Wherein, the blocking mechanism 61 is arranged on the inner wall of the clean water tank 6 opposite to the water filling port 62, and a preset distance is reserved between the blocking mechanism 61 and the water filling port 62. In a specific implementation process, the preset distance may be set according to actual requirements, and this embodiment is not limited in this second embodiment.

In the second embodiment, a preset distance is set between the blocking mechanism 61 and the water filling port 62. When the blocking mechanism 61 is not in contact with the water feeding pipe 31 and the valve body assembly 21 is closed, the cleaning equipment can leave the preset distance from the corresponding service station after water feeding is finished, the effect that residual water in the water feeding pipe 31 completely falls into the clean water tank 6 is enough, and the phenomenon that water leaks to the ground is prevented.

The elastic member 612 may include, but is not limited to, a spring or a shock pad. The spring may be a tension spring or a compression spring, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the blocking member 611 prevents the water feed pipe 31 from exerting a destructive force on the clean water tank 6 in the process of extending into the clean water tank 6. When the elastic member 612 contacts the blocking member 611 in the process that the water feeding pipe 31 extends into the clean water tank 6, the impact force brought by the water feeding pipe 31 is relieved to protect the clean water tank 6, and the reliability is high.

Optionally, as shown in connection with fig. 1-4, the cleaning device may further comprise first detection means 8 for detecting whether the cleaning device is in place. Wherein the first detection means 8 may be provided on an upper wall of the table portion, and an orthographic projection of the first detection means 8 is located within an orthographic projection of the blocking mechanism 61. Illustratively, the first detecting means 8 is an object detecting sensor for detecting whether the cleaning device is in place. When the first detection device 8 detects the water filling pipe, the cleaning device is determined to be in place, and the cleaning device can stop moving at the moment so as to avoid collision of the cleaning device with the service station.

Optionally, as shown in connection with fig. 1-2, the cleaning device may further comprise second detection means for detecting whether the water level of the clean water tank 6 is such that the requirement is reached. Wherein the second detection device is arranged at the upper part of the clean water tank 6. Illustratively, the second detection device is a level sensor. When the second detection device detects that the water level of the clean water tank 6 reaches the preset water level, it indicates that the water in the clean water tank 6 has completed meeting the requirements, and at this time, the water adding pipe 31 can be stopped to add water to the clean water tank 6. For example, the preset water level may be set lower than the filler 62.

Optionally, as shown in connection with fig. 1-4, the clean water tank 6 is further provided with a guard door 63. The top of the protective door 63 is fixed above the water filling port 62, so that the phenomenon of water leakage from the water filling port 62 caused by movement and shaking of cleaning equipment after water is filled is avoided, and the leakage-proof performance is good.
