Abstract

Cleaning equipment includesa water divider structure comprisinga pressuresource connected to a water supply tank, a water divider provided with a first distribution channel and a second distribution channel, wherein the first and second distribution channels both are connected with the pressuresource, anda first unidirectional valve connecting between the pressuresource and the water divider, wherein the first unidirectional valve connects through the pressuresource and the water divider under pressure formed when the pressuresource is activated. When there is residual water in the pipeline between the first unidirectional valve and the water divider structure, the first unidirectionalvalve can prevent the water in the water supply tank from being transported downstream. At this time, there is water in the pipeline downstream of the first unidirectionalvalve. One end is closed, and one end of the water divider structure is connected to the outside.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A water divider structure, comprising:
 a pressure source connected to a water supply tank;   a water divider provided with a first distribution channel and a second distribution channel, wherein the first distribution channel and the second distribution channel both are connected with the pressure source; and   a first unidirectional valve connected between the pressure source and the water divider, wherein the first unidirectional valve connects through the pressure source and the water divider under a pressure formed when the pressure source is activated.   
     
     
         2 . The water divider structure according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 A second unidirectional valve configured on at least one of the first distribution channel or the second distribution channel, wherein the second unidirectional valve connects through the first distribution channel and the second distribution channel under the pressure formed when the pressure source is activated.   
     
     
         3 . The water divider structure according to  claim 2 , wherein:
 a main pipe section and a flexible pipe section are defined in at least one of the first unidirectional valve or the second unidirectional valve, an inner cavity of the flexible pipe section communicates with an inner cavity of the main pipe section, inner pipe walls on opposite sides of the flexible pipe section are abutted and closed with each other, and the inner pipe walls on opposite sides of the flexible pipe section are able to be separated at the pressure formed when the pressure source is activated; or   at least one of the first unidirectional valve or the second unidirectional valve is an electronic valve, and the electronic valve is connected to the pressure source.   
     
     
         4 . A water tank structure, comprising:
 a water supply tank having a tank top section and a tank bottom section, wherein the tank bottom section of the water supply tank is provided with a water outlet and an air inlet, the water supply tank has a water storage cavity, the water storage cavity of the water supply tank is divided into at least two inner cavity sections from a direction of the tank top section of the water supply tank to the tank bottom section of the water supply tank, across-sectional area of a plurality of the at least two inner cavity sections is gradually reduced, and the cross-sectional area is perpendicular to a direction from the tank top section of the water supply tank to the tank bottom section of the water supply tank; and   a water divider connected with the water supply tank by the water outlet, wherein a pressure source used to generate negative pressure and output clean water in the water supply tank through the water outlet and the water divider.   
     
     
         5 . The water tank structure of  claim 4 , further comprising at least one of:
 a unidirectional valve configured on the air inlet, wherein the unidirectional valve allows air to enter into the water storage cavity along the air inlet; or   a first filter, wherein the first filter is configured at the water outlet.   
     
     
         6 . The water tank structure of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 an elastic snap structure provided on the water supply tank, wherein the water supply tank is configured to be detachably mounted on a main body of a cleaning equipment through the elastic snap structure.   
     
     
         7 . A cleaning equipment, comprising:
 a main body comprising a machine body and a base, wherein the base is located at a bottom of the machine body, an accommodation cavity is defined by the base, a roller brush is disposed in the accommodation cavity, a driver is provided on the main body, and the driver is connected with the roller brush;   a wastewater tank configured on the main body, wherein the wastewater tank connects through the accommodation cavity of the base, and an air outlet of the wastewater tank is also provided with a filter assembly;   a suction source configured on the main body, wherein the suction source generates negative pressure for sucking dirt in the accommodation cavity into the wastewater tank; and   a water tank structure comprising a water supply tank and a first distribution channel, wherein the water supply tank of the water tank structure is assembled on the main body, the first distribution channel communicates with the accommodation cavity of the base, the accommodation cavity is provided with a spray port connected with the first distribution channel, and an included angle between an injection direction of the spray port and a radial centerline of the roller brush is an acute angle.   
     
     
         8 . The cleaning equipment according to  claim 7 , wherein the water tank structure further comprises a second distribution channel diverting flow to an outside of the main body. 
     
     
         9 . The cleaning equipment according to  claim 7 , further comprising at least one of:
 a roller brush cover, wherein the roller brush cover is assembled on the base, the roller brush cover and the base form the accommodation cavity, and an inner wall of the roller brush cover fits with at least a part of bristles of the rolling brush; or   a water leakage channel connected to a water storage cavity, wherein an inlet of the water leakage channel is located at a lowest position of the water storage cavity.   
     
     
         10 . The cleaning equipment according to  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a base station, wherein the base station is detachably assembled with the base, the base station is provided with a first charging contact, and the first charging contact is configured to be used for connecting to an external power supply;   a power supply configured on the main body, wherein the power supply is a rechargeable power supply, a second charging contact is provided on the base, the second charging contact is electrically connected to the power supply, and the first charging contact and the second charging contact are configured to be electrically connectable in a state in which the base is assembled to the base station to charge the power supply with the external power supply; and   a control panel electrically connected at least to the power supply and the suction source for cooperation with the wastewater tank, wherein the control panel is provided with a self-cleaning function button, the self-cleaning function button is electrically connected to the control panel, the self-cleaning function button is configured to start a self-cleaning working mode, and in the self-cleaning working mode, the pressure source is controlled to start to add water to the water supply tank and the roller brush, the roller brush rotates to evenly disperse the water on a surface of the roller brush, and the suction source is controlled to start to suck sewage on the surface of the roller brush into the wastewater tank.
