Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a dispensing device, cleaning equipment, and cleaning system. Background Technology

[0002] With continuous technological advancements, home appliances with various cleaning functions are constantly emerging, such as robot vacuums and mops that can sweep and mop, and garment processing devices. The individual placement of multiple appliances can make a home environment feel cramped. Therefore, to reduce the space occupied by appliances and improve space utilization, related technologies integrate appliances with different functions. For example, the base station of a floor cleaning device can be placed below a garment processing device.

[0003] In technologies that combine floor cleaning devices with clothing handling devices as cleaning equipment, the base station for the floor cleaning device and the clothing handling device are often simply stacked together as independent modules.

[0050] Floor cleaning devices typically include cleaning units to wipe away dirt and grime. After cleaning, the cleaning unit's surface accumulates various contaminants such as water stains, dust, and grease, requiring timely cleaning. Generally, floor cleaning devices have a dedicated base station containing a cleaning chamber. After completing a cleaning task, the device returns to the base station for further cleaning. The base station includes a structure for dispensing cleaning fluid into the cleaning chamber to improve cleaning efficiency. Clothing handling devices typically consist of a washing chamber, a dispensing box, and a structure for dispensing cleaning fluid from the dispensing box into the washing chamber. In technologies that combine floor cleaning devices and clothing handling devices into integrated cleaning systems, the base station and clothing handling device are often simply stacked together as independent modules. This simple stacking of the base station and clothing handling device results in separate cleaning fluid dispensing structures for the floor cleaning device and the clothing handling device, leading to an overall bulky cleaning system that is unsuitable for existing home décor and negatively impacts user experience.

[0051] In view of the above problems, embodiments of this application provide a dispensing device, a cleaning equipment, and a cleaning system, aiming to solve the technical problem of low device integration.

[0052] To illustrate the technical solution of this application, the dispensing device, cleaning equipment, and cleaning system provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a front view schematic diagram of a cleaning device 1000 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a connection diagram of the water supply device 1100, base station 1200, clothing processing device 1300, and dispensing device 1400 in the cleaning equipment 1000 provided in this application embodiment. Figure 3 This is a connection diagram of the water supply device 1100, water supply pipeline and dispensing device 1400 in the cleaning equipment 1000 provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0054] The garment handling unit 1300 is used to clean clothes. For example, it can perform washing, rinsing, hot water washing, or steam washing. Additionally, it can also be equipped with functions such as dehydration, sterilization, or drying. The garment handling unit 1300 can be configured to function as either a front-loading washing machine or a top-loading washing machine. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 The diagram illustrates the drum 1310 of the garment processing device 1300. The space inside the drum 1310 is the washing chamber 1320, where the garments to be cleaned can be placed.

[0055] The base station 1200 is used to store idle floor cleaning equipment. The base station 1200 has a cleaning chamber 1210 for housing the floor cleaning equipment and for cleaning the cleaning unit of the floor cleaning equipment. For example, in some embodiments, the base station 1200 can also charge the floor cleaning equipment, collect dust from the dust collection box inside the floor cleaning equipment, and replenish water to the floor cleaning equipment.

[0056] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 1 The cleaning equipment 1000 includes a housing frame 1500, within which a first accommodating space and a second accommodating space are formed. The cylinder 1310 is located within the first accommodating space, and the base station 1200 is located within the second accommodating space. The second accommodating space is located below the first accommodating space, so that the ground cleaning equipment can automatically move into the base station 1200.

[0057] Understandably, the water supply device 1100 in the cleaning equipment 1000 is used to inject cleaning water into the cleaning chamber 1210 and the washing chamber 1320. Please refer to... Figure 2The water supply device 1100 includes components such as a water control element 1110, a first water supply pipe 1120, and a second water supply pipe 1130. Specifically, the water control element 1110 includes a water control inlet 1111, a first controllable outlet 1112, and a second controllable outlet 1113. The water control inlet 1111 is used to connect to an external water source. The first controllable outlet 1112 is connected to the washing chamber 1320 in the clothing processing device 1300 through the first water supply pipe 1120 to provide washing water to the washing chamber 1320. The second controllable outlet 1113 is connected to the cleaning chamber 1210 in the base station 1200 through the second water supply pipe 1130 to provide cleaning water to the cleaning unit of the ground cleaning equipment.

[0058] By designing the water control element 1110, the water supply control of the washing chamber 1320 in the clothing processing device 1300 and the cleaning chamber 1210 in the base station 1200 is realized. It can flexibly provide the required clean water source for the washing chamber 1320 and the cleaning chamber 1210, meeting the needs of different cleaning tasks.

[0059] For example, the water inlet 1111 of the water control element 1110 can be connected to the first controllable outlet 1112, in which case washing water can be supplied to the washing chamber 1320 through the first water supply pipe 1120. Alternatively, the water inlet 1111 of the water control element 1110 can be connected to the second controllable outlet 1113, in which case washing water for the cleaning unit can be supplied to the cleaning chamber 1210 through the second water supply pipe 1130. Alternatively, the water inlet 1111 can be connected to both the first controllable outlet 1112 and the second controllable outlet 1113 simultaneously, in which case the water control element 1110 can supply water to both the washing chamber 1320 and the cleaning chamber 1210 at the same time.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The dispensing device 1400 provided in this application embodiment includes a dispensing box 1420 and a mixing box 1430.

[0061] The dispensing box 1420 is used to hold cleaning liquid. Specifically, the dispensing box 1420 is constructed with a cleaning liquid receiving tank 1421. The dispensing box 1420 can be pulled out from the garment handling device 1300, exposing the opening of the receiving tank 1421. After the cleaning liquid is dispensed into the receiving tank 1421, the dispensing box 1420 is pushed back into the garment handling device 1300.

[0062] The dispensing box 1420 is used to communicate with the base station 1200. The dispensing box 1420 can be connected to the cleaning chamber 1210 in the base station 1200 via a pipeline, allowing the cleaning fluid in the dispensing box 1420 to flow into the cleaning chamber 1210 under negative pressure, gravity, or other conditions. Alternatively, the dispensing device 1400 can also include a dispensing pump 1440, which dispenses the cleaning fluid from the receiving tank 1421 into the cleaning chamber 1210 in the base station 1200. Optionally, the dispensing pump 1440 and the cleaning chamber 1210 can be connected via a pipeline.

[0063] The mixing tank 1430 is connected to the dispensing tank 1420. The mixing tank 1430 can be directly mounted on the dispensing tank 1420, with the dispensing tank 1420 positioned above the mixing tank 1430. The dispensing tank 1420 has a dispensing port that connects to the mixing tank 1430, allowing the cleaning solution in the dispensing tank 1420 to fall into the mixing tank 1430 under its own weight. Alternatively, the dispensing device 1400 can also include a dispensing pump 1440, which dispenses the cleaning solution from the receiving tank 1421 into the mixing tank 1430. Optionally, the dispensing pump 1440 and the mixing tank 1430 can be connected by a pipeline.

[0064] The mixing tank 1430 is used to communicate with the garment processing device 1300, that is, the mixing tank 1430 is connected to the washing chamber 1320 in the garment processing device 1300, and the cleaning liquid added to the mixing tank 1430 can flow into the washing chamber 1320 in the garment processing device 1300.

[0065] The mixing box 1430 is used to communicate with the water supply device 1100, that is, the mixing box 1430 is connected to the first water supply pipe 1120 in the water supply device 1100.

[0066] In the dispensing device 1400 of this application embodiment, the mixing box 1430 is connected to the dispensing box 1420, allowing the cleaning liquid in the receiving tank 1421 to be added to the mixing box 1430. The mixing box 1430 is connected to the water supply device 1100, allowing cleaning water to flow into the mixing box 1430. The flow path of the cleaning liquid entering the washing chamber 1320 of the laundry treatment device 1300 is: dispensing box 1420 → dispensing pump 1440 → mixing box 1430 → washing chamber 1320. The flow path of the cleaning water entering the washing chamber 1320 of the laundry treatment device 1300 is: water source → water control element 1110 → first water supply pipe 1120 → mixing box 1430 → washing chamber 1320. This allows the cleaning water entering the washing chamber 1320 to rinse the mixing box 1430 and carry the cleaning liquid in the mixing box 1430 into the washing chamber 1320. On the one hand, this allows the cleaning liquid to be fully mixed with the cleaning water in the mixing box 1430 beforehand, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning effect of the garment treatment device 1300. On the other hand, it prevents cleaning liquid residue in the mixing box 1430.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 The water control element 1110 also includes a third controllable water outlet 1114, which is connected to the washing chamber 1320 in the clothing handling device 1300 via a third water supply pipe 1140.

[0068] By adding a third controllable water outlet 1114, the functionality of the cleaning equipment 1000 can be further expanded. At this time, it is not necessary to use the mixing box 1430 to provide an additional water source for the washing chamber 1320, such as rinsing water or spray filter cleaning water, which helps to reduce flow resistance and reduce equipment energy consumption.

[0069] In the dispensing device 1400 of this application embodiment, by integrating the structure for dispensing cleaning liquid to the base station 1200 and the structure for dispensing cleaning liquid to the clothing treatment device 1300 on the dispensing device 1400, the integration level of the dispensing device 1400 can be improved, thereby reducing the volume of the cleaning equipment 1000 having the dispensing device 1400 of this application.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 4 The dispensing box 1420 is provided with a receiving tank 1421 for holding cleaning liquid. The suction port of the dispensing pump 1440 is connected to the receiving tank 1421, and the discharge port of the dispensing pump 1440 is connected to the cleaning chamber 1210 and the mixing box 1430 in the base station 1200.

[0071] The outlet of the dispensing pump 1440 is connected to both the base station 1200 and the mixing box 1430. Alternatively, the dispensing pump 1440 may include one outlet, which is connected to the cleaning chamber 1210 in the base station 1200 and the mixing box 1430 via two pipes. Or, the dispensing pump 1440 may include at least two outlets, with at least one outlet connected to the mixing box 1430 and at least one outlet connected to the cleaning chamber 1210 in the base station 1200.

[0072] In some embodiments, the receiving tank 1421 is a single tank, i.e., the dispensing pump 1440 includes a suction port communicating with the receiving tank 1421, and the base station 1200 and the clothing handling device 1300 use one tank.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the dispensing box 1420 includes at least a first tank 1422 and a second tank 1423, and the dispensing pump 1440 includes at least a first suction port 1441, a second suction port 1442, a first discharge port 1443, and a second discharge port 1444. The first suction port 1441 is connected to the first tank 1422, the first discharge port 1443 is connected to the mixing box 1430, the second suction port 1442 is connected to the second tank 1423, and the second discharge port 1444 is connected to the base station 1200.

[0074] In the above embodiment, by setting up independent first tank 1422 and second tank 1423, different types of cleaning solutions can be placed in the first tank 1422 and second tank 1423 to meet the different cleaning needs of the washing and cleaning units. Furthermore, with the addition of the dispensing pump 1440, dual-channel dispensing can be achieved with a single pump 1440, which helps reduce implementation costs and equipment size.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the dispensing device 1400 further includes a dispensing pipe 1490, one end of which is connected to the second outlet 1444 of the dispensing pump 1440, and the other end is connected to the base station 1200.

[0076] By setting up the dispensing tube 1490, the cleaning solution can be first dispensed into the base station 1200.

[0077] In the above embodiment, the flow path of the cleaning liquid entering the washing chamber 1320 of the clothing treatment device 1300 is as follows: first tank 1422 → first suction port 1441 → dispensing pump 1440 → first discharge port 1443 → mixing box 1430 → washing chamber 1320.

[0078] In some embodiments, the dispensing box 1420 may further include a third compartment for containing fabric softener, disinfectant, or other additives. That is, the dispensing box 1420 may include three, four, or more compartments to meet different usage needs. Correspondingly, the dispensing pump 1440 is provided with multiple suction ports, each connected to a compartment in a one-to-one manner.

[0079] In some embodiments, the dispensing pump 1440 is configured to dispense cleaning fluid to one of the mixing tank 1430 and the base station 1200 when rotated in a first direction, and the dispensing pump 1440 is further configured to dispense cleaning fluid to the other of the mixing tank 1430 and the base station 1200 when rotated in a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are different. By controlling the rotation direction of the dispensing pump 1440, it can be selectively made to dispense cleaning fluid to either the mixing tank 1430 or the base station 1200. For example, the dispensing pump 1440 may be a peristaltic pump.

[0080] In other embodiments, the dispensing pump 1440 includes a first pump body and a second pump body. The first pump body is used to dispense the cleaning liquid in the dispensing box 1420 into the mixing box 1430, and the second pump body is used to dispense the cleaning liquid in the dispensing box 1420 into the base station 1200. When the dispensing pump 1440 has a first suction port 1441, a second suction port 1442, a first discharge port 1443, and a second discharge port 1444, the first suction port 1441 and the first discharge port 1443 are disposed in the first pump body, and the second suction port 1442 and the second discharge port 1444 are disposed in the second pump body.

[0081] By setting up dual pumps, cleaning solution can be simultaneously and separately dispensed into the mixing box 1430 and the base station 1200, achieving precise dispensing. It is understood that when the dispensing box 1420 includes three, four, or more tanks, the dispensing pump 1440 includes multiple pump bodies, each connected one-to-one with a tank.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the dispensing device 1400 further includes a venturi tube 1450, which is configured with an inlet 1451, an outlet 1452 and a suction port 1453. The inlet 1451 is connected to the water supply device 1100, the outlet 1452 is connected to the clothing treatment device 1300, and the suction port 1453 is connected to the mixing box 1430.

[0083] With the above setup, the cleaning solution mixes with water in the mixing tank 1430, then is drawn into the venturi tube 1450. After thorough mixing with water, it forms bubble water, which is then released into the washing chamber 1320 of the garment treatment device 1300, achieving the technical effect of a "mousse wash." Specifically, within the venturi tube 1450, the cleaning solution and cleaning water can mix more evenly, allowing the mixture to directly generate uniform and dense foam (i.e., "mousse"). This uniform and dense foam enters the washing chamber 1320 and envelops and penetrates the garment fibers for washing. Compared to the simple mixing of ordinary "cleaning water + laundry detergent," the "mousse wash" allows for a higher concentration and more even distribution of the cleaning solution, reducing mechanical friction on garments and providing a gentler, deeper cleaning and garment protection effect, thus improving cleaning efficiency.

[0084] Through the above design, this application achieves precise dispensing and mixing of the cleaning solution into the washing chamber 1320, improving the utilization efficiency of the cleaning solution. Simultaneously, the suction effect of the Venturi tube 1450 further promotes uniform mixing of the cleaning solution, enhancing the washing effect.

[0085] In the above embodiment, the flow path of the cleaning liquid entering the washing chamber 1320 of the clothing treatment device 1300 is as follows: first tank 1422 → first suction port 1441 → dispensing pump 1440 → first discharge port 1443 → mixing box 1430 → suction port 1453 → venturi tube 1450 → outlet 1452 → washing chamber 1320.

[0086] In the above embodiment, the flow path of the cleaning water entering the washing chamber 1320 in the clothing handling device 1300 is as follows: water source → water control element 1110 → first controllable water outlet 1111 → first water supply pipe 1120 → mixing box 1430 → suction port 1453 → venturi tube 1450 → outlet 1452 → washing chamber 1320; and water source → water control element 1110 → first controllable water outlet 1111 → first water supply pipe 1120 → inlet 1451 → venturi tube 1450 → outlet 1452 → washing chamber 1320.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 6 In the above embodiment, the venturi tube 1450 includes an inlet section 1454, a constriction section 1455, a throat 1456 and a diffuser section 1457 connected in sequence.

The inlet 1461 is used to communicate with the water supply device 1100, specifically, the inlet 1461 is connected to the first water supply pipe 1120 in the water supply device 1100. The first branch pipe 1470 is connected to both the first outlet 1462 and the mixing box 1430. The second branch pipe 1480 is connected to both the second outlet 1463 and the inlet 1451 of the venturi tube 1450.

[0089] By setting the connection joint 1460, the space occupied by the connecting pipes of the water supply device 1100 and the dispensing device 1400 can be saved, thereby improving the integration level of the cleaning equipment 1000 and reducing the size of the cleaning equipment 1000.

[0090] In the above embodiments, the flow path of the cleaning water entering the washing chamber 1320 of the garment handling device 1300 is as follows: water source → water control element 1110 → first water supply pipe 1120 → water inlet 1461 → connecting joint 1460 → first water outlet 1462 → first branch pipe 1470 → mixing box 1430 → suction port 1453 → venturi tube 1450 → outlet 1452 → washing chamber 1320; and water source → water control element 1110 → first water supply pipe 1120 → water inlet 1461 → connecting joint 1460 → second water outlet 1463 → second branch pipe 1480 → inlet 1451 → venturi tube 1450 → outlet 1452 → washing chamber 1320.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The mixing box 1430 is constructed with a first liquid outlet 1431, a first liquid inlet 1432 and a second liquid inlet 1433. The first liquid inlet 1432 is used to communicate with the water supply device 1100, the second liquid inlet 1433 is used to communicate with the dispensing box 1420, and the first liquid outlet 1431 is used to communicate with the clothing treatment device 1300.

[0092] In the above embodiment, the flow path of the cleaning liquid entering the washing chamber 1320 of the clothing treatment device 1300 is as follows: first tank 1422 → first suction port 1441 → dispensing pump 1440 → first discharge port 1443 → second liquid inlet 1433 → mixing box 1430 → first liquid outlet 1431 → suction port 1453 → venturi tube 1450 → outlet 1452 → washing chamber 1320.

[0093] In the above embodiments, the flow path of the cleaning water entering the washing chamber 1320 of the garment handling device 1300 is as follows: water source → water control element 1110 → first water supply pipe 1120 → water inlet 1461 → connecting joint 1460 → first water outlet 1462 → first branch pipe 1470 → first liquid inlet 1432 → mixing box 1430 → first liquid outlet 1431 → suction port 1453 → venturi tube 1450 → outlet 1452 → washing chamber 1320; and water source → water control element 1110 → first water supply pipe 1120 → water inlet 1461 → connecting joint 1460 → second water outlet 1463 → second branch pipe 1480 → inlet 1451 → venturi tube 1451 → outlet 1452 → washing chamber 1320.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the second liquid inlet 1433 is located above the first liquid outlet 1431.

[0095] In the above embodiment, the dispensing pump 1440 dispenses the cleaning liquid in the dispensing box 1420 into the mixing box 1430 through the second inlet 1433. Some of the cleaning liquid entering the mixing box 1430 from the second inlet 1433 can fall into the first outlet 1431 under its own gravity, thereby shortening the flow path of the cleaning liquid in the mixing box 1430 and reducing the amount of cleaning liquid remaining in the mixing box 1430.

[0096] In some embodiments, on a horizontal plane, the orthographic projection of the second inlet 1433 lies within the orthographic projection of the first outlet 1431.

[0097] In the above embodiment, the cleaning fluid entering the mixing box 1430 from the second inlet 1433 can fall directly into the first outlet 1431 under its own gravity, thereby further reducing the amount of cleaning fluid remaining in the mixing box 1430.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the mixing box 1430 is provided with a settling tank 1434, and the first liquid outlet 1431 is constructed at the bottom of the settling tank 1434.

[0099] In the above embodiment, the liquid in the mixing box 1430 can flow into the settling tank 1434 so that the liquid in the mixing box 1430 can flow out of the mixing box 1430 through the first liquid outlet 1431.

[0100] In some embodiments, the bottom of the settling tank 1434 is inclined downward at the end near the first liquid outlet 1431.

[0101] In the above embodiment, the bottom of the settling tank 1434 is inclined, which can guide the cleaning liquid and cleaning water in the settling tank 1434 to the first outlet 1431, so that the cleaning liquid and cleaning water in the mixing box 1430 can flow by gravity to the first outlet 1431, thereby further reducing the residual cleaning liquid in the mixing box 1430.

[0102] In some embodiments, a portion of the end face around the opening of the settling tank 1434 is a first end face 1436, and the end of the first end face 1436 near the end of the settling tank 1434 is inclined downward.

[0103] In the above embodiment, the first end face 1436 is inclined and can guide the cleaning liquid and cleaning water in the mixing box 1430 to the settling tank 1434 so that the cleaning liquid and cleaning water in the mixing box 1430 can flow by gravity to the first outlet 1431, thereby further reducing the residual cleaning liquid in the mixing box 1430.

[0104] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the mixing tank 1430 is further provided with a second outlet 1435 for communication with the laundry treatment device 1300. Optionally, the second outlet 1435 is connected to the washing chamber 1320 in the laundry treatment device 1300 via a pipeline.

[0105] By providing a second liquid outlet 1435, the functionality of the cleaning device 1000 can be further expanded. The liquid in the mixing box 1430 can flow into the washing chamber 1320 of the laundry treatment device 1300 through the inner second liquid outlet 1435, thereby improving the efficiency of providing cleaning water to the washing chamber 1320.

[0106] In the above embodiment, the flow path of the cleaning water entering the washing chamber 1320 of the garment handling device 1300 is as follows: water source → water control element 1110 → first water supply pipe 1120 → water inlet 1461 → connecting joint 1460 → first water outlet 1462 → first branch pipe 1470 → first liquid inlet 1432 → mixing box 1430 → first liquid outlet 1431 → suction port 1453 → venturi tube 1450 → outlet 1452 → washing chamber 1320; and water source → water control element 1110 →First water supply pipe 1120→Inlet 1461→Connecting joint 1460→Second outlet 1463→Second branch pipe 1480→Inlet 1451→Venturi tube 1450→Outlet 1452→Washing chamber 1320; and water source →Water control element 1110→First water supply pipe 1120→Inlet 1461→Connecting joint 1460→First outlet 1462→First branch pipe 1470→First liquid inlet 1432→Mixing box 1430→Second liquid outlet 1435→Washing chamber 1320.

[0107] In the above embodiment, a portion of the cleaning liquid can be mixed with water in the mixing box 1430 and then released into the washing chamber 1320 of the garment treatment device 1300 through the second liquid outlet 1435. Another portion of the cleaning liquid can be drawn into the tube by the venturi tube 1450, mixed thoroughly with water to form bubble water, and then released into the washing chamber 1320, which helps to improve the efficiency of cleaning liquid release.

[0108] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the mixing box 1430 is inclined downward at the end near the second outlet 1435, corresponding to the portion around the second outlet 1435.

[0109] In the above embodiment, the second end face 1437 is inclined, and the second end face 1437 can guide the cleaning liquid and cleaning water on the second end face 1437 to the second outlet 1435, so that the cleaning liquid and cleaning water in the mixing box 1430 can flow by gravity to the second outlet 1435, thereby reducing the residual cleaning liquid in the mixing box 1430.

[0110] Please refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the dispensing device 1400 further includes a rinsing box 1410. The rinsing box 1410 is connected to the mixing box 1430, that is, the rinsing box 1410 is connected to the first liquid inlet 1432. The rinsing box 1410 is used to connect to the water supply device 1100, that is, the rinsing box 1410 is connected to the first water supply pipe 1120 in the water supply device 1100.

[0111] By setting up a rinsing box, the functionality of the cleaning equipment 1000 can be further expanded. Cleaning water is injected from the rinsing box 1410 into the mixing box 1430 to rinse the mixing box 1430.

[0112] Please refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, multiple first inlets 1432 are provided, and the multiple first inlets 1432 are distributed at intervals so that the cleaning water injected into the mixing box 1430 by the rinsing box 1410 through the first inlets 1432 can achieve the spraying effect, thereby improving the rinsing effect.

[0113] In the above embodiment, the flow path of the cleaning water entering the washing chamber 1320 of the garment handling device 1300 is as follows: water source → water control element 1110 → first water supply pipe 1120 → water inlet 1461 → connecting joint 1460 → first water outlet 1462 → first branch pipe 1470 → rinsing box 1410 → first liquid inlet 1432 → mixing box 1430 → first liquid outlet 1431 → suction port 1453 → venturi tube 1450 → outlet 1452 → washing chamber 1320; and water source → water control element 1110 →First water supply pipe 1120→Inlet 1461→Connecting joint 1460→Second outlet 1463→Second branch pipe 1480→Inlet 1451→Venturi tube 1450→Outlet 1452→Washing chamber 1320; and water source →Water control element 1110→First water supply pipe 1120→Inlet 1461→Connecting joint 1460→First outlet 1462→First branch pipe 1470→Rinsing box 1410→First liquid inlet 1432→Mixing box 1430→Second liquid outlet 1435→Washing chamber 1320.

[0114] Please refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the rinsing box 1410 is provided with a pressure relief channel 1411 and a pressure relief port 1412 communicating with the pressure relief channel 1411. The pressure relief channel 1411 is used to communicate with the clothing handling device 1300, and the pressure relief port 1412 is communicated with the mixing box 1430.

[0115] It is understood that the pressure relief channel 1411 is used to connect with the clothing handling device 1300, that is, the pressure relief channel 1411 is connected to the washing chamber 1320 in the clothing handling device 1300 through a pipeline, so that the gas in the washing chamber 1320 can flow to the mixing box 1430 through the pressure relief channel 1411 and the pressure relief port 1412.

[0116] It should be noted that, under normal circumstances, the space inside the mixing box 1430 is connected to the space inside the dispensing box 1420. The space inside the dispensing box 1420 is not a closed space; that is, gas exchange is possible between the space inside the dispensing box 1420 and the external space of the cleaning device 1000. The gas inside the washing chamber 1320 flows through the pressure relief channel 1411 and the pressure relief port 1412 to the mixing box 1430, and then flows to the external space of the cleaning device 1000, thereby balancing the gas pressure inside the washing chamber 1320.

[0117] In the above embodiments, integrating the pressure relief channel 1411 onto the dispensing device 1400 can improve the integration level of the cleaning equipment 1000, thereby reducing the size of the cleaning equipment 1000.

[0118] It is understandable that the gas flowing from the washing chamber 1320 into the pressure relief channel 1411 may carry the cleaning water in the washing chamber 1320. The cleaning water can flow back to the washing chamber 1320 after passing through the mixing box 1430, so as to avoid water leakage from the cleaning equipment 1000.

[0119] In some embodiments, the second outlet 1435 is located above the pressure relief port 1412 in the vertically upward direction, and at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the pressure relief port 1412 and the second outlet 1435 coincide in the horizontal plane.

[0120] In the above embodiment, the cleaning water entering the mixing box 1430 from the pressure relief port 1412 can fall directly into the first liquid outlet 1431 under its own gravity, thereby reducing the amount of water remaining in the mixing box 1430.

[0121] Please refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the flushing box 1410 is provided with a plurality of baffles 1413, which are arranged sequentially at intervals in the extending direction of the pressure relief channel 1411.

[0122] It is understandable that the gas flowing from the washing chamber 1320 into the pressure relief channel 1411 may carry cleaning foam from the washing chamber 1320. Dirt and bacteria in the cleaning foam flow to the mixing tank 1430 and then re-enter the washing chamber 1320 with the water flow, causing secondary pollution and making the clothes dirtier after washing. Multiple baffles 1413 are sequentially spaced along the extension direction of the pressure relief channel 1411, so that the inner wall of the pressure relief channel 1411 and the baffles 1413 can enclose and form a defoaming channel to prevent cleaning foam from flowing into the mixing tank 1430, thus preventing it from affecting the cleaning effect of the clothes handling device 1300.

[0123] Please refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the baffle 1413 is angled to the inner wall of the pressure relief channel 1411, and the angle between the orientation of the baffle 1413 and the extending direction of the pressure relief port 1412 within the pressure relief channel 1411 is less than or equal to 90°. This causes the baffle 1413 and the pressure relief channel 1411 to form a "V"-shaped groove, and the opening of the "V"-shaped groove faces opposite to the flow direction of the gas within the pressure relief channel 1411. When the gas flows within the defoaming channel, the clean air bubbles carried by the gas can be trapped within the "V"-shaped groove.

[0124] Please refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, two adjacent baffles 1413 are respectively connected to two opposing inner walls of the pressure relief channel 1411 to improve the defoaming effect of the defoaming channel.

[0125] Please refer to Figure 8In some embodiments, two adjacent baffles 1413 are staggered in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the pressure relief channel 1411 to improve the defoaming effect of the defoaming channel.

[0126] Please refer to Figure 2 The second aspect of this application provides a cleaning device 1000, including a clothing processing device 1300, a base station 1200, a water supply device 1100, and the dispensing device 1400 described in the first aspect embodiment.

[0128] In some embodiments, the base station 1200 is equipped with a clean water tank 1220 and a cleaning chamber 1210. The water inlet of the clean water tank 1220 is connected to the delivery box 1420 via a connecting pipe, and the water outlet of the clean water tank 1220 is connected to the cleaning chamber 1210.

[0129] Understandably, the clean water tank 1220 is used to store cleaning water and can transfer the cleaning water in the clean water tank 1220 to the cleaning chamber 1210, thereby cleaning the cleaning components of the floor cleaning device. By adding the clean water tank 1220, a stable cleaning water supply can be provided to the cleaning components in the cleaning chamber 1210, ensuring the cleaning effect of the floor cleaning device. At the same time, the design of the clean water tank 1220 also increases the flexibility and reliability of the equipment.

[0130] In some embodiments, the clean water tank 1220 is connected to the second water supply pipe 1130, thereby connecting the clean water tank 1220 to the water supply device 1100 of the cleaning equipment 1000. The connection between the clean water tank 1220 and the water supply device 1100 enables automatic dispensing of cleaning water.

[0131] In some embodiments, the dispensing box 1420 is connected to the clean water tank 1220, so that the cleaning solution can be mixed with the cleaning water in the clean water tank 1220, which helps to improve the cleaning effect.

[0132] A third aspect of this application provides a cleaning system, including a floor cleaning device and the cleaning device 1000 described in the first aspect embodiment. The floor cleaning device can be used in conjunction with a base station 1200.

[0133] By applying the cleaning device 1000 of the second aspect embodiment described above to a cleaning system, the integration level of the cleaning system can be improved, thereby reducing the size of the cleaning system.

[0134] For example, floor cleaning equipment can be, but is not limited to, a sweeping robot, a floor scrubber, a sweeping and mopping robot, or a vacuum cleaner.

[0135] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
