[0032] As described in the background, the water supply mode of the existing cleaning device is mainly to continuously pump clean water in the clean water tank of the cleaning device to supply water for the cleaning operation of the cleaning element or the self-cleaning water working condition, and the water consumption is relatively large, and the use cost of the cleaning device is relatively high. Therefore, the application provides a water making assembly. When the water making assembly is installed in the cleaning device, the water making assembly can make water by using air or steam for the use of the cleaning device, so as to reduce the water consumption of the cleaning device, and then the use cost of the cleaning device can be reduced. The water making assembly and the cleaning device of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the drawings, according to the embodiment of the application, a water making assembly is provided, which comprises an air supply channel 10, a power element 20 and a condensing part 30.
[0034] The air supply channel 10 comprises an air inlet section 11, a conveying section 12 and an air outlet section 13. The conveying section 12 is in communication with the air inlet section 11 and the air outlet section 13 respectively. The power element 20 is arranged in the air supply channel 10 to at least make the air flow through the air inlet section 11, the conveying section 12 and the air outlet section 13 in sequence. The condensing component 30 comprises a condensing tube 31 and a heating part 32. The condensing tube 31 is at least partially located in the internal channel of the air supply channel 10. The condensing tube 31 comprises an inlet 311 and an outlet 312. The inlet 311 is in communication with the air outlet section 13. The heating part 32 is located at the inlet 311 of the condensing tube 31.
[0035] When the water making assembly in the embodiment is placed in the air, the power element 20 works in the air supply channel 10 to make the air flow through the air inlet section 11, the conveying section 12 and the air outlet section 13 in sequence, and then flow into the condensing tube 31 from the inlet 311 and flow out from the outlet 312. Since the heating part 32 is arranged at the inlet 311 of the condensing tube 31 in the embodiment, the air flowing into the condensing tube 31 can be heated by the heating part 32. Since the condensing tube 31 is at least partially located in the air supply channel 10, the water in the air can be condensed into liquid by the cold air in the air supply channel 10 when the hot air enters the condensing tube 31, and finally flow out from the outlet 312 to the outside of the water making assembly.
[0036] When the water making assembly in the embodiment is installed in the cleaning device, the inlet of the air inlet section 11 of the water making assembly is in communication with the air or the structure prone to generate water vapor, so that the water making assembly can make water and supply the cleaning device to assist the cleaning work or clean the cleaning device. That is to say, when the water making assembly in the embodiment is installed in the cleaning device, the water making assembly can make water by using the air or steam to supply the cleaning device, so that the use cost of the cleaning device can be reduced to a certain extent.
[0037] In the embodiment, the air inlet section 11, the conveying section 12 and the air outlet section 13 can be integrally arranged or separately arranged. The air inlet section 11, the conveying section 12 and the air outlet section 13 in the embodiment are separately arranged. Figure 3 In the embodiment, the air inlet section 11, the conveying section 12 and the air outlet section 13 can be integrally arranged or separately arranged. The air inlet section 11, the conveying section 12 and the air outlet section 13 in the embodiment are separately arranged.
[0038] Specifically, the condensing pipe 31 in the embodiment includes a plurality of condensing pipes 31, each of which is arranged in the air inlet section 11. For example, the condensing pipe 31 in the embodiment can be two, three, four or more. In actual design, the condensing pipe 31 is arranged as many as possible while considering the air volume in the air supply channel 10. By arranging the condensing pipe 31 as a plurality of condensing pipes, the contact area between air and the surface of the condensing pipe 31 can be increased, which is more suitable for heat exchange between hot air and cold air to condense the moisture carried by the hot air in the condensing pipe 31, thereby improving the water production effect of the water production assembly. At the same time, the condensing pipe 31 in the embodiment is arranged in the air inlet section 11, which can increase the temperature difference between the hot air in the condensing pipe 31 and the cold air in the air supply channel 10, thereby facilitating the rapid condensation of the moisture carried by the hot air in the condensing pipe 31.
[0039] Further, the condensing pipe 31 in the embodiment includes at least one of a copper pipe, an aluminum pipe and a steel pipe. That is, the condensing pipe 31 in the embodiment can be all copper pipes, all aluminum pipes or all steel pipes, or any combination of the three. The copper pipe, the aluminum pipe and the steel pipe have good thermal conductivity and durability, which facilitates heat exchange between the inside and the outside of the pipe, thereby facilitating effective cooling of the moisture carried by the hot air in the condensing pipe 31. Of course, in other embodiments of the application, the condensing pipe 31 can also be other pipe structures with high thermal conductivity, as long as it is a deformation mode under the concept of the application, which is within the protection scope of the application.
[0040] In combination with Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, the heating part 32 in the embodiment includes a plurality of electric heating sheets 321 arranged at intervals, and the adjacent two electric heating sheets 321 have a flow gap 322 opposite to the inlet 311. It can be understood that the flow gap 322 opposite to the inlet 311 described herein refers to the arrangement mode that the flow gap 322 is aligned with the inlet 311. In the embodiment, the flow gap 322 is opposite to the inlet 311 of the condensing pipe 31, which is more suitable for smooth air flow into the condensing pipe 31, and can heat the air entering the condensing pipe 31 sufficiently, thereby facilitating condensation after the hot air enters the condensing pipe 31 to produce water. Optionally, the electric heating sheet 321 in the embodiment can be two, three, four or more than five, which is selected and designed according to the actual space and structure requirements, and is not limited in the application.
[0041] In order to support the electric heating sheet 321, the heating part 32 in the embodiment further comprises a support 323, which can be a metal support, can also be an electric heating support, etc. When installed, the support 323 can be fixed in the air outlet section 13 by welding or screwing, etc. The electric heating sheet 321 can be fixed on the support 323 by welding, clamping, etc. After installation, the electric heating sheet 321 is supported by the support 323 at the inlet 311 of the condensing pipe 31, which facilitates effective heating of the air entering the condensing pipe 31, and the structure is stable and reliable.
[0042] In combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the drawings, the air inlet section 11 in the embodiment comprises a Venturi pipe, which comprises a first pipe section 111, a second pipe section 112 and a third pipe section 113. The two ends of the second pipe section 112 are in communication with the first pipe section 111 and the third pipe section 113, respectively. The condensing pipe 31 is arranged in the second pipe section 112. In the direction away from the second pipe section 112, the cross sections of the channels inside the first pipe section 111 and the third pipe section 113 gradually increase. It can be understood that the cross sections of the channels inside the first pipe section 111 and the third pipe section 113 referred to herein refer to the cross sections obtained by cutting the first pipe section 111 and the third pipe section 113 in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the first pipe section 111 and the third pipe section 113. In the embodiment, by arranging the air inlet section 11 as a Venturi pipe, the air flow rate is the fastest at the second pipe section 112 with the smallest cross section. In the embodiment, by arranging the condensing pipe 31 at the position with the fastest flow rate in the Venturi pipe, it is more suitable for rapidly condensing the moisture carried by the hot air in the condensing pipe 31 to produce water. Of course, in other embodiments of the application, the air inlet section 11 can also be an air duct with a constant inner diameter. As long as it is other deformation modes under the concept of the application, it is within the protection scope of the application.
[0043] Further, the power element 20 in the embodiment comprises a fan, which is arranged in at least one of the first pipe section 111 and the third pipe section 113. In actual design, the fan can be one, two, three or more, which is not specifically limited in the application. Of course, in other embodiments of the application, the power element 20 can also be arranged in the conveying section 12 or the air outlet section 13, as long as it can make the air flow along the air inlet section 11, the conveying section 12 and the air outlet section 13.
[0044] In order to facilitate the collection of condensed water, the outlet 312 of the condensing pipe 31 extends to the outside of the air supply channel 10. The water production assembly in the embodiment further comprises a water collecting box 40, which is arranged at the outlet 312. Through the action of the water collecting box 40, the water flowing out of the outlet 312 of the condensing pipe 31 can be collected.
[0045] Further, the water collection box 40 in the embodiment has a low water recess 41 therein, and the low water recess 41 is provided with a water outlet (not shown in the figure). After the condensed water flows out of the outlet 312 of the condensing pipe 31, it can be collected at the low water recess 41, and by connecting a pipe at the water outlet of the low water recess 41, the condensed water can be delivered to a place where water is needed. Optionally, the outlet 312 of the condensing pipe 31 is provided with a flow guide 50 for guiding the fluid flowing out of the outlet 312 to the water collection box 40, so as to avoid water overflow to the outside of the water collection box 40. Exemplarily, the flow guide 50 in the embodiment includes a flow guide plate provided with a slope, which facilitates guiding the condensed water into the water collection box 40, and has a simple structure and is easy to process. In actual assembly, the flow guide 50 can be mounted on the water collection box 40 or the condensing component 30 by screws, buckles or pins.
[0046] In order to facilitate observation of the amount of water in the water collection box 40, the side wall of the water collection box 40 in the embodiment is provided with an observation port 42, which facilitates observation of the amount of water in the water collection box 40. The observation port 42 can be a hollow hole, or an opening covered with a see-through glass or a see-through film.
[0047] On the other hand, the application also discloses a cleaning device. Exemplarily, the cleaning device can be a sweeper, a scrubber, a dust collector or a cleaning base station having the sweeper, the scrubber or the dust collector. The cleaning device includes the water making assembly described above, and therefore, the cleaning device includes all the technical effects of the water making assembly in the above embodiment. Since the effects of the water making assembly have been described in detail above, they will not be described here again.
[0048] For the convenience of description, spatial relative terms such as "above", "upper", "on", "top", etc. can be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of one device or feature with respect to other devices or features as shown in the drawings. It should be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation of the devices described in the drawings. For example, if the devices in the drawings are inverted, the device described as "above" or "on" other devices or structures will be positioned "below" or "under" the other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The devices can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated by 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein are interpreted accordingly.
[0049] In addition, it needs to be explained that the use of "first", "second" and the like to limit the parts is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding parts, and the above words have no special meaning if there is no further declaration, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the protection scope of the utility model.
