[0022] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the cleaning machine of this embodiment includes a box body 1, a door body 2 and an exhaust assembly. An opening is arranged at the front side of the box body 1, and the door body 2 is rotatably arranged at the front side of the box body 1 for opening or closing the opening. A water storage tank 11 is arranged at the bottom of the box body 1 below the opening and the door body 2, and the exhaust assembly is arranged in the door body 2, and the air inlet is connected to the inside of the box body 1, and the air outlet 31 is located at the bottom edge of the door body 2.

[0024] The present embodiment also includes a water guide box 4, which is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the door body 2 and has a water storage bin on the top for receiving condensed water at the exhaust assembly outlet 31. A guiding structure is provided at the bottom of the box body 1, which can drive the water guide box 4 to rotate when the door body 2 is open and dump the water in the water storage bin into the water storage tank 11.

[0025] The water guide box 4 includes an arc-shaped body 41 extending along the length direction of the air outlet 31. The arc-shaped top of the body 41 is open to form a water inlet 411 and the ends are connected to closed side panels 42. The arc-shaped body 41 and the closed side panels 42 at both ends together enclose a water storage bin. The closed side panels 42 are fan-shaped structures, and the tip of the fan-shaped structure is rotatably connected to the bottom of the door body 2. Under the action of gravity, the water guide box 4 always presents a water receiving trend with the water inlet 411 facing upward and the arc-shaped body 41 facing downward. With the above structure, the water guide box 4 is suspended from the top and is shaped like a tumbler as a whole, so as to prevent the accumulated water in the water guide box from leaking out.

[0026] The bottom of the exhaust assembly forms a water guide portion 32 that is bent outward along the bottom of the door body 2. The outer wall of the water guide portion 32 is provided with a rotating shaft 321. The tip of the closed side plate 42 is provided with an axial hole 421 that can be rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 321. The above structure is adopted, on the one hand, to facilitate the installation of the water guide box 4, and on the other hand, to make the outlet of the water guide portion 32 always correspond to the water receiving port 411 at the top of the water guide box 4, so as to prevent condensed water from overflowing.

[0027] When the door body 2 is closed and arranged vertically, the outlet of the water guide 32 faces the area in front of the door body 2 and is arranged corresponding to the water inlet 411. Under the action of gravity, the water guide box 4 presents a state in which the water inlet 411 faces upward and the arc-shaped body 41 is at the bottom, and an exhaust space a for the gas at the outlet of the water guide 32 to be discharged forward is formed between the front edge of the arc-shaped body 41 and the bottom of the door body 2. The above structure is adopted to ensure that the gas can be exhausted normally when the door is closed.

[0028] The guiding structure includes a first water guide bar 5, which is arranged at the front side of the bottom of the box body 1 and is located above the water storage tank 11. The first water guide bar 5 gradually extends forward from bottom to top to form a first water guide surface 51. When the door body 2 is turned outward, the upper end of the first water guide bar 5 gradually abuts against the top edge of the water guide box 4 and drives the water guide box 4 to turn forward relative to the door body 2 around the rotating shaft 321 as the door body 2 turns outward. When the door body 2 turns to a horizontal state, the upper end of the first water guide bar 5 abuts against the top edge of the water guide box 5 and drives the water guide box 4 to rotate to a tendency to tip backward. The above structure is adopted to enable the water in the water guide box 4 to automatically tip over as the door body 2 is opened.

[0029] The guiding structure also includes a second water guide bar 6 that can receive the water leaking from the first water guide bar 5 and guide it to the water storage tank 11. The second water guide bar 6 is located below the first water guide bar 5. The length of the second water guide bar 6 is less than that of the first water guide bar 5. When the door body 2 is opened, a distance is always maintained between the water guide box 4 and the second water guide bar 6. The above structure can further prevent the water from leaking out of the water guide box 4 during the dumping process, thereby improving the reliability of the transfer of accumulated water.

[0030] In this embodiment, the exhaust assembly includes an exhaust pipe 33 and a fan, both of which are arranged in the door body 2. The inner surface of the door body 2 is provided with an air vent for connecting the inner cavity of the box body 1 with the air inlet end of the upper end of the exhaust pipe 33. The fan is arranged in the exhaust pipe 33 and is used to suck moisture out of the box body 1 through the exhaust pipe. The lower end of the exhaust pipe 33 extends below the bottom edge of the door body 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, a water guide box 4 is provided at the bottom of the door body 2 to receive condensed water formed by the air outlet 31 of the exhaust component. When the door is closed, the water guide box 4 is in a water receiving state, thereby ensuring that condensed water formed in the process of drying the dishes in the box body 1 and discharging moisture will not drip onto the ground. When the door is opened, as the door body 2 opens, when the door body 2 is laid flat, the guide structure drives the water guide box 4 to flip over, and the water poured out of the water guide box 4 is transported to the water storage tank 11 at the chassis of the cleaning machine through the guide structure. Each time the door is opened, the accumulated water in the water guide box 4 will be poured out once, thereby ensuring that the water guide box 4 will not drip condensed water onto the ground due to overflow, thereby improving the user experience.
