Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, presented in the figures, is not intended to limit the scope of the utility model, as claimed, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the utility model.

Disclosed herein is a portable water tank capable of simultaneously performing a water supply function and a water discharge function. Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a water tank 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention, where (a) is a perspective view of the water tank 3 and (b) is a plan view of the water tank 3. Fig. 2 is an exploded schematic view of the water tank 3. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the water tank 3, where (a) is a schematic view of the internal structure of the water tank 3 viewed from the direction a-a, and (B) is a sectional view of the water tank 3 viewed from the direction B-B.

The water tank 3 is used in a washing apparatus, and is mainly used for supplying clean water to the washing apparatus and receiving contaminated water discharged from the washing apparatus. As shown in fig. 1 (a), (b) and fig. 2, the tank 3 mainly includes a clean water tank 31, a dirty water tank 32, a handle 33 and a diaphragm 30.

The clean water tank 31 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape open to one side, and is hollow therein for containing clean water. The top of the clean water tank 31 is provided with a main water inlet of the water tank 3 for receiving external clean water, which can be closed by a clean water tank plug 311 when not in use. A clean water tank outlet 312 is formed at the bottom of the clean water tank 31, and clean water can be supplied to the washing apparatus through the clean water tank outlet 312. In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 (b), a check valve 312a is provided in the clean water tank outlet 312, and when the respective outlet fittings are butted against, the check valve 312a is pushed open to allow clean water to pass through the clean water tank outlet 312. Further, a flange extending outward in the circumferential direction is formed at the opening of the clean water tank 31, and the flange is brought into contact with the frame 301 of the diaphragm 30 when the flange is clamped by a handle 33 described later, which will be described later.

The waste water tank 32 is similarly formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape having one side open, and is hollow therein for containing waste water. A main outlet of the tank 3 is opened near the bottom on a wall surface of the waste tank 32 on the opposite side of the opening, for discharging water to the outside, and the main outlet can be closed by a waste tank stopper 321 when not in use. As shown in fig. 2, a sump water inlet 322 and a sump suction opening 323 are formed at the bottom of the sump 32 in the width direction, wherein the sump water inlet 322 is used to introduce the sewage discharged from the washing apparatus into the sump 32, and the sump suction opening 323 is used to supply the air pumped by the vacuum pump or the like in the washing apparatus to form a negative pressure state in the sump 32. A sewage tank inlet pipe 322a and a sewage tank suction pipe 323a are formed inside the sewage tank 32 as shown in fig. 3 (a). The wastewater tank inlet pipe 322a is configured to extend toward the inside of the wastewater tank 32 in communication with the wastewater tank inlet port 322 and to open at a higher position inside the wastewater tank 32, whereby wastewater can be smoothly discharged from the opening of the wastewater tank inlet pipe 322a to the wastewater tank 32 without overcoming the pressure caused by the wastewater already in the tank, as compared with the case where the wastewater tank inlet pipe 322a is not provided. On the other hand, the sewage tank suction pipe 323a is configured to extend into the inside of the sewage tank 32 so as to communicate with the sewage tank suction port 323 and to open at a higher position in the inside of the sewage tank 32, whereby it is possible to prevent sewage from also being sucked out together when the sewage tank 32 is sucked. Further, a flange extending outward in the circumferential direction is formed at the opening of the dirty water tank 32, and the flange is brought into contact with the frame 301 of the diaphragm 30 when the flange is clamped by a handle 33 described later, which will be described later.

As also shown in fig. 2, 3 (a), (b), the fresh water tank 31 and the foul water tank 32 are connected by a hinge 34 at the bottom near the flange position, so that both constitute a structure that can be opened from above to put in the diaphragm 30. Further, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided inside and at the bottom of the clean water tank 31 and the foul water tank 32, respectively, whereby the strength of the clean water tank 31 and the foul water tank 32 can be increased.

In the water tank of the present invention, the clean water tank 31 and the foul water tank 32 have substantially the same shape and structure, so that a set of water tank molds having replaceable inserts can be reused when manufacturing the left and right water tanks, and only the inserts need to replace the local structures of the water tank molds according to the locally different structures when manufacturing the left and right water tanks, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process and saving the manufacturing cost.

The membrane 30 is a flexible membrane for separating the fresh water in the fresh water tank 31 from the foul water in the foul water tank 32 in the water tank 3. Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the structure of the diaphragm 30 in the water tank 3. As shown in fig. 4, the diaphragm 30 is stretched in the frame body 301, the frame body 301 is formed in a rectangular shape having substantially the same cross section as the clear water tank 31 and the waste water tank 32, the frame body 301 may be made of a material such as rubber, and grooves for fitting the flanges of the clear water tank 31 and the waste water tank 32 may be formed on both sides of the frame body 301. When the flanges of the clean water tank 31 and the foul water tank 32 are clamped to the frame body 301, the flanges of the clean water tank 31 and the foul water tank 32 are fitted into the grooves of the frame body 301, thereby forming a sealing structure between the clean water tank 31, the diaphragm 30, and the foul water tank 32. However, the housing 301 is not limited to the above configuration, and sealing rings for sealing at the time of clamping may be provided on both the front and rear sides of the housing 301.

When disposed between the clean water tank 31 and the foul water tank 32, the flexible diaphragm 30 may be deformed according to the amount of clean water and foul water on both sides. For example, when the foul water tank 32 is filled with foul water as shown in fig. 3 (b), the diaphragm 30 protrudes toward the clean water tank side, and when the clean water tank 31 is filled with clean water, the diaphragm protrudes toward the foul water tank side.

Further, an air vent 302 is opened in the upper portion of the diaphragm 3 near the upper edge of the housing 301, and the air vent 302 communicates the chamber of the clean water tank 31 with the chamber of the dirty water tank 32. In other words, the diaphragm 30 is configured to be water-tight and air-tight in the tank 3, so that the air pressure is maintained at the same level between the clean water tank 31 and the dirty water tank 32, and when the dirty water tank 32 is sucked through the dirty water tank suction port 323, the entire internal space of the tank 3 is in a negative pressure state. It should be noted that, instead of providing the diaphragm 30 with an air vent for communicating the chamber of the clean water tank 31 with the chamber of the dirty water tank 32, the clean water tank 31 may be provided with a clean water tank vent, and the clean water tank vent and the dirty water tank inlet 322 may be connected by a pipe, so that the air pressure between the clean water tank 31 and the dirty water tank 32 may be kept equal.

A handle 33 is also provided on the water tank 3, which handle 33 acts as a clamping element. As shown in fig. 2, the handle 33 is formed in a substantially "Jiong" shape having two long arms, and the two long arms of the handle 33 are formed with hems 331, respectively.

When the water tank 3 is assembled, the diaphragm 30 is placed between the clean water tank 31 and the sewage tank 32, then the clean water tank 31 and the sewage tank 32 are closed, the handles 3 are attached so that the flanges of the clean water tank 31 and the sewage tank 32 are clamped from the outside by the hems 331 of the two long arms, and the handles 33 are fixed to both sides of the tank by means of screws and screw holes opened at the tip ends of the two long arms by means of, for example, screw fastening, whereby the handles 3 clamp the clean water tank 31, the diaphragm 30, and the sewage tank 32, and the periphery of the tank is tightly sealed. In addition, a structure convenient for grasping can be formed on the upper portion of the handle 33, and the water tank can be lifted up through the handle after the water tank is assembled, so that the portability of the water tank 3 is improved, and the water tank can be conveniently mounted on or dismounted from the washing device.

According to the structure, the inner space of the water tank is separated by the diaphragm to integrally form the clean water tank and the sewage tank, and the volumes of the clean water tank and the sewage tank are reused, so that the water tank is compact in structure, small in occupied space and convenient to carry. The arrangement of the handle further improves the portability of the water tank.

In addition, the utility model also discloses a washing device with the water tank 3. Fig. 5 shows a washing apparatus having a water tank 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 6 is an exploded view of the washing apparatus shown in fig. 5.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the washing device includes a main body 1, a washing chamber 2 and a separable water tank 3, and the parts of the device are connected by a plurality of gas pipelines and/or water supply and drainage pipelines which can be provided with valve bodies, so as to realize the operations of water inlet, impeller rotation washing, water drainage, extrusion dehydration and the like.

The main body 1 includes a main body case 11, and two cavities, a washing tub installation part 12 and a water tank installation part 13, which are opened upward respectively, are formed on the main body case 11.

The washing chamber 2 is disposed in the washing chamber disposing portion 12, and includes a flexible deformable washing chamber tub 21 and a washing chamber cover 22 capable of being sealed and fastened to the washing chamber tub 21, and a closed chamber for accommodating laundry and washing water is formed inside the washing chamber 2. A washing chamber water inlet 122a for inputting clean water into the washing chamber 2 and a washing chamber water outlet 122b for discharging sewage from the washing chamber 2 are formed in the washing chamber cover 22.

The water tank 3 is arranged in the water tank installation part 13, and a clean water tank water outlet connector 131 butted with the clean water tank water outlet 312, a sewage tank water inlet connector 132 butted with the sewage tank water inlet 322, and a sewage tank air suction connector 133 butted with the sewage tank air suction opening 323 are formed at the bottom of the water tank installation part 13. When the water tank 3 is mounted in place in the tank setting part 13, the clear water tank outlet joint 131 opens the check valve 312a provided in the clear water tank outlet 312 to conduct. The waste water tank inlet joint 132 and the waste water tank suction joint 133 are also sealed against the waste water tank inlet 322 and the waste water tank suction opening 323 of the waste water tank 32, respectively. In addition, the tank installation part 13 may form a first groove on the sidewall to be fitted into the sewage tank stopper 321 of the sewage tank 32 and a second groove to be fitted into the two long arms of the handle 33 protruding outward from the tank 3, thereby restricting the tank 3 and preventing the tank from shaking during the operation of the washing apparatus.

In addition, a pumping system is also provided in the washing apparatus. The pumping system mainly comprises a vacuum pump 50, a water pump 60, and other components such as pipelines and valve bodies. Fig. 7 shows the pipe connections between the water tank 3 and the pumping system in the washing apparatus, (a) is a schematic view of the pipe connections in the washing apparatus viewed from above, and (b) is a schematic view of the pipe connections in the washing apparatus viewed from below.

As shown in fig. 7 (a), (b), the clean water tank 31 is connected to the input port of the water pump 60 through a pipeline via the clean water tank water outlet connector 131, the output port of the water pump 60 is connected to the washing chamber water inlet 122a through a pipeline, and the pump 60 pumps the clean water in the clean water tank 31 to the washing chamber 2 when operating.

The vacuum pump 50 has a vacuum pump suction port 501 and a vacuum pump outlet port 502, wherein the vacuum pump suction port 501 is connected to the waste tank suction connection 133 through a pipe. A multi-way pipeline 70 is further arranged below the water tank arrangement part 13, one port of the multi-way pipeline 70 is connected with a sewage tank water inlet joint 132 which is butted with a sewage tank water inlet, the other port is connected with a washing chamber water outlet 122b of the washing chamber 2, and an air valve 71 with an air valve air release port 711 is arranged on the third port. The air valve 71 may be a two-position two-way air valve, and since the diaphragm 30 of the water tank 3 is formed with an air vent 302 for communicating the clean water tank 31 and the dirty water tank 32, when the air valve 71 is opened, the clean water tank 31, the dirty water tank 32 and the washing chamber 2 are communicated with the atmosphere.

Before the washing starts, sufficient fresh water is first injected into the fresh water tank 31 through the main water inlet of the water tank 3. As the fresh water gradually enters the fresh water tank 31, the flexible diaphragm 30 continuously squeezes the space of the foul water tank 32.

After the water tank 3 is installed in place, the vacuum pump 50 is in a stop state, the water pump 60 works, and clean water sequentially passes through the clean water tank water outlet 312, the clean water tank water outlet joint 131 butted with the clean water tank water outlet 312, the water pump 60, the pipeline and the washing bin water inlet 122a to enter the washing bin 2. The diaphragm 30 in the water tank 3 is gradually restored as the fresh water is discharged, and air is introduced into the waste water tank 32 through the air valve 71.

When the washing apparatus performs the draining and dehydrating operations after completing the washing operation, the water pump 60 stops operating, the air valve 71 remains closed, and the vacuum pump 50 operates to pump air. The flexible tub 21 contracts and deforms due to the negative pressure, and the sewage is drawn into the sewage tank 32 through the tub outlet 122b, the multi-way pipe 70, the sewage tank inlet joint 132, and the sewage tank inlet 322. After the sewage in the washing chamber 2 is discharged, the vacuum pump 50 continues to work, and the flexible washing chamber 21 is further deformed by the negative pressure to squeeze the clothes for dehydration.

After the washing is completed, the water pump 60 and the vacuum pump 50 are stopped, the air valve 71 is opened, the washing tub 2, the clean water tank 31, and the dirty water tank 32 are communicated with the atmosphere, the air pressure is restored, and the washing tub 21 is gradually restored to its shape.

According to the structure, the deformable flexible washing bin barrel is compressed and deformed during vacuum suction, internal drainage is realized, and clothes are squeezed for dehydration. Through adopting the water tank to supply water and drain, washing device can set up in near not having external water sources such as tap and drainage structures such as sewer pipe to the application scene of washing device has been expanded by a wide margin.

It should be noted that the above is only an example of the washing device, the washing device is not limited to the above form, and the water tank 3 is not limited to be disposed in the washing device, as long as the water tank is connected with the washing chamber and the pumping system of the washing device through a pipeline.
