 111 can also be provided on the front side 115 of the base 11. There can be multiple drainage channels 111 on the first side 112, the rear side 113, the second side 114, and the front side 115.
[0057] Optionally, the cleaning equipment also includes feet 22 mounted on the bottom of the base 11 and wheels 23 rotatably mounted on the bottom of the base 11. Multiple feet 22 are spaced apart, and multiple wheels 23 are spaced apart, facilitating the movement and transport of the cleaning equipment.
[0058] In one embodiment, the washing equipment also includes a dryer installed in the machine cavity 131, which can dry the clothes.
[0059] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
