Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fabric machines, and more specifically, to a sealing structure for a water tank connector of a fabric machine. Background Art

[0002] A fabric machine is a device used for surface cleaning of textiles; currently, fabric machines on the market mainly include a housing, a water pump, an air pump, a steam generating device, a clean water tank, a waste water tank, a negative pressure fan, and a cleaning head; the water pump, the air pump, the steam generating device, and the negative pressure fan are all installed inside the housing, the clean water tank and the waste water tank are connected to the upper part of the housing, the steam generating device is connected to the water pump and the air pump, the water pump is connected to the clean water tank, the negative pressure fan is connected to the waste water tank, the cleaning head is connected to the clean water tank and the waste water tank through pipelines. When the fabric machine is working, the water pump can pump the water in the clean water tank to the steam generating device, the air pump can transport compressed air to the steam generating device, the steam generating device can transport the steam to the cleaning head through pipelines, and the steam ejected from the cleaning head can clean the surface of the textiles. At the same time, when the negative pressure fan is working, it can create a negative pressure in the waste water tank, and the steam or liquid water after cleaning the surface of the textiles can be sucked into the waste water tank. In addition, the fabric machine also includes a connector body, the connector body is fixed on the housing, one end of the connector body extends out of the housing and is connected to the cleaning head in the fabric machine through a connecting hose, a connection port is arranged on the side wall of the connector body, and the connection port is used for connecting to the sewage inlet at the bottom of the waste water tank in the fabric machine. Moreover, the steam pipe connecting the steam generating device and the cleaning head needs to pass through the connector body and the connecting hose, and the connecting wire connecting the cleaning head and the main control circuit board inside the housing also needs to pass through the connector body and the connecting hose. Therefore, a sealing structure needs to be arranged between the steam pipe and the connecting wire and the other end of the connector body, and this sealing structure should ensure the airtightness of the connector body to ensure that the waste water tank can smoothly suck the steam or liquid water after cleaning the surface of the textiles through the connector body, the connecting hose, and the cleaning head; however, in the existing fabric machine structure, the sealing structure between the steam pipe and the connecting wire and the other end of the connector body is realized by applying sealant. Using this method not only has the disadvantage of complex process, but also has the disadvantage of high production cost. Summary of the Utility Model

[0008] In a possible implementation manner, an annular convex edge is arranged on the outer wall of the other end of the pressing sleeve, and a sealing ring is adhesively fixed on the other end of the joint body. The annular convex edge abuts against the sealing ring and seals circumferentially. After adopting this structure, under the combined action of the annular convex edge and the sealing ring, the sealing effect between the pressing sleeve and the other end of the joint body can be further improved, so as to further avoid the air leakage between the pressing sleeve and the joint body.

[0009] In a possible implementation, a number of snap buttons are circumferentially arranged on the outer edge of the annular convex edge, and on the outer wall of the other end of the joint body, there are clamping blocks corresponding to each snap button one by one.
