Currently, products on the market mostly use oil seals, shaft seals, or sealing rings to ensure the waterproof performance of cleaning machine motors. However, these sealing structures generally suffer from a short lifespan. Since cleaning machine motors typically rotate at high speeds during operation, current sealing structures can severely impact the lifespan of these motors.
[0003] Therefore, the applicant hopes to seek technical solutions to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a waterproof motor for a cleaning machine, which can prevent water vapor outside the bearing chamber from entering the motor and causing damage to the bearings. When the motor is working at high speed, it can still stably and reliably meet good sealing requirements, thereby ensuring the service life of the cleaning machine in which it is used.

[0010] Preferably, the bearing chamber and the outer periphery of the bearing are fitted with clearance.
[0011] Preferably, the number of the notches is 2-4, and the end of the sealing ring close to the bearing chamber is provided with a plurality of protrusions which are embedded and fitted with the notches in a one-to-one correspondence.
