Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid storage equipment technology, and in particular to a car wash liquid tank. Background Technology

[0002] The windshield washer fluid reservoir is used to store washer fluid. To ensure normal driving and washing, the windshield washer fluid reservoir must have a certain amount of liquid. When the fluid level drops to a point where the amount of washer fluid is insufficient to guarantee normal cleaning, an alarm will sound, reminding you to add washer fluid.

[0003] For example, CN111746472A, published on October 9, 2020, discloses a novel air filter structure for a washing liquid tank, belonging to the field of automotive manufacturing technology. It includes a washing tank body, a guide pipe, a washing pump, and a rubber sleeve. The lower end of the guide pipe has an elongated structure extending into the interior of the washing tank body. The washing pump is located at the lower part of the washing tank body and engages with it. The rubber sleeve is located at the connection point between the washing tank and the washing pump, ensuring the sealing of the washing tank body. However, after long-term use, the bottom of the aforementioned washing liquid tank suffers from excessively high impurity concentration when the liquid level is shallow. When adding washing liquid, impurities easily splash onto the level sensor and washing pump, potentially damaging them and resulting in a short service life for the washing liquid tank. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a car wash liquid container with a longer service life. This invention uses a baffle plate installed on the bottom wall of the container to prevent impurities from splashing onto the level sensor and wash pump during filling, thereby protecting the level sensor and wash pump, preventing damage to them, increasing their service life, and making it more practical.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a car wash liquid tank, including a tank body, a liquid level sensor, a wash pump and a filling port are provided on the tank body, a partition is provided on the bottom wall of the tank body, the filling port is located on one side of the partition, and the liquid level sensor and the wash pump are located on the other side of the partition.

[0006] The partition is provided with side plates, and the washing pump and liquid level sensor are arranged on both sides of the side plates. The liquid level sensor and the washing pump are arranged on the same side of the partition.

[0007] A sedimentation area is provided on one side of the partition. A liquid level detection area and a washing pump working area are provided between the partition and the side plate. The sedimentation area, liquid level detection area and washing pump working area are interconnected. The liquid level sensor is located in the liquid level detection area. The washing pump is located in the washing pump working area. The filling port is located in the sedimentation area.

[0008] The partition has a notch connecting the filling sedimentation area and the liquid level detection area, and the side plate has a flow hole connecting the liquid level detection area and the washing pump working area.

[0009] The height of the notch on the partition is flush with the height of the liquid level sensor.

[0010] The bottom wall of the tank is sloped.

[0011] The height of one side of the filling port is higher than the height of one side of the liquid level sensor.

[0012] The partition, side plates, and bottom wall of the tank are integrally molded parts.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] The filling port adds washing liquid into the tank. The baffle set on the bottom wall of the tank prevents impurities from splashing onto the liquid level sensor and washing pump during filling, thereby protecting the liquid level sensor and washing pump, preventing damage to them, increasing the service life of the liquid level sensor and washing pump, and thus increasing the service life of the entire tank, making it more practical.

[0015] The tank is divided into a filling and settling area, a liquid level detection area, and a washing pump working area by partitions and side plates. Liquid flow is achieved in different areas through notches on the partitions and flow holes on the side plates. The liquid level detection area always has a separate, isolated liquid that does not shift with the overall liquid level of the washing liquid tank. It only shifts according to the notches on the partitions, thereby reducing the probability of false alarms. The height of the notches is consistent with the alarm height of the liquid level sensor, and the normal working environment will not affect the performance of the liquid level sensor.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0021] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the car wash liquid tank includes a tank body 1. The tank body 1 is equipped with a liquid level sensor 2, a wash pump 3 and a filling port 4. A partition 5 is provided on the bottom wall of the tank body 1. The filling port 4 is located on one side of the partition 5, and the liquid level sensor 2 and the wash pump 3 are located on the other side of the partition 5. Specifically, the filling port 4 is equipped with a filling pipe, through which wash liquid is added to the tank body 1.

[0023] Washing liquid is added into tank 1 through filling port 4. The baffle 5 set on the bottom wall of tank 1 prevents impurities from splashing onto liquid level sensor 2 and washing pump 3 during filling, thereby protecting liquid level sensor 2 and washing pump 3, preventing damage to liquid level sensor 2 and washing pump 3, increasing the service life of liquid level sensor 2 and washing pump 3, and thus increasing the service life of the entire tank 1, making it more practical.

[0024] Specifically, the partition 5 is equipped with a side plate 6, and the washing pump 3 and the liquid level sensor 2 are installed on both sides of the side plate 6. The liquid level sensor 2 is isolated by the side plate 6 and the partition 5, thereby preventing the washing liquid in the washing liquid tank from deflecting as the car moves and causing the liquid level sensor 2 to misjudge, thus ensuring the stable use of the liquid level sensor and making it more practical.

[0025] A sedimentation zone 9 is provided on one side of the partition 5. A liquid level detection zone 10 and a washing pump working zone 11 are provided between the partition 5 and the side plate 6. The sedimentation zone 9, the liquid level detection zone 10 and the washing pump working zone 11 are interconnected. The liquid level sensor 2 is located in the liquid level detection zone 10, the washing pump 3 is located in the washing pump working zone 11, and the filling port 4 is located in the sedimentation zone 9. The washing liquid enters the sedimentation zone 9 through the filling port 4 to settle the impurities in the washing liquid. The washing liquid passes through the liquid level detection zone 10 and the washing pump working zone 11 in sequence. The liquid level sensor 2 in the liquid level detection zone 10 detects the liquid level of the washing liquid. The washing pump 3 in the washing pump working zone 11 operates to discharge the washing liquid in the tank 1 for cleaning.

[0026] The partition 5 has a notch 7 connecting the filling sedimentation zone 9 and the liquid level detection zone 10. The side plate 6 has a flow hole 8 connecting the liquid level detection zone 10 and the washing pump working area 11. The liquid in the filling sedimentation zone 9 enters the liquid level detection zone 10 and the washing pump working area 11 in sequence through the notch 7 and the flow hole 8, thereby ensuring the normal flow of the washing liquid and allowing impurities to settle, thus protecting the liquid level sensor 2 and the washing pump 4 in the liquid level detection zone 10 and the washing pump working area 11.

[0027] The height of the notch 7 on the partition 5 is flush with the height of the liquid level sensor 2, so that the performance of the liquid level sensor 2 will not be affected when the washing liquid in the tank 1 is working normally, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the liquid level sensor 2 and preventing misjudgment of the liquid level in the tank 1.

[0028] The bottom wall of the tank 1 is inclined. The inclination ensures that the floor cleaning liquid is added to the sedimentation zone 9. After the liquid is consumed, the impurities will settle at the lowest point due to gravity. In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the bottom wall is 5°.

[0029] In this embodiment, the height of one side of the filling port 4 is higher than the height of one side of the liquid level sensor 2, so that the liquid flowing through the filling port 4 can be allowed to undergo impurity sedimentation under gravity and then flow into the liquid level detection area 10.

[0030] The partition 5, side plate 6, and bottom wall of tank 1 are integrally molded, resulting in higher strength of the partition 5 and side plate 6 after molding within tank 1, thereby increasing the service life of the entire washing liquid tank and enhancing its practicality.

[0031] In summary, when using the detergent tank, detergent is added to the tank 1 through the filling port 4. Due to the slope of the bottom wall 1, impurities in the detergent settle at the bottom of the tank 1 due to gravity in the sedimentation zone 9. The detergent flows sequentially into the liquid level detection zone 10 and the detergent pump working zone 11 through the notch 7 on the partition 5 and the flow hole 8 on the side plate 6. The detergent pump 3 operates, outputting the detergent from the tank 1 for cleaning. The liquid flows in the notch 7 and the flow hole 8. The partition 5 prevents impurities from splashing onto the liquid level sensor 2 and the detergent pump 3 during filling, thus protecting the liquid level sensor 2 and the detergent pump 3 from damage. Furthermore, the side plate 6 and the partition 5 isolate the liquid level sensor 2, preventing the detergent in the tank from deflecting due to the movement of the car and causing misjudgment by the liquid level sensor 2. This makes the inspection results of the liquid level sensor 2 more accurate.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
