         4 . The drainer for a floor cleaning equipment according to  claim 1 , further comprising a water guiding member capable of guiding water to flow from one side to another at an inner bottom face of the cavity; each of the plurality of absorbent cores in contact with the water guiding member, so that water flowing onto the water guiding member is guided to the plurality of absorbent cores. 
     
     
         5 . The drainer for a floor cleaning equipment according to  claim 4 , wherein the water guiding member and the plurality of absorbent cores are integrally formed. 
     
     
         6 . The drainer for a floor cleaning equipment according to  claim 1 , further comprising a partition located above the plurality of absorbent cores inside the cavity, the partition having a plurality of through holes via which water flowing into the cavity flows to the plurality of absorbent cores below. 
     
     
         7 . The drainer for a floor cleaning equipment according to  claim 6 , wherein an upper surface of the partition is an oblique face that inclines downwards from near the water inlet to away from the water inlet. 
     
     
         8 . The drainer for a floor cleaning equipment according to  claim 4 , further an inner wall face of the housing comprises at least one positioning pin on which the water guiding member is sleeved. 
     
     
         9 . The drainer for a floor cleaning equipment according to  claim 4 , wherein an inner wall face of the housing comprises a plurality of plots located above the plurality of absorbent cores, each of the plurality of plots facing one water discharge hole, the plurality of absorbent cores tightly pressed inside the water discharge holes by the plurality of plots. 
     
     
         10 . A wet mopping device, comprising:
 a base plate for mounting a mop cloth; and   a water supply tank located above the base plate for supplying water to the mop cloth, a bottom of the water supply tank comprising a water outlet;   wherein, the base plate comprises a drainer according to  claim 1 , the water inlet is in communication with the water outlet, and the housing of the drainer is at least partially separable from the base plate.   
     
     
         11 . The wet mopping device according to  claim 10 , wherein the base plate comprises a venting pipe connecting the cavity of the drainer with the water supply tank, the venting pipe protruding from an upper surface of the base plate and up to above a maximum fill level of water in the water supply tank, the housing of the drainer comprising a connecting port connected with the venting pipe. 
     
     
         12 . The wet mopping device according to  claim 10 , wherein, an upper half of the housing is integrally formed with the base plate, and a lower half of the housing is detachably connected to the upper half. 
     
     
         13 . The wet mopping device according to  claim 12 , wherein, the base plate further comprises a protrusion protruding inside the cavity of the drainer. 
     
     
         14 . The wet mopping device according to  claim 10 , wherein the housing of the drainer is integrally separable from the base plate. 
     
     
         15 . The wet mopping device according to  claim 14 , wherein the base plate further comprises a groove for receiving the housing. 
     
     
         16 .
