Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a clean water tank structure used in cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In existing cleaning equipment, the water tank supplying water to the floor brush head often presents several problems. Traditional water supply structures typically use ordinary water pumps to drive the water flow, but leaks are prone to occur at the connection between the pump and the water pipes, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Furthermore, ordinary water pumps have low precision in controlling the water flow, unable to accurately adjust the water output according to cleaning needs, potentially leading to excessive water usage and waste, or insufficient water affecting cleaning effectiveness. In addition, ordinary water pumps have relatively complex structures, and their internal components, such as impellers, are easily worn and clogged by impurities in the water, reducing the pump's lifespan, increasing maintenance costs and frequency, and causing inconvenience to users.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, it is necessary to design a clean water tank structure for use in cleaning equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a clean water tank structure for use in cleaning equipment, so as to solve the problems of water leakage, low water flow control accuracy, easy damage to water pumps and high maintenance costs in the existing clean water tank water supply structure.

[0005] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is: a clean water tank structure applied in cleaning equipment, comprising:

[0006] A water tank is provided in the cleaning equipment. The top of the water tank is provided with a water inlet, and the bottom of the water tank is provided with a water outlet.

[0007] A water distribution tray is installed in the floor brush head of the cleaning equipment, and the water distribution tray is provided with a water inlet;

[0008] A water outlet hose, one end of which is connected to the water outlet and the other end of which is connected to the water inlet;

[0009] A peristaltic pump, which is mounted on the outlet hose, is used to drive the water in the outlet hose to flow toward the water distribution plate.

[0010] The preferred technical solution is as follows: the peristaltic pump consists of a motor, a guide seat, a drive disc, and an end cap. The guide seat is fixed to the end of the motor and includes a disc-shaped base plate and a semi-circular enclosure structure formed at the edge of a portion of the base plate. The output shaft of the motor extends through the center of the base plate and is used to drive the drive disc to rotate. The center of the drive disc protrudes outward to form a connecting cylinder. The end cap is a disc-shaped structure and is coaxially fixed to the end of the connecting cylinder. The end cap and the drive disc are arranged parallel to each other at a distance. The pump also includes a squeezing roller, which is located between the end cap and the drive disc and is configured to cooperate with the enclosure structure to squeeze water out of the outlet hose.

[0011] A preferred technical solution is that, in the radial direction, the distance between the squeezing roller and the enclosure structure is smaller than the outer diameter of the outlet hose.

[0012] A preferred technical solution is that a circular groove is formed on the end face of the base plate, and the drive disk is fixed on the output shaft of the motor and located in the circular groove.

[0013] The preferred technical solution is as follows: the connecting cylinder is configured as a cylindrical structure, the output shaft of the motor is inserted into the connecting cylinder, the end cap is provided with a mounting hole at the center, and the part of the motor output shaft extending out of the connecting cylinder is inserted into the mounting hole for fixation.

[0014] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] The clean water tank structure proposed in this utility model for use in cleaning equipment uses a peristaltic pump to drive the water flow in the outlet hose. A squeezing roller and a surrounding structure work together to squeeze the water out of the hose, thus supplying water and avoiding the leakage problems at the connection between traditional water pumps and pipes. Simultaneously, a motor-driven drive disc rotates, causing the squeezing roller to continuously squeeze the hose, allowing for precise control of water flow speed and volume, ensuring a stable water supply during cleaning. Furthermore, the peristaltic pump's structural design makes it less susceptible to impurities in the water, reducing wear and clogging, extending the equipment's lifespan, and lowering maintenance costs.

[0020] Example:

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown in an exemplary embodiment of this utility model, a clean water tank structure for use in a cleaning device is disclosed, including a water tank, a water distribution tray, a water outlet hose, and a peristaltic pump; the water tank is installed in the main body of the cleaning device, with a water inlet at the top for injecting clean water into the tank, and a water outlet at the bottom connected to one end of the water outlet hose; the water distribution tray is installed inside the floor brush head of the cleaning device for evenly distributing clean water to cleaning brushes and other components, with a water inlet on the water distribution tray connected to the other end of the water outlet hose; the peristaltic pump is installed on the water outlet hose for driving water flow from the water tank to the water distribution tray.

[0022] The peristaltic pump consists of a motor 1, a guide seat 2, a drive disc 3, an end cover 4, and a squeezing roller 5. The guide seat 2 is fixed to the end of the motor 1. A circular groove is formed on the disc-shaped base plate 21 of the guide seat 2. The drive disc 3 is fixed on the output shaft of the motor 1 and located within the circular groove, which improves the stability of the drive disc 3 during rotation. A semi-circular enclosure structure 22 is formed on part of the edge of the base plate 21 of the guide seat 2. The output shaft of the motor 1 extends from the center of the base plate 21 and drives the drive disc 3 to rotate. The connecting cylinder 31 at the center of the drive disc 3 is a cylindrical structure. The output shaft of the motor 1 is inserted into the connecting cylinder 31. The end cover 4 is a disc-shaped structure. The mounting hole 41 at its center is fitted onto the part of the motor 1 output shaft that extends out of the connecting cylinder 31 and is fixed, so that the end cover 4 and the drive disc 3 are arranged parallel to each other at intervals. The squeezing roller 5 is installed between the end cover 4 and the drive disc 3. In the radial direction, the distance between the squeezing roller 5 and the enclosure structure 22 is less than the outer diameter of the water outlet hose 6. When the drive disc 3 rotates under the drive of the motor 1, the squeezing roller 5 rotates accordingly, and works with the enclosure structure 22 to squeeze the water outlet hose 6, thereby squeezing out the water in the water outlet hose 6 and pushing it toward the water distribution disc.

[0023] Therefore, this utility model has the following advantages: by using the squeezing water supply method of the peristaltic pump, the leakage problem of traditional water pumps is avoided; the water output can be precisely controlled, ensuring the cleaning effect while saving water resources; the peristaltic pump structure is not easily affected by impurities, has less wear, extends service life, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0024] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
