[0029] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3 A water tank with a four-sided inlet and outlet includes a body 100. The body 100 has a receiving cavity 103 for holding water. A mounting base 102 is provided on one side of the receiving cavity 103. The mounting base 102 is provided with a faucet 117 and a switch 118. It is understood that the outer periphery of the receiving cavity 103 has an outwardly extending flange 101. The flange 101 has an inlet channel 104 and a drain channel 105 that can communicate with the receiving cavity 103. The drain channel 105 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the receiving cavity 103, and the inlet channel 104 is wrapped around the drain channel 105 and faces away from the outer side of the receiving cavity 103. Tap water can enter the receiving cavity 103 from the inlet channel 104, and water overflowing from the receiving cavity 103 can be discharged from the drain channel 105. Therefore, the switch 118 can inject water into the receiving cavity 103 through the faucet 117 and the water inlet 104 respectively. This facilitates cleaning the inner wall of the receiving cavity 103 when water is injected through the water inlet 104, simplifying operation and reducing water consumption. It is understood that, in addition to cleaning the inner wall of the receiving cavity 103, when water is injected into the receiving cavity 103 through the water inlet 104, the water flows along the inner wall of the receiving cavity 103, preventing splashing when washing or soaking objects and thus avoiding water splashing onto people, improving the user experience.
[0031] Furthermore, the upper part of the inlet channel 104 has a first channel 111 communicating with the receiving cavity 103, and the upper part of the drain channel 105 has a second channel 112 communicating with the receiving cavity 103, with the first channel 111 located above the second channel 112. It is understood that when the liquid level in the receiving cavity 103 reaches a certain height, overflowing water will be discharged from the drain channel 105. Therefore, the first channel 111 being located above the second channel 112 prevents overflowing water from entering the inlet channel 104, keeping the inlet channel 104 clean, thereby keeping the water entering the receiving cavity 103 clean. It is also understood that the drain channel 105 surrounding the outer periphery of the receiving cavity 103 helps improve drainage efficiency and prevents overflow.
[0032] Understandably, the peripheral wall of the receiving cavity 103 is provided with a guide plate 109, with a gap between the guide plate 109 and the peripheral wall of the receiving cavity 103, and the guide plate 109 can simultaneously block the first channel 111 and the second channel 112. On the one hand, the guide plate 109 blocking the first channel 111 improves aesthetics and guides the water discharged from the inlet channel 104, allowing the water to flow along the inner wall of the receiving cavity 103, thereby achieving the function of rinsing the inner wall; on the other hand, the guide plate 109 blocking the second channel 112 enhances the appearance and prevents foreign objects or garbage from entering the inlet channel 104 or the drain channel 105, avoiding the accumulation of dirt and ensuring the efficiency of water inlet and outlet. (Refer to...) Figure 4 and Figure 5 It is understood that the mounting base 102 is provided with a water inlet 116 and a drain outlet 115. The water inlet 116 is located on the side wall of the water inlet channel 104, and the drain outlet 115 is connected to the bottom of the drain channel 105. Furthermore, the bottom wall of the drain channel 105 near the mounting base 102 has multiple drain outlets 115, and the number of water outlets is greater than the number of water inlets 116, thereby ensuring that the drainage efficiency is higher than the water inlet efficiency. Even if the water inlet 116 is opened and water flows from the water inlet channel 104 into the receiving cavity 103, causing it to overflow, the drainage efficiency from the drain channel 105 is still higher than the water inlet efficiency, thereby preventing water from overflowing onto the ground.
[0033] Reference Figure 3It is understood that the main body 100 is provided with a dividing edge 106, which includes a first dividing portion 107 and a second dividing portion 108. The first dividing portion 107 extends vertically and is located between the water inlet channel 104 and the drain channel 105, while the second dividing portion 108 extends horizontally and is located between the first channel 111 and the second channel 112, thus separating the water inlet channel 104 and the drain channel 105. Furthermore, the drain channel 105 is provided with a baffle 110, the top end face of which is higher than the bottom end face of the guide plate 109, thereby ensuring that the second channel 112 can be completely covered by the guide plate 109, ensuring aesthetics. This also prevents foreign objects or dirt from entering the first channel 111 and the second channel 112. Furthermore, the baffle 110 has a blocking portion 113 at its top end, which extends away from the guide plate 109. The blocking portion 113 prevents water discharged from the first channel 111 from directly entering the second channel 112, while ensuring that most of the water can flow along the inner wall of the receiving cavity 103 to achieve the cleaning function. Furthermore, there is an arc surface 114 between the blocking portion 113 and the baffle 110, located at the end of the baffle 110 facing the guide plate 109. When water falls from the first channel 111, a small amount of water will splash onto the opening of the second channel 112, and the arc surface 114 allows the splashed water to flow along the inner wall of the receiving cavity 103.
[0034] It is understandable that the shortest distance between the second partition 108 and the guide plate 109 is S1, and the shortest distance between the baffle 110 and the guide plate 109 is S2, satisfying: S1 < S2, that is, the shortest distance between the second partition 108 and the guide plate 109 is less than the shortest distance between the baffle 110 and the guide plate 109. This can reduce the flow resistance of water along the inner wall of the receiving cavity 103, ensuring that the water entering from the first channel 111 can flow fully into the receiving cavity 103, thereby realizing the cleaning function of the inner wall of the receiving cavity 103.
[0035] It is understandable that the shortest distance between the second partition 108 and the guide plate 109 is S1, and the first channel 111 has a top wall 119. Along the height direction, the shortest distance between the top wall 119 and the second partition 108 is S3, satisfying: S3≤S1. That is, the height of the first channel 111 along the height direction is not greater than the shortest distance between the second partition 108 and the guide plate 109. It is also understandable that the height of the first channel 111 along the height direction is less than the height of the inlet channel 104. During the water intake process, water first fills the cavity of the inlet channel 104, and then enters the receiving cavity 103 from the first channel 111. This helps to create a certain resistance when water is discharged from the first channel 111, thereby ensuring a certain water pressure in the inlet channel 104. Consequently, the water can flow evenly around the receiving cavity 103, achieving a good cleaning effect. Therefore, when S3≤S1, the flow resistance of the water discharged from the first channel 111 can be reduced, and the possibility of water flowing into the second channel 112 due to the Coanda effect can be reduced.
[0036] It is understandable that the shortest distance between the top end face of the baffle 110 and the second partition 108 is S4, and the shortest distance between the top wall 119 and the second partition 108 along the height direction is S3, satisfying: 2S3≤S4. That is, the shortest distance between the top end face of the baffle 110 and the second partition 108 is at least twice the shortest distance between the top wall 119 and the second partition 108. On the one hand, the height of the second channel 112 is greater than the height of the first channel 111 to ensure that the drainage efficiency is higher than the water inlet efficiency. Even if the inlet 116 is opened and water is injected into the receiving cavity 103 from the inlet channel 104, causing it to overflow, it can still ensure that the drainage efficiency from the drain channel 105 is higher than the water inlet efficiency, thereby preventing water from overflowing onto the ground. On the other hand, it can ensure that the first channel 111 has a low height, so that there is a certain resistance when the water is discharged from the first channel 111, thereby ensuring that there is a certain water pressure in the water inlet 104, so that the water can flow out evenly around the accommodating cavity 103 and achieve a good cleaning effect.
[0037] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
