Detailed Implementation
[0022] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0023] This utility model relates to an integrated water tank, including a tank body 100, a water inlet mechanism 200, a liquid suction mechanism 300, an air inlet mechanism 400, a mixing mechanism 500, and a nozzle 600.
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the water inlet mechanism 200, liquid suction mechanism 300, air intake mechanism 400, and nozzle 600 are all connected to the mixing mechanism 500 via their respective pipes, such as hoses. The water inlet mechanism 200 is connected to an external water supply pipe, controlling the delivery of tap water to the mixing mechanism 500. The liquid suction mechanism 300 is connected to an external container 700, which stores foaming liquid, such as dish soap; the external container 700 can be a dish soap bottle, etc. The liquid suction mechanism 300 draws the foaming liquid from the external container 700 into the mixing mechanism 500. The air intake mechanism 400 draws outside air into the mixing mechanism 500. Water, air, and foaming liquid are thoroughly mixed in the mixing mechanism 500 to form foam, which is then sprayed outward through the nozzle 600. The nozzle 600 is mounted on the integrated water tank. Preferably, the nozzle 600 is mounted on the side wall of the integrated water tank. The nozzle 600 is equipped with multiple nozzles 610. The foam is distributed to each nozzle 610 and sprayed out. The sprayed foam disperses to form a "foam rain" that is sprayed into the tank 100. The foam can be well dispersed onto the surface of the items in the tank 100 through the nozzle 600, making it convenient for users to clean the items with foam.
[0025] The liquid suction mechanism 300 can use a water pump or the like to extract the foaming liquid. In one embodiment, the liquid suction mechanism 300 includes a diaphragm pump 310 and a metering sensor 320. The metering sensor 320 is installed in the external container 700 and detects the liquid level in the container; the metering sensor 320 can also be a liquid level sensor. The diaphragm pump 310 is connected between the external container 700 and the mixing mechanism 500 via a hose. The diaphragm pump 310 allows for precise control of the amount of foaming liquid drawn in. The metering sensor 320 and the diaphragm pump 310 can be connected to an external control system. When the metering sensor 320 detects that the amount of foaming liquid in the external container 700 is lower than a preset value, the metering sensor 320 feeds a signal back to the control system, which then prompts the user to add more foaming liquid. The control system controls the start / stop and discharge rate of the diaphragm pump 310, thereby precisely controlling the discharge rate of the foaming liquid. Furthermore, the liquid suction mechanism 300 also includes a buzzer 330. The buzzer 330 and the metering sensor 320 can be electrically connected through the control system. When the metering sensor 320 detects that the liquid level in the external container 700 is lower than the preset liquid level, the metering sensor 320 feeds a signal back to the control system, and the control system controls the buzzer 330 to sound, thereby prompting the user to add foaming liquid.
[0026] In one embodiment, the air intake mechanism 400 includes an air pump 410 and a gas pressure regulating device 420. The air pump 410 is connected to the mixing mechanism 500 via an air pipe. The gas pressure regulating device 420 can be an electronic pressure regulating valve, etc. The gas pressure regulating device 420 is installed on the suction end of the air pump 410, and controls the suction pressure of the air pump 410 to adjust the ratio of air, foaming liquid, and water drawn into the mixing mechanism 500. For example, when fine foam is needed, the gas pressure regulating device 420 appropriately increases the suction gas pressure of the air pump 410, increasing the air ratio and making the bubbles smaller, resulting in a better impact and mixing effect on the foaming liquid. When thicker foam is needed, the gas pressure regulating device 420 appropriately decreases the suction gas pressure of the air pump 410, reducing the air ratio, decreasing the impact on the foaming liquid and water, and reducing the mixing effect. The air pump 410 and the gas pressure regulating device 420 can be connected to an external control system via wires.
[0027] In one embodiment, the water inlet mechanism 200 includes a control valve 210 and a flow sensor 220. The control valve 210 is connected to the mixing mechanism 500 via a water inlet pipe 230. The control valve 210 can be an electrically controlled valve, ball valve, or other valve capable of controlling the opening and closing of the water inlet pipe 230. In this embodiment, the control valve 210 is mounted on the tank 100 and is a push-button type manual control water valve. The upstream side of the control valve 210 is connected to a water supply system, such as a tap water pipeline. The flow sensor 220 is provided on the water inlet pipe 230 and is used to detect the flow rate of water supplied to the mixing mechanism 500. The flow sensor 220 is electrically connected to the liquid suction mechanism 300 and the air intake mechanism 400 through a control system. A flow sensor 220 detects the water flow rate in real time and feeds the flow signal back to the control system. The control system then controls the air intake of the air intake mechanism 400 and the amount of foaming liquid extracted by the liquid suction mechanism 300 based on the water flow rate, thereby controlling the foaming ratio of the foaming liquid in the mixing mechanism 500. Furthermore, the water intake mechanism 200 also includes a water control valve 240. The water control valve 240 is installed on the integrated water tank, and a control valve 210 is connected between the water control valve 240 and the mixing mechanism 500. The water control valve 240 can be a rotary switch and is used to control the water flow rate. Initially, the nozzle can be rinsed with water through the water intake mechanism before the air intake mechanism 400 and the liquid suction mechanism 300 are activated for foaming treatment.
[0028] This system also includes a control circuit module. The flow sensor 220 of the water inlet mechanism 200, the diaphragm pump 310 and gas pressure regulating device 420 of the liquid suction mechanism 300, and the air pump 410 of the air inlet mechanism 400 are all electrically connected to the control circuit module via wires. The control circuit module is one embodiment of the aforementioned control system. The control circuit module can be operated via a touchscreen, mechanical buttons, or remote control.
[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the mixing mechanism 500 includes a mixing chamber 510 and a filter screen 520. The mixing chamber 510 is provided with a water inlet 511, an air inlet 512, a liquid inlet 513, and a foam outlet 514. The water inlet 511 is connected to the water inlet mechanism 200 via a water pipe. The liquid inlet 513 is connected to the liquid suction mechanism 300 via a hose. The air inlet 512 is connected to the air inlet mechanism 400 via an air pipe. The foam outlet 514 is connected to the nozzle 600 via a hose. The filter screen 520 is installed on the downstream side of the mixing chamber 510. The mixing chamber 510 may also be equipped with baffles or other components. Water, foaming liquid, and air are mixed and foamed in the mixing chamber 510, and then the mixture is further foamed after passing through the filter screen 520, resulting in a better mixing and foaming effect.
