[0023] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, identical or equivalent parts are given the same reference numerals, and their descriptions are not repeated.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the automatic water tank cleaning device 100 (hereinafter also referred to as "device 100") in the embodiments of this disclosure may have a housing 200, and an inlet 300 and outlets 410 and 420 may be provided on the housing 1100. The inlet 300 may be located, for example, at the bottom of the device 100 or at other suitable locations on the housing 200 of the device 100, and the outlets 410 and 420 may be located, for example, at the left and right sides of the device 100 or at other suitable locations on the housing 200 of the device 100.

[0025] The housing 200 is also provided with a filter basket receiving frame 500 for accommodating the filter basket 600. The filter basket receiving frame 500 can be connected to the water inlet 300. For example, an opening communicating with the water inlet 300 can be provided at the bottom of the filter basket receiving frame 500 so that water can enter the filter basket receiving frame 500 from the water inlet 300 and then enter the filter basket 600 in the filter basket receiving frame 500 for filtration by the filter basket 300.

[0026] Furthermore, within the housing 200, flow guides 710 and 720 are also provided. Flow guide 710 is fixed to the filter basket housing 500 on the outer side of the filter basket housing 1200 corresponding to the location of the outlet 410 and is configured to guide the water flowing from the filter basket 600 / filter basket housing 500 to exit through the outlet 410. Flow guide 720 is fixed to the filter basket housing 500 on the outer side of the filter basket housing 1200 corresponding to the location of the outlet 420 and is configured to guide the water flowing from the filter basket 600 to exit through the outlet 420 (e.g., ...). Figure 3 (As shown by the dashed arrow R in the image).

[0027] The device 100 may include pumps 810 and 820, wherein at least a portion of pump 810 is disposed within a flow deflector 710, and at least a portion of pump 820 is disposed within a flow deflector 720. For example, at least a portion of pump 810 including an impeller 811 may be disposed within the flow deflector 710 such that when the impeller 811 rotates within the flow deflector 710, it can drive water flowing from the filter basket 600 / filter basket housing 500 through the flow deflector 710 and out of the outlet 410 (e.g., Figure 3(As shown by the dashed arrow L in the diagram), and at least the portion of the water pump 820 including the impeller 821 can be configured in the guide shroud 720 such that when the impeller 821 rotates within the guide shroud 720, it can drive water flowing from the filter basket 600 / filter basket housing 500 through the guide shroud 720 and out of the outlet 420 (as shown by the dashed arrow L in the diagram), and the portion of the water pump 820 including the impeller 821 can be configured in the guide shroud 720 such that when the impeller 821 rotates within the guide shroud 720, it can drive water flowing from the filter basket 600 / filter basket housing 500 through the guide shroud 720 and out of the outlet 420 (as shown by the dashed arrow L in the diagram). Figure 3 (As shown by the dashed arrow R in the image).

[0028] The flow guides 710 and 720 can be tightly connected and fixed to the outside of the filter basket housing 500 by any suitable means such as integral molding, screw connection and snap-fit, so that there are no gaps between the filter basket housing 500 and the flow guide 710 and between the filter basket housing 500 and the flow guide 720, so that the water pumps 810 and 820 can more efficiently guide the water flowing out of the filter basket housing 500 through the flow guides 710 and 720 and out of the outlet 410.

[0029] As shown in the figure, corresponding to the positions of the outlets 410 and 420, the water pumps 810 and 820 can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the filter basket housing frame 500. Similarly, the guide shield 710 accommodating the water pump 810 (including at least the impeller 811) and the guide shield 720 accommodating the water pump 820 (including at least the impeller 821) can also be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the filter basket housing frame 500. This allows for a more balanced mass distribution of the device 100, which is beneficial for maintaining a stable posture when the device 100 moves through the water tank. Furthermore, this configuration allows for independent control of the water pumps 810 and 820, enabling the guide shields 710 and 720 to guide the discharged water flow on both sides at the same or different flow rates, thereby assisting the device 100 in achieving forward or turning movements.

[0030] In another embodiment, the device 100 may also be configured with one or more water outlets, and corresponding one or more water pumps and flow guides may be configured in accordance with the configured water outlets.

[0031] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, at least one opening 510, 520 can be provided on the side of the filter basket receiving frame 500 that connects to the flow deflector 710, and on the side of the filter basket receiving frame 500 that connects to the flow deflector 720, such that the flow deflector 710 or 720 and the filter basket receiving frame 500 are in communication with each other through such opening 510, 520. Such at least one opening 510, 520 can be located within the edge contour of the flow deflector 710 or 720 that connects to the corresponding side, such that... Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, after the flow guides 710 and 720 are connected and fixed to the filter basket housing 500, there are no openings or gaps on at least the side of the filter basket housing 500 that is in contact with the flow guide 710 and the side that is in contact with the flow guide 720, so as to ensure water flow guidance efficiency.

[0032] The number, shape, distribution, and size of openings 510 can be determined based on one or more factors such as the side area of ​​the filter basket housing 500, the size of the flow guide shroud 710 or 720, the size of the internal space of the housing 200, and the shape and size of the water pumps 810 and 820. For example, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, opening 510 is formed in a honeycomb mesh pattern on the filter basket housing frame 500, and opening 520 includes multiple square openings arranged side by side. This structure is neat and aesthetically pleasing, and facilitates the achievement of a robust and stable structure with less material, while ensuring water flow between the filter basket housing frame 500 and the flow deflectors 710 and 720. In another embodiment, openings 510 and 520 can take any other suitable form; for example, opening 520 may also include one or more honeycomb openings.

[0033] like Figure 9 As shown, a flow channel 910 with a hollow tubular structure, for example, can be configured at the outlet of the flow guide 710 to connect the flow guide 710 and the outlet 410 and guide the water flow in the flow guide 710 to flow out of the outlet 410 in a specified direction. Similarly, a flow channel 920 with a hollow tubular structure, for example, can be configured at the outlet of the flow guide 720 to connect the flow guide 720 and the outlet 420 and guide the water flow in the flow guide 720 to flow out of the outlet 420 in a specified direction.

[0034] For example, the flow channel 710 can be configured to be detachably connected to the outlet of the fairing 710 or integrally formed with the fairing 710. Similarly, the flow channel 720 can be configured to be detachably connected to the outlet of the fairing 720 or integrally formed with the fairing 720.

[0035] In addition, such as Figure 9 As shown, at least one guide plate 911 can also be configured in the flow channel 910 (e.g., near the outlet of the flow channel 910) to allow water to flow out of the outlet 410 in a specified direction, and at least one guide plate 921 can also be configured in the flow channel 920 (e.g., near the outlet of the flow channel 920) to allow water to flow out of the outlet 420 in a specified direction. This allows for better guidance of the water flow.
