Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application 202323279650.8, filed on Nov. 30, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to the field of toilet cleaning technologies, in particular to a dissolver for a cleaning tablet in a water tank of a toilet. BACKGROUND The cleaning tablet in a water tank of a toilet is a cleaning tablet for cleaning the interiors of the toilet and the water tank. Generally, the cleaning tablet is directly put into the water tank for use. The cleaning tablet will be continuously dissolved after being put into the water tank until it is completely dissolved, thereby shortening the usage time. If the toilet is not used for a long time, the solubility of a cleaning agent in the water tank will be increased, such that a water piece in the water tank is easily damaged. Moreover, the cleaning tablet easily flows back into a domestic water pipeline from an anti-siphon gap of a water inlet valve, resulting in pollution of domestic water. A distributor system for cleaning a toilet and a detachable ink cartridge are disclosed in the patent No. EP1466056B1. In this patent, a distributor system for placing a cleaning tablet is provided. The distributor system is connected to a water replenishing tube of a water inlet valve and an overflow tube through pipelines. When the water inlet valve replenishes water for the toilet, the water flows into the distributor system from the water replenishing tube to dissolve the cleaning tablet, and the water after the cleaning tablet is dissolved flows into a trap of the toilet from the overflow tube to replenish the water. According to the distributor system, the cleaning tablet is dissolved and consumed only when the water inlet valve replenishes the water, thereby solving the problems that the cleaning tablet has a short usage time and easily flows back through an anti-siphon gap. However, the distributor system has the following defects: 1. The distributor system is hung on the side wall of a water tank through a hook type hanging bracket which extends from the water tank to the outer wall of the water tank, such that a lid of the water tank is difficult to close tightly to affect the sealing performance of the water tank, and is inconvenient and laborious to mount.2. In the distributor system, a barrel apparatus for storing the cleaning tablet is cylindrical. Because a plurality of water collector structures are arranged inside the distributor system, the size of the barrel apparatus is limited. A barrel-shaped space inside the barrel apparatus has small diameter, thus limiting the shape and size of the cleaning tablet that can be stored. Generally, all cleaning tablets commonly known as “Smurfs” on the market cannot be put into the barrel apparatus which can only be suitable for cleaning tablets matched therewith, resulting in poor applicability and incapability of meeting the requirements of more customers.3. The distributor system has a complex structure and high cost, and requires a long pipeline to be connected to the water inlet valve and the overflow tube, thus occupying a large space. SUMMARY An objective of the present disclosure is to provide a dissolver for a cleaning tablet in a water tank of a toilet, which is mounted on a water piece inside the water tank without affecting the closing tightness of a tank lid, and is suitable for cleaning tablets with various sizes and shapes, thereby having high applicability, a simple structure, and low cost. To achieve the above objective, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solution: a dissolver for a cleaning tablet in a water tank of a toilet includes a dissolver body arranged on a water piece inside the water tank of the toilet, where a dissolving cavity for storing and dissolving the cleaning tablet is arranged inside the dissolver body; the dissolver body is further provided with a water inlet and a water outlet which communicate with the dissolving cavity; the water inlet is connected to a water replenishing tube of a water inlet valve; the water outlet is connected to an overflow tube of a water outlet valve; and when the water inlet valve replenishes water, the water in the water replenishing tube flows into the dissolving cavity from the water inlet to dissolve the cleaning tablet, and the water after the cleaning tablet is dissolved flows into the overflow tube from the water outlet to replenish the water for the toilet. Further, the dissolver body is hung on the overflow tube; the water outlet communicates with the overflow tube; and the water inlet is connected to the water replenishing tube of the water inlet valve through a pipeline. Further, an arc-shaped groove matched with a side wall of the overflow tube is provided in a bottom of a side wall of the dissolver body; the dissolver body is hung at a top of the overflow tube through matching between the arc-shaped gr
