[0035] (Example 1)

[0036] See Figure 2-4 The pool cleaning machine water tank assembly of this embodiment includes a housing 1 and a water tank 2. A drainage assembly 3 is provided in the housing 1, and a drain outlet 4 is provided on the side wall of the housing 1. A water inlet 5 is provided on the water tank 2, and a filter device 6 is provided in the water tank 2. The housing 1 and the water tank 2 are connected in communication; the housing 1 and the water tank 2 are detachably connected. In this embodiment, the filter device 6 is a filter screen.

[0037] Specifically, the housing 1 includes a base 1-1, a side plate 1-2, and a drain tank 1-3. A mounting cavity is formed between the base 1-1, side plate 1-2, and drain tank 1-3. The water tank 2 is placed within this mounting cavity. When the water tank 2 is installed in the mounting cavity, the base 1-1 is located below the water tank 2, the side plate 1-2 is located to one side of the water tank 2, and the drain tank 1-3 is located above the water tank 2. A water inlet 5 is located at the bottom of the water tank 2, and a through hole corresponding to the water inlet 5 is provided on the base 1-1. A through hole is provided on the top surface of the water tank 2, and a through hole is also provided on the bottom surface of the drain tank 1-3. When the equipment is working, water flows through the drain assembly 3 from the water inlet 5 at the bottom into the water tank 2, enters the drain tank 1-3 through the through hole at the top of the water tank 2, and then exits from the drain outlet 4 on the side wall.

[0038] The base 1-1 has a funnel-shaped center, and the bottom surface of the drain tank 1-3 is sloped, gradually decreasing in slope from the side away from the side plate 1-2 to the side closer to the side plate 1-2. The outer shell of the water tank 2 matches the housing 1, meaning the bottom surface of the water tank 2 is also funnel-shaped in the middle, and the top surface of the water tank 2 is sloped. The sides of the water tank 2 and the side plates 1-2 of the housing 1 together form the outer wall of the water tank assembly. Alternatively, a sealing plate can be installed on the opposite side of the side plate 1-2 of the housing 1 to make the overall shape of the water tank assembly more complete and aesthetically pleasing. The funnel-shaped base 1-1 increases the stability of the water tank 2 after it is installed on the housing 1, and the sloped bottom surface of the drain tank 1-3 makes the water tank 2 easier to install, preventing the funnel-shaped part at the bottom from getting stuck during installation.

[0039] It also includes a drainage structure 7, which is located on the side of the housing 1 near the side plate 1-2. The drainage structure 7 includes pin holes formed on the bottom surfaces of the base 1-1 and the water tank 2, and a drain cover 7-1 that passes through both pin holes. One end of the drain cover 7-1 is provided with a flexible cap 7-2. During installation, the end of the drain cover 7-1 with the flexible cap 7-2 passes through the pin holes on the base 1-1 and the water tank 2 in sequence. During disassembly, the water in the water tank 2 is drained by removing the drain cover 7-1.

[0040] Multiple sealing rings 8 are provided at the connection between the casing 1 and the water tank 2 to prevent water from entering the drain tank 1-3 through the gap between the casing 1 and the water tank 2, thus affecting the cleaning ability of the equipment.

[0041] A partition plate 1-3-1 is provided in the drainage tank 1-3. The partition plate 1-3-1 divides the drainage tank 1-3 into a sealed cavity 1-3-2 and a drainage cavity 1-3-3 from top to bottom. A drainage channel 1-3-3-1 is provided in the drainage cavity 1-3-3. The drainage channel 1-3-3-1 is positioned opposite to the drain outlet 4.

[0042] The drainage assembly 3 is installed in the drainage tank 1-3. The drainage assembly 3 includes a power module 3-1, a control module 3-2, a drive device 3-3, and a paddle 3-4. The power module 3-1 supplies power to the drive device 3-3, the control module 3-2 controls the operation of the drive device 3-3, and the paddle 3-4 is installed at the output end of the drive device 3-3. A mounting box is provided on the partition plate 1-3-1, and both the power module 3-1 and the control module 3-2 are installed in the mounting box. In this embodiment, the drive device 3-3 is a drive motor, and the paddle 3-4 is fixed on the output shaft of the drive motor. When the drive motor works, it drives the paddle 3-4 to rotate, and the paddle 3-4 pushes the water flow along the drainage channel 1-3-3-1 to the drain outlet 4. The water continuously enters from the inlet 5 at the bottom of the water tank 2. After being filtered by the filter screen, the clean water enters the drainage chamber 1-3 from the water tank 2, forming a circulation and realizing the water pumping function.

[0043] A groove is provided on the partition plate 1-3-1, and one end of the drive motor is fixed in the groove. A retaining ring 9 is fixed below the groove, and the groove and the retaining ring 9 are sealed. Both the groove and the retaining ring 9 have through holes for the output shaft of the drive motor to pass through. An oil seal 10 is provided on the output shaft of the drive motor, and the oil seal 10 seals the through holes on the retaining ring 9. By providing an oil seal 9 on the output shaft of the drive motor, a dynamic seal is achieved between the motor output shaft and the housing 1, preventing water from entering the sealing cavity 1-3-2.

[0044] This invention separates the housing 1 and the water tank 2 into two parts, which are designed to be detachably connected. By disassembling the water tank 2, it is convenient to clean the water tank 2 or directly replace the water tank 2, so as to achieve quick disassembly and assembly of the equipment and reduce the cost of replacing parts.

[0045] (Example 2)

[0046] A type of pool cleaning machine, see Figure 1 The system includes a cleaning module and a water tank assembly. A hand lever 11 is detachably connected to the housing 1. The top of the housing 1 near the side plates 1-2 has an insertion hole for inserting the hand lever 11. The housing 1 and the hand lever 11 are then fixed with screws. The hand lever 11 can be telescopic to accommodate swimming pools of different heights. The cleaning module is equipped with a suction pipe 12. The housing 1 is connected to the suction pipe 12 via a universal hinge, making it convenient for users to operate the hand lever 11 to clean the swimming pool.
