[0046] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art can realize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0048] A water tank is arranged in a general base station to collect liquid. The air outlet of the water tank is generally connected with a fan, and through the action of the fan, a negative pressure state is formed in the inside of the water tank to drive sewage to enter the water tank from the water inlet. Due to the limitation of space, the water inlet and the air outlet are generally close to each other, and the sewage is easy to enter the fan through the air outlet, causing the water inlet of the fan to fail.

[0049] The present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings and with reference to specific embodiments:

[0050] Please refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the first aspect embodiment of the present application provides a water tank, which comprises a tank body 100 and a protection piece 200, the tank body 100 is provided with a water inlet 110 and an air outlet 120, both the water inlet 110 and the air outlet 120 are communicated with the inside of the tank body 100; the protection piece 200 is located outside the water inlet 110, and is suitable for limiting the liquid flowing from the water inlet 110 to enter the air outlet 120.

[0051] The liquid flows out of the water inlet 110 and is affected by the protective piece 200, which can limit the liquid flowing into the air suction port 120 from the water inlet 110, reduce the water inflow of the air suction port 120, and further reduce the risk of damage to the fan. The protective piece 200 can limit the activity range of the liquid, which is conducive to the liquid flowing into the water tank from the water inlet 110 quickly mixing with the liquid in the water tank, and avoiding splashing of the liquid.

[0052] The water tank can be a clean water tank, a sewage tank, or a tank containing other liquids. The embodiment of the present application takes the sewage tank of the base station as an example, and the sewage enters the water tank from the water inlet 110.

[0053] The protective piece 200 can be at least partially arranged between the air suction port 120 and the water inlet 110, which can prevent the sewage flowing into the fan through the air suction port 120 from the water inlet 110, reduce the risk of damage to the fan, and thus improve the service life of the device. The protective piece 200 can be partially located between the air suction port 120 and the water inlet 110, or the protective piece 200 can be entirely located between the air suction port 120 and the water inlet 110, as long as the protective piece 200 can isolate the air suction port 120 and the water inlet 110.

[0054] The protective piece 200 can also guide the sewage flowing into the air suction port 120 from the water inlet 110 to a direction away from the air suction port 120, thereby limiting the sewage flowing into the air suction port 120 from the water inlet 110 and avoiding water entering the fan. The protective piece 200 can be at least partially arranged on the water inlet 110 to limit the activity range of the sewage sprayed from the water inlet 110 and avoid splashing of the sewage to the air suction port 120. For example, the protective piece 200 can be an inclined cover arranged on the water inlet 110 to guide the sewage to a side away from the air suction port 120.

[0055] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the protective piece 200 is located outside the water inlet 110 and can specifically guide and isolate the sewage flowing into the water inlet 110, which can effectively prevent the sewage from entering the air suction port 120 and thus avoid water entering the fan.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 1, in some embodiments, along a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the tank 100, the orthographic projection of the protective piece 200 on the bottom surface of the tank 100 at least partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the water inlet 110 on the bottom surface of the tank 100, so as to reduce the risk of the sewage sprayed from the water inlet 110 directly splashing to the air suction port 120. Generally, the sewage is sprayed from bottom to top, and the above arrangement can shield the sewage flowing into the water inlet 110 by the protective piece 200, thereby reducing splashing of the sewage.

[0057] Referring to FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the box 100 further comprises a box cover 300, which is arranged on the box 100. The box cover 300 is beneficial to form a sealed environment in the box 100. The box 100 can be cleaned by opening the box cover 300. The projection of the protective member 200 on the bottom surface of the box 100 at least partially overlaps the projection of the water inlet 110 on the bottom surface of the box 100, which can reduce the risk of splashing of the sewage flowing into the water inlet 110, and avoid the box cover 300 from being impacted by the sewage and bouncing away or being contaminated.

[0058] Referring to FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the projection of the water inlet 110 on the bottom surface of the box 100 is located in the projection of the protective member 200 on the bottom surface of the box 100 in the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the box 100. The sewage flowing into the water inlet 110 directly acts on the protective member 200, which prevents the sewage from splashing. The box cover 300 is generally arranged on the top of the water tank. If the sewage directly sprays out of the water inlet 110, it is easy to splash on the box cover 300 and condense on the box cover 300 to drop into the air outlet 120. The projection of the protective member 200 on the bottom surface of the box 100 completely covers the projection of the water inlet 110 on the bottom surface of the box 100, which can prevent the sewage from splashing and contaminating the box cover 300, increase the workload of cleaning the water tank, and avoid the sewage from splashing on the box cover 300 and then falling back into the air outlet 120, causing damage to the fan.

[0059] Referring to FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the protective member 200 is at least partially arc-shaped. The arc-shaped surface of the protective member 200 can reduce the resistance of the sewage flow, which is beneficial to guide the flow of the sewage and avoid the sewage from stagnating on the protective member 200. The arc-shaped design improves the structural strength of the protective member 200 and improves the stability of the protective member 200.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the protective member 200 comprises a top cover 210, and the projection of the top cover 210 on the bottom surface of the box 100 at least partially overlaps the projection of the water inlet 110 on the bottom surface of the box 100, which can prevent the sewage flowing into the water inlet 110 from splashing. The protective member 200 further comprises a side portion 220, and the top cover 210 and the side portion 220 are connected. The projection of the side portion 220 on the bottom surface of the box 100 at least partially does not overlap the projection of the water inlet 110 on the bottom surface of the box 100. The side portion 220 can block the liquid flowing into the air outlet 120 from the water inlet 110, which reduces the risk of damage to the fan caused by the sewage flowing into the air outlet 120 from the water inlet 110.

[0061] Referring to FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the side portion 220 is at least partially located between the air outlet 120 and the water inlet 110 to isolate the air outlet 120 and the water inlet 110, which reduces the risk of damage to the fan caused by the sewage flowing into the air outlet 120 from the water inlet 110.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the side portion 220 can be arc-shaped, which is more conducive to guiding the flow direction of the sewage and reducing the amount of sewage retained on the protection member 200.

[0063] Referring to FIG. 4, in some embodiments, at least a portion of the top cover 210 is located on the side of the water inlet 110 away from the air outlet 120, so as to guide the sewage flowing away from the air outlet 120, thereby preventing the sewage flowing from the water inlet 110 from entering the air outlet 120.

[0064] In some embodiments, the end of the top cover 210 away from the air outlet 120 can be downwardly inclined, so that the sewage splashed onto the top cover 210 flows to the end of the top cover 210 away from the air outlet 120, so as to further limit the sewage flowing from the water inlet 110 from entering the air outlet 120. Downwardly inclined refers to the direction of the top cover 210 inclined toward the bottom of the water tank.

[0065] Referring to FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the top cover 210 can be arc-shaped, which is more conducive to guiding the flow direction of the sewage and reducing the amount of sewage retained on the top cover 210.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the inside of the tank 100 forms a mounting step 130, and the protection member 200 is arranged on the mounting step 130. The mounting step 130 can provide a stable mounting environment for the protection member 200, so as to avoid the protection member 200 from being impacted by the sewage and falling off.

[0067] Referring to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the water inlet 110 is arranged on the mounting step 130, which facilitates the processing of the water inlet 110. The top cover 210 extends along the direction away from the air outlet 120, so that the protection member 200 and the mounting step 130 form a water outlet. Therefore, the sewage flowing from the water inlet 110 flows out of the water outlet in the direction away from the air outlet 120. The top cover 210 can extend out of the mounting step 130, so that the water outlet is arranged toward the bottom of the water tank, which is conducive to guiding the flow direction of the sewage and making the sewage flowing from the water inlet 110 mix with the sewage in the water tank.

[0068] Referring to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the height of the water inlet 110 is less than the height of the air outlet 120. By means of the height difference between the water inlet 110 and the air outlet 120, the risk of the sewage flowing from the water inlet 110 splashing to the air outlet 120 can be reduced.

[0069] Please refer to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the boss 140 is formed on the installation step 130, and the suction port 120 is arranged on the boss 140. The boss 140 can increase the height of the suction port 120, reduce the risk of sewage splashing into the suction port 120 from the water inlet 110, and prevent the sewage in the box 100 from splashing into the suction port 120 under the action of external force, so as to ensure that the environment around the suction port 120 is dry, and the fan is prevented from being damaged by moisture.

[0070] Please refer to FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the water tank further comprises a flow guide pipe 400, which is in communication with the water inlet 110 through the protective piece 200, so as to guide the flow path of the sewage flowing into the water inlet 110, so that the sewage flowing into the water inlet 110 can be smoothly mixed with the water in the water tank, and the splashing of the sewage is reduced. The inlet end of the flow guide pipe 400 can be in communication with the water outlet.

[0071] Please refer to FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the flow guide pipe 400 is located on the side of the protective piece 200 away from the suction port 120, which can guide the sewage to the side away from the suction port 120, and reduce the risk of water entering the suction port 120.

[0072] Please refer to FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the flow guide pipe 400 is arranged horizontally, which can make full use of the horizontal space of the water tank, so that the flow of the sewage after entering the water inlet 110 is relatively smooth; the length of the flow guide pipe 400 can be appropriately extended by using the horizontal space of the water tank, so that the water flow is more stable. If the flow guide pipe 400 is arranged vertically, the water outlet end of the flow guide pipe 400 faces the box cover 300, and the sewage flowing out of the flow guide pipe 400 is easy to spray on the box cover 300; if the flow guide pipe 400 is arranged vertically, the water outlet end of the flow guide pipe 400 faces the bottom of the water tank, and the sewage in the water tank is easy to flood the water outlet end of the flow guide pipe 400 after rising, resulting in backflow of the sewage.

[0073] In some embodiments, the flow guide pipe 400 can be a square pipe or a circular pipe, and the specific structure of the flow guide pipe 400 is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0074] Please refer to FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the protective piece 200 is a drainage pipe, and the water inlet end of the protective piece 200 is in communication with the water inlet 110. The sewage flowing into the water inlet 110 can be directly injected into the water tank through the pipe body, and the sewage can be guided to the side away from the suction port 120 by the guiding effect of the protective piece 200, so as to prevent water from entering the suction port 120. The drainage pipe can be a square pipe or a circular pipe, and the specific structure of the pipe body is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0075] Please refer to FIG. 8, in some embodiments, the protection piece 200 is a protection wall 230, which is arranged between the water inlet 110 and the air outlet 120. The protection wall 230 can isolate the air outlet 120 and the water inlet 110, so as to limit the sewage splashing from the water inlet 110 to the air outlet 120. The protection piece 200 can be a partition plate, which is arranged between the air outlet 120 and the water inlet 110 to isolate the air outlet 120 and the water inlet 110, and reduce the risk of sewage entering the air outlet 120.

[0076] Please refer to FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the clamping position of the protection piece 200 is formed between the box cover 300 and the installation step 130. After the box cover 300 is closed, the box cover 300 can abut against the protection piece 200, so as to reduce the displacement of the protection piece 200 during the working process, and increase the reliability of the protection piece 200.

[0077] Please refer to FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the protection piece 200 can abut against the side surface of the boss 140, so as to strengthen the stability of the protection piece 200 and reduce the shaking of the protection piece 200 during the working process.

[0078] Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 11, in some embodiments, the first inclined surface 240 can be arranged on the protection piece 200, and the second inclined surface 131 can be arranged on the edge of the installation step 130. The first inclined surface 240 abuts against the second inclined surface 131, so as to ensure that the protection piece 200 is installed in place and improve the installation efficiency.

[0079] In some embodiments, one of the protection piece 200 and the installation step 130 is provided with a positioning hole 260, and the other is provided with a positioning column 133. The positioning column 133 is arranged in the inside of the positioning hole 260, so as to further strengthen the positioning effect and avoid the displacement of the protection piece 200 during the use. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 12, the positioning hole 260 is arranged on the protection piece 200, and the positioning column 133 is arranged on the installation step 130.

[0080] Please refer to FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the limiting part 310 is arranged on the box cover 300. When the box cover 300 is closed on the box body 100, the limiting part 310 abuts against the protection piece 200. The limiting part 310 plays a supporting and fixing role on the protection piece 200, so as to prevent the protection piece 200 from loosening during the working process. The limiting part 310 can be arc-shaped, so as to fit the surface of the protection piece 200 and ensure the fixing effect.

[0081] Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 11, in some embodiments, the protection piece 200 is clamped and connected with the box body 100, so as to facilitate the dismounting of the protection piece 200 for cleaning.

[0082] In some embodiments, one of the mounting step 130 and the shield 200 is provided with the buckle 132, and the other is provided with the slot 250.
