Since the frequency of cleaning the dust box is higher than that of adding water to the water tank, the dust box and water tank integrated storage device with dust collection function can significantly reduce the frequency of taking out the storage device and avoid the problem of cumbersome operation.

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. In this embodiment, the water tank space half surrounds the dust box space. As shown in Figures 6-8, the first side wall 3131 constitutes a part of the partition wall 316, one end of the partition wall 316 is connected to the second side wall 314, and the other end of the partition wall 316 Connected to the approximate end of the third side wall 315 away from the second side wall 314, since the water is heavier than the dust, such setting makes the entire horizontal space of the box body have the distribution of the water tank space, thereby improving the automatic The stability of the cleaning device 100 . Wherein, the shape of the partition wall 316 is not limited, as long as the accommodating space can be divided into two parts. The partition wall 316 has a sheet-shaped irregular shape, which can ensure that the dust box space is relatively regular and has a maximum volume while ensuring that the accommodating space is divided into two parts; Auxiliary guide function guides the air flow direction, so it is easier to roll up and discharge dust by setting a partition wall of a specific shape.

The direction of the wall forms a certain angle; the third sub-dividing wall separates the first opening from the air vent, and the one-way valve assembly 340 is disposed on the first sub-dividing wall. The third sub-dividing wall, the first sub-dividing wall, the fourth sub-dividing wall, the second sub-dividing wall, the third side wall, and the second side wall are sequentially connected to enclose the dust box space. The one-way valve assembly 340 is in an open state, and the airflow entering from the one-way valve assembly 340 goes obliquely along the fourth sub-dividing wall, forming a vortex more easily and quickly, and bringing up all the dust, such as square corners. Next door is better.

The one-way valve assembly 340 is arranged on the first side wall of the cutaway space, and when the one-way valve assembly is in the closed state, the cutaway space and the dust box space are isolated from each other; When the one-way valve assembly is switched from the closed state to the open state, the cutaway space and the dust box space communicate with each other. The external force is, for example, the suction force generated by the first blower 160 of the automatic cleaning device 100 and/or the second blower 223 in the dust collection and charging pile 200 when they are in working state. The threshold is the critical value of the external force that needs to be provided when the one-way valve assembly 340 is switched from the closed state to the open state. By setting the one-way valve assembly 340 , it is possible to control the communication state and communication amount between the cutaway space and the dust box space, that is, the air intake amount.

In some embodiments, the power of the first fan 160 of the automatic cleaning device 100 is significantly smaller than the power of the second fan 223 in the suction dust collection charging pile 200, that is, the suction generated by the first fan 160 is significantly smaller than that of the second fan 223 when it is working. suction force generated. Specifically, when the automatic cleaning device 100 performs the cleaning operation, that is, when the automatic cleaning device 100 is in the cleaning mode, the suction generated by the first fan 160 is less than the threshold, and the one-way valve assembly 340 is in a closed state. Under the action of the airflow generated by 160 , the garbage enters the frame 112 through the vent 1121 , and then is collected into the dust box space 3121 of the automatic cleaning device 100 . When the automatic cleaning device 100 returns to the dust collection charging pile 200 to dock with the dust collection charging pile 200, and collects the garbage in the dust box space 3121 into the dust collection container 222 in the dust collection charging pile 200, specifically, the automatic cleaning device 100 Move to the base 210 of the dust collection charging pile along the first direction X, so that the dust outlet of the automatic cleaning device 100, that is, the vent 1121 is sealed and docked with the dust suction port 211 of the dust collection charging pile 200, and the second dust collection pile in the dust collection pile The blower 223 is in the working state. Under the action of the suction generated by the second blower 223, the one-way valve assembly 340 switches from the closed state to the open state. At this time, the one-way valve assembly 340 forms an air inlet on the dust box space 3121 , that is, the air inlet of the entire airflow channel, so that the airflow transfers the dust and other garbage in the dust box space 3121 to the dust collection container 222 in the dust collection charging pile 200 .

In some embodiments, when the automatic cleaning device 100 is located on the dust collection charging pile base 210 of the dust collection charging pile 200, the garbage in the dust box space 3121 is collected into the dust collection container 222 in the dust collection charging pile 200, that is When the automatic cleaning device 100 is in the dust discharge mode, the first fan 160 in the automatic cleaning device 100 is also in the working state while the second fan 223 is working to generate strong suction, so as to avoid the strong suction generated by the second fan from causing the automatic cleaning device 100 The first blower 160 in the reverse rotation, thereby avoiding damage to the first blower 160 . At this time, the first blower and the second blower work simultaneously to generate an external force applied to the check valve assembly 340 greater than the threshold, and the check valve assembly 340 is in an open state, and the second blower with greater power The strong airflow generated by the second fan 223 carries the garbage in the dust box space 3121 to the dust collection container 222 in the dust collection charging pile 200 .
