Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically to a dry and wet wastewater tank and cleaning machine suitable for use on water dispensers. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of social modernization, more and more people are choosing comfortable and beautiful fabric furniture products, such as sofas, carpets, curtains, and mattresses. However, after a period of use, they need to be cleaned. Cleaning this type of fabric requires a series of steps such as disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly. Manual cleaning is labor-intensive and extremely physically demanding.
[0003] With the development of technology and the improvement of people's living standards, fabric cleaning machines have gradually gained recognition for their better cleaning effect on fabrics and more convenient operation. Currently, most fabric cleaning machines on the market do not have a dry suction function, or require replacement parts to switch between water suction and dry suction, which limits their applicability and makes them inconvenient to use. At the same time, conventional water-cooled machines do not have a dust filter in their wastewater tank, making them unable to vacuum dust. Furthermore, the air inlet is not at the highest point of the water tank, resulting in a small effective volume of wastewater tank and poor water-air separation effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a dry and wet dual-purpose sewage tank and cleaning machine suitable for water purifiers.
[0005] According to the present invention, a dry and wet wastewater tank suitable for use in a water purifier is provided, comprising a filter top cover and a collection tank, wherein the filter top cover is detachably disposed on the top of the collection tank;
[0006] An air inlet is provided on one side of the top of the filter cover, and a filter assembly and a floating assembly are arranged sequentially from top to bottom inside the cover. A filter suction port is provided between the filter assembly and the floating assembly, and the floating assembly can block the filter suction port when it moves upward. An air intake space is provided above the filter assembly, and the air intake space is connected to the air inlet.
[0007] The collection box is equipped with an inlet pipe, and the outlet end of the inlet pipe is equipped with a first baffle along the circumference. The floating assembly is equipped with a second baffle along the circumference.
[0008] After the dust and gas pass through the inlet pipe, they pass through the first baffle and the second baffle in sequence, then through the filter suction port and the filter assembly, and finally flow out from the air inlet.
[0009] After the liquid enters through the inlet pipe, it is blocked by the first baffle and the second baffle in sequence and falls along the outer wall to the bottom of the collection box. The gas that enters with the liquid bypasses the first baffle and the second baffle, enters the filter assembly through the filter suction port, and is discharged from the air inlet. When the liquid level in the collection box rises, the floating stop component can block the filter suction port.
[0010] Preferably, the filter assembly contains a filter material.
[0011] Preferably, the floating assembly has a floating component inside.
[0012] Preferably, the floating component is a mechanical float and / or a float column; or the floating component adopts an electronic induction structure.
[0013] Preferably, the floating assembly has a limiting structure that matches the floating component, and the limiting structure can guide the vertical movement trajectory of the floating component when the floating component floats up or down.
[0014] Preferably, the height of the second baffle is lower than the height of the floating assembly.
[0015] Preferably, the first baffle is an arc-shaped plate or a flat plate structure.
[0016] Preferably, the second baffle is an arc-shaped plate or a flat plate structure.
[0017] Preferably, the filter top cover is snapped onto the collection box.

[0036] sewage inlet pipe 201 Detailed Implementation
[0037] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0038] This utility model provides a dual-purpose wet and dry wastewater tank for a water dispenser, integrating both dust and air separation and water and air separation functions, and featuring a water full protection structure, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, it includes a filter top cover 1 and a collection box 2. The filter top cover 1 is an integrated component located above the collection box 2. The lower end of the filter top cover 1 is connected to the collection box 2. An air inlet 101 is provided on the upper side of the filter top cover 1, and the air inlet 101 is connected to the air inlet of the vacuum cleaner.
[0039] The collection box 2 is located below the filter top cover 1 and has a sewage inlet pipe 201 inside. The sewage inlet pipe 201 can be connected to the sewage suction hose of the vacuum cleaner. The collection box 2 and the filter top cover 1 are detachably connected. Preferably, the filter top cover 1 is snapped onto the upper end of the collection box 2. The collection box 2 and the filter top cover 1 can be easily separated for easy cleaning and maintenance after use.
[0040] The filter top cover 1 is equipped with a filter assembly 102 and a floating assembly 105. The filter assembly 102 is located in the middle of the filter top cover 1. The filter assembly 102 is equipped with a filter material, such as a dry material like HEPA, for filtering dust.
[0041] Furthermore, the upper part of the filter assembly 102 is an air intake space, which is connected to the air inlet 101. The lower part of the filter assembly 102 is provided with a filter suction port, and the lower end of the filter assembly 102 is connected to the float assembly 105. The float assembly 105 is provided with a floating element 106, which can be a float ball and / or a float column. It is mainly used to prevent liquid from entering the filter assembly 102 when suctioning liquid, and to close the filter suction port in time. At the same time, it prevents the vacuum in the collection box 2 from being drawn in, thus stopping the suction of dirt.
[0042] It should be noted that the float assembly 105 is mounted on the filter top cover 1 and partially extends into the collection box 2. The float assembly 105 has a limiting structure that matches the floating member 106. When the floating member 106 floats up or down, the limiting structure can guide the movement of the floating member 106, allowing the floating member 106 to move along a set trajectory. The limiting structure preferably uses one or more plates, such as a float ball. Figure 4 As shown, the limiting structure is an annular channel formed by plates. Other structures, such as those that can guide the movement of the float, can also be used, but will not be described in detail here.
[0043] The bottom of the filter top cover 1 is provided with two baffles, namely the first baffle 103 and the second baffle 104, which are used to isolate the inlet pipe 201 from the floating assembly 105. The first baffle 103 is located around the inlet pipe 201, and the second baffle 104 is located around the floating assembly 105. The two baffles can be flat or arc-shaped. The second baffle 104 cannot be made into a closed surrounding structure and cannot completely surround the floating assembly 105. It only needs to block no more than 1 / 2 of the surface on one side in the direction of the inlet pipe 201, and the height of the second baffle 104 must be less than the height of the floating assembly 105.
[0044] This utility model also provides a cleaning machine, including a dry and wet wastewater tank suitable for use on a water purifier, which can achieve the dual effect of vacuuming and water absorption, and achieve the best balance between effective water absorption and effective dust absorption.
[0045] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0046] Vacuuming principle:
[0047] Dust enters through the inlet pipe 201. First, the heavier dust is blocked by the first baffle 103 and falls down the wall of the first baffle 103 to the bottom of the collection box 2. The remaining dust bypasses the first baffle 103 and flows towards the filter suction port, where it is blocked by the second baffle 104 and falls down the outer wall of the second baffle 104 to the bottom of the collection box 2. Finally, the lighter dust bypasses the second baffle 104 and enters the top of the floating assembly 105. It passes through the filter suction port and is blocked by the filter assembly 102 above, thus achieving the dust suction function. During cleaning, the floating assembly 105 and the filter assembly 102 can be removed from the filter top cover 1 and cleaned one by one.
[0048] Water absorption principle:
[0049] Liquid enters through the inlet pipe 201, is blocked by the first baffle 103, and falls down the outer wall to the bottom of the collection box 2. Gas bypasses the first baffle 103 and the second baffle 104 and enters the filter assembly 102 above the floating assembly 105. It then enters the vacuum cleaner through the air inlet 101 and is discharged. There is no water in the filter assembly 102. When the liquid level in the collection box 2 rises to the bottom of the floating assembly 105 and causes the floating part 106 to rise, the floating part 106 is directly sucked up and completely blocks the filter suction port below the filter assembly 102 because of the strong suction at the bottom of the filter assembly 102. At this time, the vacuum in the collection box 2 is lost, and the liquid is stopped from being sucked up through the inlet pipe 201, thus preventing the liquid level from being too high and entering the filter assembly 102. At this time, the machine is turned off and the filter top cover 1 is removed to empty the wastewater and complete the cleaning.
[0050] By adding a filter assembly 102 above the collection box 2 and placing the air inlet at the top, and adding a floating assembly below the filter assembly 102, both functions of dust suction and water suction can be achieved, and both can achieve good results.
[0051] The floating assembly 105 can be a mechanical buoy / float or an electronic induction device. The electronic induction device has a simple structure but is relatively expensive.
[0052] The dry and wet wastewater tank of this utility model has both liquid filtration and dust filtration functions, and no parts need to be replaced when switching between the two states. The filter assembly 102 is installed on the top cover 1 of the wastewater tank and can be separated from the collection tank 2, and can be taken out separately for easy cleaning. The air inlet 101 connected to the equipment is on the side of the top cover 1 of the wastewater tank. This layout can increase the effective volume of the bottom collection tank 2, better improve the space utilization, and ensure that there are no unnecessary structural dead corners in the bottom collection tank 2, which is easy to clean.
[0053] This utility model redesigns the wastewater tank structure layout, alters the positions of the original air inlet and water inlet, and adds a dust filter, achieving a dual-purpose function of vacuuming and water absorption. The dry and wet dual-purpose wastewater tank can be used for both vacuuming and water absorption, achieving an optimal balance between effective water absorption and effective dust absorption. It can also be easily separated for convenient cleaning. In terms of cost, compared to wastewater tanks that can only absorb water, it only adds one filter component without adding any other parts, making it more economical. Structurally, the filter and floating assembly are designed at the top, and the wastewater tank can be separated from the top and bottom, making it easier to disassemble and clean.
