Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a washing device, specifically a washing device with a detachable clean water tank, which is particularly suitable for cleaning items such as baby bottles and tableware. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, specialized cleaning equipment for washing baby bottles, baby tableware, and other items is becoming increasingly popular. Existing cleaning equipment typically uses either an integrated water tank or a side-mounted, detachable water tank design. Integrated water tanks require the entire unit to be moved to a water source for refilling, which is inconvenient; while side-mounted, detachable water tanks have the following significant drawbacks: Large lateral space occupation: The side-by-side arrangement of the water tank and washing compartment significantly increases the overall width of the equipment. When placed in typically narrow spaces such as kitchen countertops and sideboards, it encroaches on valuable lateral operating space, resulting in inflexible layout.

[0003] Poor overall integrity and lack of aesthetic appeal: Side-mounted water tanks are usually suspended or plugged into the side of the unit as an independent module, and there are often obvious gaps at the connection points, making them visually messy and lacking in integration.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cleaning device that is more compact, has a higher space utilization rate, and is easy to operate. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a washing device that is compact in structure, saves lateral space, has convenient water tank placement and removal, and is aesthetically pleasing overall.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A washing device includes a main body and a washing chamber disposed on the main body, and also includes a clean water tank; the clean water tank, in its assembled state with the main body, is located directly below or to the side of the main body; the main body and the clean water tank are connected by a detachable water passage connection mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, the water tank is made of a transparent or semi-transparent material.

[0008] Furthermore, the detachable waterway connection mechanism is a vertical docking connection structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the detachable water connection mechanism is a horizontal docking connection structure; the clean water tank is connected to the main body of the machine by a horizontal sliding method.

[0010] Furthermore, the washing equipment is a baby bottle washing machine.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Optimized space layout: By placing the clean water tank below the main unit, the vertical space of the equipment is fully utilized, greatly reducing its horizontal footprint. This allows the equipment to be easily placed on narrow countertops or in corners, solving the rigid requirement for horizontal space in existing side-mounted designs.

[0012] Modular design and ease of use: The clean water tank is connected to the main unit via a detachable water circuit connection mechanism, enabling complete independence of the water supply module. Users can easily remove the clean water tank for adding water and cleaning, making the operation intuitive and convenient.

[0013] Optimization of overall shape and visual effect: The use of a transparent or semi-transparent water tank design not only makes the product look more technological and modern, but more importantly, it allows users to intuitively and in real time observe the water volume and water quality status inside the tank, improving the user experience and the friendliness of human-computer interaction.

[0014] Simple structure and high integration: The bottom-mounted layout makes the equipment shape more like a regular cube or cylinder, resulting in a simpler and more complete appearance. The clean water tank, as the base of the equipment or an internal module, is highly integrated with the main body, eliminating the piecemeal feel of a side-mounted design.

[0015] Flexible connection solutions: This utility model provides two core connection methods, "vertical docking" and "horizontal docking", which correspond to different usage habits and product form requirements, and have a high degree of design flexibility. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The following detailed description of two preferred embodiments of the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings, will fully demonstrate the technical solution and advantages of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1: Vertical docking like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the washing device in this embodiment is a baby bottle washing machine. Its main body includes a main unit 1 and a washing chamber 2 located on the upper part of the main unit 1. A rotating spray arm (not shown in the figure) is provided at the bottom of the washing chamber 2. The main unit 1 integrates a water pump, a heating device, control circuitry, etc. (not fully shown in the figure).

[0024] The key feature is that a separate clean water tank 3 is located below the main unit body 1. The clean water tank 3 is made of transparent plastic through a single injection molding process, forming part of the overall visual appearance of the equipment, allowing users to directly observe the water level. A removable water inlet plug 8-1 is located on the top of the clean water tank 3.

[0025] The main unit body 1 and the clean water tank 3 are connected by a vertical docking mechanism to achieve a detachable water circuit connection. The specific structure of this mechanism is as follows: At the bottom of the main unit body 1, a recessed water inlet 5-1 is provided. A sealing ring 5-2 is embedded in the water inlet 5-1. The water inlet 5-1 is connected to the water pump inlet inside the unit body via a pipe. A corresponding water inlet plug 5-3 is provided on the top of the clean water tank 3, corresponding to the position of the water inlet 5-1, and its front end can form a sealing fit with the sealing ring 5-2; the other end of the water inlet plug 5-3 extends to the bottom of the inner cavity of the clean water tank 3. A guide post 7 is also provided at the bottom of the main unit body 1, and a positioning groove 9 that mates with the guide post 7 is provided at the corresponding position on the top of the clean water tank 3.

[0026] Operation and working method: When water needs to be added or cleaned, the user holds both sides of the main unit 1 and lifts it vertically upwards to separate the water inlet 5-1 from the water inlet plug 5-3, thereby separating the entire main unit 1 from the clean water tank 3 (e.g., Figure 2(Status). After adding water, align the guide post 7 at the bottom of the main unit 1 with the positioning groove 9 of the clean water tank 3, and align the water inlet 5-1 with the water inlet plug 5-3, then place it vertically downwards. Under the guidance of the guide post 7 and the positioning groove 9, ensure that the two are accurately aligned until the water inlet plug 5-3 is inserted into the water inlet 5-1 and sealed by the sealing ring 5-2, thus completing the water circuit connection.

[0027] Example 2: Horizontal docking like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment is also a baby bottle cleaning machine, and its main components, such as the main body 1 and the washing chamber 2, are similar to those in Embodiment 1. The difference lies in the connection and placement method of the clean water tank 3.

[0028] In this embodiment, the lower part of the main body 1 is provided with a forward-opening receiving cavity 10. The clean water tank 3 can be pushed into the receiving cavity 10 or pulled out horizontally from it by sliding horizontally. The main body 1 and the clean water tank 3 are connected by a horizontal docking connection mechanism to achieve a detachable water circuit connection. The specific structure of this mechanism is as follows: A horizontal water inlet plug 6-3 is provided on the rear inner wall of the receiving cavity 10. The horizontal water inlet plug 6-3 is connected to the water pump inlet in the main body 1 through a pipe. On the rear wall of the clean water tank 3, a horizontal water inlet 6-1 is provided at a position corresponding to the horizontal water inlet plug 6-3. A horizontal sealing ring 6-2 is embedded in the horizontal water inlet 6-1. The horizontal water inlet 6-1 is connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the clean water tank 3 through a pipe. A handle 11 is also provided on the side of the clean water tank 3.

[0029] Operation and working method: When water needs to be added, the user holds the handle 11 of the clean water tank 3 and pulls it horizontally outward to pull the clean water tank 3 out of the receiving cavity 10. After adding water, push the clean water tank 3 horizontally inward into the receiving cavity 10. When the clean water tank 3 is pushed to the end of its stroke (working position), its horizontal water inlet 6-1 aligns and contacts with the horizontal water inlet plug 6-3 on the main body 1, and a sealing connection is achieved through the horizontal sealing ring 6-2. The side wall of the receiving cavity 10 slides against the outer wall of the clean water tank 3, which guides and limits the pushing and pulling movement, ensuring accurate docking of the horizontal water inlet 6-1 and the horizontal water inlet plug 6-3.

[0030] The common advantage of both embodiments is that, regardless of whether the connection is vertical or horizontal, the core objective of "lower-positioned water tank 3, saving lateral space" is achieved. The water tank 3 is located below the main unit body 1, resulting in a compact overall profile and a significantly reduced required platform depth. The transparent water tank design provides an intuitive visual effect and user experience.

[0031] The scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any washing equipment that adopts the core design of "lower-mounted clean water tank connected by a detachable water channel" under the inspiration of this utility model concept, regardless of the specific connection method, should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0032] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0033] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this utility model is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
