[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 FIG. 1 is a preferred embodiment of a steam cleaning machine with improved waterproof performance of the utility model. The steam cleaning machine comprises a housing 1 , a boiler 2 , a safety valve 3 , a switch 4 and a waterproof cover 5 .
[0033] The housing 1 has an inner cavity 10, and the top wall of the housing 1 has a clearance opening 101 that is intersecting with the inner cavity 10. Specifically, the housing 1 includes a first shell 11 and a second shell 12 that are connected to each other on the left and right sides, and the top walls of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 respectively have a first notch 111 and a second notch 121, and the inner cavity 10 is surrounded and formed between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12, and the first notch 111 and the second notch 121 together constitute the clearance opening 101.
[0034] The boiler 2 is accommodated in the inner cavity 10 , and the top of the boiler 2 has a water inlet pipe portion 21 passing through the clearance opening 101 and exposed on the top wall of the outer shell 1 .
[0035] The safety valve 3 is installed at the end of the water inlet pipe portion 21 .
[0036] The switch 4 is installed at an upper position on the rear side of the housing 1 .
[0037] The waterproof cover 5 is flexible and made of silicone material. In this embodiment, the waterproof cover 5 includes a sleeve portion 51 , a shielding portion 52 and a limiting portion 53 .
[0038] Specifically, the sleeve portion 51 is sandwiched between the inner peripheral wall of the clearance port 101 and the outer peripheral wall of the water inlet pipe portion 21;
[0039] The shielding portion 52 is annular, and is formed by bending and extending outward from the peripheral edge of the top of the sleeve portion 51. The shielding portion 52 covers the connection gap between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 at the top of the housing 1; the edge of the shielding portion 52 close to the switch 4 is bent and extended upward to form a water retaining edge 521, and the height of the top edge of the water retaining edge 521 gradually decreases from the middle of the water retaining edge 521 to the end; a guide groove 522 is provided between the water retaining edge 521 and the shielding portion 52, and the height of the inner bottom surface of the guide groove 522 gradually decreases from the middle of the water retaining edge 521 to the end, so as to guide the water flow on one side of the middle of the water retaining edge 521 to one side of the end of the water retaining edge 521;
[0040] The limiting portion 53 is annular and is formed by bending and extending outward from the peripheral edge of the bottom of the sleeve portion 51 . The limiting portion 53 is limited below the edge of the clearance opening 101 .
[0041] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0042] (1) During installation, it is only necessary to align the limiting portion 53 and the sleeve portion 51 with the clearance hole 101 and insert them until the limiting portion 53 is limited below the edge of the clearance hole 101, and the waterproof cover 5 can be wrapped around the edge of the clearance hole 101 to be fixed;
[0043] (2) When water needs to be added, it is only necessary to remove the safety valve 3 and inject water into the boiler 2 by aligning the water inlet pipe 21. During the water injection process, water will inevitably spill onto the outside of the water inlet pipe 21. In this solution, on the one hand, since the shielding portion 52 covers the connection gap between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 at the top of the shell 1, water can be prevented from penetrating into the shell 1. On the other hand, due to the setting of the water retaining edge 521, water can be prevented from flowing backward to contact the switch 4. Finally, the water will flow to the left and right sides along the water retaining edge 521 and be discharged.
