Abstract

An accommodating apparatus and an automatic cleaning device using the accommodating apparatus. The accommodating apparatus includes: a box body provided with an accommodating space, a partition wall is provided in the accommodating space to divide the accommodating space into a dust box space and a water tank space; a top cover snap-fitted onto the box body and configured to seal the accommodating space; and a one-way valve assembly provided on a wall of the box body, the one-way valve assembly being in a closed state in response to an external acting force applied to the one-way valve assembly being not greater than a threshold, such that the dust box space is isolated from the outside at a position where the one-way valve assembly is arranged, and the one-way valve assembly being switched to an open state in response to the external acting force applied thereto being greater than the threshold.

         2 . The accommodating appliance according to  claim 1 , wherein a bottom of the box body is provided with an open corner-missing space, a first side wall of the corner-missing space is adjacent to the dust box space, and the one-way valve assembly is arranged on the first side wall, the corner-missing space and the dust box space are isolated from each other in response to that the one-way valve assembly is in the closed state; and the corner-missing space and the dust box space are communicated with each other in response to that the one-way valve assembly is switched from the closed state to the open state. 
     
     
         3 . The accommodating appliance according to  claim 2 , wherein the one-way valve assembly comprises:
 a dust collection air opening formed on the first side wall;   a valve component configured to abut against an edge of the dust collection air opening to close the dust collection air opening in response to the one-way valve assembly being in the closed state, and configured to separate from at least part of the edge of the dust collection air opening in response to the one-way valve assembly being in the open state, so that an external space is capable of entering the dust box space through the dust collection air opening; and   an elastic component connected to the valve component and configured to abut the valve component at a position of closing the dust collection air opening.   
     
     
         4 . The accommodating appliance according to  claim 2 , wherein the partition wall extends from a bottom wall of the box body towards the top cover, and the dust box space and the water tank space are arranged side by side in a direction parallel to the bottom wall of the box body. 
     
     
         5 . The accommodating appliance according to  claim 4 , wherein the water tank space semi-surrounds the dust box space. 
     
     
         6 . The accommodating appliance according to  claim 2 , wherein a second side wall of the box body is provided with a first opening, and in response to the automatic cleaning device being in a cleaning operation, garbage enters the dust box space through the first opening; and in response to the automatic cleaning device being in a dust collection operation, the garbage moves out of the dust box space from the dust box through the first opening, and the second side wall is adjacent to the first side wall. 
     
     
         7 . The accommodating appliance according to  claim 6 , wherein a third side wall of the box body is provided with a filter mesh mounting opening, the accommodating appliance further comprises a filter mesh assembly, the filter mesh assembly is detachably arranged at the filter mesh mounting opening, the third side wall is adjacent to the second side wall, and the first side wall is arranged opposite to the third side wall. 
     
     
         8 . The accommodating appliance according to  claim 7 , wherein the first side wall forms part of the partition wall, one end portion of the partition wall is connected to the second side wall, and the other end portion of the partition wall is connected to an approximate end portion of the third side wall distal from the second side wall. 
     
     
         9 . The accommodating appliance according to  claim 2 , wherein the corner-missing space is enclosed by the first side wall, a fourth side wall and a top wall of the corner-missing space, and the corner-missing space is adjacent to the water tank space through the fourth side wall and the top wall. 
     
     
         10 . The accommodating appliance according to  claim 9 , wherein the top wall is provided with a water outlet assembly configured to enable water stored in the water tank space to flow out of the accommodating appliance. 
     
     
         11 . The accommodating appliance according to  claim 2 , wherein a water injection port is provided on the top cover, an orthogonal projection of the water tank space on the top cover covers the water injection port, and the accommodating appliance further comprises a water injection plug detachably mounted at the water injection port of the top cover and configured to seal the water injection port. 
     
     
         12 . The accommodating appliance according to  claim 11 , further comprising: a water tank filter mesh detachably mounted on one side of the top cover facing the box body and located at the water injection port, wherein an orthogonal projection of the water tank filter mesh on the top cover covers the water injection port. 
     
     
         13 . An automatic cleaning device, comprising an accommodating appliance, wherein the accommodating appliance comprises:
 a box body having an accommodating space, wherein a partition wall is arranged in the accommodating space to divide the accommodating space into a dust box space and a water tank space;   a top cover buckled on the box body and configured to close the accommodating space; and   a one-way valve assembly arranged on a wall of the box body, wherein the one-way valve assembly is in a closed state in response to an external acting force applied to the one-way valve assembly being not greater than a threshold value, so that the dust box space is isolated from outside at a position where the one-way valve assembly is arranged; and in response to the external acting force applied to the one-way valve assembly being greater than the threshold value, the one-way valve assembly is switched from the closed state to an open state, so that the dust box space is communicated with the outside at the position where the one-way valve assembly is arranged.
