In particular embodiments, the first opening 24 is configured to include a capillary cartridge through-hole arrangement through which the water tank 100 dispenses the stored liquid in the receiving space outwardly. In other embodiments, the first opening 24 may be a flexible member with a through hole or capillary hole or a capillary material extending out of the water tank 100, and the flexible member is detachably mounted to the bottom wall of the water tank 100.
Specifically, the body portion of the water tank 100 includes at least one pressure-receiving portion 26, and the pressure-receiving portion 26 can directly or indirectly pressurize the accommodating space under an external force; the pressure receiving portion 26 can directly or indirectly decompress the accommodating space when the external force is removed. In this embodiment, when the wiping unit is abutted against the water tank, the wiping unit abuts against the pressure receiving portion 26, and during the operation of the wiping unit, the wiping unit can press the pressure receiving portion 26, and the pressure receiving portion 26 can directly or indirectly regulate the pressure in the accommodating space under the pressing force.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the pressure receiving portion 26 is configured as a flexible membrane protruding from the bottom of the water tank 100, the inner side of the flexible membrane is directly connected to the accommodating space of the water tank, and the pressure receiving portion directly changes the pressure in the accommodating space when the flexible membrane is deformed or restored. In this embodiment, in the actual use of the water tank structure, the wiping component mounted at the bottom of the water tank 100 directly cleans the working surface, and when the wiping component moves relative to the working surface, the wiping component presses the flexible drum membrane, so as to pressurize the accommodating space of the water tank 100, and simultaneously, the liquid in the water tank 100 overflows out of the water tank 100 through the first opening 24 and is distributed to the wiping component; when the pressing force of the wiper assembly to the pressed portion 26 is weakened, the flexible membrane is restored from the deformation, thereby decompressing the receiving space of the tank 100, and simultaneously, the air outside the tank 100 enters the tank 100 through the aforementioned first opening 24 to balance the pressure inside the tank 100.
In a preferred embodiment, the volume of liquid dispensed as a result of one activation of the pressure receiving portion 26 is between 0.1 and 1 ml. Also, in a preferred embodiment, when the accommodating space of the water tank 100 stores liquid, the liquid therein covers the first opening 24, and the accommodating space of the water tank 100 is sealed, that is, no other air holes are added to the water tank 100 except for the first opening 24, so as to enhance the pressure regulating effect of the pressure receiving part 26 on the accommodating space. Of course, the pressure receiving portion 26 may be provided in plural for enhancing the regulating effect, and similarly, the first opening 24 may be provided in plural for enhancing the tank outlet effect.
