[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 3This application provides an inlet / drainage device 100 applied to a baby bottle washing machine 10. The baby bottle washing machine 10 includes a washing chamber 300. The inlet / drainage device 100 is disposed on the outer wall of the washing chamber 300. The inlet / drainage device 100 includes an inlet channel 110, an inlet 120, and a drain channel 130. The inlet channel 110 communicates with the inlet 120, and the inlet 120 communicates with the washing chamber 300. The drain channel 130 communicates with the drain outlet 310 at the bottom of the washing chamber 300. The inlet / drainage device 100 integrates the inlet channel 110 and the drain channel 130 into one unit, optimizing the pipeline layout. Distributing the inlet / drainage device 100 on the side of the washing chamber 300 reduces the space occupied at the bottom of the washing chamber 300. It is understood that the inlet / drainage device 100 can also be applied to other cleaning equipment, such as equipment for cleaning children's tableware and cups, to achieve water inlet and drainage for these cleaning devices.

[0023] In some possible implementations, the water inlet channel 110 is connected to the water tank assembly 200 of the bottle washing machine 10, and the water inlet / drainage device 100 is located between the washing chamber 300 and the water tank assembly 200. This shortens the connection path between the water inlet / drainage pipes and the water tank assembly 200 and the washing chamber 300, reduces pipe bends, and lowers water flow resistance.

[0024] In some possible implementations, the inlet and outlet device 100 is located near the bottom of the washing chamber 300, and may be further close to the drain outlet 310 of the washing chamber 300 and the water supply end of the water tank assembly 200.

[0025] In some possible implementations, the inlet and outlet drainage device 100 includes an anti-siphon channel 140, which is connected to the inlet 120 and the outlet 130, respectively. This allows air in the washing chamber 300 to enter the anti-siphon channel 140 through the inlet 120, breaking the siphon effect of the outlet 130 and preventing the washing liquid in the washing chamber 300 from leaking due to the siphon effect. It also prevents backflow of wastewater when the water level in the wastewater area is higher than the water level in the washing chamber 300, thus preventing contamination of the bottle washing machine 10.

[0026] In some possible implementations, the inlet / outlet device 100 includes an air passage 150, which has an air inlet 151 communicating with the water inlet 120 and an air outlet 152 communicating with the anti-siphon channel 140. The anti-siphon channel 140 is provided with a baffle 141 for opening / closing the air outlet 152. During drainage, the anti-siphon channel 140 is filled with water, causing the baffle 141 to seal the air outlet 152. The water can then be discharged smoothly through the drainage channel 130. When the drainage is finished and the negative pressure in the drainage channel 130 is greater than that in the washing chamber 300, the baffle 141 opens the air outlet 152, and air enters the anti-siphon channel 140 through the air passage 150, breaking the siphon effect.

[0027] This application also provides a baby bottle washing machine 10, which includes an inlet and outlet device 100 and a washing chamber 300 as described in any of the above embodiments, and the bottom of the washing chamber 300 is provided with a drain outlet 310.

[0028] In some possible implementations, the bottom of the washing chamber 300 is provided with a water storage tank 320 and a washing pump 330. The front cover 331 of the washing pump 330 is integrated into the side of the water storage tank 320 and communicates with the water storage tank 320. The washing pump 330 can transport the washing water in the water storage tank 320 to the spray device inside the washing chamber 300. The washing pump 330 is connected to the water storage tank 320 through the front cover 331, which further reduces the pipeline structure. In addition, the washing pump 330 can be installed at the bottom of the washing chamber 300 through the front cover 331, avoiding the use of screws and other installation parts, making the structure simpler and saving costs.

[0029] In some possible implementations, the bottle washing machine 10 includes a water tank assembly 200, which has a water tank 210 and a filter device 220 arranged side by side on one side of the washing chamber 300. The inlet and outlet drainage device 100 is disposed in the gap between the filter device 220 and the washing chamber 300. The size of the water tank assembly 200 is made reasonable, resulting in a more compact structure and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0030] In some possible implementations, a fan assembly 400 is also provided in the gap between the filter device 220 and the washing chamber 300, and the fan assembly 400 is provided with an air outlet 410 communicating with the washing chamber 300.

[0031] In some possible implementations, a drain pump 340 is provided between the drain outlet 310 and the drain channel 130 for transporting wastewater from the washing chamber 300 to the drain channel 130.

[0032] In some possible implementations, the drain pump 340 is located at the bottom of the washing chamber 300, which can enhance the stability of the drain pump 340.

[0033] Note that the above are merely preferred embodiments and the technical principles employed in this application. Those skilled in the art will understand that this application is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, although this application has been described in detail through the above embodiments, this application is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of this application, the scope of which is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
