[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated in this description is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the parts or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a washing kettle, including a kettle body 10 and a mounting bracket 11 disposed on the kettle body 10. The kettle body 10 is positioned between a front bumper beam 20 and a side panel 30, and is mounted to the front bumper beam 20 and the side panel 30 via the mounting bracket 11. This utility model can improve the stability and reliability of the washing kettle mounting structure, prevent damage to the washing kettle, and protect the integrity of the washing kettle.

[0024] Please continue reading. Figure 2The mounting bracket 11 includes a main mounting bracket 111 and a secondary mounting bracket 112. The main mounting bracket 111 is located on the side of the washing pot body 10 near the front anti-collision beam 20, and the secondary mounting bracket 112 is located on the side of the washing pot body 10 near the side panel 30. The washing pot body 10 is fastened to the front anti-collision beam 20 and the side panel 30 respectively through the main mounting bracket 111 and the secondary mounting bracket 112. In existing technologies, the installation structure of the washing jug is arranged on the same side of the washing jug. When the washing jug is filled with water, the washing water tends to be biased to one side as the vehicle moves back and forth. If the water is biased to the side away from the installation structure, the installation structure is prone to local tearing under the pull of force. Therefore, this utility model distributes the main mounting bracket 111 and the auxiliary mounting bracket 112 on different sides of the washing jug body 10, and securely installs them to the front anti-collision beam 20 and the side panel 30 respectively. This can prevent the mounting bracket 10 on the other side from being partially broken when the washing water is biased to one side, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the washing jug installation structure.

[0025] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the main mounting bracket 111 and the front bumper beam 20, the main mounting bracket 111 is provided with a first mounting surface 1111, through which the main mounting bracket 111 is installed with the front bumper beam 20. Specifically, the front bumper beam 20 is provided with mounting bolts 41, and the first mounting surface 1111 is provided with a first mounting hole 42. The mounting bolts 41 pass through the first mounting hole 42 and cooperate with the mounting nut 43 to securely install the main mounting bracket 111 and the front bumper beam 20. This assembly method can serve as a pre-hanging mechanism for the washing jug body 10, improving the convenience of assembling the washing jug in the workshop.

[0026] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the secondary mounting bracket 112 and the side panel 30, and to buffer the gravity of the washing liquid inside the washing jug body 10, the main mounting bracket 111 is provided with a second mounting surface 1121, through which the secondary mounting bracket 112 is installed with the side panel 30. Specifically, the side panel 30 is provided with screw holes, and the second mounting surface 1121 is provided with a second mounting hole 44. The mounting screw 45 passes through the second mounting hole 44 and engages with the screw hole to securely install the secondary mounting bracket 112 with the side panel 30.

[0027] It should be noted that the number of main mounting brackets 111 and auxiliary mounting brackets 112 is not limited and can be set according to the actual installation needs of the washing pot body 10.

[0028] Furthermore, the washing kettle body 10 is provided with a clearance structure 12, which is a recessed part on the outer surface of the washing kettle body 10, used to avoid the buffer block 21 on the front anti-collision beam 20. Because the installation position of the washing kettle body 10 is not reasonable, being too close to the front anti-collision beam 20, and because the buffer block 21 is located on the inner side of the front anti-collision beam 20, when the front anti-collision beam 20 collides, the front anti-collision beam 20 is subjected to force, causing the buffer block 21 to move backward, that is, towards the washing kettle body 10. During this movement, the washing kettle body 10 is easily damaged. Therefore, this utility model provides a clearance structure 12 on the washing kettle body 10. The clearance structure 12 is a recessed part on the outer surface of the washing kettle body 10, which can form a certain gap with the buffer block 21 on the front anti-collision beam 20, avoiding the buffer block 21 and protecting the washing kettle body 10. A water level sensor 70 is provided on the outside of the washing jug body 10. The water level sensor 70 is used to detect the remaining volume of washing solution in the washing jug body 10. When the washing solution drops to the minimum standard, an alarm can be triggered. Since there is a gap between the avoidance structure 12 and the front anti-collision beam 20, the water level sensor 70 is installed at the bottom of the avoidance structure 12, which can also protect the water level sensor 70 from being damaged.

[0029] Furthermore, a power assembly 50 is provided on the outer bottom of the washing jug body 10. The power assembly 50 includes a washing motor 51 and a washing pump 52. The washing motor 51 is connected to the washing pump 52. The washing pump 52 is connected to the interior of the washing jug body 10 through the water inlet 60 and is used to draw washing liquid from the washing jug body 10. A protective cover 13 is provided on the outer periphery of the power assembly 50. The protective cover 13 can protect the power assembly 50, reduce the risk of the power assembly 50 falling off or breaking due to collisions during transportation, and protect the integrity of the washing jug.

[0030] Specifically, the protective cover 13 includes a snap-fit ​​interface 131, a support plate 132, and a protective plate 133. The support plate 132 is connected to the washing kettle body 10. The washing motor 51 and the washing pump 52 are located on the support plate 132 to bear the weight of the washing motor 51 and the washing pump 52, thus preventing the washing motor 51 and the washing pump 52 from breaking off from the washing kettle body 10 due to gravity. The protective plate 133 is located on both sides of the support plate 132, and the two sides of the washing motor 51 and the washing pump 52 are blocked by the protective plate 133, thus preventing the washing motor 51 from being knocked off during transportation. The snap-fit ​​interface 131 is located above the protective plate 133, and the top of the washing pump 52 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​interface 131, further improving the stability of the installation of the washing pump 52.

[0031] Please continue reading. Figure 3The washing jug body 10 includes a main receiving cavity 14 and a secondary receiving cavity 15 communicating with the main receiving cavity 14. The secondary receiving cavity 15 protrudes downward from the bottom of the main receiving cavity 14. Both the main receiving cavity 14 and the secondary receiving cavity 15 are used to store washing solution. The washing pump 52 is connected to the water inlet 60 and communicates with the main receiving cavity 14 and the secondary receiving cavity 15 through the water inlet 60. It is used to draw washing solution from the main receiving cavity 14 and the secondary receiving cavity 15, and the height of the water inlet 60 is set to be lower than the bottom of the main receiving cavity 14. The washing motor 51 is connected to a washing water pipe 90, which delivers the drawn washing solution to the front windshield and the rear windshield for cleaning. In the prior art, because the height of the inlet 60 is higher than the bottom of the main receiving cavity 14, the remaining washing liquid at the bottom of the main receiving cavity 14 cannot be drawn up, resulting in waste of washing liquid. Therefore, this utility model provides a secondary receiving cavity 15 that communicates with the main receiving cavity 14, and the secondary receiving cavity 15 is located at the bottom of the main receiving cavity 14 and protrudes downward from the bottom of the main receiving cavity 14. The height of the inlet 60 is set to be lower than the bottom of the main receiving cavity 14, which can increase the amount of washing solution drawn out of the cavity and avoid waste of washing liquid.

[0032] Please continue reading. Figure 4 Because the water level sensor 70 has a wiring harness 80 and the washing motor 51 has a washing water pipe 90, the wiring harness 80 and the washing water pipe 90 can easily make the appearance of the washing kettle body 10 look messy. Therefore, this utility model provides multiple mounting plates 16 on the outer surface of the washing kettle body 10 (see... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting plate 16 has a through hole 161 and a notch 162. The through hole 161 can be used with a rope or other binding tool to bind the wire harness 80 and the washing water pipe 90. The notch 162 is used to hold the wire harness 80 and the washing water pipe 90 in place. This can improve the integration of the washing pot and the ease of assembly of the wire harness 80 and the washing water pipe 90.

[0033] As described above, the washing jug provided by this utility model arranges the mounting brackets 11 in different directions of the washing jug, making the entire washing jug mounting structure more stable; at the same time, an auxiliary receiving cavity 15 is added to the bottom of the washing jug, and the height of the water inlet 60 is reduced, which can increase the amount of washing solution extracted; a protective cover 13 is set on the outer periphery of the power component 50 to prevent the power component 50 from being knocked off or broken during transportation; multiple mounting plates 16 are set on the outer surface of the washing jug body 10 to install the wiring harness 80 and the washing water pipe 90, which improves the integration of the washing jug.

[0034] This utility model also provides a vehicle, including the washing jug as described above. For other technical features of the vehicle, please refer to the prior art, which will not be repeated here.
