Abstract
Description
Water tank and cleaning equipment Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cleaning equipment, in particular to a water tank and cleaning equipment. Background Art
[0002] Existing cleaning equipment generally needs to be equipped with a water tank, but the existing cleaning equipment generally arranges the clean water tank and the sewage tank separately. The dirty liquid generated after the clean liquid in the clean water tank is discharged for operation is sucked into the sewage tank. As the cleaning work progresses, the clean liquid in the clean water tank gradually decreases, and the dirty liquid in the sewage tank gradually increases. The clean water tank and the sewage tank will not be filled at the same time, resulting in a waste of water tank volume space. The water tank usually takes up a large space in the cleaning equipment, resulting in a large size of the cleaning equipment, which easily limits the passability of the cleaning equipment and has high space requirements for the use environment, especially not conducive to use in a small space. However, if the water storage capacity is sacrificed and a small water tank is used to keep the cleaning equipment small, it will result in a small amount of clean water per unit area, or it will be necessary to frequently add clean liquid to the water tank of the cleaning equipment and discharge dirty liquid, which will deteriorate the cleaning effect or user experience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0071] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific embodiments. People familiar with this technology can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification.
[0072] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification for understanding and reading by those familiar with this technology, and are not used to limit the conditions for implementation of the present invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change in the proportional relationship, or adjustment of the size should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention without affecting the efficacy and purpose of the present invention. At the same time, terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of description and are not used to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. Changes or adjustments in their relative relationships should also be considered as the scope of implementation of the present invention without substantially changing the technical content.
[0073] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, 12, and 13, in some optional embodiments, the present application provides a water tank comprising a first tank body 1 and a second tank body 2. The second tank body 2 is installed within the first tank body 1; the second tank body 2 has a first chamber 23, and a second chamber 11 is formed between the outer wall of the second tank body 2 and the inner wall of the first tank body 1; wherein the second tank body 2 comprises a hard portion 22 and a soft portion 21, the hard portion 22 and the soft portion 21 being connected to form the first chamber 23, and the soft portion 21 is deformable to change the volume ratio of the first chamber 23 to the second chamber 11.
[0074] The hard part can be made of a material that is less likely to deform when subjected to the force of the fluid, and the soft part can be made of a material that is more likely to deform when subjected to the force of the fluid. This allows the soft part to deform when subjected to the force of the liquid in the first chamber or the second chamber, thereby changing the volume ratio of the first chamber and the second chamber.
[0075] Optionally, the soft portion 21 may be a component having a flexible deformation function or an elastic deformation function. It is understood that the flexible deformation function means that the soft portion 21 can be flexibly deformed, but the surface area of the soft portion 21 does not change, and the soft portion 21 will not be pulled or easily torn. The elastic deformation function means that the soft portion 21 can be elastically deformed. Under the action of an external force, the soft portion 21 can expand to increase its surface area. When the external force disappears, the surface area of the soft portion 21 shrinks and returns to its initial state. The shape, structure, and material of the soft portion 21 can be flexibly selected according to needs.
[0076] For example, the second box structure formed by the hardware portion 22 and the software portion 21 is shown in Figure 3. When the first chamber 23 contains liquid and the second chamber 11 does not, the software portion 21 is in the state shown in Figure 3 due to the force exerted by the liquid in the first chamber 23. As the amount of liquid in the second chamber 11 increases, the liquid in the second chamber 11 also exerts a force on the software portion 21. At any position of the software portion, the first force exerted by the liquid in the second chamber 11 on the software portion 21 is directed toward the first chamber 23, and the second force exerted by the liquid in the first chamber 23 on the software portion 11 is directed toward the second chamber 11. When the first force is greater than the second force, the software portion deforms, concaving from the state shown in Figure 3 toward the first chamber 23, reducing the volume of the second chamber 11 and increasing the volume of the first chamber 23, thereby changing the volume ratio between the first chamber 23 and the second chamber 11. The above is merely illustrative and does not constitute a specific limitation on the solutions provided in the embodiments of this specification.
[0077] The arrangement and connection method of the hardware portion 22 and the software portion 21 in the second housing 2 are not limited. For example, the hardware portion may be a shell with an opening, with the software portion covering at least a portion of the hardware portion and the entire opening of the hardware portion. Alternatively, the second housing 2 may include multiple, unconnected sections of hardware, with the software portion disposed between the hardware portions, secured to the hardware portions with screws or glue to form the first chamber 23.
[0078] The volume of the first box body 1 can be set to be fixed. For example, the first box body 1 is a hard part as a whole; the first box body 1 can also be not limited to being a hard part as a whole. Cleaning equipment is usually equipped with a water tank containing chamber, and the inner wall of the containing chamber is a hard part as a whole, which is used to limit the volume of the first box body 1 from changing. Of course, the volume of the first box body 1 can also be set to be changeable, so as to change the volume of the water tank as a whole according to the demand for the liquid to be contained in the water tank as a whole; accordingly, changing the volume ratio of the first chamber 23 and the second chamber 11 can mean that when the volume of the first box body 1 is fixed at a certain value, as the soft part 21 deforms, the volume of the first chamber 23 increases and the volume of the second chamber 11 decreases; or, when the volume of the first box body 1 is fixed at a certain value, as the soft part 21 deforms, the volume of the first chamber 23 decreases and the volume of the second chamber 11 increases.
[0079] The water tank and the cleaning device can be separable structures. The water tank can also be fixed in the cleaning device, for example, the shell of the first box body 1 can be formed by the wall of the accommodating chamber of the water tank of the cleaning device.
[0080] The second box body 2 is detachably installed in the first box body 1, and is easy to disassemble and assemble, so that the second box body 2 can be taken out and the first box body 1 or the second box body 2 can be cleaned. After the cleaning equipment has been cleaning for a period of time, dirt and residue are likely to remain on the walls of the first box body 1 and / or the second box body 2, and the functional mechanisms in the water tank. If not cleaned properly, they are likely to become moldy and smelly. By detachably installing the second box body 2 in the first box body 1, it is convenient for users to take out the second box body 2 and clean the first box body 1, the second box body 2 and the functional mechanisms in the water tank, effectively reducing the phenomenon of mold and odor in the water tank. At the same time, taking out the second box body 2 can also facilitate the maintenance of the functional mechanisms in the water tank. Of course, the second box body 2 can also be fixedly installed in the first box body 1, which is not limited here.
[0081] One of the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 23 is used to contain clean liquid, and the other is used to contain dirty liquid.
[0082] For example, a water tank can be installed on a cleaning robot. The cleaning liquid can be, for example, clean water or a cleaning liquid with added disinfectant or decontaminant, without limitation. The cleaning liquid in the water tank can be added to the cleaning robot's rag to perform floor cleaning. The dirty liquid can be, for example, dirty liquid sucked from the cleaning robot's rag. Typically, during the cleaning process of the cleaning robot on the floor, the cleaning liquid gradually decreases and the dirty liquid gradually increases. Based on the water tank provided in the embodiments of this specification, the second housing has a soft portion that can flexibly deform so that the volume ratio between the first chamber and the second chamber can change relative to each other. In the case where one of the first chamber and the second chamber is used to hold cleaning liquid and the other is used to hold dirty liquid, the above structure can gradually reduce the volume of the chamber holding the cleaning liquid and gradually increase the volume of the chamber holding the dirty liquid, thereby meeting cleaning requirements and improving user experience without changing the overall volume of the water tank. Of course, the above scenario examples are only preferred examples and do not constitute a limitation of the embodiments of this specification. For example, the water tank can also be installed on a cleaning base station.
[0083] The water tank provided in the embodiments of this specification not only ensures the liquid storage capacity to meet cleaning needs, but also reduces the space required for cleaning equipment by the water tank. Furthermore, in the water tank of the above embodiment, the second box body 2 is installed in the first box body 1, making the second box body 2 relatively independent of the first box body 1, making the installation of the box body more flexible. For example, the second box body 2 can be fixedly connected to the first box body 1 or detachably connected. In addition, the second box body 2 has a hard body portion 22. The shape and structure of the hard body portion 22 are stable and can serve as an installation carrier, providing stable installation space and support for components, which is conducive to improving the overall reliability of the water tank.
[0084] Referring to Figures 3, 5, 8 and 9, in some optional embodiments, the hardware part 22 has a first accommodating area 231 with a first opening 224 at one end, and the soft part 21 is arranged at the first opening 224. The first accommodating area 231 and the soft part 21 form a first chamber 23; when the soft part 21 is recessed in the first accommodating area 231, the hardware part 22 has an installation part staggered from the soft part 21, and the installation part is for installing the functional mechanism of the first chamber 23 and / or the second chamber 11.
[0085] Functional mechanisms may refer to water pipes, liquid level detection mechanisms, valves, gas-liquid separation structures, control circuits, and the like. When the soft part is deformed, it may interfere with the functional mechanisms in the water tank, causing damage to the soft part, or the soft part may affect the normal operation of the valve, liquid level detection mechanism, and gas-liquid separation structure. The water tank of this embodiment is arranged so that when the soft part 21 is recessed in the first accommodating area 231, the hard part 22 has a mounting portion that is staggered from the soft part 21. The mounting portion is provided for mounting the functional mechanisms of the first chamber 23 and / or the second chamber 11. This can prevent the soft part 21 from interfering with the functional mechanisms, ensure the normal operation of the functional mechanisms, avoid possible damage to the soft part, and improve the reliability of the water tank.
[0086] The soft portion 21 may be a thin film covering the first opening 224 .
[0087] Alternatively, the soft body part 21 may also be formed with a cavity, such as a soft bag, a soft shell or other structural forms with a cavity, see Figures 3, 5, 8 and 9. In some optional embodiments, when the soft body part 21 is not recessed in the first accommodating area 231, the soft body part 21 has a second accommodating area 232 with a second opening 211 at one end, and the second opening 211 of the soft body part 21 is sealedly connected to the first opening 224 of the hard body part 22; and the first accommodating area 231 and the second accommodating area 232 are communicated to form a first chamber 23.
[0088] Alternatively, the hardware portion 22 and the software portion 21 may be sealed together by bonding, fastening, or other methods. Furthermore, the software portion 21 may be partially covered over the portion of the hardware portion 22 protruding from the edge of the first opening 224, and then the software portion 21 and the hardware portion 22 may be fastened together with screws to squeeze the portion where the software portion 21 and the hardware portion 22 are connected, thereby forming a seal. The flexible material of the software portion 21 itself is utilized to achieve the seal, resulting in a simple structure and a simple and convenient sealing connection. Alternatively, the software portion 21 and the hardware portion 22 may be sealed together by applying glue and fastening, resulting in a reliable sealing connection.
[0089] In the water tank of the above embodiment, the soft part 21 is a structural form that can form a cavity, which can further increase the deformation space of the soft part 21. The deformation of the soft part 21 is a flexible deformation, which not only has low requirements on the material of the soft part 21, but also helps to reduce the risk of the soft part 21 being pulled, torn and damaged, avoids long-term deformation of the soft part 21 and the shedding of the hard part 22, and helps to extend the service life.
[0090] Referring to Figures 1, 3, 5, 8, and 9, in some alternative embodiments, when the soft portion 21 is not recessed within the first accommodating area 231, the soft portion 21 and the hard portion 22 are arranged horizontally, and the first opening 224 can extend vertically. Alternatively, the soft portion 21 and the hard portion 22 can be arranged vertically. Alternatively, the first opening 224 can be arranged at an angle.
[0091] Optionally, when the soft portion 21 is not recessed in the first accommodating area 231 , the first opening 224 is located above the soft portion 21 .
[0092] For example, the first opening 224 can be arranged to extend in the horizontal direction, and the hardware part 22 can be located directly above the soft part 21. Specifically, when the soft part 21 is not recessed in the first accommodating area 231, the first opening 224 is located above the soft part 21, and the soft part 21 is located below the hard part 22. Even when there is less liquid in the first chamber 23, the liquid preferentially acts on the soft part 21. Under the action of its own gravity or the action of the liquid contained therein, the soft part 21 falls away from the first accommodating area 231, reducing interference with the first accommodating area 231. This not only facilitates the installation of the functional mechanism, but also helps to further reduce the risk of interference between the soft part 21 and the functional mechanism.
[0093] Alternatively, the first opening 224 can be arranged at an angle, and the hard part 22 can be located above and to the side of the soft part 21. When the first opening 224 is arranged at an angle, the soft part 21 has side walls extending vertically and a bottom wall extending laterally, so that the soft part 21 will deform when squeezed by fluid in both horizontal and vertical directions, thereby improving the flexibility of the soft part 21 in deforming, thereby more effectively changing the volume ratio of the first chamber 23 and the second chamber 11. In addition, the first opening 224 is arranged at an angle so that the first opening 224 can be located on one side of the soft part 21 in the circumferential direction, so that at least one side of the soft part 21 will not be squeezed in the horizontal direction, and it can also effectively prevent the four sides of the soft part from being squeezed in the horizontal direction at the same time and moving closer to the middle to block the flow path of the liquid.
[0094] Optionally, when the soft part 21 is not sunken or deformed but is in a natural initial state, the first chamber 23 surrounded by the hard part 22 and the soft part 21 can be in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and the second box body 2 can also be in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. However, it can be understood that the shapes of the first chamber 23 and the second box body 2 are not limited to rectangular parallelepiped, and can also be other shapes.
[0095] It can be understood that in this application, the definitions of directions such as up, down, horizontal and vertical directions are based on the orientation of the water tank in the normal operating state of the cleaning equipment; among them, the vertical direction includes the Z direction in the accompanying drawings, and the horizontal direction includes the X and Y directions in the accompanying drawings.
[0096] 5 to 7 , in some optional embodiments, the sidewall of the upper end of the hardware portion 22 is provided with an inwardly recessed escape area 223. The mounting portion includes the escape area 223, which is located above the soft portion 21. As part of the mounting portion, the escape area 223 can be used to mount functional mechanisms, further saving space and making the structure compact.
[0097] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, in some optional embodiments, the functional mechanism includes a sewage suction channel 5, at least part of the sewage suction channel 5 is enclosed between the avoidance area 223 and the inner wall of the first box body 1, and / or the avoidance area 223 is used for installing at least part of the sewage suction channel 5; one end of the sewage suction channel 5 is connected to the outside of the water tank, and the other end is connected to the negative pressure device 41, which is suitable for pumping the sewage suction channel 5 into a negative pressure to suck the dirty liquid into the chamber for accommodating the dirty liquid through the sewage suction channel 5. The sewage suction channel 5 is partially formed in the avoidance area 223, or is installed in the avoidance area 223, making the structure more compact. The negative pressure device 41 can be a fan, etc., without limitation.
[0098] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, in some optional embodiments, the first chamber 23 is used to hold clean liquid, and the second chamber 11 is used to hold dirty liquid, making the arrangement of the sewage suction channel 5 simpler and more convenient, without the need for a large number of openings and sealing structures. Specifically, when the first chamber 23 holds clean liquid and the second chamber 11 holds dirty liquid, an inwardly recessed escape area 223 can be provided on the sidewall of the upper end of the hard body 22, and at least a portion of the sewage suction channel 5 is enclosed between the escape area 223 and the inner wall of the first box body 1. The above structure makes the arrangement of the sewage suction channel 5 simpler and more convenient, without the need for a large number of openings and sealing structures; and it can also effectively prevent the deformation of the soft body 21 from interfering with the sewage suction channel 5, while making the water tank structure more compact.
[0099] Referring to Figures 5, 6, 10, and 11, some optional embodiments further include a gas-liquid separation device 42 disposed within the avoidance zone 223. The gas-liquid separation device 42 includes a housing 421 having a liquid inlet 4211, an air outlet 4212, and a liquid discharge port 4213. The liquid inlet 4211 communicates with the sewage suction channel 5; the liquid discharge port 4213 communicates with a chamber for holding dirty liquid; the air outlet 4212 communicates with the air inlet of the negative pressure extraction device 41; and the liquid discharge port 4213 is lower than the air outlet 4212. The gas-liquid separation device 42 is disposed within the avoidance zone 223 to more effectively prevent deformation of the soft body 21 from affecting the fluid channel of the gas-liquid separation device 42.
[0100] Referring to Figures 5, 6, 10 and 11, in some optional embodiments, the gas-liquid separation device 42 includes at least one deflection component 43 provided in a shell 421. The deflection component 43 may include a plurality of deflectors, and the deflectors include straight plates and / or bent plates with an arc-shaped structure. The deflectors may be arranged at different positions in the shell 421 as required, so that the liquid velocity in the gas-liquid mixture is less than the airflow velocity. After the airflow containing liquid hits the deflector and then turns rapidly, due to the different inertia of gas and liquid, the airflow is more likely to change its direction and continue to flow downstream, while small droplets will hit the deflector and converge. Liquid has a larger mass than gas, and generally settles below after convergence, so that the liquid in the gas-liquid mixture is gradually deposited during the transportation process. Alternatively, the drain port 4213 may be arranged lower than the air outlet 4212, so that the liquid can be discharged into the chamber containing the dirty liquid through the drain port 4213 due to gravity. When the gas-liquid mixture reaches the air inlet of the negative pressure extraction device 41, there is essentially no liquid or only a small amount of liquid, thereby reducing the impact on the outside air or the internal components of the cleaning device. Of course, a simple gas-liquid separation mechanism can also be configured in the negative pressure extraction device 41 to further perform gas-liquid separation and reduce the impact on the outside air or the internal components of the cleaning device.
[0101] Optionally, when the deflector 43 is a baffle with an arcuate structure, the baffle 43 has at least one arcuate surface 431, which is recessed from the liquid inlet 4211 toward the gas outlet 4212. After the fluid in the sewage suction channel 5 passes through the liquid inlet 4211 and the arcuate surface 431, the liquid in the fluid is discharged through the liquid outlet 4213, and the gas in the fluid is discharged through the gas outlet 4212. The use of an arcuate baffle recessed toward the gas outlet 4212 in the baffle 43 can make the fluid flow direction change more gentle and prevent splashing. Furthermore, the use of an arcuate baffle recessed toward the gas outlet 4212 can also make the fluid converge more after turning, making it easier for the liquid to converge and settle. Furthermore, when multiple baffles are provided in the fluid path, the use of an arcuate baffle recessed toward the gas outlet 4212 can also avoid excessive initial deceleration of the gas-liquid mixture, which could affect the flow effect of the gas-liquid mixture.
[0102] Optionally, the number of drain ports 4213 can be one or more, and a baffle corresponding to each drain port 4213 is provided in the shell 421. Baffles can be provided at positions corresponding to the drain ports 4213 in the shell 421, so that the gas-liquid separation effect is good and the separated liquid can be discharged in time.
[0103] Referring to Figures 5, 6, 10, and 11, in some optional embodiments, the liquid drain port 4213 is located below the curved surface, and the gas outlet 4212 is located above the curved surface. By placing the liquid drain port 4213 below the curved surface and the gas outlet 4212 above the curved surface, the liquid has a greater mass than the gas and will generally settle below when it is gathered. This can prevent the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure device 41 from carrying the liquid into the gas outlet. At the same time, it can also facilitate the collected liquid to fall directly into the chamber containing the dirty liquid through gravity, thereby improving the gas-liquid separation effect.
[0104] Baffles can be set on the fluid flow path, see Figures 5, 6, 10 and 11. In some optional embodiments, the baffle component 43 includes at least one first baffle, the liquid discharge port 4213 and the gas outlet 4212 are located on one side of the first baffle, and the liquid inlet 4211 is located on the other side of the first baffle. One end of the first baffle is fixed to the shell 421, and a communication port is formed between the other end and the side wall of the shell 421, so that the cavities on both sides of the first baffle in the shell 421 are connected. Providing at least one first baffle in the fluid flow path in the shell 421 is conducive to converging the liquid in advance and further improving the gas-liquid separation effect. At the same time, one end of the first baffle is fixed to the shell of the gas-liquid separation device, and a communication port is formed between the other end and the side wall of the shell of the gas-liquid separation device. The side wall of the shell of the gas-liquid separation device can also be used to change the flow direction of the fluid, reduce the number of baffles set, and reduce the complexity of the structure.
[0105] 5, 6, 10, and 11, in some optional embodiments, the baffle member 43 includes a second baffle, the gas outlet 4212 is provided on the side wall of the housing 421, the liquid outlet 4213 is provided on the bottom wall of the housing 421, and the curved surface of the second baffle is provided on the inner wall surface of the side wall where the gas outlet 4212 is located. Providing the baffle directly below the gas outlet 4212 in the housing 421 helps further reduce the amount of liquid that enters the gas outlet 4212.
[0106] Referring to Figures 5, 6, 10, and 11, in some optional embodiments, a guide portion is provided at one end of the first baffle plate near the connecting port, and the guide portion is bent toward the arcuate surface of the rear first baffle plate or the second baffle plate located on the airflow path. When there are multiple first baffle plates, on the fluid flow path, the guide portion of the front first baffle plate can be bent toward the arcuate surface of the rear first baffle plate located on the airflow path; and the guide portion of the last first baffle plate can be bent toward the arcuate surface of the second baffle plate, so as to guide the fluid to flow in the direction of the rear baffle plate on the airflow path, thereby ensuring that each baffle plate can effectively achieve the effect of gas-liquid separation.
[0107] 3, 5 to 7, in some optional embodiments, the hardware portion 22 is provided with an overflow port 24 connecting the first chamber 23 and the second chamber 11. The overflow port 24 is located on the fluid flow path of the sewage suction channel 5. The overflow port 24 is located on the fluid flow path within the housing 421. This facilitates the airflow overflowing from the overflow port 24 to flow along the gas flow path and be discharged outside the water tank through the air inlet of the negative pressure extraction device 4. The air pressure environment of the fluid flow path within the housing 421 can also help accelerate the flow rate of the airflow overflowing from the overflow port 24.
[0108] 3 to 6 , in some optional embodiments, an overflow port 24 communicating with the first chamber 23 and the second chamber 11 is provided on the upper portion of the second housing 2 .
[0109] Optionally, the overflow port 24 is located on the upper side wall of the hardware portion 22, which not only avoids interference from the soft portion 21, but also eliminates the need to close the overflow port 24 when the water tank is performing a sewage suction operation to create a negative pressure, thereby simplifying the structure and making operation easier. Specifically, when the water tank is performing a sewage suction operation, a negative pressure environment is formed, and the airflow in the chamber containing the clean liquid can be directly discharged into the chamber containing the dirty liquid through the overflow port 24 and sucked away by the negative pressure, without the need for an additional separate exhaust valve; even if the air pressure causes the liquid in the chamber containing the clean liquid to overflow, the water will directly overflow into the chamber containing the dirty liquid and will not enter other spaces and damage the equipment.
[0110] In the water tank of the above embodiment, an overflow port 24 is provided on the upper portion of the second box body 2, which connects the first chamber 23 and the second chamber 11, so that one of the first chamber 23 and the second chamber 11 can receive water overflowing from the other. For example, when the water in the first chamber 23 is a clean liquid, the clean liquid in the first chamber 23 can directly overflow into the second chamber 11 through the overflow port 24; in addition, the overflow port 24 can also keep the air pressure in the first chamber 23 and the second chamber 11 consistent, so that the soft part 21 can move normally to deform.
[0111] 3 to 7 , in some optional embodiments, a second liquid level monitoring component is installed in the second chamber 11, which is suitable for monitoring a preset maximum liquid level in the second chamber 11. The preset maximum liquid level monitored by the second liquid level monitoring component is lower than the drain port 4213, which is lower than the air outlet 4212, and which is lower than the overflow port 24. When the second liquid level monitoring component detects that the water in the second chamber 11 exceeds the preset maximum liquid level, the negative pressure extraction device 41 is closed, the second chamber 11 is no longer negatively pressurized, and the dirty liquid in the second chamber 11 no longer increases. An alarm is triggered to drain the dirty liquid in the second chamber 11, thereby preventing the dirty liquid in the second chamber 11 from flowing back from the drain port 4213 into the first chamber, the sewage suction channel, the gas-liquid separation device 42, and the negative pressure extraction device 41, which helps to prevent damage to the negative pressure extraction device 41 and other circuits in the device.
[0112] 1 , 5 , 12 and 13 , in some optional embodiments, the number of the sewage suction channels 5 can also be set according to demand, for example, it can be one, two or more.
[0113] Referring to Figures 3 to 7 , in some optional embodiments, the sewage suction channel 5 includes a first section 51 and a second section 52 connected to the first section 51. The second section 52 is formed between the avoidance area 223 and the inner wall of the first housing 1. Alternatively, the avoidance area 223 is provided for mounting the second section 52, the second section 52 is connected to the negative pressure extraction device 41, and the first section 51 is connected to the exterior of the water tank. The formation of the second section 52 between the avoidance area 223 and the inner wall of the first housing 1 not only simplifies the structure but also reduces the effect of the air pressure within the second section 52 on the deformation of the soft body 21. The avoidance area 223 is provided for mounting the second section 52, preventing interference between the second section 52 and the soft body 21.
[0114] Referring to Figures 3 to 7, in some optional embodiments, the first section 51 is formed on the outer wall of the first box body 1, which can reduce the occupancy of the internal space of the first box body 1 and save space; or, the first section 51 is defined by part of the outer wall of the hardware part 22 and part of the inner wall of the first box body 1, which not only has a simple and compact structure, but also avoids interference of the software part 21 with the first section 51.
[0115] In addition, the first section 51 may be provided at a top corner of the first box body 1 , a middle portion of a side wall of the first box body 1 , or other locations.
[0116] Optionally, the first housing 1 may be in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. In the length direction of the first housing 1, the first section 51 is located in the middle of one side of the first housing 1, and the first section 51 is located in the middle of the side wall of the first housing 1. In this application, the length direction of the first housing 1 may be the X direction in the drawings, the width direction of the first housing 1 may be the Y direction in the drawings, and the height direction of the first housing 1 may be the Z direction in the drawings.
[0117] In the water tank of the above embodiment, the first section 51 can be flexibly arranged according to needs, especially the first section 51 is arranged in the middle of the side wall of the first box body 1, so that the first section 51 is located in a relatively central position of the first box body 1, which is conducive to shortening the conveying path. The first section 51 is easy to set up and is conducive to processing into a straight tube structure.
[0118] Referring to Figures 1, 5, 12 and 13, in some optional embodiments, the first section 51 extends in the vertical direction to form a straight tube structure. The straight tube structure of the first section 51 can reduce the risk of blockage of the first section 51, facilitate unblocking and maintenance, reduce air volume loss and reduce noise.
[0119] Optionally, the first section 51 can adopt a top water spraying method or a side water spraying method. The first section 51 has a lower inlet 511 and an upper outlet 512. When the side water spraying method is adopted, a turning joint can be connected to the upper outlet 512, which is conducive to adapting to various installation environments and reducing the requirements for the installation environment.
[0120] Referring to Figures 3 to 7, in some optional embodiments, the gas-liquid separation device 42 is disposed in the second section 52, and the drain port 4213 is disposed on the bottom wall of the second section 52. The second section 52 extends in a horizontal direction, which is beneficial to the separation of gas and liquid in the fluid and allows the liquid to be discharged from the drain port 4213 in time. The gas is drawn out and discharged from the air inlet of the negative pressure extraction device 41, thereby reducing the influence of air pressure on the deformation of the soft body 21.
[0121] Optionally, the drain ports 4213 may be distributed at different positions on the bottom wall of the second section 52 as required, so that the sewage can fall into the second chamber 11 in a timely manner under the action of gravity after sedimentation.
[0122] 3 to 7 , in some optional embodiments, the upper outlet 512 of the first section 51 connected to the second section 52 is lower than the drain port 4213 . Usually, when the second liquid level monitoring component detects that the liquid level in the second chamber 11 has reached the preset maximum liquid level, the controller will control the negative pressure device 41 to close, and no more dirty liquid will be sucked into the second chamber 11. However, there may be a special situation where the water in the second chamber 11 continues to rise when the second liquid level monitoring component detects that the liquid level has reached the preset maximum liquid level. For example, there is a situation where the clean liquid in the first chamber 23 overflows from the overflow port 24, causing the liquid level in the second chamber 11 to continue to rise after reaching the preset maximum liquid level, which can easily cause the water in the second chamber 11 to rise and flow back from the drain port 4213; and setting the upper end outlet 512 of the first section 51 at a position lower than the drain port 4213 can allow the backflowing liquid to flow back to the ground from the upper end outlet 512 of the first section 51, thereby preventing the liquid in the second chamber 11 from flowing into the negative pressure device 41 and damaging the equipment in extreme cases.
[0123] Optionally, the detection principle and detection structure of the second liquid level monitoring component are not limited. The second liquid level monitoring component can be a float type liquid level sensor, a buoy type liquid level sensor, etc.
[0124] 3 to 7 , in some optional embodiments, the gas-liquid separation device 42 may be embedded between the outer side wall of the hard body 22 and the inner side wall of the first water tank.
[0125] Referring to Figures 1, 3, 5, 12 and 13, in some optional embodiments, the water tank is installed on the cleaning equipment, and the cleaning equipment also includes a cleaning component 81, a sewage suction port and a sewage discharge port 82. The sewage suction port is used to suck dirty liquid on the cleaning component or dirty liquid on the working surface cleaned by the cleaning component; the sewage discharge port 82 connects the sewage suction port with the sewage suction channel 5 to suck the dirty liquid into the second chamber 11; the sewage suction port is arranged along the preset direction of the cleaning component with the sewage discharge port 82 as the center, and the first section 51 extends in the vertical direction and is formed with a lower end inlet 511 connected to the sewage discharge port 82.
[0126] Optionally, the cleaning assembly 81 includes a sewage collection assembly of the host, a wet cleaning component, or a cleaning disk of the base station. Multiple sewage suction ports are evenly arranged on the cleaning assembly 81. Dirty liquid enters through the multiple sewage suction ports and is concentrated through the sewage discharge port 82 to enter the first section 51 from the lower inlet 511 of the first section 51. The multiple sewage suction ports are evenly arranged at the bottom of the cleaning assembly 81. Furthermore, the cleaning assembly 81 can be in the form of an elongated strip or an arc-shaped structure. This structural design of the cleaning assembly 81 helps increase the sewage suction area. It is understood that the shape of the cleaning assembly 81 is not limited to the shapes listed above and can also be designed into other shapes according to needs.
[0127] In the water tank of the above embodiment, the sewage suction ports are evenly arranged on the cleaning component 81, and are arranged along the preset direction of the cleaning component 81 with the sewage discharge port 81 as the center, which is conducive to evenly distributing the suction force to each sewage suction port through the sewage discharge port 82, so that the air pressure of each sewage suction port is the same, which is convenient for uniform sewage suction, reduces air volume loss, improves sewage suction efficiency, and ensures that a smaller number of first sections 51 can also ensure the sewage suction effect, which is conducive to simplifying the structure and reducing costs.
[0128] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 and 8 to 12 , in some optional embodiments, the functional mechanism of the first chamber 23 includes a valve 33 and / or a delivery pipe assembly 31 and / or a first liquid level monitoring component 32. The valve 33 is adapted to be opened unidirectionally to connect the first chamber 23 and the second chamber 11, allowing the clean liquid to flow to the chamber containing the dirty liquid; the delivery pipe assembly 31 is used to connect the first chamber 23 with the outside of the water tank; and the first liquid level monitoring component 32 is used to monitor the liquid level in the first chamber 23.
[0129] Referring to Figures 5 and 8 to 12, in some optional embodiments, the top wall of the hardware part 22 is further provided with a third opening 221 connected to the first chamber 23, and the third opening 221 includes a placement space for accommodating the fixed platform 222 and a reserved operating space; the fixed platform 222 is installed on the installation part, and the fixed platform 222 is used for installing the functional mechanism of the first chamber 23. The operating space can be a space for performing operations on the functional mechanism of the first chamber 23, such as disassembling and maintaining the functional mechanism of the first chamber 23; the operating space can also be a space for adding liquid to the first chamber 23, which is not only simple and convenient to install and operate, but also has a compact structural layout, which is conducive to reducing the occupied space.
[0130] Referring to Figures 5, 8, and 12, in some optional embodiments, a portion of the fixed platform 222 is formed into a water and electricity compartment 225, within which is sealed a connection component suitable for externally connecting at least some of the functional mechanisms. The water and electricity compartment 225 can be sealed with a sealing cover. The connection component can provide an external connection interface for the conveying pipeline assembly 31, the circuit powering the first liquid level monitoring component 32, the circuit powering the valve 33, and / or other components, thereby enabling the connection between the functional mechanisms and components located outside the water tank.
[0131] In the water tank of the above embodiment, part of the fixed platform 222 is formed into a water and electricity compartment 225, which not only provides space for the connection between the functional mechanisms inside the water tank and the components outside the water tank, but also the space of the water and electricity compartment 225 is relatively closed, which can reduce the impact of water vapor on the components installed in the water and electricity compartment 225, especially reduce the impact on components such as circuits, thereby improving safety and reliability.
[0132] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 and Figures 8 to 12, in some optional embodiments, the functional mechanism of the first chamber 23 includes a delivery pipe assembly 31, and the first chamber 23 is connected to the outside of the water tank through the delivery pipe assembly 31. The liquid in the first chamber 23 can be delivered to the outside of the water tank through the delivery pipe assembly 31.
[0133] Optionally, when cleaning liquid is accumulated in the first chamber 23, the cleaning liquid can be clean water or clean water with detergent added or other liquid with cleaning ability. The delivery pipe assembly 31 is connected to the cleaning assembly 81 outside the water tank, and the cleaning liquid in the first chamber 23 is delivered to the cleaning assembly 81 through the delivery pipe assembly 31 so that the cleaning assembly 81 performs the cleaning operation.
[0134] Optionally, the delivery pipeline assembly 31 includes components such as a water pipe (not shown in the figure) and / or a valve and / or a water inlet and / or a water pump; wherein the water pump provides suction power to transport the water in the first chamber 23 to the outside of the water tank through the water pipe.
[0135] Optionally, some components of the delivery pipeline assembly 31 can be installed on the bottom wall of the hardware part 22, for example, the water inlet end of the delivery pipeline assembly 31 is installed on the bottom wall of the hardware part 22, which is conducive to the full drainage of the liquid in the first chamber 23; some components of the delivery pipeline assembly 31 can be installed on the fixed platform 222, for example, the water outlet end of the delivery pipeline assembly 31 is installed on the fixed platform 222.
[0136] The water tank of the above embodiment, by installing the delivery pipeline assembly 31 on the installation part of the hardware part 22, can not only provide stable and reliable support for the delivery pipeline assembly 31 and make the installation simple and convenient, but also can effectively avoid the soft part 21 from interfering with the delivery pipeline assembly 31 and affecting the normal operation of the delivery pipeline assembly 31, thereby improving the reliability of the delivery pipeline assembly 31.
[0137] Referring to Figures 4, 5, and 8 to 11, in some optional embodiments, the functional mechanism of the first chamber 23 includes a valve 33 that is adapted to open in one direction to connect the first chamber 23 with the second chamber 11, allowing the clean liquid to flow into the chamber containing the dirty liquid. The valve 33 is opened in one direction to prevent the dirty liquid from flowing back into and contaminating the clean liquid.
[0138] Optionally, the valve core 331 of the valve 33 is mounted on the bottom wall of the hardware portion 22, one end of the valve stem 332 of the valve 33 is movably mounted on the fixed platform 222, the other end of the valve stem 332 is connected to the valve core 331, and a pull ring 333 of the valve 33 is mounted on one end of the valve stem 332 and exposed at the third opening 221. The pull ring 333 drives the valve stem 332 to move, thereby driving the valve core 331 at the bottom of the valve stem 332 to open or close the valve 33, which is simple to operate. Furthermore, the valve core 331 can be a plug, and the hardware portion 22 is provided with a drainage hole. The valve stem 332 is connected to the plug and can drive the plug to block and open the drainage hole. It is understood that the structure of the valve 33 is not limited to the mechanical valve 33 exemplified above, and an electric valve 33 can also be used so that the valve 33 can be automatically opened and closed according to instructions.
[0139] The water tank of the above embodiment, by providing a valve 33 connecting the first chamber 23 and the second chamber 11, allows for the flow of clean liquid into the chamber to be cleaned. This allows for easy and convenient cleaning of the water tank, particularly of the chamber containing dirty liquid, without requiring disassembly of components. Furthermore, mounting the valve 33 on the mounting portion of the hardware portion 22 not only provides stable and reliable support for the valve 33, simplifying and facilitating installation, but also effectively prevents interference with the valve 33 by the software portion 21, which could affect its proper operation, thereby improving the reliability of the valve 33.
[0140] 4 , 5 , 8 to 11 , in some optional embodiments, the functional mechanism of the first chamber 23 includes a first liquid level monitoring component 32 , which is suitable for monitoring the liquid level in the first chamber 23 .
[0141] Optionally, the bottom end support of the first liquid level monitoring component 32 is fixed on the bottom wall of the hardware portion 22 , and the top end support of the first liquid level monitoring component 32 is fixed on the fixed platform 222 .
[0142] Optionally, the detection principle and detection structure of the first liquid level monitoring component 32 are not limited. The first liquid level monitoring component 32 can be a float type liquid level sensor, a buoy type liquid level sensor, etc.
[0143] The clean water tank of the above embodiment, by installing the first liquid level monitoring component 32 on the installation part of the hardware part 22, can not only provide stable and reliable support for the first liquid level monitoring component 32 through the hardware part 22, and the installation is simple and convenient, but also can effectively avoid the interference of the software part 21 on the first liquid level monitoring component 32 and affect the normal operation of the first liquid level monitoring component 32, thereby improving the reliability of the first liquid level monitoring component 32.
[0144] 1 , 5 and 6 , in some optional embodiments, the second box body 2 is detachably installed in the first box body 1 .
[0145] Optionally, a handle 25 is provided on the top of the second box body 2 to facilitate taking and placing the second box body 2. Further, the handle 25 is provided on the top wall of the hard body 22 and is located outside the first cavity 23.
[0146] Optionally, the top edge of the second box body 2 has an outwardly bent flange. The second box body 2 is installed in the first box body 1. The flange and the top end of the first box body 1 are limited so that the second box body 2 is suspended in the first box body 1. This structural design is not only convenient for assembly and disassembly, but also facilitates the installation of a sealing ring at the assembly point to achieve a sealed fit, preventing moisture in the second chamber 11 from escaping and affecting other components. It is understandable that the assembly method of the second box body 2 and the first box body 1 is not limited to the methods listed above. Other assembly methods can also be used to stably install the second box body 2 in the first box body 1.
[0147] In the water tank of the above embodiment, the second box body 2 is detachably installed in the first box body 1. Since the second box body 2 adopts the above arrangement, it is also relatively easy to disassemble and assemble. The second box body 2 can be taken out very conveniently without affecting the functional components of the water tank, and the first box body 1, the second box body 2 and the functional mechanisms in the water tank can be cleaned or the functional mechanisms in the water tank can be maintained.
[0148] Referring to Figures 1 and 5, in some optional embodiments, the water tank further includes a tank cover 12, which is flip-mounted on the first tank body 1. The tank cover 12 can be flipped open and closed. When the tank cover 12 is opened, the second tank body 2 can be taken in and placed. When the tank cover 12 is closed, the top of the second tank body 2 can be sealed.
[0149] Referring to Figures 3 to 11, in some optional embodiments, the water tank further includes a protective bracket 6, which is installed in the second chamber 11.

[0150] Optionally, the protective bracket 6 can be connected and fixed to the hardware part 22 by screws, bonding or other connecting methods, and the hardware part 22 provides installation support for the protective bracket 6; or, the protective bracket 6 can be connected and fixed to the side wall of the first box body 1 by screws, bonding or other connecting methods, and the first box body 1 provides installation support for the protective bracket 6; or, the protective bracket 6 can be placed and fixed on the bottom wall of the first box body 1, and fixed by screws, bonding or other methods.
[0151] In the water tank of the above embodiment, the protective bracket 6 is suitable for supporting the soft part 21 to prevent the soft part 21 from shaking during operation, and to reduce excessive deformation caused by the liquid in the first chamber exerting a greater force on the soft part 21 when the second chamber contains less liquid and the first chamber contains more liquid, or loosening of the fixation between the soft part and the hard part, thereby increasing the life of the soft part 21. The water-permeable hole 61 is suitable for connecting the side of the protective bracket 6 facing the soft part 21 and the side facing away from the soft part 21, so that the liquid in the second chamber 11 can enter the protective bracket 6 through the water-permeable hole 61 to squeeze the soft part 21 and cause the soft part 21 to produce flexible deformation, thereby reducing the volume of the first chamber 23 and increasing the volume of the second chamber 11.
[0152] Referring to Figures 3 to 11, 14 and 15, in some optional embodiments, the bottom of the soft part 21 and / or the bottom of the protective bracket 6 are designed with a slope structure, and the position of the slope structure close to the functional mechanism is lower than the position of the slope structure away from the functional mechanism, so as to guide the liquid in the first chamber 23 to flow toward the functional mechanism.

The first slope 62 is suitable for fitting with the bottom surface of the soft body 21 to guide the liquid in the first chamber 23 to flow toward the functional mechanism of the first chamber 23. Furthermore, the height of the first slope 62 gradually decreases from a position away from the functional mechanism to a position close to the functional mechanism. Specifically, the height of the first slope 62 gradually decreases from a position away from the water inlet end of the delivery pipeline assembly 31 to a direction close to the water inlet end of the delivery pipeline assembly 31, so that the water inlet end of the delivery pipeline assembly 31 is at the lowest position of the second chamber 11, so that the water in the second chamber 11 can be fully discharged.
[0154] Optionally, the delivery pipeline assembly 31, the first liquid level monitoring component 32, and the valve 33 are all arranged on the same side of the hardware part 22, and the bottom wall of the hardware part 22 can be located at the lowest position of the second chamber 11, so that the delivery pipeline assembly 31 and the valve 33 can discharge the water in the second chamber 11 to the maximum extent to avoid waste; the first liquid level monitoring component 32 can monitor the lowest liquid level in the second chamber 11.
[0155] When the first chamber is used to hold clean liquid and the second chamber is used to hold dirty liquid, the first box body is provided with a sewage outlet connecting the second chamber with the outside of the water tank, and the bottom of the second chamber has a second inclined surface, and the position of the second inclined surface close to the sewage outlet is lower than the position of the second inclined surface away from the sewage outlet. The second inclined surface is suitable for guiding the dirty liquid in the second chamber to flow toward the sewage outlet so as to completely discharge the dirty liquid.
[0156] In some optional embodiments, the first housing 1 is further provided with a sewage outlet 13, which connects the second chamber 11 with the outside of the water tank. The bottom of the second chamber 11 has a second inclined surface 14, which is lower near the sewage outlet 13 than at a position away from the sewage outlet 13. The second inclined surface 14 is adapted to guide dirty liquid in the second chamber 11 toward the sewage outlet 13, thereby facilitating the drainage of dirty liquid in the second chamber 11. The height of the second inclined surface 14 gradually decreases from a position away from the sewage outlet 13 to a position close to the sewage outlet 13. This structural design facilitates the complete drainage of dirty liquid in the second chamber 11.

Furthermore, a protective bracket 6 is provided to support the soft portion 21, preventing it from shaking during operation. This also reduces excessive deformation caused by the liquid in the first chamber exerting a greater force on the soft portion 21 when the second chamber contains less liquid than the first chamber, or loosening the connection between the soft portion and the hard portion, thereby increasing the lifespan of the soft portion 21. The water-permeable hole 61 connects the side of the protective bracket 6 facing the soft portion 21 with the side facing away from the soft portion 21, allowing liquid in the second chamber 11 to enter the protective bracket 6 through the water-permeable hole 61, squeezing the soft portion 21 and causing it to flexibly deform, thereby reducing the volume of the first chamber 23 and increasing the volume of the second chamber 11.
[0159] 14 and 15 , in some optional embodiments, the isolation component 7 is detachably installed in the first box body 1 .
[0160] Optionally, a handle 25 is provided on the isolation component 7 for easy removal.

The overflow port 24 provided on the isolation member 7 connects the first chamber 23 and the second chamber 11, allowing one of the first chamber 23 and the second chamber 11 to receive liquid overflowing from the other. For example, when the water in the first chamber 23 is a clean liquid, the clean liquid in the first chamber 23 can overflow directly into the second chamber 11 through the overflow port 24. Furthermore, the overflow port 24 can also maintain consistent air pressure in the first chamber 23 and the second chamber 11, allowing the soft portion 21 to move and deform normally.
[0167] Referring to Figures 1 and 5, Figures 14 and 15, in some optional embodiments, the water tank further includes a tank cover 12, which is flipped and mounted on the first tank body 1. The tank cover 12 can be flipped open and closed. When the tank cover 12 is opened, the second tank body 2 can be taken in and placed.
