[0032] The following description provides numerous specific details to offer a more thorough understanding of the technical solutions provided by this invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the technical solutions provided by this invention can be implemented without one or more of these details.

[0033] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention.

[0034] Exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the present invention is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown in the figure, an embodiment of this utility model provides a base station 100. An embodiment of this application also provides a cleaning system 300, which includes the base station 100 and a cleaning robot 200. The base station 100 is used for the maintenance of the cleaning robot 200. For example, the cleaning robot 200 can be placed on and connected to the base station 100, allowing the base station 100 to perform maintenance operations on the cleaning robot 200. Alternatively, the cleaning robot 200 can be separated from the base station 100, allowing the cleaning robot 200 to perform cleaning operations on the surface to be cleaned.

[0036] Among them, the cleaning robot 200 can be a mopping robot, a sweeping robot, or other cleaning equipment.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the base station 100 provided in this application embodiment includes: a base station body 110, the base station body 110 is provided with a storage compartment 111, the storage compartment 111 is used to accommodate at least part of the cleaning robot 200, and the storage compartment 111 is provided with a receiving groove 112 to accommodate the rollers 220 of the cleaning robot 200; and a liquid spraying assembly 120, the liquid spraying assembly 120 is disposed in the receiving groove 112 and configured to spray liquid into the receiving groove 112.

[0038] At least a portion of the cleaning robot 200 can be housed in the storage compartment 111 of the base station body 110, so that the storage compartment 111 has the function of accommodating and limiting part of the cleaning robot 200, and at the same time, the base station body 110 has the function of supporting the cleaning robot 200, so that the cleaning robot 200 can be reliably and stably placed and docked on the base station body 110.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the storage compartment 111 can be located on top of the base station body 110, and at least the bottom structure of the cleaning robot 200 can be accommodated within the storage compartment 111. It is understood that, as Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning robot 200 includes wheels 220 located at the bottom, which can be accommodated in the storage compartment 111.

[0040] The storage compartment 111 includes a receiving slot 112 for accommodating the rollers 220 of the cleaning robot 200. The base station 100 also includes a spraying assembly 120 connected to the base station body 110, configured to spray liquid into the receiving slot 112. Thus, when at least a portion of the cleaning robot 200 is housed in the storage compartment 111 and the rollers 220 are housed in the receiving slot 112, the spraying assembly 120 sprays liquid into the receiving slot 112, allowing the liquid to rinse the rollers 220 and thus cleaning them. This makes the rollers 220 of the cleaning robot 200 cleaner, reducing or avoiding the possibility of bacteria growth and odors on the rollers 220, thus improving the cleanliness of the rollers 220. At the same time, in the subsequent cleaning process, the cleaning robot 200 reduces or avoids secondary pollution to the ground caused by the dirt on the rollers 220, improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning robot 200 and enhancing the user experience.

[0041] The spraying assembly 120 is connected to the base station body 110 and is configured to spray liquid into the receiving tank 112. The spraying assembly 120 can spray liquid from the side or bottom of the receiving tank 112 towards the center of the receiving tank 112 to clean the roller 220 in the receiving tank 112. The side can include the upper side, the side, the front side, or other directions of the side.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the spraying assembly 120 is disposed on the first sidewall 1123 of the receiving groove 112, and the first sidewall 1123 is parallel to the axis of rotation of the roller 220.

[0043] The receiving tank 112 may include a first sidewall 1123 and a second sidewall 1124. The first sidewall 1123 is parallel to the rotation axis of the roller 220, and the second sidewall 1124 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the roller 220. The spraying assembly 120 is positioned on the first sidewall 1123 of the receiving tank 112, allowing the liquid from the spraying assembly 120 to be sprayed onto the roller 220 from a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis. This increases the area of ​​the roller 220 covered by the liquid, improving the cleaning efficiency of the roller 220. Simultaneously, because the liquid is sprayed onto the roller 220 from a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis, and in conjunction with the rotation of the roller 220, the liquid can sequentially cover different areas of the roller 220 along its circumference, achieving comprehensive cleaning of the roller 220 and ensuring a good cleaning effect.

[0044] It is understandable that, since the liquid is sprayed onto the roller 220 from a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation, the roller 220 can be passively rotated under the impact force of the liquid; or, the roller 220 can be connected to the walking drive unit of the cleaning robot 200, and the walking drive unit can drive the roller 220 to rotate actively.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the spraying assembly 120 is connected to the liquid storage unit 130, which is disposed on the base station 100 or the cleaning robot 200.

[0046] The liquid storage section 130 is used to supply liquid to the liquid spraying assembly 120, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the liquid storage unit 130 can be disposed on the base station body 110, that is, the base station 100 includes the liquid storage unit 130. Specifically, the liquid storage unit 130 can be connected to the base station body 110 to supply liquid to the spraying assembly 120 through the liquid storage unit 130 of the base station 100. The liquid storage unit 130 and the base station body 110 can be detachably connected to facilitate disassembly and separation of the liquid storage unit 130 from the base station body 110 for liquid replenishment, cleaning, maintenance, etc. It is understood that in some examples, the liquid storage unit 130 and the base station body 110 can also be fixedly connected or be an integral structure.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning robot 200 includes a liquid storage section 130. For example, the cleaning robot 200 includes a robot body 210, and the liquid storage section 130 is connected to the robot body 210. When the cleaning robot 200 is placed or docked at the base station 100 and the rollers 220 are accommodated in the receiving tank 112, the liquid storage section 130 of the cleaning robot 200 communicates with the spraying assembly 120 to supply liquid to the spraying assembly 120 through the liquid storage section 130 of the cleaning robot 200. The liquid storage section 130 and the robot body 210 can be detachably connected to facilitate disassembly and separation of the liquid storage section 130 from the robot body 210 for liquid replenishment, cleaning, maintenance, etc. It is understood that in some examples, the liquid storage section 130 and the robot body 210 can also be fixedly connected or be an integral structure.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the receiving groove 112 corresponds to the roller 220, the spraying assembly 120 corresponds to the receiving groove 112, and the number of receiving grooves 112 is at least two.

[0049] The cleaning robot 200 has at least two rollers 220, such as two, three, four, or other numbers. The number of receiving slots 112 is equal to the number of rollers 220, and the number of spraying components 120 is equal to the number of receiving slots 112. That is, each roller 220 of the cleaning robot 200 corresponds to one receiving slot 112, and each receiving slot 112 corresponds to one spraying component 120, so as to use the spraying components 120 to perform cleaning operations on the corresponding rollers 220, thereby improving the cleanliness of each roller 220 of the cleaning robot 200 and improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning robot 200.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the base station 100 further includes: a first multi-port connector 140, one port of the first multi-port connector 140 being connected to the first end of the first pipeline 141, the second end of the first pipeline 141 being configured to be connected to the liquid storage section 130, the other ports of the first multi-port connector 140 being connected to the liquid spraying assembly 120 respectively through the second pipeline 142, and a first pump body 143 being provided on the first pipeline 141.

[0051] In this embodiment, a first multi-port connector 140 is provided in the base station 100. One port of the first multi-port connector 140 is connected to the liquid storage unit 130 through the first pipeline 141, and the other ports of the first multi-port connector 140 are connected to each liquid spraying assembly 120 through the second pipeline 142. Thus, by using the first multi-port connector 140, each liquid spraying assembly 120 and the liquid storage unit 130 can be connected, so that one liquid storage unit 130 can supply liquid to each liquid spraying assembly 120 through the first multi-port connector 140. This simplifies the structure, meets the design requirements of the base station 100 for a compact structure and small size, and helps to save manufacturing costs.

[0052] By installing a first pump body 143 on the first pipeline 141, the first pump body 143 can be put into operation, and the liquid in the liquid storage section 130 can be delivered to each spraying assembly 120 to realize the liquid supply operation of each spraying assembly 120.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning robot 200 has two rollers 220, which can be understood as a left roller and a right roller, as... Figure 2 As shown, the base station body 110 has two receiving slots 112, namely a first receiving slot 1121 and a second receiving slot 1122, and two spraying components 120, namely a first spraying component 121 and a second spraying component 122. Each receiving slot 112 contains one spraying component 120. For example, the first spraying component 121 is located in the first receiving slot 1121, and the second spraying component 122 is located in the second receiving slot 1122. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first multi-port connector 140 is a three-way connector. One port of the three-way connector is connected to the liquid storage unit 130 through the first pipe 141, and the other two ports of the three-way connector are connected to the first spray assembly 121 and the second spray assembly 122 through two second pipes 142, respectively. The first pump body 143 is disposed on the first pipe 141. Specifically, the first pipe 141 is divided into a first inlet pipe and a first outlet pipe. The first inlet pipe connects the liquid storage unit 130 and the inlet of the first pump body 143, and the first outlet pipe connects the outlet of the first pump body 143 and one port of the three-way connector. Thus, the first pump body 143 operates, and liquid flows from the liquid storage unit 130 through the first multi-port connector 140 to the first spray assembly 121 and the second spray assembly 122, respectively, to achieve liquid supply operation. It can be understood that the liquid storage unit 130 in this example can be disposed in the base station 100 or the cleaning robot 200. Figure 6 The direction of the dashed arrow in the diagram can indicate the direction of liquid flow.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the second end of the first pipeline 141 is connected to a water intake connector 144, which is configured to communicate with the liquid storage unit 130. The provision of the water intake connector 144 improves the convenience and reliability of communicating between the first pipeline 141 and the liquid storage unit 130.

[0055] Specifically, when the liquid storage unit 130 is installed in the base station 100, the water intake connector 144 is connected to the liquid storage unit 130. Since the water intake connector 144 is connected to one port of the first multi-way connector 140 through the first pipeline 141, the first multi-way connector 140 is connected to the liquid storage unit 130 of the base station 100. It can be understood that the water intake connector 144 and the liquid storage unit 130 can be configured as a mating structure for easy assembly and disassembly.

[0056] When the liquid storage unit 130 is installed on the cleaning robot 200, and when the cleaning robot 200 is docked or placed on the base station 100, with at least a portion of the cleaning robot 200 housed in the storage compartment 111 and the rollers 220 of the cleaning robot 200 housed in the receiving tank 112, the water inlet connector 144 is connected to the liquid storage unit 130. Since the water inlet connector 144 is connected to one port of the first multi-port connector 140 via the first pipe 141, the first multi-port connector 140 is thus connected to the liquid storage unit 130 of the cleaning robot 200. It is understood that the water inlet connector 144 and the liquid storage unit 130 can be configured as a mating structure for easy assembly and disassembly.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the receiving tank 112 is provided with a drain outlet 113, which is used to drain the liquid in the receiving tank 112, thereby preventing the liquid in the receiving tank 112 from overflowing into the storage compartment 111 and contaminating the base station body 110 or other structures of the cleaning robot 200, which is beneficial to improving the cleanliness of the base station 100 and the cleaning robot 200.

[0058] Specifically, the drain outlet 113 is located at the bottom of the receiving tank 112 to improve the thoroughness and completeness of liquid drainage from the receiving tank 112, reduce the possibility of liquid residue inside the receiving tank 112 causing bacterial growth and odor, and improve the cleanliness of the base station 100.

[0059] In some embodiments, the base station 100 is further provided with a first sewage tank 150, and a drain outlet 113 is connected to the first sewage tank 150. Thus, liquid in the receiving tank 112 flows into the first sewage tank 150 through the drain outlet 113, allowing the first sewage tank 150 of the base station 100 to collect and contain the liquid in the receiving tank 112, reducing the possibility of liquid overflow from the receiving tank 112. Specifically, the first sewage tank 150 can be connected to the base station body 110, such as being detachably connected to the base station body 110, to facilitate the disassembly and separation of the first sewage tank 150 and the base station body 110 for processing the liquid contained in the first sewage tank 150, cleaning the first sewage tank 150, or performing maintenance operations. It is understood that in some examples, the first sewage tank 150 and the base station body 110 can also be fixedly connected. In this case, the first sewage tank 150 is provided with a sewage pipe to transport the liquid collected in the first sewage tank 150 to a designated location, such as to a sewer pipe.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the receiving tank 112 is provided with a drain outlet 113, and the base station body 110 is also provided with a cleaning tank 114, with the drain outlet 113 connected to the cleaning tank 114.

[0061] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning component 240 of the cleaning robot 200 makes interference contact with the surface to be cleaned. Thus, the cleaning robot 200 moves, and the cleaning component 240 can perform cleaning operations on the surface. The cleaning component 240 can be a brush, roller brush, etc. Specifically, the brush and roller brush can perform wet cleaning operations; that is, the cleaning robot 200 can be a floor scrubber, a sweeper-mop combo, etc.

[0062] The base station body 110 is also equipped with a cleaning tank 114, which is used to accommodate the cleaning components 240 of the cleaning robot 200.

[0063] The drain outlet 113 is connected to the cleaning tank 114, so that the liquid in the container tank 112 can flow into the cleaning tank 114 through the drain outlet 113, so that the cleaning tank 114 of the base station 100 can collect and contain the liquid in the container tank 112, reducing the possibility of liquid overflow in the container tank 112.

[0064] Furthermore, the base station 100 also includes a cleaning component, which is mounted on the base station body 110. The cleaning component can perform cleaning operations on the cleaning components 240 of the cleaning robot 200, and the cleaned liquid can be contained in the cleaning tank 114 of the tank 112. In other words, the base station 100 integrates cleaning operations on the rollers 220 and cleaning components 240 of the cleaning robot 200, realizing the diversification of the functions of the base station 100.

[0065] like Figure 5 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the cleaning robot 200 includes a second wastewater tank 230. When the cleaning robot 200 is housed in the storage compartment 111, the drain outlet 113 is connected to the second wastewater tank 230. Therefore, when the cleaning robot 200 is housed in the storage compartment 111, the liquid in the receiving tank 112 flows into the second wastewater tank 230 through the drain outlet 113, so that the second wastewater tank 230 of the cleaning robot 200 can collect and contain the liquid in the receiving tank 112, reducing the possibility of liquid overflow from the receiving tank 112. Specifically, the second wastewater tank 230 can be connected to the robot body 210, such as being detachably connected to the robot body 210, to facilitate the disassembly and separation of the second wastewater tank 230 and the robot body 210 for processing the liquid contained in the second wastewater tank 230, cleaning the second wastewater tank 230, and performing maintenance operations. Understandably, in some examples, the second sewage tank 230 and the robot body 210 may also be fixedly connected. In this case, the second sewage tank 230 is equipped with a sewage pipe to transport the liquid collected by the second sewage tank 230 to a designated location, such as to a sewer pipe.

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the cleaning robot 200 includes a second wastewater tank 230. When the cleaning robot 200 is housed in the storage compartment 111, the second wastewater tank 230 is configured to communicate with the cleaning tank 114. The cleaning robot 200 also includes a cleaning fan, and the airflow provided by the cleaning fan is configured to flow from the cleaning tank 114 to the second wastewater tank 230.

[0067] Therefore, when the cleaning robot 200 is housed in the storage compartment 111, the second wastewater tank 230 is connected to the cleaning tank 114. The cleaning fan operates, and airflow flows from the cleaning tank 114 to the second wastewater tank 230. This causes the liquid in the cleaning tank 114 to flow into the second wastewater tank 230 under the influence of the airflow. The second wastewater tank 230 of the cleaning robot 200 collects and contains the liquid in the cleaning tank 114 of the base station 100, reducing the possibility of liquid overflowing from the cleaning tank 114 and contaminating the base station 100 and the cleaning robot 200, thus improving the cleanliness of the base station 100 and the cleaning robot 200. It is understandable that, since the drain outlet 113 of the storage compartment 112 is connected to the cleaning tank 114, the liquid in the storage compartment 112 can flow into the cleaning tank 114 through the drain outlet 113. Therefore, the cleaning fan operates, collecting and containing the liquid in the cleaning tank 114 into the second wastewater tank 230 of the cleaning robot 200, while also collecting and containing the liquid in the storage compartment 112.

[0068] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the receiving groove 112 corresponds to the roller 220, the drain outlet 113 corresponds to the receiving groove 112, and the number of receiving grooves 112 is at least two.

[0069] The cleaning robot 200 has at least two rollers 220, such as two, three, four, or other numbers. The number of receiving tanks 112 is equal to the number of rollers 220, and the number of drain outlets 113 is equal to the number of receiving tanks 112. That is, each roller 220 of the cleaning robot 200 corresponds to one receiving tank 112, and each receiving tank 112 corresponds to one drain outlet 113 to drain the liquid in the corresponding receiving tank 112, thereby reducing or avoiding the possibility of liquid overflow from the corresponding receiving tank 112 and improving the cleanliness of the base station 100 and the cleaning robot 200.

[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, when the drain outlet 113 is connected to the cleaning tank 114, the base station 100 also includes a second multi-port connector 160. One port of the second multi-port connector 160 is connected to the cleaning tank 114 through a third pipe 161, and the other ports of the second multi-port connector 160 are connected to the drain outlet 113 through a fourth pipe 162. A second pump body 163 is provided on the third pipe 161.

[0071] In this embodiment, a second multi-port connector 160 is provided in the base station 100. One port of the second multi-port connector 160 is connected to the cleaning tank 114 through the third pipe 161, and the other ports of the second multi-port connector 160 are connected to each drain outlet 113 through the fourth pipe 162. Thus, the second multi-port connector 160 can be used to connect each drain outlet 113 to the cleaning tank 114, so that the liquid in each container tank 112 flows into the cleaning tank 114 through the corresponding drain outlet 113 and the second multi-port connector 160, thereby realizing the collection and containment of the liquid in each container tank 112. This simplifies the structure, meets the design requirements of the base station 100 for a compact structure and small size, and helps to save manufacturing costs.

[0072] By installing a second pump body 163 on the third pipeline 161, the second pump body 163 can be put into operation, and the liquid in each container tank 112 can be transported to the cleaning tank 114 through the corresponding drain port 113, the fourth pipeline 162, the second multi-port connector 160, and the third pipeline 161, so as to realize the liquid collection operation of each container tank 112.

[0073] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning robot 200 has two rollers 220, which can be understood as a left roller 220 and a right roller 220, as... Figure 2 As shown, the base station body 110 has two receiving slots 112, namely the first receiving slot 1121 and the second receiving slot 1122, and two drain outlets 113, namely the first drain outlet 1131 and the second drain outlet 1132. Each receiving slot 112 is provided with one drain outlet 113. For example, the first drain outlet 113 is opened in the first receiving slot 1121, and the second drain outlet 1132 is opened in the second receiving slot 1122. Figure 4 and Figure 7 The second multi-port connector 160 is a three-way connector. One port of the three-way connector is connected to the cleaning tank 114 via a third pipe 161, and the other two ports of the three-way connector are connected to the first drain outlet 1131 and the second drain outlet 1132 via two fourth pipes 162, respectively. The second pump body 163 is mounted on the third pipe 161. Specifically, the third pipe 161 is divided into a second inlet pipe and a second outlet pipe. The second inlet pipe connects to one port of the three-way connector and the inlet of the second pump body 163, and the second outlet pipe connects to the outlet of the second pump body 163 and the cleaning tank 114. Thus, when the second pump body 163 operates, the liquid in the first receiving tank 1121 and the second receiving tank 1122 flows into the cleaning tank 114 via the first drain outlet 1131 and the second drain outlet 1132, respectively, through the second multi-port connector 160. Furthermore, when the cleaning fan of the cleaning robot 200 is operating, the liquid in the cleaning tank 114 flows into the second wastewater tank 230 of the cleaning robot 200 with the airflow. Figure 7 The direction indicated by the dashed arrow in the diagram represents the direction of liquid flow.

[0074] like Figure 4 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the cleaning tank 114 has a through hole 115, and the third pipe 161 is connected to the cleaning tank 114 through the through hole 115. For example, the end of the third pipe 161 away from the second multi-port connector 160 extends into the cleaning tank 114 through the through hole 115 to ensure that the liquid in each receiving tank 112 flows into the interior of the cleaning tank 114 through the corresponding drain 113, the fourth pipe 162, the second multi-port connector 160, and the third pipe 161.

[0075] like Figure 8 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, when the drain outlet 113 is connected to the first sewage tank 150, the base station 100 also includes a third multi-port connector 170. One port of the third multi-port connector 170 is connected to the first sewage tank 150 through a fifth pipeline, and the other ports of the third multi-port connector 170 are connected to the drain outlet 113 through a sixth pipeline. A third pump body 171 is provided on the fifth pipeline.

[0076] This embodiment provides an example of connecting drain outlets 113 to the first sewage tank 150 of base station 100, with a specific scheme for connecting each drain outlet 113 to the first sewage tank 150. Specifically, base station 100 is equipped with a third multi-port connector 170. One port of the third multi-port connector 170 is connected to the first sewage tank 150 of base station 100 via a fifth pipe, and the other ports of the third multi-port connector 170 are connected to each drain outlet 113 via a sixth pipe. This allows the third multi-port connector 170 to connect each drain outlet 113 to the first sewage tank 150, enabling liquid in each containment tank 112 to flow into the first sewage tank 150 through the corresponding drain outlet 113 and the third multi-port connector 170. This achieves the function of collecting and containing liquid in each containment tank 112, simplifies the structure, meets the design requirements of a compact structure and small size for base station 100, and helps save manufacturing costs.

[0077] By installing a third pump body 171 on the fifth pipeline, the third pump body 171 can be put into operation, and the liquid in each container tank 112 can be transported to the first sewage tank 150 through the corresponding drain outlet 113, the sixth pipeline, the third multi-port connector 170, and the fifth pipeline, so as to realize the liquid collection operation of each container tank 112.

[0078] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning robot 200 has two rollers 220, which can be understood as a left roller 220 and a right roller 220, as... Figure 2As shown, the base station body 110 has two receiving slots 112, namely a first receiving slot 1121 and a second receiving slot 1122, and two drain outlets 113, namely a first drain outlet 1131 and a second drain outlet 1132. Each receiving slot 112 has one drain outlet 113. For example, the first drain outlet 113 is located in the first receiving slot 1121, and the second drain outlet 1132 is located in the second receiving slot 1122. Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the third multi-way connector 170 is a tee connector. One port of the tee connector is connected to the first sewage tank 150 via a fifth pipe, and the other two ports of the tee connector are connected to the first drain outlet 1131 and the second drain outlet 1132 via two sixth pipes, respectively. The third pump body 171 is installed on the fifth pipe. Specifically, the fifth pipe is divided into a third inlet pipe and a third outlet pipe. The third inlet pipe connects one port of the tee connector to the inlet of the third pump body 171, and the third outlet pipe connects the outlet of the third pump body 171 to the first sewage tank 150. Thus, the third pump body 171 operates, and the liquid in the first receiving tank 1121 and the second receiving tank 1122 flows into the first sewage tank 150 through the first drain outlet 1131 and the second drain outlet 1132, respectively, via the third multi-way connector 170. Figure 8 The direction indicated by the dashed arrow in the diagram represents the direction of liquid flow.
