[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0032] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this application described herein.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning assembly 10, which includes a cleaning container 11, a power pump 12, a drain switch 13, a first housing 14, and a second housing 15;
[0034] The washing container 11 has a washing chamber 101 inside. The first housing 14 has a first cavity 102 that communicates with the washing chamber 101. The second housing 15 has a second cavity 103, a first channel 104, a second channel 105 and a drain channel 106 that communicate with the second cavity 103. The second cavity 103 communicates with the second cavity 103 and the washing chamber 101 through the first channel 104 and the second channel 105, respectively.
[0035] A power pump 12 is installed on the second cavity 103. The power pump 12 is used to provide power to transport the liquid in the second cavity 103 to the second channel 105 and / or the drainage channel 106.
[0036] The drain switch 13 is installed on the drain channel 106. When the drain switch 13 is in the closed state, the power pump 12 delivers the liquid in the second chamber 103 to the second channel 105. When the drain switch 13 is in the open state, the power pump 12 delivers the liquid in the second chamber 103 to the second channel 105 and the drain channel 106.
[0037] The washing container 11 may contain a washing chamber 101, which can be used to hold the equipment to be cleaned. A first cavity 102 may be formed within the first housing 14, serving as a transfer station between the washing chamber 101 and the second cavity 103. A second cavity 103 may be formed within the second housing 15, which, in conjunction with the power pump 12, can distribute liquid to a second channel 105 or a drainage channel 106. The second channel 105 can be connected to a spraying device installed within the washing chamber 101, such as a spray arm. Specifically, the second channel 105 is connected to the spray arm, and the liquid from the second cavity 103 is transferred to the second channel 105 and sprayed through the spray arm onto the equipment to be cleaned within the washing chamber 101, such as baby bottles, water cups, and dishes. It should be noted that the drainage channel 106 can be connected to a wastewater tank or directly to a sewer.
[0038] The drain switch 13 can selectively open or close the drain channel 106. Specifically, when the drain switch 13 is open, the drain channel 106 is open; when the drain switch 13 is closed, the drain channel 106 is closed. The drain switch 13 can be a manual switch or an electric switch. For example, the drain switch 13 is a solenoid valve, which can open or close according to a received control signal without manual operation. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the drain switch 13 can be a stopcock switch, a knife gate switch, or a ball valve switch, etc.
[0039] The power pump 12 provides power to transport the liquid in the second chamber 103 to the second channel 105 and / or the drain channel 106. Specifically, when the power pump 12 is working and the drain switch 13 is in the closed state, the power pump 12 transports the liquid in the second chamber 103 to the second channel 105; when the power pump 12 is working and the drain switch 13 is in the open state, the power pump 12 transports part of the liquid in the second chamber 103 to the second channel 105 and part to the drain channel 106. Since the washing chamber 101 is connected to the first chamber 102, the liquid sprayed out of the second channel 105 into the washing chamber 101 then falls into the first chamber 102, and is then transported by the power pump 12 to the second channel 105 and the drain channel 106 respectively. The above operation is repeated until the liquid in the second chamber 103 is drained.
[0040] It should be noted that the cleaning container 11, the first housing 14, and the second housing 15 can be integrally formed, or the cleaning container 11 and the first housing 14 can be integrally formed, while the second housing 15 can be detachably connected to the cleaning container 11 or the first housing 14. Alternatively, the cleaning container 11, the first housing 14, and the second housing 15 can all be independent housing structures. When the cleaning container 11, the first housing 14, and the second housing 15 are integrally formed, the impeller 121 of the power pump 12 extends into the second cavity 103 of the second housing 15. When the second housing 15 is detachable from the cleaning container 11 or the first housing 14, the second housing 15 and the power pump 12 are assembled as independent modules onto the cleaning container 11 or the first housing 14.
[0041] This application discloses a cleaning assembly 10, in which a second cavity 103 is connected to a first cavity 102 and a washing cavity 101 via a first channel 104 and a second channel 105, respectively. A power pump 12 provides power to transport liquid in the second cavity 103 to the second channel 105 and / or a drain channel 106. A drain switch 13 is provided on the drain channel 106, and the drain channel 106 can be opened or closed by controlling the drain switch 13. Specifically, when the drain switch 13 is closed, the power pump 12 only pumps the first cavity 103 to the second channel 105 and / or a drain channel 106. The liquid in the second chamber 103 is transported to the second channel 105 to power the washing water. When the drain switch 13 is open, the power pump 12 can transport the liquid in the water distribution chamber to the second channel 105 and the drain channel 106 to power the drainage. The liquid that is sprayed into the washing chamber 101 through the first channel 104, which is connected to the first chamber 102, then falls into the first chamber 102 and is transported by the power pump 12. This process is repeated until the water in the second chamber 103 is drained. Based on the cooperation between the various components, this application only requires one power pump 12 to power both the washing water and the drainage, reducing the number of devices, greatly reducing product costs, and also reducing the size of the equipment.
[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that: the first cavity 102 is distributed below the washing cavity 101.
[0043] Since the washing chamber 101, the first chamber 102, and the second chamber 103 are connected in sequence, when an external water source is injected into the washing chamber 101, the first chamber 102, or the second chamber 103, under the action of gravity, the liquid is preferentially stored in the first chamber 102 and the second chamber 103. When the cleaning assembly 10 enters the cleaning operation, the power pump 12 starts to work and the drain switch 13 is closed, there is enough water in the second chamber 103 to be pumped to the water spray channel, so there will be no intermittent water spraying.
[0044] It should be noted that before the cleaning assembly 10 begins cleaning, an external water source first injects water into the washing chamber 101, the first chamber 102, or the second chamber 103 through the water inlet 107. For example, the water inlet 107 is located on the cleaning container 11. Since the first chamber 102 is located below the washing chamber 101, the injected liquid is first stored in the first chamber 102 and the second chamber 103 until the first chamber 102 and the second chamber 103 are full. Only then is any excess liquid stored in the washing chamber 101. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the water inlet 107 may also be located on the second housing 15.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that the horizontal height of the first channel 104 is higher than the horizontal height of the inlet of the drainage channel 106.
[0046] In the above embodiment, the cleaning component 10 limits the horizontal height of the first channel 104 to be higher than the horizontal height of the inlet of the drainage channel 106. The high-level design of the first channel 104 reduces the direct impact of liquid flow on the power pump 12 in the second cavity 103, while the low-level drainage channel 106 can use gravity to speed up the drainage.
[0047] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the horizontal height of the inlet of the second channel 105 is higher than the horizontal height of the inlet of the drainage channel 106.
[0048] When the cleaning component 10 drains water, the water inlet of the second channel 105 is at a higher level than the water inlet of the drainage channel 106. The drainage channel 106 is at a lower position, and the liquid in the second cavity 103 naturally converges to the lower drainage channel 106 due to gravity. The power pump 12 only needs to provide a small amount of power to accelerate the discharge of liquid.
[0049] In the above embodiment, the cleaning component 10 defines the inlet of the drainage channel 106 as being at a low position and the inlet of the second channel 105 as being at a high position. When the cleaning component 10 starts to drain water, the power pump 12 only needs to provide a small amount of power to drive the drainage based on the effect of gravity, which not only reduces energy consumption, but also reduces the amount of liquid in the second cavity 103 being transported to the second channel 105.
[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that: the power pump 12 includes an impeller 121 and a drive motor 122, the impeller 121 is located in the second cavity 103, and the drive motor 122 is connected to the impeller 121 in a transmission connection.
[0051] The drive motor 122 drives the impeller 121 to rotate within the second cavity 103, thereby providing power to drive the liquid to flow into the second channel 105 and / or the drainage channel 106. A sealing structure is provided between the drive motor 122 and the second cavity 103 to waterproof the structure other than the output shaft of the drive motor 122. Furthermore, since the inlets of the second channel 105 and the drainage channel 106 are vertically distributed, the impeller 121 can be placed vertically within the second cavity 103.
[0052] Additionally, it should be noted that in other embodiments, the power pump 12 can also force the delivery of liquid through the reciprocating / rotational motion of a piston, gear, or screw.
[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the drain switch 13 is a solenoid valve, and the inlet of the solenoid valve is connected to the outlet of the drain channel 106.
[0054] In the above embodiments, the cleaning component 10 defines the opening or closing of the drainage channel 106 by using a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve can automatically adjust the opening or closing of the solenoid valve according to the set program, such as performing a cleaning task or a drainage task, without the need for manual operation, thus realizing intelligent operation.
[0055] In addition, the solenoid valve can also be linked with the liquid level sensor. When the water level in the washing chamber 101, the first chamber 102, or the second chamber 103 reaches the set value, the solenoid valve can be automatically opened to drain the water.
[0056] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: one of the washing chamber, the first chamber, and the second chamber is provided with a water inlet.
[0057] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning device, including a water spray assembly 20 and the aforementioned cleaning assembly 10. The water inlet of the water spray assembly 20 is connected to the water outlet of the second channel 105. The water spray assembly 20 is used to spray liquid into the equipment to be cleaned in the washing chamber 101.
[0058] The cleaning device disclosed in this application has its inlet of the water spray assembly 20 connected to the outlet of the second channel 105 of the cleaning assembly 10. When performing a cleaning task, the power pump 12 delivers the liquid in the water distribution chamber to the water spray assembly 20 through the second channel 105. The water spray assembly 20 sprays liquid onto the equipment located in the washing chamber 101 at a set angle and / or size to clean it. The cleaning device of this application only requires one power pump 12 to provide power for washing water and drainage, reducing the number of devices, greatly reducing product costs, and also reducing the size of the equipment.
[0059] The water spray assembly 20 can distribute and spray the liquid injected from the second channel 105. The water spray assembly 20 may include multiple spray arms, each with multiple through holes, so that the water spray assembly 20 can clean the equipment from different positions and angles.
[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the water spray assembly 20 includes a first spray arm 21, on which a plurality of spray pipes 210 are formed at intervals, and the spray pipes 210 are connected to the second channel 105.
[0061] The first spray arm 21 may have multiple spray tubes 210, each of which is connected to the second channel 105, and liquid can be sprayed out through the spray tubes 210. Specifically, the bottle with an opening can be inserted upside down into one or more of the spray tubes 210, and high-speed liquid is sprayed out from the spray tubes 210 to clean the space inside the bottle.
[0062] In addition, the length of the spray tube 210 may not be exactly the same, so as to clean the space at different heights inside the bottle and improve the cleaning effect.
[0063] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the water spray assembly 20 also includes a second spray arm 22 and a connecting seat 23. One end of the connecting seat 23 is connected to the outlet of the second channel 105, and the other end is connected to the first spray arm 21 and the second spray arm 22. The second spray arm 22 is provided with a plurality of spaced spray holes 201, and the spray holes 201 are connected to the drainage channel 106.
[0064] The first spray arm 21 and the second spray arm 22 are connected to the second channel 105 via the connecting seat 23. The second channel 105 distributes liquid to the first spray arm 21 and the second spray arm 22 via the connecting seat 23. The second spray arm 22 has multiple spray holes 201, and the high-speed liquid sprayed from the spray holes 201 can clean the surface or inner cavity of a bottle or other equipment that is inverted on the spray pipe 210. It should be noted that the spray directions of the multiple spray holes 201 may not be exactly the same, in order to perform deep cleaning of the equipment to be cleaned from multiple angles and directions. In addition, the first spray arm 21 and the second spray arm 22 are not at the same horizontal level in the washing chamber 101; for example, the horizontal height of the first spray arm 21 is higher than that of the second spray arm 22.
[0065] In other implementations, the water spray assembly 20 may also include a third spray arm and a fourth spray arm, etc., and the number of spray arms may be configured according to the volume, function, etc. of the cleaning device.
[0066] In the above embodiment, the cleaning assembly 10 defines the water spray assembly 20 as having a second spray arm 22 in addition to the first spray arm 21. The first spray arm 21 and the second spray arm 22 are connected to the second channel 105 through the connecting seat 23. The liquid discharged through the second channel 105 is injected into the first spray arm 21 and the second spray arm 22 respectively, and the equipment in the washing chamber 101 is cleaned by the spray pipe 210 and the spray hole 201 respectively, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0067] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the connecting seat 23 is provided with a water guiding channel 202, the water guiding channel 202 is connected to the second channel 105, the first water outlet 203 of the water guiding channel 202 is connected to the spray pipe 210, the second water outlet 204 of the water guiding channel 202 is connected to the spray hole 201, and the second spray arm 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 23.
[0068] The water outlet 203 of the water guide channel 202 can be vertically upward, and the water outlet 204 of the water guide channel 202 can be horizontally outward.
[0069] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0070] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
