DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] To make the technical content, structural features, purposes and effects of the utility model clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0027] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , which show an example of a fabric cleaning machine 100 of the present application. The fabric cleaning machine 100 has a horizontal main machine 1 which can be supported on a plane. The horizontal main machine 1 is connected with a suction pipe assembly 2. One end of the suction pipe assembly 2 is connected with the main machine 1, and the other end is attached with a cleaning head 3. The cleaning head 3 usually has a suction nozzle, a liquid spraying nozzle and a wiping component. In this example, the fabric cleaning machine 100 is a wired product, which is provided with a power cord 4 which can be wound on one side of the main machine 1.

[0028] ​The main body 1 includes a casing 11, a pump 12 and a suction motor 13 located in the casing 11, a clean water tank 14 and a dirty water tank 15 respectively detachably attached to the left and right sides of the casing 11, and a handle 16 located at the upper portion of the casing 11. The lower portion of the casing 11 has a recess 111 extending in the circumferential direction, and the suction pipe assembly 2 can be wound around the recess 111. The outer circumferential side wall of the casing 11 is further provided with a receiving rack 112, and the cleaning head 3 can be fixed to the receiving rack 112.

[0029] As shown in Figure 5 , the suction motor 13 is located below the pump 12. The suction motor 13 defines an axial line X extending in the vertical direction. The suction side 131 of the suction motor 13 is located inside the recess 111. The pump 12 can output clean water from the clean water tank 14. The suction motor 13 is used to generate suction power for sucking the suction pipe assembly 2 from the cleaning head 3.

[0030] The handle 16 is located between the clean water tank 14 and the dirty water tank 15 and has a portion protruding upward relative to the top wall 141 of the clean water tank 14 and the top wall 151 of the dirty water tank 15. In this example, the handle 16 is integrally inverted "U" shaped and is arranged transversely in the middle top portion of the casing 11 in the left-right direction. The clean water tank 14 and the dirty water tank 15 are respectively provided with recesses 140 and 150 to avoid the handle 16.

[0031] The upper portion of the casing 11 has an upper surface 17 below the handle 16 and a reinforcing rib 18. The reinforcing rib 18 separates the upper surface 17 into a first upper surface region 171 located in front of the reinforcing rib 18 and a second upper surface region 181 located behind the reinforcing rib 18; that is, the reinforcing rib 18 is located between the first upper surface region 171 and the second upper surface region 172. The upper surface 17 is lower than the top wall 141 of the clean water tank 14 and the top wall 151 of the dirty water tank 15. The reinforcing rib 18 is located directly below the handle 16. In this example, the reinforcing rib 18 protrudes upward relative to the first upper surface region 171 and the second upper surface region 172 and is flush with the top wall 141 of the clean water tank 14 and the top wall 151 of the dirty water tank 15, and the lower portion of the handle 16 is fixedly engaged with the reinforcing rib 18; the first upper surface region 171 and the second upper surface region 172 are both inclined surfaces.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2 , the first upper surface region 141 is provided with a switch assembly 5 that can be operated by the user. The switch assembly 5 is usually the on / off switch of the fabric cleaning machine 100.

[0033] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, the switch assembly 5 includes a switch cover 51, a button 53 supported on the switch cover 51 by a spring 52, a trigger element 54 supported on the switch cover 51 and located below the button 53, and a bracket 55. The switch cover 51 is supported on the bracket 55.

[0034] like Figure 8 As shown, the inner side of the switch cover 51 is provided with an annular groove 57, the bracket 55 is fixedly installed with the housing 11, the inner side of the switch cover 51 is also provided with a through hole 58 located inside the annular groove 57, and the switch cover 51 is also provided with a pair of water passage holes 59 that pass through the inside and outside of the groove 57.

[0035] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the lower part of button 53 is confined within an annular groove 57. The upper part of trigger element 54 passes through through hole 58 and is close to button 53. A gap 56 is arranged between the outer periphery of button 53 and switch cover plate 51. The annular groove 57 is located directly below the gap 56, allowing water falling on the top of button 53 to flow from the gap 56 into the groove 57 and further downward through a pair of water passage holes 59.

[0036] A water receiving groove 510 is defined between the housing 11, the bracket 55, and the switch cover 51. The water receiving groove 510 is located directly below the plurality of water passage holes 59. The housing 11 is also provided with a water guiding groove 511 extending in the vertical direction. The upper part of the water guiding groove 511 is connected to the water receiving groove 510 and the fluid is connected.

[0037] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, part of the water guide groove 511 is exposed on the exterior of the front surface of the housing 11. When water is trapped in the button 53, the water will flow from the gap 56 between the switch cover 51 and the button 53 into the groove 57, and then fall from a pair of water holes 59 into the water receiving groove 510, and then flow out into the water guide groove 511.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims, specification, and their equivalents.
