The bottom of the elastic protective cover is concave inside, the liquid inside it is collected to both sides, and the cutting slit is arranged in the concavity, which is conducive to the leakage to be stored in an inner cavity of the elastic protective cover.
Further, the floor cleaning device of the disclosure is provided with the separating wall between the first housing cavity and the accommodating cavity of the rear housing, and the first through hole and the second through hole are arranged on the separating wall, so that the first through hole may be used to communicate the first housing cavity with the accommodating cavity, and the second through hole may be used to communicate the accommodating cavity with the sewage recovery passage simultaneously. Then exhaust gas discharged by the driving device can enter the accommodating cavity through the first through hole, then enter the sewage recovery passage through the second through hole for filtration, and then discharged, which not only solves a problem of air pollution, but also air blown out by the driving device may increase a suction power of the floor cleaning device, and achieves a better cleaning effect.
Further, the dirty tank of the disclosure is provided with the first mounting block and the second mounting block on the connecting frame, and the first matching block and the second matching block are correspondingly arranged on the filter plate simultaneously, so that the first mounting block may be clamped and matched with the first matching block first. Then the filter plate is rotated, the second matching block is buckled onto the second mounting block, and finally the filter plate is mounted to enable a top of the first mounting block to abut against the first matching block, and enable a bottom of the second matching block to abut against the second mounting block. At this time, an assembly of the filter plate and the connecting frame is realized.

In addition, it should be noted that, other structures of the floor cleaning device of the disclosure that are not described in detail may be realized by the prior art and are not described in detail here.
The floor cleaning device of the disclosure uses an extended battery in the battery assembly to improve a battery life and reduce a number of charging times of the floor cleaning device during a cleaning process. And the extended battery may be charged and discharged independently outside the floor cleaning device. When the floor cleaning device works, the battery pack may be controlled by the control system to supply power first, and then another battery pack is switched to continue to discharge when a power release of the first battery pack is completed.

The cleaning work of the floor cleaning device is not affected during its charging process, and the cleaning efficiency of the floor cleaning device is improved. And the center of gravity of the floor cleaning device of the disclosure is reasonable, and a comfort of operation is also increased.
In addition, considering that the floor cleaning device needs to use cleaning liquid, when the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid tank is used up, the box needs to be pulled out of the machine body to add the cleaning liquid, and at the moment when the box is pulled out, since the valve cannot be closed in time, residual liquid in the box will leak out and fall on the ground or the human body, which brings secondary troubles and seriously affecting user experience. Therefore, please refer to FIG. 12 to FIG. 23. The disclosure provides the clean tank and the floor cleaning device to improve a problem of liquid dripping of the floor cleaning device caused by an untimely closure of the valve at the moment when a fluid tank is pulled out.
Please refer to FIG. 12 through FIG. 15. The clean tank of the disclosure includes the fluid tank 3110 and a valve assembly 3120. An outlet 3111 is arranged on the fluid tank 3110. The valve assembly 3120 is mounted on the outlet 3111. The valve assembly 3120 includes a control structure 3121 and a leak-proof structure 3122. The control structure 3121 is mounted in the outlet 3111, and the leak-proof structure 3122 is connected with the control structure 3121. A cavity space communicated with the outlet 3111 is arranged inside the leak-proof structure 3122, and an end of the cavity space away from the control structure is provided with an opening-closing unit 312221. The clean tank may be switched between a first state and a second state. When it is in the first state, the clean tank is mounted on a flow taking device (such as on the floor cleaning device). The opening-closing unit 312221 and the control structure are opened by the flow taking device (floor cleaning device), and the fluid tank 3110 supplies fluid to the flow taking device (the brush assembly 600 of the floor cleaning device). When it is in the second state, the clean tank 300 is separated from the flow taking device, the control structure 3121 is reset, the opening-closing unit is automatically closed, and the fluid tank 3110 stops supplying fluid to the flow taking device.
Please refer to FIG. 14, FIG. 16 and FIG. 19. The control structure 3121 at least includes a valve pushing rod 31211, a spring 31212 and a sealing sleeve 31213. The valve pushing rod 31211 may slide up and down between the outlet 3111 and the cavity space of the leak-proof structure 3122. The valve pushing rod 31211 is provided with a protruding flange 312111 extending outward along the radial direction. An outer diameter of the protruding flange 312111 is greater than an inner diameter of the outlet 3111. The spring 31212 is sleeved at one end of the valve pushing rod 31211 towards the outlet 3111, and the scaling sleeve 31213 is sleeved at one end of the valve pushing rod 31211 towards the leak-proof structure 3122. In some embodiments, one end of the valve pushing rod 31211 mounting the sealing sleeve 31213 is provided with a blocking structure 312112 to prevent the sealing sleeve 31213 from falling off from the valve pushing rod 31211.
Please refer to FIG. 14 through FIG. 16 and FIG. 19. In an embodiment, the control structure 3121 further includes a pushing rod cap 31214. The pushing rod cap 31214 is inserted in the outlet 3111 of the fluid tank, and a plurality of through holes 312141 communicating the fluid tank 3110 with the cavity space of the leak-proof structure 3122 is arranged on the pushing rod cap 31214. The valve pushing rod 31211 is arranged between the pushing rod cap 31214 and the cavity space of the leak-proof structure 3122, and may be moved up and down there. Under an effect of external force, for example, a push rod is arranged on the flow taking device, this push rod holds the opening-closing unit 312221 to be opened, and enters the cavity space of the leak-proof structure 3122. The valve pushing rod 31211 is pushed into the pushing rod cap 31214, the fluid flows out from the fluid tank 3110, enters the cavity space of the leak-proof structure 3122, flows out from the opening-closing unit 312221 and enters the flow taking device. After the push rod is withdrawn, the opening-closing unit at a bottom of the cavity space is closed. In some embodiments, a central axis of the valve pushing rod 31211 is in a same straight line as a center line of the cavity space of the leak-proof structure 3122, so as to ensure that the push rod pushes the valve pushing rod 31211 to move upward after the valve pushing rod 31211 enters the cavity space from the opening-closing unit 312221.
Please refer to FIG. 14, FIG. 17 through FIG. 20. In an embodiment, the cavity space of the leak-proof structure 3122 includes a first cavity space 31223 and a second cavity space 31224 communicated with each other. The first cavity space 31223 is used for accommodating the valve pushing rod 31211, and the second cavity space 31224 is used for housing the leakage liquid. A supporting structure 31225 of the valve pushing rod 31211 is arranged between the first cavity space 31223 and the second cavity space 31224. A through hole communicating the first cavity space 31223 and the second cavity space 31224 is arranged inside the supporting structure 31225, and an inner diameter of the through hole is smaller than an outer diameter of the sealing sleeve 31213. When no external force acts on the valve pushing rod 31211, the valve pushing rod 31211 enters the first cavity space 31223 under an action of the spring, and the sealing sleeve 31213 abuts against the supporting structure 31225. In some embodiments, a supporting inclined plane 312251 is arranged at a position where the supporting structure 31225 is in contact with the sealing sleeve 31213. Under an clastic action of the spring 31212, the sealing sleeve 31213 is in an interference fit with the supporting inclined plane 312251 to form a sealing structure. When the external force pushes up the valve pushing rod 31211, the valve pushing rod 31211 drives the sealing sleeve 31213 to move upward, the sealing sleeve 31213 is separated from the supporting structure 31225, and a passage is formed here. The liquid in the fluid tank 3110 flows out from the outlet 3111 and flows downward along the passage (please refer to FIG. 20). When the external force is removed, under the clastic action of the spring 31212, the valve pushing rod 31211 quickly returns until the scaling sleeve 31214 abuts against the supporting structure 31225, and at this moment, the valve is in a closed state (please refer to FIG. 19). In some embodiments, a returning distance LI of the valve pushing rod 31211 is less than a distance L2 from the supporting structure 1225 to a bottom of the second cavity space (please refer to FIG. 20), so that the valve pushing rod 31211 has returned and the scaling sleeve 31213 forms the sealing structure with the supporting structure 31225 the before push rod of the flow taking device completely separated from the second cavity space 31224 when pulling out the fluid tank 3110. The residual liquid in the fluid tank 3110 cannot be leaked, and even if a small amount of liquid is leaked, it may be housed in the second cavity space 31224.
Please refer to FIG. 13, FIG. 17 and FIG. 18. In an embodiment, the leak-proof structure 3122 includes a bracket 31221 and an clastic protective cover 31222. A first end of the bracket 31221 is connected with the pushing rod cap 31214 and a second end of the bracket 31221 is connected with the clastic protective cover 31222. For example, the bracket 31221 is connected with the pushing rod cap 31214 by means of a stop. The elastic protective cover 31222 is fixed on the bracket 31221 by molding, and the elastic protective cover 31222 is at least partially located below the bracket 31221. A connection between the bracket 31221 and the elastic protective cover 31222 is provided with a connecting flange 312211, and the leak-proof structure 3122 is inserted in the outlet 3111 and is fixed on the outlet 3111 through a valve cover 3123. Specifically, the valve cover 3123 is provided with a step hole, a diameter of the step hole is large at a top and small at a bottom, and a diameter of an upper end is matched with an outer diameter of the outlet 3111, and a diameter of a lower end is smaller than a diameter of the connecting flange 312211. The leak-proof structure 3122 and the control structure 3121 are fixed in the outlet 3111 through a threaded connection between the valve cover 3123 and the outlet 3111. In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the connecting flange 312211 is consistent with the inner diameter of the large end of the step hole, and an outer diameter of the clastic protective cover 31222 is consistent with the inner diameter of the small end of the step hole, which may further improve a scaling performance of the leak-proof structure.
Please refer to FIG. 15 and FIG. 18. The first cavity space 31223 is arranged in the bracket 31221. The second cavity space 31224 communicated with the first cavity space 31223 is arranged inside a part of the clastic protective cover 31222 located below the bracket 31221, and the clastic protective cover 31222 is sleeved on the bracket 31221. For example, one end of the clastic protective cover 31222 connected with the bracket 31221 is provided with a step-shaped groove, and the bracket 31221 is provided with a protrusion matched with the step-shaped groove. A stop connection is realized through a matching of the groove and the protrusion. One end of the bracket 31221 connected with the elastic protective cover 31222 extends radially to an inner side of the cavity space to form the supporting structure 31225 of the valve pushing rod 31211. The opening-closing unit 312221 of the leak-proof structure is arranged at one end of the elastic protective cover 31222 away from the bracket 31221. The opening-closing unit 312221 includes a cutting slit or multiple cross cutting slits arranged on the elastic protective cover 31222, and the smaller a gap of the cutting slit, the better. For example, the clastic protective cover 31222 may be cut with a thin blade or a special cutting tool to form the cutting slit. The cutting slit may be arranged in a criss-cross structure or in other structures, and there is no restriction on a specific structure of the cutting slit. Due to clastic properties of the elastic protective cover 31222, the cutting slit may be stretched open under the action of external force and may close itself after removing the external force. A spacing is arranged between an end part of the cutting slit and an edge of the elastic protective cover, a size of the cutting slit corresponds to a size of the push rod of the flow taking device. In some embodiments, a center of one end of the elastic protective cover 31222 away from the bracket 31221 is concave to an inner side of the cavity space so that a center of the second cavity space 31224 protrudes and is spherical. The cutting slit is arranged on a spherical protrusion of the elastic protective cover 31222, and since a bottom center of the second cavity space 31224 protrudes upward, the liquid left in the second cavity space 31224 may slide down along the spherical protrusion to both sides to prevent the liquid from slipping from the cutting slit. In some embodiments, the valve pushing rod 31211, the bracket 31221 and the clastic protective cover 31222 are coaxially arranged, and the cutting slit is arranged at a center of a bottom of the clastic protective cover 31222.
In other embodiments, the opening-closing unit of the leak-proof structure may also adopt other structures, and all the structures that can be opened under the external force and can recover by themselves after the external force of the area is withdrawn can be used.

When the assembled clean tank 300 is mounted to the accommodating cavity 1210, the push rod 1211 first passes through the opening-closing unit 312221 at a bottom of the clean tank, enters the second cavity space 31224, and then enters the first cavity space 31223 to push the valve pushing rod 31211 to move upward. At this moment, the sealing sleeve 31213 and the supporting structure 31225 are in a separating state, and the valve is opened. A gap is formed inside the valve assembly 3120, and the liquid in the fluid tank 3110 enters the accommodating cavity 1210 of the frame along an arrow direction in FIG. 23, and then enters the brush assembly 600 from the accommodating cavity 1210 according to a planned waterway. When the cleaning liquid in the fluid tank 3110 is used up, the clean tank 300 needs to be pulled out from the accommodating cavity 1210 to add the cleaning liquid to the fluid tank 3110. When pulling out the clean tank 300, the push rod 1211 first comes out from the first cavity space 31223, is separated from the valve pushing rod 31211, and then comes out from the second cavity space 31224, and the opening-closing unit 312221 automatically closes. When the push rod 1211 is separated from the valve pushing rod 31211, under the elastic action of the spring 31212, the valve pushing rod 31211 will move down rapidly until the sealing sleeve 31213 is are in an interference contact with the supporting structure 31225 to form the sealing structure. The liquid in the fluid tank 3110 will not flow down under a control of the sealing structure at this moment. Even if there is a small amount of liquid flowing out, it will be stored in the second cavity space 31224, and the liquid is prevented from falling to the ground when the clean tank 300 is pulled out, which improves the user experience.
Please refer to FIG. 1. In an embodiment, the floor cleaning device further includes the dirty tank 500 and the battery assembly 200.

The clean tank of the disclosure is provided with the leak-proof structure in the valve assembly, and residual liquid in the fluid tank is stored in the cavity space of the leak-proof structure by using the opening-closing unit that can be automatically closed on the leak-proof structure, so as to prevent residual liquid from falling to the ground or human body due to a failure to close the valve in time when the fluid tank is pulled out, which improves the user experience.
Considering that the floor cleaning devices on the market mainly include semi-automatic floor cleaning devices, fully automatic floor cleaning devices and ride-on floor cleaning devices, a working principle of each is basically the same. They spray water and detergent on the ground to clean it. At the same time, a main motor can also suck garbage and sewage dragged by the roller brush into the dirty tank in the floor cleaning device again, thereby achieving an effect of cleaning the floor. However, when the main motor is exhausting, the gas with carbon powder generated by a friction of a carbon brush will be blown out of a brush, which causes the secondary pollution.
Therefore, the disclosure further provides the floor cleaning device to improve a problem that a float connecting frame and a dry-wet separation filter in the dirty tank cannot be thoroughly cleaned due to the secondary pollution caused by the gas blowing out of the roller brush with the carbon powder, and the float is easy to cause a stuck phenomenon due to a secondary accumulation of dirt.
