Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fabric machines, and more specifically, to a fabric machine with a water shortage detection function. 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, and 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 deliver compressed air to the steam generating device, the steam generating device can deliver 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 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; however, in the existing fabric machine structure, since the fabric machine does not have the function of water shortage detection, that is, when the water in the water tank of the fabric machine is insufficient, the fabric machine cannot prompt the user, which easily leads to the dry burning of the steam generating device, that is, it is easy to cause damage to the steam generating device. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a fabric machine with a water shortage detection function, which can prompt the user when the water tank in the fabric machine is short of water, and can avoid damage to the steam generating device.

[0004] The utility model provides a fabric machine with a water shortage detection function, including a housing assembly.

[0005] After the utility model adopts the above structure, when the water tank in the fabric machine is short of water, the water pump in the fabric machine cannot continuously extract the water in the water tank.

When the main control circuit board detects that there is no water flow in the water flow sensor through the water flow sensor, the main control circuit board can stop the operation of the fabric machine, such as disconnecting the power supply of the water vapor generating device, and can drive the alarm component to give an alarm, so as to play a prompting role for the user and avoid the damage of the water vapor generating device.
