Limescale affects critical components of the cleaning equipment, such as the steam generator, heating elements, and piping systems, thereby reducing thermal efficiency, increasing energy consumption, decreasing cleaning efficiency, and shortening the lifespan of the cleaning equipment. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a cleaning system that at least solves the problem in the prior art where the main unit of the cleaning equipment is prone to scale buildup, which leads to reduced performance and shortened service life of the cleaning equipment.
[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a cleaning system is provided, comprising:

[0008] When the host is in the second state, the first clean water tank supplies water directly to the second clean water tank through the first water supply pipe;
[0009] When the host is in the first state, the second clean water tank is used to supply water to the cleaning mechanism and / or the steam generator.
[0010] Furthermore, the water treatment device includes an air-to-water mechanism, which is disposed on one side of the first clean water tank to generate water using air and deliver it to the first clean water tank.
[0011] Furthermore, the base station is also provided with an air flow channel and a water receiving tray. The air-to-water mechanism includes a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, and a throttling element arranged in the same circulation loop. At least the condenser and the evaporator are arranged in the air flow channel, and the water receiving tray is arranged at least at the bottom of the evaporator and communicates with the first clean water tank.
[0012] Furthermore, the base station also includes a relay water tank, which is located on top of the first water tank, and the water receiving tray and the first water tank are connected through the relay water tank.
[0013] Furthermore, the base station also includes a filtration mechanism, which includes an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the intermediate clean water tank, and the outlet is connected to the first clean water tank.
[0014] Furthermore, the filtration mechanism includes any one of a carbon filter mechanism, an ion exchange resin mechanism, and a reverse osmosis membrane mechanism.
[0015] Furthermore, the water treatment device also includes a distillation water production mechanism, which is disposed on one side of the first clean water tank to produce water from wastewater and transport it to the first clean water tank.
[0016] Furthermore, the distillation water production mechanism includes a first wastewater tank, a first heater, and a first conveying channel.

One end of the first conveying channel is connected to the first wastewater tank, and the other end of the first conveying channel is connected to the first clean water tank.
[0017] Furthermore, the host also includes a second sewage tank. When the host is in the second state, the first sewage tank and the second sewage tank are connected through a pipe, and the base station pumps water from the second sewage tank to the first sewage tank.

When the host is in the second state, the second heater is connected to the second clean water tank.
[0019] In this invention, a water treatment device and a first clean water tank are installed on the base station. The water treatment device prepares soft water, which has a lower mineral content, reducing the impact of scale buildup on the main unit during use. The water treatment device is located on one side of the first clean water tank to soften the water entering the tank. Specifically, softening refers to removing calcium and magnesium ions from the water using methods such as air-to-water conversion (collecting water molecules from the air and condensing them into liquid water) or distillation (evaporating water and then condensing it back into liquid water), thus reducing scale formation. With this configuration, the water treatment device at the base station prepares the soft water required for the cleaning system during operation, and the soft water is collected in the first clean water tank for the main unit's operation. In this application, the main unit is equipped with a steam generator, a second clean water tank, and a cleaning mechanism. The second clean water tank stores the soft water supplied from the first clean water tank, which is used to power the cleaning mechanism and the steam generator. Specifically, the host has a first state of being detached from the base station and a second state of being on the base station. When the host is in the second state, the first clean water tank supplies water directly to the second clean water tank through the first water supply pipe; this water has a low mineral content. When the host is in the first state, the soft water in the second clean water tank is used to heat the steam generator to produce steam, reducing scale buildup and preventing scale from adversely affecting critical components of the host (such as the steam generator, heating elements, and piping system), such as reducing thermal efficiency and cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, when the host is in the first state, the second clean water tank can also be used to supply water to the cleaning mechanism; this water has a low mineral content, improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning mechanism.

[0035] As mentioned in the background section, existing steam cleaning equipment uses untreated water or tap water as a steam source, leading to a series of problems, especially scale buildup. Scale affects critical components of the cleaning equipment, such as the steam generator, heating element, and piping system, thereby reducing thermal efficiency, increasing energy consumption, decreasing cleaning efficiency, and shortening the equipment's lifespan. To address this, this application proposes a cleaning system that does not directly draw untreated water or tap water from the outside. Instead, it uses distillation or air-based water generation at the base station to reduce scale formation at the base station. Furthermore, a filtration mechanism is installed between the first clean water tank and the intermediate clean water tank to further reduce scale formation. The cleaning system of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] See Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this application provides a cleaning system, which includes a base station 10 and a host 20.
[0037] Specifically, the base station 10 is equipped with a water treatment device 11 and a first clean water tank 12. The water treatment device 11 is located on one side of the first clean water tank 12 to soften the water entering the first clean water tank 12. The host 20 is equipped with a steam generator 22, a second clean water tank 23 and a cleaning mechanism 21. The host 20 has a first state of being detached from the base station 10 and a second state of being moved on the base station 10. When the host 20 is in the second state, the first clean water tank 12 supplies water directly to the second clean water tank 23 through a first water supply pipe. When the host 20 is in the first state, the second clean water tank 23 is used to supply water to the cleaning mechanism 21 and / or the steam generator 22.
[0038] In this embodiment, a water treatment device 11 and a first clean water tank 12 are provided on the base station 10. The water treatment device 11 prepares water into soft water, which has a lower mineral content, reducing the impact of scale buildup on the host unit 20 during use. The water treatment device 11 is located on one side of the first clean water tank 12 to soften the water entering the first clean water tank 12. Specifically, softening refers to removing calcium and magnesium ions from the water by using air-to-water conversion (i.e., collecting water molecules in the air and condensing them into liquid water) or distillation (i.e., evaporating water and then condensing it into liquid water), thereby reducing scale formation. With this configuration, the water treatment device 11 on the base station 10 prepares the soft water required by the cleaning system during operation, and the soft water is collected in the first clean water tank 12 for the host unit 20's operational needs. In this application, the host unit 20 is equipped with a steam generator 22, a second clean water tank 23, and a cleaning mechanism 21. The second clean water tank 23 stores soft water supplied from the first clean water tank 12. This soft water is used at least for the cleaning mechanism 21 to enable its operation. Specifically, the main unit 20 has a first state detached from the base station 10 and a second state on the base station 10. When the main unit 20 is in the second state, the first clean water tank 12 supplies water directly to the second clean water tank 23 through a first water supply pipe (not shown in the figure), transporting the soft water prepared by the water treatment device 11 from the first clean water tank 12 to the second clean water tank 23. This water has a low mineral content. When the main unit 20 is in the first state, when the water in the second clean water tank 23 is transported to the steam generator 22 for heating to generate steam, scale formation is reduced, avoiding adverse effects of scale on key components of the main unit 20 (such as the steam generator 22, heating elements, and piping systems), such as reduced thermal efficiency and reduced cleaning efficiency. In addition, when the main unit 20 is in the first state, the second clean water tank 23 can also be used to supply water to the cleaning mechanism 21. The water has fewer mineral elements, which improves the cleaning effect of the cleaning mechanism 21.
[0039] This application utilizes a water treatment device 11 on the base station 10 to prepare soft water, reducing the mineral content in the water. A steam generator 22 is installed on the main unit 20 to transport the soft water prepared by the base station 10 to the main unit 20. This eliminates the need for a separate soft water device on the main unit 20, avoiding the need for regular maintenance and component replacement, and reducing production costs. Furthermore, this design significantly reduces the power consumption of the main unit 20 and saves layout space.
[0040] In other words, this application installs a water treatment device 11 on the base station 10 and delivers the soft water prepared by the water treatment device 11 to the host 20 for use by the host 20, eliminating the need for a separate water softening device. This configuration not only reduces scale buildup but also improves the efficiency of the cleaning system, extends its service life, and reduces production costs.
[0041] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the steam generator 22 of the main unit 20 is connected to the second clean water tank 23. The second clean water tank 23 supplies water to the steam generator 22. The heating system inside the steam generator 22 quickly heats and evaporates the water to generate high-temperature, high-pressure steam, which is then sprayed onto the surface to be cleaned. The heat energy of the steam loosens and dissolves stubborn stains, which, combined with the cleaning mechanism 21, improves cleaning efficiency. In addition, the steam generated by the steam generator 22 also has sterilization and disinfection capabilities, providing a healthier environment. Furthermore, using the steam generator 22 to heat soft water reduces scale buildup, thus improving thermal efficiency, extending the service life of both the steam generator 22 and the main unit 20, and enhancing the cleaning effect.
[0042] Furthermore, the water treatment device 11 in this application includes an air-to-water mechanism, which is disposed on one side of the first clean water tank 12 to generate water using air and deliver it into the first clean water tank 12. It is worth noting that the water initially required by the base station 10 in this application is obtained by air-to-water generation. The host 20 will only start working after the prepared soft water reaches the predetermined value set by the base station 10.
[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 8 as well as Figure 9As shown, the base station 10 is also equipped with an air flow channel 13 and a water collection tray 14. The air flow channel 13 is used to transport air to the air-to-water generator. The water collection tray 14 is used to collect the condensate with low mineral content produced by the air-to-water generator. In this embodiment, the air-to-water generator includes a compressor 111, an evaporator 112, a condenser 113, and a throttling element (not shown) arranged in the same circulation loop. At least the condenser 113 and the evaporator 112 are arranged in the air flow channel 13, and the water collection tray 14 is arranged at least at the bottom of the evaporator 112 and communicates with the first clean water tank 12. Specifically, the working principle of the air-to-water generator is to transfer heat from a low-temperature region to a high-temperature region by circulating a working fluid (refrigerant), thereby condensing the moisture in the air into water. The mineral content in this water is extremely low, which can reduce the formation of scale in the main unit 20. In this embodiment, water-containing air enters the air channel 13 after being filtered at the air inlet 103, and is then transported to the evaporator 112 in the air-to-water generator through the air inlet 101 located within the air channel 13. As the refrigerant in the evaporator 112 absorbs heat, it cools the air below the dew point, causing water vapor to condense into liquid water. This liquid water is collected using a drip tray 14. The actual working process involves the refrigerant in the evaporator 112 absorbing heat and evaporating. The resulting low-temperature, low-pressure vapor is compressed into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas by the compressor 111 and sent to the condenser 113. As the refrigerant releases heat in the condenser 113 and regulates the air temperature, the dried air is then discharged from the base station 10 through the exhaust channel 114. The throttling element reduces the pressure of the high-pressure liquid refrigerant from the condenser 113 to a low-pressure liquid, allowing it to evaporate and absorb heat at a lower evaporation pressure in the evaporator 112, thus achieving a cooling effect. In this embodiment, the water collection tray 14 can be set at the bottom of the evaporator 112, or it can be set at the bottom of both the evaporator 112 and the condenser 113, so that a larger amount of condensate can be collected.
[0044] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 9As shown, the base station 10 also includes a transit water tank 15. The transit water tank 15 ensures the stability and continuity of the water supply; it also allows for further water treatment and purification of the water prepared by the water treatment device 11; furthermore, it reduces the load on the water supply system, extends the service life of the water supply equipment, and improves the reliability of the system. Specifically, the transit water tank 15 is located on top of the first water tank 12, and the water receiving tray 14 and the first water tank 12 are connected through the transit water tank 15. With this configuration, water in the water receiving tray 14 is pumped (not shown) to the transit water tank 15 located on top of the first water tank 12 via a pumping mechanism. This allows the base station 10 to be more modular, enabling a miniaturized design and facilitating maintenance and management. By placing the transit water tank 15 on top of the first water tank 12, water is transferred from the transit water tank 15 to the first water tank 12 using gravity, which not only improves the stability of the water supply and ensures the stable operation of the base station 10, but also enhances the reliability and flexibility of the water supply system.
[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the base station 10 also includes a filtration mechanism 16, which includes an inlet (not shown) and an outlet (not shown). The inlet is connected to the intermediate clean water tank 15, and the outlet is connected to the first clean water tank 12. A filtration mechanism 16 is also provided between the intermediate clean water tank 15 and the first clean water tank 12. This filtration mechanism 16 can further filter the water transported from the intermediate clean water tank 15 to the first clean water tank 12 to remove minerals and further reduce the possibility of scale formation. In this embodiment, the water used by the steam generator 22 is distilled soft water or soft water obtained by air-to-water conversion, and is further filtered by the filtration mechanism 16 to reduce scale formation and minimize the adverse effects of scale on the steam generator 22 and the transport pipeline.
[0046] Furthermore, the filtration mechanism 16 includes any one of a carbon filter rod mechanism, an ion exchange resin mechanism, and a reverse osmosis membrane mechanism. The filtration mechanism 16 further filters the water prepared by the water treatment device 11 to remove minerals and reduce subsequent scale formation. Exemplarily, the filtration mechanism 16 can be a carbon filter rod mechanism, an ion exchange resin mechanism, or a reverse osmosis membrane mechanism. Specifically, the carbon filter rod mechanism removes calcium and magnesium ions from the water based on the adsorption of activated carbon; the ion exchange resin mechanism uses ion exchange resin to exchange calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium ions on the resin to generate soft water; the reverse osmosis membrane mechanism uses a semi-permeable membrane to force water molecules through under high pressure while retaining calcium and magnesium ions to obtain soft water. In this application, considering both production costs and the quality of the water to be filtered, a carbon filter rod mechanism is preferred for the filtration mechanism 16. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the filtration mechanism 16 can also be made of other materials, as long as it is a variation of this application, it is within the scope of protection of this application.
[0047] In this embodiment, the water treatment device 11 further includes a distillation water production mechanism, which is disposed on one side of the first clean water tank 12 to produce water from wastewater and transport it to the first clean water tank 12. Specifically, in this embodiment, in addition to using air to produce water, the water treatment device 11 can also use wastewater collected on the host 20 to distill and obtain soft water. In this way, the water source for distillation water production does not need to be connected to untreated water from the base station 10, thus saving water resources.
[0048] like Figure 9 As shown, the distillation water production mechanism includes a first wastewater tank 17, a first heater (not shown), and a first conveying channel 18. The first wastewater tank 17 houses the first heater, one end of the first conveying channel 18 is connected to the first wastewater tank 17, and the other end of the first conveying channel 18 is connected to the first clean water tank 12. The soft water used in this application can be obtained not only through air-to-water conversion but also through distillation of wastewater from a cleaning system. Specifically, the distillation water production mechanism on the base station 10 includes a first wastewater tank 17, and a first heater is installed inside the first wastewater tank 17. The first heater heats and evaporates the wastewater to obtain water vapor. One end of the first conveying channel 18 is connected to the first wastewater tank 17, and the other end of the first conveying channel 18 extends to the evaporator 112. This arrangement can accelerate the efficiency of water vapor liquefaction into liquid water.
[0049] Specifically, the distilled water vapor can be transported to the evaporator 112 of the air-to-water generator via the first conveying channel 18. The refrigerant in the evaporator 112 absorbs heat, causing the water vapor to condense into liquefied water. The liquefied water is collected by the water receiving tray 14 and temporarily stored in the intermediate clean water tank 15 before being transported back to the first clean water tank 12. In this embodiment, the air-to-water generator is located on one side of the distillation-to-water generator. This arrangement not only facilitates the miniaturization of the base station 10 but also facilitates the transport of water vapor to the evaporator 112. The distilled water vapor can also be directly transported to the intermediate clean water tank 15 via the first conveying channel 18, where the water vapor liquefies into liquid water through the self-cooling of the first conveying channel 18. In this application, due to design limitations of the base station 10, the preferred method for cooling the water vapor is to use the evaporator 112 of the air-cooling mechanism of the water treatment device 11 to obtain liquid water. The collected liquefied water has extremely low mineral content, reducing scale formation. See again. Figure 9 As shown, the steam inlet 102 for water vapor to enter the evaporator 112 is located below the air inlet 101 of the air-to-water mechanism. Thus, the water vapor from distillation can be cooled and liquefied by the air-to-water mechanism to obtain soft water, thereby improving the efficiency of liquid water preparation in distillation. It is worth noting that in this application, distillation and air-to-water preparation are not performed simultaneously. When air-to-water preparation is needed, the steam inlet 102 is closed; conversely, when it is not needed, the steam inlet 102 is closed. In this application, air-to-water preparation is used when there is initially no water in the base station 10, eliminating the need to draw water from the external environment and conserving water resources. When the host 20 collects wastewater after starting operation, it uses distillation to prepare soft water, improving the efficiency of water resource utilization.
[0050] Furthermore, the host 20 also includes a second wastewater tank (not shown in the figure). When the host 20 is in the second state, the first wastewater tank 17 and the second wastewater tank are connected by a pipe, and the base station 10 draws the wastewater in the second wastewater tank into the first wastewater tank 17. With this configuration, the distillation water purification mechanism heats and evaporates the wastewater to produce water vapor, thereby obtaining soft water. The wastewater generated during the operation can be reused, saving water resources.
[0051] like Figure 4As shown, base station 10 also includes a second heater 19 and a second water supply pipe (not shown in the figure). One end of the second water supply pipe is connected to the first clean water tank 12, and the other end is connected to the second heater 19, facilitating the delivery of water from the first clean water tank 12 to the second heater 19 for heating. When the main unit 20 is in the second state, the second heater 19 is connected to the second clean water tank 23. The second heater 19 is connected to the water inlet 24 on the second clean water tank 23 via a pipe, which facilitates the delivery of heated soft water to the second clean water tank 23 for use by the steam generator 22 and the cleaning mechanism 21. Compared to the prior art, where cold water is directly supplied to the main unit 20 via base station 10, the second heater 19 heats the water, reducing the time required for the steam generator 22 on the main unit 20 to heat water during operation, further improving the endurance of the main unit 20. In addition, when the main unit 20 is in the second state, the water heated by the second heater 19 is delivered to the second clean water tank 23 for storage. When the cleaning mechanism 21 needs to use water, it is delivered to the cleaning mechanism 21 from the water outlet pipe 25. Hot water can improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning mechanism 21 on the floor to be cleaned.
[0052] In summary, this invention provides a water treatment device 11 on the base station 10 and a steam generator 22 on the main unit 20. The base station 10 can produce soft water through air-to-water and distillation processes. The water has extremely low mineral content, reducing the adverse effects of scale buildup on the main structure of the main unit 20, such as the steam generator 22, heating elements, and pipes. This improves thermal efficiency, reduces energy consumption, increases cleaning efficiency, and extends the lifespan of the cleaning system. Compared to existing technologies, this application eliminates the need for a soft water device on the main unit 20, simplifying the cleaning system and reducing production costs in the long run. Furthermore, the cleaning system includes a filter mechanism 16 between the intermediate clean water tank 15 and the first clean water tank 12 to further filter the soft water, further reducing the possibility of scale formation. In this application, a second heater 19 is also provided between the first clean water tank 12 and the second clean water tank 23 to preheat the soft water transported from the first clean water tank 12 to the second clean water tank 23 on the main unit 20, significantly increasing the operating range of the main unit 20.
